Setting up header text
by cormullion 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

I’m trying to use \setupheadertexts to set up the headers to a specification. Is it possible to insert text between the various ‘chapter/section’ keys? What I want is something like this: | section “Chapter “ chapternumber “-” chapter | | “Chapter “ chapternumber “-” chapter section | where the “|” is a page edge, on a double-sided layout, and the “Chapter”s are literal strings, rather than the keys. I’m not clear from the command description whether this is possible. If not, might a clever macro do it? thanks

PDF bounding box problem?
by cormullion 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

I’m trying to place a PDF created by Adobe Illustrator 10 using \externalfigure. But it’s coming in with loads of white space around it. Although I’m new to ConTeXt, this reminds me of the old problem where there are different types of ‘box’ specified in the PDF file: one possibly specifying a paper size, others specifying perhaps the extent of the marks described within. The PDF file contains these ‘box’ lines: > /MediaBox [ 0.5 -0.5 612.5 791.5 ] > /ArtBox [ 206.97998 316.0459 402.12988 477.66016 ] > %%BoundingBox: 206 316 403 478 > %%HiResBoundingBox: 206.98 316.0459 402.1299 477.6602 > %AI3_TemplateBox: 306.5 395.5 306.5 395.5 > %AI3_TileBox: 30 35 582 761 > %%BoundingBox: 206 316 403 478 > %%HiResBoundingBox: 206.98 316.0459 402.1299 477.6602 > %%BoundingBox: 206 316 403 478 > %%HiResBoundingBox: 206.98 316.0459 402.1299 477.6602 > %AI3_TemplateBox: 306.5 395.5 306.5 395.5 > %AI3_TileBox: 30 35 582 761 > /FontBBox [ -167 -250 1006 939 ] > /FontBBox [ -222 -250 1006 922 ] To my untutored eye it looks like the MediaBox is being used - at least, the graphic takes up an area about Letter size. Is there some setting I’ve missed that lets me get the bounds of the graphics rather than the file? thanks!

Installing Bitstream fonts

I found a font package called bitstream-vera4context on a website and downloaded it. Unfortunately I can’t work out how to install them on my MacOS X system. Anyone care to give me the necessary mystic incantation? thanks

Fourier Expert Fonts
by Randall Skelton 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hi all, Can someone explain how I go about adding the Adobe Utopia Expert fonts so that ConTeXt is aware of them? I have the postscript fonts from Adobe but cannot figure out what to do with them. Is there a document that I've missed somewhere? Poking around in type-enc.tex suggests that much of the hard work has already been done... The type one fonts (Mac) were exported using FontLab and renamed to ls *.afm *.pfb futb8t.afm futbi9d.afm futr8t.afm futri8t.afm futs9e.afm futsc9wt.afm futb8t.pfb futbi9d.pfb futr8t.pfb futri8t.pfb futs9e.pfb futsc9wt.pfb futb9d.afm futbi9e.afm futr9e.afm futri9d.afm futsc9d.afm futsi9d.afm futb9d.pfb futbi9e.pfb futr9e.pfb futri9d.pfb futsc9d.pfb futsi9d.pfb futb9e.afm futc9d.afm futr9p.afm futri9e.afm futsc9dd.afm futsi9e.afm futb9e.pfb futc9d.pfb futr9p.pfb futri9e.pfb futsc9dd.pfb futsi9e.pfb futbi8t.afm futc9e.afm futrc9d.afm futs9d.afm futsc9hd.afm futbi8t.pfb futc9e.pfb futrc9d.pfb futs9d.pfb futsc9hd.pfb and tried to run a trivial fontinst script: \input fontinst.sty \needsfontinstversion{1.926} \recordtransforms{fut-rec.tex} \latinfamily{fut}{} \endrecordtransforms \bye but I don't get any propery list or virtual property list files? Apologies if this is trivial... it has been a while since I tinkered with fonts in TeX. Thanks, Randall

Active page numbers in contents?
by cormullion 09 Feb '05

In the index I create, the page numbers are active (marked green as defined in \setupinteraction). In contents entries, only the chapter numbers are active. Can I make the page numbers active in contents? thanks

Tex-Live bittorrent sites?
by karl＠freefriends.org 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Is there a bittorrent site for downloading the current version of texlive? Not that I am aware of. If you find one or can set one up, please email tex-live(a)tug.org with the info. For those who may not know -- Hans just asked me :) -- BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer system that lets big files be downloaded in small pieces from many different machines. The client reassembles the pieces. I haven't used it myself, although I've heard some good things about it. http://bittorrent.com/ karl

Fonts, Fonts, Fonts
by Nikolai Weibull 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Always with the fonts on this list... Anyway, I am running some recent beta of tetex and am still having problems getting fonts loaded in ConTeXt. \starttext \showbodyfont[cmr,12pt] \showbodyfont[lbr,12pt] \stoptext seems innocent enough, but produces two identical tables. pdfetex is complaining about an all-base.map: Warning: pdfetex (file all-base.map): cannot open font map file and there is no such file anywhere (and a grep through /usr/share/texmf, /etc/texmf, and /var/lib/texmf turns up nothing). Could someone provide me with a simple rundown on what I should do. I would really like to try typesetting my master's thesis in another font than cmr before I hand it in. Any suggestions are welcome.
