Line spacing in footnotes
by Oliver Buerschaper 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

Hi all, is there a way to influence the linespacing of the footnote block? I'd like to typeset it in 9pt/11pt while the main text is set to 12pt/ 14.5pt (using an OpenType font) ... Any help highly appreciated! Thanks, Oliver

Grid and footnotes [repost]
by Oliver Buerschaper 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

Hi all, I'd like to bring this issue up again because I didn't get any replies about two weeks ago (also I'm getting closer to handing things in to the printhouse) ... so comments, ideas, suggestions, solutions etc. very welcome ;-) Consider the following: --- \setuplayout [lines=41, grid=no] \starttext %\showframe[text] \showgrid \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte\footnote{This is some text} \par} \section{Test} \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte\footnote{This is some text} \par} \stoptext --- As long as the grid is turned off, the footnote block perfectly aligns with the bodytext frame. However, turn the grid on and the footnote block suddenly jumps about a line downwards. What's going on here? Best wishes, Oliver

A doubt while compiling modules
by luigi scarso 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

With $>texmfstart texexec --pdf --modules font-chi I have font-chi.pdf and no errors. But, the cover is... well, white: ie there are no more 'random box' I was used to see. Nothing to wrong "di per se" (time to make pdf is lesser so it's good), but I usually see it as a configuration error. (see www.logosrl.it/context/modules/2007-02-21/singles/font-chi.pdf ) I use last pdftex, last lm fonts, last context distro. luigi PS [OT] font-chi has some chines fonts (cfr www.logosrl.it/context/modules/chinesecontext.zip) Is there any example of arabic under base/ ?

I was blindly looking to the right point, but didn't notice the most obvious thing. I'm sorry for the noise and thanks for pointing this out again. Hans, can you please replace the following block of code in font-ini.mkii? (Please also include lm-ec.map into the ConTeXt zip if possible - you may throw it out again as soon as the typescripts for OpenType LM are ready.) \def\fontfilename#1{"#1"} \def\fontfilefile#1{"#1"} \def\fontfilesome#1{#1} % I don't know about the two above, but " doesn't work \beginXETEX \def\fontfilename#1{"#1"} \def\fontfilefile#1{"[#1]"} \def\fontfilesome#1{#1} \endXETEX Or perhaps: \def\fontfilename#1{"#1"} \def\fontfilefile#1{"#1"} \def\fontfilesome#1{#1} \beginXETEX \def\fontfilefile#1{"[#1]"} \endXETEX Mojca

How to align baselines?
by Helin Gai 13 Mar '07

13 Mar '07

Hi all, I have some difficulty lining up the baselines of two frames... Here's what I did: \hbox to\hsize{% \setupframed[frame=off]% \vtop{chapter \switchtobodyfont[20pt] 1}\quad% \vtop{\framed[width=6cm,align=right]{Test}} Any idea what's going wrong here? Thanks a lot!
