Is there a fix for this? Best, Alan

> Is it on windows? It seems -- unless your tests too are on linux Yes, it is on windows (Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 and 7.0.9) I tried with ghostscript 8.53, and all is ok. Don't know what with AcroRead 8. Wolfgang

That's what I see with (Adobe Reader 7.0.8; ConTeXt 2007.01.02 13:44). It depends on rulethickness and gets printed!!! Wolfgang

ConTeXt equivalent of plain tex method of loading fonts
by Aditya Mahajan 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hi, I was using rsfs (RalfSmithFormalScript) using the definition \def\mathrsfs#1{\text{\definedfont[RalfSmithFormalScript]#1\/}} rsfs comes in three design sizes, 10, 7, and 5. However $\max_{x \in \mathrsfs{X}}$ uses rsfs10 rather than 7. This is because RalfSmithFormalScript is a synonyn for rsfs10. If I use the plain tex method of loading rsfs \font\tenscr = rsfs10 at 12pt %bodyfontsize \font\sevenscr = rsfs7 at 9pt %scriptfontsize \font\fivescr = rsfs5 at 7pt %scriptscriptfontsize \skewchar\tenscr = '177 \skewchar\sevenscr = '177 \skewchar\fivescr = '177 \newfam\scrfam \textfont\scrfam = \tenscr \scriptfont\scrfam = \sevenscr \scriptscriptfont\scrfam = \fivescr \def\scr{\fam\scrfam} then I get rsfs7 in the subscripts. So, what is the ConTeXt equivalent of the above plain tex method of loading rsfs? Aditya

exit codes of texexec and texsync
by Peter Münster 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hello, the exit code of texsync is now 1 in all cases: success or failure of rsync. It should be 0 on success. The exit code of texexec is now 1 on success and 0 on failure. It should be the other way round. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
