Paper size, MediaBox, CropBox and cropping
by Pearson, Mark (Capita Symonds) 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi all, Does anyone know if it is possible to force the PDF output from ConTeXt to contain both a /MediaBox and /CropBox, having set up a document in the following manner: \definepapersize [BusinessCard] [width=85mm,height=54mm] \setuppapersize [BusinessCard] [A5,landscape] \setuplayout [location=middle, marking=on, header=0mm, footer=3mm, topspace=0mm, leftmargin=0mm, rightmargin=0mm, width=85mm, height=54mm, backspace=0mm] When I look at the PDF output I can only find the following box definition: /MediaBox [0 0 595.2756 419.5276] which works out to the size of the A5 sheet (595pt ~= 210mm, 419 ~= 148mm). However what I want to be able to encode in the PDF file is the size/position of the 'BusinessCard', or to put it another way, the positions of the crop marks, so that I can act upon that information using an external tool (specifically to generate a PNG image preview of the business card PDF with correct cropping) Many thanks, Mark. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Mark Pearson BSc (hons) MSc DPhil IT Consultant Capita Symonds The Capita Building, Kingmoor Business Park Carlisle.

Math typescript question
by Randall Skelton 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Hi all, I have created a typescript for one of that defines the Utopia expert font along with a few others and tries to make use of the Fourier math font. The use of my own 'Utopia' typescript is largely historical but it is also that the default one with ConTeXt seems a little off (missing headline/display but defines some variants that Linotype is unaware of?). In any case, below is what I have to define the math section but I'm getting some rather strange results with it. In particular, I'm not getting the correct sized parantheses when using '\left(' or '\biggl(' and math accent characters (i.e. '\hat' and '\dot') are not above the character, but in the middle of it. I don't really know if this is the best way to define a math font within a typescript but it seems to get me most of the way there. NB, it is based on some of Adam's Euler typescript. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

All, On contextgarden.net/Fonts, dead link? ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/garamond.zip I still managed to find the fonts: http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/nonfree/fonts/urw/garamond/ And this command worked for me: sudo texfont --fontroot=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local --ma --in --ve=urw --co=garamond --show David

texfont confusion
by David Arnold 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

All, I've used svn to download the manuals and I'm in the font manual directory. I cannot get this command to do anything: fonts $ sudo texfont --vendor=test --collection=test --makepath -- install --batch demofont.dat TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 processing batch file : demofont.dat But this command does do something: fonts $ sudo texfont --vendor=test --collection=text --makepath -- install demofont TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done. encoding vector : texnansi vendor name : test source path : . font collection : text texmf font root : /usr/local/tetex/share/texmf.local pdftex map file : texnansi-test-text.map source path : . processing files : all in pattern demofont locating afm files : using pattern ./demofont.afm locating afm files : using pattern demofont copying files : afm copying : demofont.afm copying files : pfb copying : demofont.pfb extending map file : /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/ map/pdftex/context/texnansi-test-text.map font identifier : Iwona-Regular -> text -> tfm + vf generating raw tfm/vpl : texnansi-raw-demofont (from demofont) generating new vf : texnansi-demofont (from texnansi-raw-demofont) updating map file : texnansi-test-text.map generating : ls-r databases mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done. What gives? Secondly, you see my typo? That is, --collection=text. So, now I want to know how to repair the damage. Can I remove this with texfont? Or do I have to go to all the individual places and remove manually files and directories. And what command do I type after this manual deletion? David

mfonts.tex
by David Arnold 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Hans et al, OK. I'd like to start with mfonts.tex. I am working with GWTeX on Tiger and have just updated to all of Gerben's latest stuff, so I am as current as I can be with that distribution. I do have Ruby on this Mac. So, hold my hand and and guide me through the compile stage. The first problem, as I see it, is to get the expected organizational tree for these manuals For example, in mfonts.tex, we have: \environment ../allkind/mcommon.tex So, should I do some sort of cvs thing and check out all these manuals and documents? That seems to be the first issue to address. David Arnold College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department Eureka, CA 95501 (707) 476-4222 http://online.redwoods.edu/instruct/darnold/

Floats page?
by Giuseppe Bilotta 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

How do I tell ConTeXt that I don't mind if the pages are totally filled by floats (two, three, as many as fit) even if there is no text whatsoever? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Setting up items...
by Otared KAVIAN 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

HI all, I have a rather long sequence of items in which each one is numbered with a right stopper, a right parenthesis. Items numbered from 1) to 9) are correctly aligned and what I want is to have items 10) to 12) (for instance) be aligned in the same way, that is: (9) item number 9. (10) item number 10. (11) item number 11. (12) item number 12. in other words numbers above 10 should protrude to the left, not to the right (see the minimal example below). I am sure at some point in the past I solved this issue but I cannot find anymore how... Can anyone give insight? Another, secondary question, is: how can I make the items be numbered like: (1) item one (2) item two that is numbers are enclosed between parentheses? Thanks a lot in advance: OK %% item-sample.tex \defineconversion[exercise][\numbers] \starttext \startitemize[exercise][style=bold,stopper=)] \dorecurse{12}{\item This is question number \recurselevel.} \stopitemize \stoptext

[BIB] nocite / criterium=all
by Giuseppe Bilotta 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Small problem with bibtex. I have (in a document different from the one I mentioned before) \setupbibtex[database={mrabbrev,bilotta}] \setuppublications[alternative=ams,criterium=all] but when I do \placepublications[criterium=all] I get nothing. If I \cite[something], that something gets included. How am I supposed to place all the publications without citing anything? BTW, you may also want to introduce the \nocite command, which adds something to the publications list without actually citing it in the text. If you want, you can make it support the \nocite[*] syntax to hiddenly cite everything. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta P.S. This is rather urgent ...
