Can I use OpenType fonts with ConTeXt on Windows right now
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hello, Thanks a lot for people who replied to my "OpenType in Windows" topic. I have learned a lot about perspectives, but... can someone make it clear -- CAN I use OpenType fonts with ConTeXt on Windows right NOW (without conversion to other formats), and, if possible, what I have to do to achieve it? Thanks. -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hi, I want to change the font size of the list of publications to \small. This needs to be done in the style file. But I could not find any option to do this in the bib module. What is the correct way to do this? Aditya

xetext-pdftex differences
by Steffen Wolfrum 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hi, as there are some on this list working/playing with xetex/context: Where do I go when I experience differences between context/pdftext and context/xetex? For example with context/xetex I get ... ! Undefined control sequence. \stopframedtext ->\dostopframedtext ... and I do get "SS" instead of eszett ("ß") with the following: \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \usetypescript[times][ec] \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[utf] \setupbodyfont[times,9pt] Hello Thermes! 1234567890 üööäß Whom to tell this? Steffen P.S. Besides these details it is amazing how smooth ConTeXt files run with XeTeX!!

default pdf version in the current ConTeXt release
by Zhichu Chen 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hi, I don't know if it occurs to you ever, but once I update ConTeXt to the current release, my pdf file could be opened by Acrobat reader and shows several blank pages. But Foxit reader seems take it pretty well and everything is showed like I imaged. I'm using Windows by the way. Before I gave up Acrobat reader and turned to Foxit reader, I made my last try: I put \pdfoptionpdfminorversion=3 in my source file and the pdf file shows correctly in Acrobat reader now. When I changed the number to 4, it shows with some problems. When I changed it to 5 and higher, it shows only blank pages. So, just FYI, I suppose the default pdf minor version is 5, and if you have a display problem with your pdf files, try to make it lower. -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

I thought that I was supposed to put something on the wiki since I bothered everyone for it... ;-) So I did. But it was just a quick first draft, and I did it mainly as a way of saying 'thanks' for everyone's help... <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Page_numbering_in_words>

Math symbols in Gentium
by Kumar Appaiah 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Dear ConTeXt users, I have found Gentium to be a nice free alternative font for my documents. I was wondering why the Greek symbols don't get used in documents which use Gentium. They sem to use the same cmr fonts for the math parts. Is it expected to work that way, or is there a way to get the Gentium symbols? My type-sil-gentium.tex has this line, if that's relevant. \definetypeface[sil-gentium][mm][math][default][default][encoding=\defaultencoding] Thanks.
