ConTeXt logo adaptation
by Idris Samawi Hamid 16 Apr '05

16 Apr '05

Dear musketeers, My favorite ConTeXt logo (from cont-log), \def\Context {{C\kern -.0667em\getscaledglyph{.8}\empty{O\kern -.0667emN\kern -.0549emT\doifitalicelse{\kern-.1em}{\kern-.1667em}\lower.5ex\hbox {E}\doifitalicelse\empty{\kern-.11em}X\kern-.055emT}}} does not adapt to the surrounding typeface. Try ======================= \definetypeface [palatino] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=ec] \switchtotypeface[palatino] \starttext I love \Context\ very much! \stoptext ======================= And the logo remains in lmr. I can work around this: ======================= \def\Context {C\kern -.0667em{% \switchtobodyfont[small]% \getscaledglyph{.7}{}% this calls lmr O\kern -.0667emN\kern -.0549emT\doifitalicelse{\kern-.1em}{\kern-.1667em}\lower.5ex\hbox {E}\doifitalicelse\empty{\kern-.11em}X\kern-.055emT}} ======================= but a universal solution for cont-log is needed.

superior footnotes
by Idris Samawi Hamid 16 Apr '05

16 Apr '05

Dear posse, 1. With footnotes, is there yet a way to define the starting numeral-mark? Say, I want my first footnote incremented so that the first notemark is , not `1' then `2', but `1234' then `1235', etc. 2. I tried a workaround: ======================= \defineconversion[set1234][1234] \setupfootnotes [conversion=set 1234] ======================= but a spurious numeral `1' gets typeset alongside the notemark. What am I missing? Finally, the ConTeXt footnote mechanism does not (afaik) take into account superior numerals. We need a setup option, e.g. ======================= \setupfootnotes [numeral=superior]%inferior, normal, with % normal as default ======================= to cut off the mechanism for automatically raising and reducing the size of the numeral (\high I presume). Yes, there is the empty (text)command=<empty> trick, but to use superior numerals all this should not be necessary. Thnx as always Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

dvips and ConTeXt
by Idris Samawi Hamid 16 Apr '05

16 Apr '05

Has anyone succeeded in getting dvips working for Latin Modern? If I install lmr to psfonts.map (with updmap) ======================= ec-lmr12 LMRoman12-Regular <ec-lm.enc <lmr12.pfb %etc. ======================= and do =========test-lmr========= % output=dvi interface=en \starttext This is a test of dvips and Latin Modern. 1234 \stoptext ======================= dvips does not complain: ======================= This is dvips(k) 5.94b Copyright 2004 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2005.04.16:1112' -> test-lmr.ps <texc.pro><ec-lm.enc><texps.pro>. <lmr12.pfb>[1] ======================= but ghostview does not display anything. On the other hand, dvips seems to work with fonts (like urw Garamond) that contain only 256 characters. Now e.g. lmr12.pfb contains more (which is why we can get e.g. old style numerals without virtual fonts there), but it seems to be at the cost of dvips (based on my experiments and investigations). (Thank goodness dvipdfmx still works!) Is dvips obsolete as far as ConTeXt is concerned?

Hello out there, after a \quotation no line break is possible. For what reason? Is this a bug or a feature?

Possible bug in verbatim
by Idris Samawi Hamid 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

Dear cartel, There is an apparent bug in the verbatim mechanism. In the following example, the `A' is typed but the curly brackets are not typed after \head. \type works as expected in the other two instances. I tried \relax (and a couple of other hacks) but that does not help. Please advise. Thnx in advance Idris ========================= % output=pdf interface=en \type{ {A} } \startitemize \head\relax \type{ {A} } \type{ {A} } \stopitemize \bye ========================= ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
