Parsing texexec output
by Philipp Reichmuth 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi, I was fixing a bug in my AucTeX and found that at present it is difficult to parse the output from texexec. Basically Emacs runs texexec in a buffer in --batchmode, then tries to parse the output whether an error occurred and where. Unfortunately with texexec I don't get any error messages (besides the return code), so if something goes wrong, the user only knows that something isn't right, but not what it is. (It also doesn't print page numbers, either.) In comparison, LaTeX when run in \nonstopmode prints the error message normally and continues to process the file; that makes it easy to parse it, jump to the line where the error was detected and even present the user with an explanation of the error message. In order to get similar features with ConTeXt, it would be nice if texexec could be made to be a little bit more verbose in its --batchmode output. Is there a way to do this currently? Philipp

Hello Hans & all deep macros diggers, making final editting of czech translation of beginners manual I have discovered a next error. It appears when page break occures inside of startlines environment together with MPgraphics. Minimal example is attached. Any idea, please?

Still have no idea about how to specify fonts in JavaScript fields.
by Zhichu Chen 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hello everyone, Thanks for suggesting some great documents last time. But after looking up in AcroJS Guide, and PDF Reference , etc., I still don't know how can I use special fonts in a JavaScript field. My JS code is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ function start_clock() { var thetime=new Date(); var nhours=thetime.getHours(); var nmins=thetime.getMinutes(); var nsecn=thetime.getSeconds(); if (nhours<0) nhours="0"+nhours; if (nsecn<10) nsecn="0"+nsecn; if (nmins<10) nmins="0"+nmins; font.Digital = font.CourBI ; vv = this.getField("time.clock") ; if (vv) { vv.value = nhours+":"+nmins+":"+nsecn; vv.readonly = true ; vv.textColor = color.red ; vv.textFont = font.Digital ; // font.TimesBI Cour HelvB Symbol ZapfD this.dirty = false }} timeout=app.setInterval('start_clock()',1000); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I guess there are already some definitions about ``font.CourBI'' but where can I find the original code of the definition which I can imitate it to create a new font. Thanks -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Re: [NTG-context] using cmbright and hfbright fonts
by M.J. Kallen 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Ok, I've solved the AMS symbol problem by defining the following typescripts: \starttypescript [math] [cmbr] [default] \definefontsynonym [Cmbr-Math-Alpha] [cmbras10] \definefontsynonym [Cmbr-Math-Beta] [cmbrbs10] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [cmbr] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathAlpha] [Cmbr-Math-Alpha] \definefontsynonym [MathBeta] [Cmbr-Math-Beta] \stoptypescript Now it just needs cleaning up... In anticipation of further refinement, I've put a test on my wiki userpage at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Maarten-Jan. ConTeXt live has the CM bright font installed, but not the hfbright Type1 version. Maarten-Jan ----- Original Message ---- From: M.J. Kallen <mj_kallen(a)yahoo.com> To: [NTG-context] maillist <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 1:10:54 PM Subject: [NTG-context] using cmbright and hfbright fonts Hi all, I couldn't find anything on using the Computer Modern Bright font together with the Type1 versions (hfbright) so I experimented a little myself. I consider myself a ConTeXt novice, so I hope others can help me improve it. Attached are two source files: cmbr.tex and textfragment-context.tex. The latter is the text used to test fonts in the free font survey (http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/Free_Math_Font_Survey/survey.html) loosely adjusted for use in ConTeXt. The first file contains my attempt at defining typescripts for CM Bright and compares regular modern with CM Bright. I have a pdf output available for those who do not have the necessary font files. I'm particularly interested in CM Bright/hfbright, because of the sans serif math font which I believe is a good candidate for use with other sans serif fonts (like the Verdana example in This Way #9). Besides fixing any mistakes in my typescripts and setting things like bold math and encodings up correctly, the one thing that remains to be done (I think) is to define the math collection for cmbr. I'm not sure if something elaborate like math-ams.tex is required. hfbright has two files hfbras10.afm and hfbrbs10.afm, which look very similar to msam10.afm and msbm10.afm so maybe there's an easier way (font synonyms?) of using the hfbright AMS symbols instead of the regular AMS symbols? I think this would be a nice addition (perhaps in the form of a module) to ConTeXt. Any suggestions and help are greatly appreciated!

overlay problem with textext
by Peter Rolf 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi all, the attached example works with the version from 17.11.|20.11., but not with the current (22.11.06, 11:02) one. The problem seems to be in the use of textext, as it 'works' (background is visible) when I exchange p:= textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; with p:= nullpicture ; I couldn't test the current version on contextgarden (still 20.11., which works ok), so I'm unsure, if it's my messy tex tree or a general problem. Greetings, Peter \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupcolors[state=start] \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p ; numeric o ; path a,b ; pair c ; p:= textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; o:= BodyFontSize ; a:= unitsquare xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) ; p:= p shifted(2o,OverlayHeight-ypart center p) ; drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red) ; b:= a superellipsed .95 ; fill b withcolor .85white ; draw b ; b:= (boundingbox p) superellipsed .95 ; fill b withcolor .85white ; draw b ; draw p withcolor black ; setbounds currentpicture to a ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame] [\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText] [frame=off, background=FunnyFrame] \def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame{\stopFunnyText} \def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread1em{\hss\strut#1\hss}}} \setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{}%initializethetextvariable \starttext \FrameTitle{Test} \StartFrame \input zapf\relax \StopFrame \stoptext

the same old \column problem
by Henning Hraban Ramm 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hans et al, did \column ever work or is it supposed to? I.e. I guess I should be able "jump" to the next column in \startcolumns ... \column % next column ... \stopcolumns Without the \column, it works only for longer paragraphs, but e.g. not with \startlines - I'm trying to typeset lyrics, and the column *always* breaks within a verse instead of between, even if all the verses have the same number of lines, so that it would be easily possible to balance cleanly.

unic-xxx.tex glyph lists: minor bugs, questions
by Philipp Reichmuth 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi, I've been writing a script that sifts through the unic-xxx.tex files to get a readable mapping what Unicode characters are supported using \Amacron-style names. In the process I found one bug and something that might be another bug: - the Cyrillic block (unic-004.tex) is missing an \unknownchar line for U+04CF, so that the remaining (few) glyphs are off by one - the Hebrew block (unic-005.tex) starts with a \numexpr line indicating an offset of 224 = E0; however, the first character in the list is U+05D0. So either the whole block is off by 16, starting at 0x0490 instead of 0x0500, or the 224 should be a 208 (=D0) instead. BTW unic-005.tex is the only file with Macintosh line endings. Are the unic-xxx files automatically generated or maintained by hand? Incidentally, it would be trivial now to put the list of ConTeXt glyphs on the Wiki, if anyone's interested. I wanted to use this to work towards better support for the whole range of ConTeXt glyphs with OpenType fonts under XeTeX, by reading what ConTeXt glyphs are available in a font and building a list of "\catcode`ā=\active \def ā {\amacron}"-style list for the rest. (Unfortunately this kind of list would be font-specific, but the generic alternative would be a huge list of active characters with an \ifnum\XeTeXcharglyph"....>0 macro behind it, and that would probable be quite slow.) I wonder if there is a more intelligent way to achieve this goal; since part of the logic for mapping code points into glyph macros exists already, it would be easier if there was a way to reuse that. The best way out would be if I could enable ConTeXt's UTF-8 regime while running XeTeX in \XeTeXinputencoding=bytes mode, but I haven't gotten that to work yet. Philipp

mark ii/iv
by Hans van der Meer 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

In the most recent release notes on contextgarden it is said: "This was the first version that separates between a 'mark ii' and 'mark iv' version." I guess I missed something important, but I am ignorant on the terms "mark ii" and "mark iv" version. Searching contextgarden did not reveal an explanation to me. I would appreciate if someone can point me to some reading stuff. met vriendelijke groet Hans van der Meer

Hi, I'm trying to make my document in ConTeXt and in I have some problem. Problem is in my environment for theorems. Every theorem has name and number. I had defined "enumeration" for them. Theorem-text is typed in framedtext, with backround. Theorem's title is defined by \setMPtext, and is typed in MPgraphic (\MPstring). I want to type also theorem's number (Theorem 1, ...) instead of "Here", but there is a problem: \MPstring{TheoremCaption} is empty. Where I'm making mistake?
