Hi Gerben, When trying to update ConTeXt with i-Installer, I see this: "Remote Package: Remote is being updated since 2006/06/23 04:02:30" Is it a normal situation? Thanks in advance: OK

I agree the above works, but when I use Arabic fonts and content it doesn't seem to. I have new tex and pdf files at: http://www.capdm.com/public/context/figtest.tex and http://www.capdm.com/public/context/figtest.pdf > Hans: How do we configure the "."=>"-" separator? This I have worked out! \setupcaption[figure][separator=-] Doh. Thanks, Duncan

Typescripts tutorials?
by Jason Knight 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hello -- I'm getting ready to get some new fonts working and I'm trying to figure out typescripts. Specifically, I'm confused about the syntax of the \starttypescript [][][].... statements. Is there an explanation of these files in non-code (ie, English)? jason

How to increase left and right padding of cells in a natural table?
by Nicolas Grilly 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hello, I'm using natural tables (\bTABLE ... \eTABLE) and I want to increase the space between the cells borders and the text inside the cells (CSS calls that left-padding and right-padding). I didn't use parameter "offset" because I want to increase only left and right padding. I don't want to increase top and bottom padding. How can I do that?

frontmatter
by wwl＠musensturm.de 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hallo! I am trying to use 'standardmakeup' to produce 'Schmutztitel'-page with a following blank page. I think this is what \start\stopstandardmakeup is for (in doublesided environments). But the example bellow has first a blank page and then 'Schmutztitel'. There is a fourth blank page too. ------------------------- \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout [ footer=.04\paperheight, %1 grid=yes, %2 marking=on, location=middle, width=middle, height=middle] \starttext \startfrontmatter %3 \startstandardmakeup Schmutztitel \stopstandardmakeup \stopfrontmatter %3 bla \stoptext ------------------------- My experiments: - a space-char between 'doublesided' and ']' removes the last blank page (strange). - uncommenting the lines in position 1,2,3 exclusivly results in the correct behaviour. I would like to understand what the problem is and why, for example, uncommenting frontmatter solves the problem. I thought frontmatter is the place to do title-things and so. Grüße, Wolfgang

puzzling font replacement
by albert＠gv.pl 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

When I use recent ConTeXt (through Mac i-installer's ConTeXt updater), all I get is documents typeset in a kind of poor quality Times, with all ligatures gapped in the PDF file. Older documents, when re-run with the recent version, all show the same font replacement. Could somebody please explain what's going on? Don't know much about all behind-the-scenes procedures. regards Wojtek Lukaszewicz
