Checksum mismatch for lucida
by Renaud AUBIN 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

Hi all, I have lucida fonts installed and the resulting pdf is ok but I obtained with texexec the following warning: DVItoMP warning: Checksum mismatch for texnansi-lbr (...or another lucida font) I assume it is a problem with .map files on my installation but... Maybe one of you has already dealt with this problem ? (I use debian testing + tetex + context in ~/texmf) Renaud

Aditya, Thanks for the reply. The Wiki has information on installing (or updating) context from a distribution such as teteX. Anyway a minimal install turned out to be quite a simple process. Here is how I did it: #!*&================================ #!/bin/bash cd /usr/local unzip justtex.zip unzip linuxtex.zip cd tex . setuptex mktexlsr texexec --make --alone cp -a /usr/local/tex/texmf-linux/web2c/* \ /usr/local/tex/texmf-local/web2c/ mktexlsr #!*&================================ saji ... > On Tue, 4 Jul 2006, Saji Njarackalazhikam Hameed wrote: > > > Dear Context-ers, > > > > I would like to install the minimal context distribution, but have no > > idea of which zip files to download and how to configure the system.

04 Jul '06

All, How can I extend the main fraction bar in the following expression, making it a tad longer? \placeformula \startformula \dfrac{\dfrac{9+3x-2x^2}{x^2-16}}{\dfrac{4x^3-9x}{2x^2+5x-12}}. \stopformula

framed and align=no
by Hans van der Meer 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

I seem to have a problem with alignment in \framed; these are small examples with there outcome: \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{xyz} "no" comes out to the left} \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{\hfil xyz} "no" comes out in the middle} \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=middle]{\hfil xyz} "middle" comes out to the right} \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=right]{\hfil xyz} "right" comes out in the middle} \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=right]{xyz} "right" comes out to the left} I get the impression that although "align=no", there still is a \hfil put in at the right. Searched through the sources, especially core-rule.tex but could not find the right place; it is fairly complicated code, isn't it? Using \hfill to force the alignment is not an option, because I need that for overriding the alignment when using these alignments in macros. I would like very much to have "align=no" putting no glue, neither to the right nor to the left, thus making it different from "align=right". If I am right: 1. can someone point me to the point in the source where I can change things for the moment? 2. will this be changed then in the next release? Hans van der Meer

Linux User Installation Guide
by Nikolai Weibull 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_User_Installation Edit it to your hearts content, but please don't modify the sequence of commands, as they are correct. This is the setup that I use and I really like its simplicity. I don't have to deal with (the now dead) teTeX or worry about what directories will overrule some other. It's simple and sweet. (I set up HOMETEXMF as well, but that's a different story.) nikolai

small caps italic and font switching inside math
by Mojca Miklavec 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hello, I have to tiny questions: 1. How do I get small caps [bold] italic (except with the \definedfont[ec-lmxxx])? 2. I defined \molecule to be \def\molecule#1{$\rm#1$}, an usage example would be: \molecule{HSO_4^{-}} But how should I modify this it so that it would also work properly with examples such as: {\bfa A story about \molecule{SF_6}} {\scx A story about \molecule{SF_6}} {\bsb A story about \molecule{SF_6}} As a workaround I now keep hardcoding \molecule{\bsb SF_6}. Thanks, Mojca

[OT] Is Indesign CS 2 better than ConTeXt ?
by luigi scarso 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

OK, it is a big OFF TOPIC. Some notes * the Elements of Typographic Style was made with Indesign (true or false?) and the only words about TeX is an url (true or false ?) * indesign eat xml * there is an indesign server; maybe actually too much complex, but in the future? * I don't know if IDCS2 has some programming capabilities like ConTeXt Ofcourse : *IDCS2 come from Adobe, so it has the feature of latest pdf spec.; *IDCS2 is WYSIWYG * (...possibly many others...) But there is one important point: Can IDCS2 be view as candidate for automatic typesetting (xml->IDCS2->pdf) ? luigi

Index sorting again
by Richard Gabriel 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hello Hans, I'd like to remind the 2 persisting problems with the index sorting. 1. Numbers are sorted under A 2. Symbols are sorted under the first letter which follows. See the attached test file. Both these issues are independent on language and on the expansion type. Proposed solution: 1. Sort numbers into separate divisions 2. Sort symbols to a special division called "Symbols" Could you please look into it? May I help you any further (except the attached test file)? Many thanx, Richard
