cannot install Times (Cyr) ptb font using TexFont script under MiKTeX 2.5

Hello there, I cannot install Times (Cyr) ptb font using TexFont script under MiKTeX 2.5. I run the following command (from the folder where font collection sits) texfont --sourcepath=. --vendor=adobe --collection=timescyr --makepath --install It does copy the font source into "E:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\MiKTeX\2.5\fonts\tfm\adobe" (I have Windows on E:) but says "need at most two non-option arguments" and create no tfm and vf metrics. The problem resembles "[NTG-context] TeXFont Problem" issue that was reselved by reistalling TeX to a non-space path like C:/tex, but it is not a kind of thing I want to do with MikTeX 2.5. (I tried also a trick with fake fontroot timescyr>texfont --fontroot=e:\tex --sourcepath=. --vendor=adobe --collection=timescyr --makepath --install but was defeated as follows TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 processing aborted : unknown tex root e:\tex ) -- With best regards Vyatcheslav mailto:yatskovsky@gmail.com

Re: [NTG-context] typesetting in Cyrillic with Times
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 19 Dec '06

Hello, Ok, now I've started playing with Cyrillic fonts seriously. 1. Antiqua-torunska is really Cyrillic but its typeface far from Times Roman. \usetypescript[antykwa-torunska][t2a] \definetypeface[antw][rm][serif][antykwa-torunska][default][rscale=1,encoding=t2a] \setupbodyfont[antw,12pt] Unfortunatelly, it seems that it is only t2a-ready typescript. Using the same trick with iwona fails. Looking through type-enc I found that corresponding typescript misses t2a encoding. Why? 2. Did anyone consider the following font package? http://freshmeat.net/projects/urw-fonts-cyrillic -- With best regards, Vyatcheslav mailto:yatskovsky@gmail.com

Figure library -- figures not found but they are there

18 Dec '06

Hans et al, Running: figures $ texmfstart texexec --version TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD I have a figure library figlibLogic.xml, the first few lines of which are: <?xml version='1.0'?> <?context-directive job module fig-make ?> <?context-directive job mode letter ?> <figurelibrary language="en"> <description> <organization>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</ organization> <project>Intermediate Algebra Text</project> <product>Preliminaries</product> <comment>Figures for Logic Section</comment> </description> <figure> <file>LogicFigs-mpgraph.1</file> <label>realline1</label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> In attempting to compile this file with texmfstart texexec figlibLogic.xml, the log reports that it cannot find the figures. For example, figures : figure LogicFigs-mpgraph.3 can not be found [3.1] figures : figure LogicFigs-mpgraph.4 can not be found [4.1] figures : figure LogicFigs-mpgraph.5 can not be found However, they are there: figures $ ls LogicFigs-mpgraph.* LogicFigs-mpgraph.1 LogicFigs-mpgraph.26 LogicFigs-mpgraph.10 LogicFigs-mpgraph.27 LogicFigs-mpgraph.11 LogicFigs-mpgraph.28 LogicFigs-mpgraph.12 LogicFigs-mpgraph.29 LogicFigs-mpgraph.13 LogicFigs-mpgraph.3 LogicFigs-mpgraph.14 LogicFigs-mpgraph.30 LogicFigs-mpgraph.15 LogicFigs-mpgraph.4 LogicFigs-mpgraph.16 LogicFigs-mpgraph.5 LogicFigs-mpgraph.17 LogicFigs-mpgraph.6 LogicFigs-mpgraph.18 LogicFigs-mpgraph.7 LogicFigs-mpgraph.19 LogicFigs-mpgraph.8 LogicFigs-mpgraph.2 LogicFigs-mpgraph.9 LogicFigs-mpgraph.20 LogicFigs-mpgraph.log LogicFigs-mpgraph.21 LogicFigs-mpgraph.mp LogicFigs-mpgraph.22 LogicFigs-mpgraph.mp.keep LogicFigs-mpgraph.23 LogicFigs-mpgraph.mpb LogicFigs-mpgraph.24 LogicFigs-mpgraph.mpo LogicFigs-mpgraph.25 LogicFigs-mpgraph.mpx Any ideas?

uc-encoded fonts and accents
by Mojca Miklavec 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Hello, in enco-uc.tex there are some definitions which use "combining" accents: \definecharacter textgrave {\uchar3{0}} \definecharacter textacute {\uchar3{1}} \definecharacter textcircumflex {\uchar3{2}} \definecharacter texttilde {\uchar3{3}} \definecharacter textmacron {\uchar3{4}} \definecharacter textbreve {\uchar3{6}} \definecharacter textdotaccent {\uchar3{7}} \definecharacter textdiaeresis {\uchar3{8}} \definecharacter textring {\uchar3{10}} \definecharacter texthungarumlaut {\uchar3{11}} \definecharacter textcaron {\uchar3{12}} \definecharacter textogonek {\uchar3{40}} But this is almost useless, since those fonts that have things like "ccaron" missing (which are exactly the ones for which such kind of definitions might be useful) don't have any glyphs on those slots. Appart from that \buildtextaccent is used for "combining", so there should be no real need for using "combining accents" at that place. Here's a copy of relevant lines from contextnames.txt (as a refence to which values the values above should be changed if others agree): 005E;asciicircum;textasciicircum;CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT 0060;grave;textgrave;GRAVE ACCENT 00A8;dieresis;textdiaeresis;DIAERESIS 00AF;macron;textmacron;MACRON 00B4;acute;textacute;ACUTE ACCENT 00B8;cedilla;textcedilla;CEDILLA 02C6;circumflex;textcircumflex;MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT 02C7;caron;textcaron;CARON 02D8;breve;textbreve;BREVE 02D9;dotaccent;textdotaccent;DOT ABOVE 02DA;ring;textring;RING ABOVE 02DB;ogonek;textogonek;OGONEK 02DC;tilde;texttilde;SMALL TILDE 02DD;hungarumlaut;texthungarumlaut;DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT Would it be possible to fix those lines in enco-uc.tex? (Writing because I needed to use ccaron in one of the fonts which doesn't have that. After redefining textcaron to a proper value it worked OK for that specific font.) Thanks, Mojca

typesetting in Cyrillic with Times
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 17 Dec '06

17 Dec '06

Hello, How can I typeset in Cyrillic while using the Adobe Times or Utopia fonts? I don't believe that they contain no cyrillic glyphs. It is very disappointing to be limited to weird-looking computer modern. (I work with MikTeX). Thanks Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

tagging external figure files in output
by David Arnold 17 Dec '06

17 Dec '06

All, Suppose I have in my source: \placefigure [][] {none} {\externalfigure[sec3onea]} Now, when I compile, I'd like to have a label somewhere on the output figure in the pdf that says this figure is using the external file sec3onea.
