Positioning tag adding space before a chapter
by Paul Jones 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

I am using \StartPos and \StopPos to determine where text is positioned in the output document. This works very well except that when it is placed before the first chapter in the bodymatter it adds a blank page. All of the other chapters are fine. Is there some way for me to make this not happen? I don't understand everything inthe StartPos def. But if I remove the \StartPos from before the first chapter the blank page is not there, but I need that positioning information. I will be greatful for any help.

part conversion
by Idris Samawi Hamid 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

Dear gang, For a dossier I need to prepare a single part with page numbers I-1, I-2, I-3 etc. The following gives 1-1, 1-2, etc. ================================== \starttext \part{} \dorecurse{12}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext ================================== I could also cheat and just define my own conversion for a few pages. Can someone remind me how to do that (assuming that's the only way)?

Problem with ConTeXt installation
by Jeremy Johnson 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

I'm having problems starting ConTeXt with texexec on my Gentoo system. I've installed ConTeXt using the MikTeX Package Manager: "for p in `mpm --list|grep context | tr -s [:space:] | cut -d ' ' -f 4`; do mpm --install=$p; done" followed by a "texhash" and an "updmap" for good measure, and I've upgraded to the latest tetex-3.0_p1-r3 in Gentoo's portage. I've also followed the guide: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_Installation#Updating_Gentoo_Linux and modified /etc/texmf/fmtutil.d/00fmtutil.cnf by adding a '*' where indicated in the above referenced wiki. followed by texmf-update. BUT: $ texexec --version TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2006 pdfetex: unrecognized option `--alias=context' pdfetex: unrecognized option `--undump=cont-en' kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'. tex : unknown context : ver: 2006.07.14 12:08 cont-en : unknown pdfetex: unrecognized option `--alias=context' pdfetex: unrecognized option `--undump=cont-nl' kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'. cont-nl : unknown total run time : 5 seconds warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead And if I try to process some contex file: $ cat >test.tex <<EOF > \starttext > Hello World > \stopttext > EOF $ texexec test.tex TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 fixing texformat path : .: {!!/home/jeremy/.texmf-config,!!/home/jeremy/.texmf-var,/home/jeremy/texmf,!!/var/lib/texmf,!!/var/lib/texmf,!!/var/lib/texmf,!!/usr/local/share/texmf,!!/usr/share/texmf-site,!!/usr/share/texmf}/web2c/{$engine,} fixing engine variable : pdfetex executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : test output : standard interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 pdfetex: unrecognized option `--alias=context' pdfetex: unrecognized option `--undump=cont-en' This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) (/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'.

bfrange block CMap error in pdf file
by Sanjoy Mahajan 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

This file produces just a boldface 'a' via metafun: ============= bf.tex ============== \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \startreusableMPgraphic{fig} label (\sometxt{\bf a}, (0,0)); \stopreusableMPgraphic \reuseMPgraphic{fig} \stoptext ============= bf.tex ============== 'xpdf bf.pdf' produces tons of this error: Error: Illegal entry in bfrange block in ToUnicode CMap The log file had complaints from pdfetex about not finding fonts: Warning: pdfetex (file /home/sanjoy/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/original-public-lm.map): invalid entry for `cmex9': font file missing which I eventually fixed by getting it to use the pdftex map files instead of the dvipdfm map files. Though I don't understand fully why I could fix it (but that's for another msg). Even with the map files being found, the bfrange block error remained. The test file worked fine on the context live, so I diffed its pdf file with the one generated here, after uncompressing both (using pdftk: "pdftk bf.pdf output bb.pdf uncompress"). One difference is the following line in the broken pdf file: /CIDInit /ProcSet findresource begin12 dict beginbegincmap/CIDSystemInfo<< /Registry (TeX)/Ordering (T1)/Supplement 0>> def/CMapName /TeX-T1-0 def/CMapType 2 def1 begincodespacerange<00> <FF>endcodespacerange10 beginbfrange<0E> <0F> <2039><10> <12> <201C><15> <16> <2013><21> <26> <0021><28> <5F> <0028><61> <7E> <0061><C0> <D6> <00C0><D8> <DE> <00D8><E0> <F6> <00E0><F8> <FE> <00F8>endbfrange95 beginbfchar<00> <0060><01> <00B4><02> <02C6><03> <02DC><04> <00A8><05> <02DD><06> <02DA><07> <02C7><08> <02D8><09> <00AF><0A> <02D9><0B> <00B8><0C> <02DB><0D> <201A><13> <00AB><14> <00BB><17> <200C><19> <0131><1B> <00660066><1C> <00660069><1D> <0066006C><1E> <006600660069><1F> <00660066006C><20> <2423><27> <2019><60> <2018><7F> <002D><80> <0102><81> <0104><82> <0106><83> <010C><84> <010E><85> <011A><86> <0118><87> <011E><88> <0139><89> <013D><8A> <0141><8B> <0143><8C> <0147><8D> <014A><8E> <0150><8F> <0154><90> <0158><91> <015A><92> <0160><93> <015E><94> <0164><95> <021A><96> <0170><97> <016E><98> <0178><99> <0179><9A> <017D><9B> <017B><9C> <0132><9D> <0130><9E> <0111><9F> <00A7><A0> <0103><A1> <0105><A2> <0107><A3> <010D><A4> <010F><A5> <011B><A6> <0119><A7> <011F><A8> <013A><A9> <013E><AA> <0142><AB> <0144><AC> <0148><AD> <014B><AE> <0151><AF> <0155><B0> <0159><B1> <015B><B2> <0161><B3> <015F><B4> <0165><B5> <021B><B6> <0171><B7> <016F><B8> <00FF><B9> <017A><BA> <017E><BB> <017C><BC> <0133><BD> <00A1><BE> <00BF><BF> <00A3><D7> <0152><DF> <00530053><F7> <0153><FF> <00DF>endbfcharendcmapCMapName currentdict /CMap defineresource pop endend If I remove the '\bf' from the test .tex file, ============= bf-rm.tex ============== \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \startreusableMPgraphic{fig} label (\sometxt{\a}, (0,0)); \stopreusableMPgraphic \reuseMPgraphic{fig} \stoptext ============= bf-rm.tex ============== the resulting pdf file views without any errors, and this is the corresponding line in its uncompressed pdf file: /CIDInit /ProcSet findresource begin 12 dict begin begincmap /CIDSystemInfo << /Registry (TeX) /Ordering (T1) /Supplement 0 >> def /CMapName /TeX-T1-0 def /CMapType 2 def 1 begincodespacerange <00> <FF> endcodespacerange 10 beginbfrange <0E> <0F> <2039> <10> <12> <201C> <15> <16> <2013> <21> <26> <0021> <28> <5F> <0028> <61> <7E> <0061> <C0> <D6> <00C0> <D8> <DE> <00D8> <E0> <F6> <00E0> <F8> <FE> <00F8> endbfrange 95 beginbfchar <00> <0060> <01> <00B4> <02> <02C6> <03> <02DC> <04> <00A8> <05> <02DD> <06> <02DA> <07> <02C7> <08> <02D8> <09> <00AF> <0A> <02D9> <0B> <00B8> <0C> <02DB> <0D> <201A> <13> <00AB> <14> <00BB> <17> <200C> <19> <0131> <1B> <00660066> <1C> <00660069> <1D> <0066006C> <1E> <006600660069> <1F> <00660066006C> <20> <2423> <27> <2019> <60> <2018> <7F> <002D> <80> <0102> <81> <0104> <82> <0106> <83> <010C> <84> <010E> <85> <011A> <86> <0118> <87> <011E> <88> <0139> <89> <013D> <8A> <0141> <8B> <0143> <8C> <0147> <8D> <014A> <8E> <0150> <8F> <0154> <90> <0158> <91> <015A> <92> <0160> <93> <015E> <94> <0164> <95> <021A> <96> <0170> <97> <016E> <98> <0178> <99> <0179> <9A> <017D> <9B> <017B> <9C> <0132> <9D> <0130> <9E> <0111> <9F> <00A7> <A0> <0103> <A1> <0105> <A2> <0107> <A3> <010D> <A4> <010F> <A5> <011B> <A6> <0119> <A7> <011F> <A8> <013A> <A9> <013E> <AA> <0142> <AB> <0144> <AC> <0148> <AD> <014B> <AE> <0151> <AF> <0155> <B0> <0159> <B1> <015B> <B2> <0161> <B3> <015F> <B4> <0165> <B5> <021B> <B6> <0171> <B7> <016F> <B8> <00FF> <B9> <017A> <BA> <017E> <BB> <017C> <BC> <0133> <BD> <00A1> <BE> <00BF> <BF> <00A3> <D7> <0152> <DF> <00530053> <F7> <0153> <FF> <00DF> endbfchar endcmap CMapName currentdict /CMap defineresource pop end end One difference between the working and broken pdf file is the spacing in that line. The working pdf file has def /CMapType 2 def 1 begincodespacerange <00> ... beginbfrange <0E> The broken one has def/CMapType 2 def1 begincodespacerange<00> ... beginbfrange<0E> which may explain why xpdf is unhappy about the range entries. I'm not sure whether it's due to a further problem with my map files or texmf.cnf paths, or is a bug in pdftex. Any thoughts?

No! On page 3 there should be a difference between figure 1/2 and figure 2/3, if I understand it right. But there is nothing. page-flt.tex is changed at 2006.09.24 There is also a file core-pos.tex and core-pos.mkii from 2006.09.24 both. > Wolfgang (the younger one?) passports are not allways up-to-date! :-) Wolfgang
