figure occupies space into next page
by Gerhard Kugler 11 Mar '07

11 Mar '07

Hi, my first try to send was not successful, so I repeat: I have set a figure at left side. It approaches the botton of the page. The first line of the next page starts at the mid as if the rest of the figure would be there: ----------------------- | | text text text text text | figure | text text text text text | | text text text text text | | text text text text text | | text text text text text ----------------------- -------------automatic page break---------------- text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text How can I prevent this behavior? My command is simply: \placefigure [left][fig:gub3]{Das Relationsnetzwerk}{\externalfigure[gub3][width=0.45\textwidth]} Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de

Hi Wolfgang, Many thanks for you help. I solved this problem by simply \setuplayout[% ... , leftedge=20mm, rightedge=20mm] \setupheader[after=\hrule] It seems that if you give only one argument to \setupheader, it applies to the whole header, including the left and right edges. So, I just extend the edges off the page (or anywhere I need -- I don't use the edges for anything else). I'll use your \vrule idea to control the line thickness, although the \hrule default is about right anyway.

new problem (context update and miktex)
by R. Ermers 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

Dear All, I still have a large problem with the newest context update which is incompatible with the latest MikTeX installation. Many files are not regularly processed anymore. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to clean up the right Context files and reinstall an older version? I prefer not to make a mess of my Miktex installation. Latex still works. Thanks in advance, Robert This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.5) (preloaded format=cont-en 2007.3.4) 9 MAR 2007 18:00 entering extended mode **facturen.tex \emergencyend (facturen.tex ConTeXt ver: 2006.12.20 23:52 MK II fmt: 2007.3.4 int: english/english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded ("D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MiKTeX\2.5\tex\context\b ase\cont-new.tex" FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!

printing problem
by Alan Bowen 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

I have a 24 page PDF file produced using ConTeXt ver: 2007.02.21 11:55 MKII and the latest TeXShop. I can only print pp. 1-3 of this file with TeXShop. Acrobat Pro, however, has no trouble printing the entire file (mercifully—this paper is for a conference for which I leave tomorrow) and TeXShop has no problem with my other files, some of which are quite long. So I do I figure out what the problem is? It seems to be with the file, but I have no idea what. The encoding is hardly weird or unusual. Though I can print the thing, the problem is still somewhat pressing. I sent the file to two people who usually have no difficulty with my PDFs. But this time one could not open the file—it was reported as damaged. Alan

Hi all, Moreover, how do you get a rule in the header that extends from the left of the left margin, right across to the right of the right margin (including the gaps in between)?

\sf and bigggg fonts
by Xan 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hi, Is it possible to have the equivalent in \sf in context?. I tried \sf and I get an error. Strange because \sl, \bf, etc exist And another question: how to make very big fonts (for example: 60pt) in text and mathematical mode? I just want to change the font temporally (and don't touch \setupbodyfont) Thanks in advance, Xan.

New style alternative for \cite?
by Oliver Buerschaper 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hi Taco, I'd like to typeset my references in a sort of "authortitle" citation style in the main text (actually hidden away in footnotes, so the final length of the phrase is not an issue): T. Hoekwater, ConTeXt Publication Module How could this be done? After a quick glance at the module's source I figured this might take me weeks if not months to work it out myself :-( Thanks for your help and best wishes, Oliver

ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file ... not found
by Mojca Miklavec 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hello, Here's the same error report that has been discussed on(off?) the list already, but there has been no resolution so far. Should I ask the XeTeX mailing list? With texexec --xtx whatever I get: (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-xtx.tex)) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded ! Font \*12ptrmtfrm*=[ec-lmr12] not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found. <to be read again> \relax \xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \fontstrategy ...ame #1\csname #2#3#4#5\endcsname \tryingfontfalse \fi Well, OK, that's understandable. That's just an accidental mix-up with otf files in ConTeXt. Line 73 of font-ini.mkii should read \def\fontfilesome#1{"#1"} instead of \def\fontfilesome#1{"[#1]"} So I fix the error, remake the formats with texexec --xtx --make en but when I run a document I get ! Font \*12ptrmtfrm*=ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found. which really *is* strange, if nothing else because \font\a=ec-lmr12 works OK with plain XeTeX. The most weird part is that Akira claims that fixing that solved the problem on his computer, while the problem remains on my computer (both under standalone in Windows and gwTeX on mac), and other users complain as well. What could be the main reason for failure? One additional thing to consider is that one also needs these files: http://dl.contextgarden.net/misc/lm-maps.zip (for some reason they're in TeXLive, but not in gwTeX, and Gerben doesn't accept user requests any more) but that doesn't make any difference. (Btw: could these files please be added to standalone ConTeXt or to cont-tfm.zip? Not necessary all of them, but lm-ec.map could save a whole lot of troubles to XeTeX users.) The following issues dozens of errors first, but it works. \font\a=ec-lmr12 \starttext \a abc \stoptext If I delete "\a", it breaks (doesn't show anything). It looks as if map files would be loaded too late during format generation (or not at all), but I'm really clueless about what to do. Mojca PS for Hans - once again, here are the three possibilities for different font types: 1.) standard TeX fonts - no difference \font\a=ec-lmr12 2.) any font installed on the system - referenced by name, can switch to bold/italic/old style "automatically" \font\b="LM Roman12 Regular/B" 3.) open type fonts that reside anywhere in the texmf tree - using brackets \font\c="[lmroman12-regular]" And an example of more complex usage (for which you claimed that it should be moved to optional parameters). \definefontsynonym [DidotCaps] ['Didot:mapping=tex-text; Letter Case=Small Capitals;Ligatures=!Common Ligatures'][encoding=uc] It might be a good idea to have an extra parameter (additional optional brrackets) for letting the system know that we're dealing with an installed font (which means that one could automatically support bold/italic/bolditalic and add "mapping=tex-text" option to it).

Re: [NTG-context] lm update+ gyre and ctxtools doesn't work
by Dalyoung Jeong 08 Mar '07

Dear Taco, I have installed following map files in the folder /usr/local/gwTeX/ texmf.texlive/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ The map files are {cs-lm.map, ec-lm.map, el-lm.map, ..., texansi-lm.map, ts1-lm.map} which is included in the new version. I put those files only in the folder. Does it cause the problem? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung
