texfont produces faked ligatures with ec encoding
by Andreas Schneider 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hi, with the ec encoding, texfont produces faked ligatures, although the font has real fi and fl ligatures. With the texnansi encoding and the same commands, the ligatures are ok. (I checked this by compiling a simple sample file, just changing \setupencoding[default=ec] to \setupencoding[default=texnansi].) The font I'm trying to install is Bitstream Elegant Garamond (bgj) which I have got from a CorelDraw CD. I used the following commands to install the font (note that the fontroot is set because I create a Debian package): mkdir -p debian/font-elegantgaramond/usr/share/texmf texfont --fontroot=debian/font-elegantgaramond/usr/share/texmf --vendor=bitstrea --collection=eleggar --encoding=texnansi --makepath --install TeXFont 2.2.1 -

how to figure out the number of elements inside \defineconversion?
by Mojca Miklavec 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hello, I would like to \defineconversion and the use that set of symbols inside a metapost graphic. But I need to know the number of symbols, so that I can define enough "metapost images with symbols" in advance. I realise that there might be a problem since conversion can sometimes take an arbitrary number (using a command defined elsewhere), but if I could have a reasonable guess for conversions defined explicitely, that would already help a lot. (As a workaround and/or if there is no easy method to figure that out I can still hardcode "25" and wait until someone complains that that is not enough to satisfy his/her needs.) Thanks a lot, Mojca \startMPextensions numeric variant; variant = 1; vardef gp_the_symbol(expr n) = picture pict; % using metapost if variant=1: pict := image( fill fullcircle scaled 4pt; ); % TODO % using TeX, variant = 2 else: % TODO: limit the number first pict := sometxt(n); fi; pict shifted -center pict enddef ; def gp_point(expr x, y, n) = draw (gp_the_symbol(n) scaled 1 shifted (x,y)); enddef ; \stopMPextensions \starttext \defineconversion[abc][$\star$,$\bullet$,$\ast$] \startTeXtexts % TODO: 6 is only a guess: I need a better guess (3 in this case) \dostepwiserecurse{1}{6}{1}{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{{\convertnumber{abc}{\recurselevel}}}} \stopTeXtexts \startMPcode variant := 1; gp_point(1cm,0cm,1); gp_point(2cm,0cm,2); variant := 2; gp_point(1cm,1cm,1); gp_point(2cm,1cm,2); gp_point(3cm,1cm,3); gp_point(4cm,1cm,4); gp_point(5cm,1cm,8); \stopMPcode \stoptext

Problem with external graphics
by The Wizard 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

All - I am experiencing some strange behavior with external graphics. I use one file to setup all the graphics for later inclusion. All that is in the file is a bunch of "\useexternalgraphics" statements, so I can reference the graphics by name later. The problem comes when I try to use "\placefigure" instead of "\externalfigure". Here is an example: Figure setup: \useexternalfigure[Figure 1][Figure1][scale=520,type=pdf,factr=broad] % This sets up the file 'Figure1.pdf' for later inclusion If I then reference it using \externalfigure[Figure 1] the figure is included at the spot following the text, and fits on the remainder of the page, which is what I want. But if I try to add a caption to it by using \placefigure [force][] {} {\externalfigure[Figure 1][Figure 1]} the figure gets the caption, but always is placed on the top of the following page.

completecontent, completeindex
by David Arnold 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

All, If you use \completecontent or \completeindex, how do you manipulate the heads of these constructs? Can I change the text of the header, Contents to Table of Contents? Can I change the color? Can I change the font size and style? Can I suppress the headertext? Somewhat like \setuphead[chapter] [header=high]? Can I do other stuff I normally do with heads? Can I flush the head to the right edge of the page?
