non-integer bodyfont size
by Sanjoy Mahajan 14 May '07

14 May '07

I'm a bit confused about font sizes. I had a bunch of missing \Delta symbols in inline math (e.g. $\Delta x$), which I tracked down to \setupbodyfont[10.5pt] The non-integral point size works for text but not for math (the \Delta turned into a backquote). How to fix that? type-siz.tex has several sections to which I could add \definebodyfontenvironment or \definebodyfont lines. Which sections would I add to? Or can I put the additions outside of that file? And, most crucially, what are the magic lines :-) Thanks for suggestions, which I'll wikify. -Sanjoy

live broken & partially fixed (was: Can't get header repetition with multipage table)

Thanks for report (and many special thanks to those who read all the messages on the list and come up with ideas how to fix it - they know who they are ;) Next time simply CC to one of the gardeners. Live is fixed now, but I figured out that wiki is broken as well ... but since nobody submits anything to it anyway, there is really no need to hurry ;) Mojca

Add a headrule to the header and reduzie interlinespacing in narrower
by Bert Trüger 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hi, I have two problems. Firstly, I'd like to insert a headrule in textwidht under the headertext and secondly I am using the narrower-environement for citation, but instead of big interlinespace I'd prefer medium interlinespace for the citation. Probably it is the wrong way to use narrower for citations, what would be better? Further it would be fine, if I could disable indenting in the citations. Kind regards and thanks in advance Bert

hotkey definitions again
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hello, I have following two definitions for hotkeys \def\hotkey#1{\inframed[corner=00, offset=0pt]{\ #1\ }} \def\hotkey#1{\inframed[corner=00, offset=0pt]{\enspace#1\enspace}} The first is my favorite since it looks compact, but one-letter hotkeys look odd (the frame's height is more then width). \hotkey{Ctrl} - nice \hotkey{T} - not nice The second definition works better for one-letter hotkeys. \hotkey{Ctrl} - not nice \hotkey{T} - nice My question is: can I set the MINIMUM width of a box to have boxes not less then, say, squared. -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

linking to txt files
by Andrea Valle 11 May '07

11 May '07

Dear all, I've written an introduction to SuperCollider with ConTeXt. http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/sw/sc/prd_tSCIRMA.pdf I'm really happy of the result. Now, it has been suggested to have the included code accessible in some "cleaner" way (i.e. the supercollider source code as it is). My idea would be to add a link on something (e.g. a title of the code fragment) so that clicking on it in the pdf would open via a txt editor (or a browser, that's the same) the related sc source file. Something like opening movies or audio files, but with a text file. I guess it's simple but until now I found no way, Thanks a lot Best -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - DAMS Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault.

Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

in text enumeration?
by Michael 10 May '07

10 May '07

Hi, I'd like to define a 'enumeration' so I can type \doc, \doc, which expands to 'Document A', 'Document B' (so I don't have to keep track of the A/B/C. A defineenumeration does almost what I want except I want the 'Document A' to be part of a sentence rather than a special heading. (There is no 'intext' option in the 'location' parameter.). Plus, how can I have the A/B/C instead of 1/2/3? [conversion=Character] doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions are welcome. Cheers, Michael

embedded fonts
by Jörg Hagmann 09 May '07

09 May '07

Dear list members, I have a possibly off-topic and certainly naive question. But unfortunately it's urgent, and a systematic search would take too long: I just finished a 84 page document and sent it to the printer. They say the fonts are not embedded. Is there a switch that allows me to do that? If not, what else can I do? Thanks a lot, Jörg

large greek (math) font?
by Michael 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hi, I'm trying to make slides in ConTeXt and needs larger font size. However, in this example, the Phi is not showing up (works with 12/14pt) \setupbodyfont[20pt] \starttext This is a greek letter $\Phi$ \stoptext How can I get around that? I also wanted to use sans font and found that modules amsl apparently resets the font to rm. Thanks, Michael
