missing *8t.tfm files
by Giorgos Keramidas 26 Aug '07

Hi all, I've recently started reading about typefaces in ConTeXt, and trying out the examples of `showfont.pdf', but stumbled upon errors for almost all the fonts. My installation uses teTeX-3.0 on FreeBSD: keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ pkg_info | fgrep -i tetex dvipsk-tetex-5.95a_2 Convert a TeX DVI file to PostScript teTeX-3.0_2 A meta port for teTeX suite teTeX-base-3.0_11 Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends (binaries) teTeX-texmf-3.0_5 Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends (texmf tree) xdvik-tetex-22.84.10_1 DVI Previewer(kpathsearch) for X keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ When I try typesetting: \definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery] \switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg] \starttext Foo bar. \stoptext All I get is an error like: % (/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)kpathsea: Running mktextfm uzcmi8t % mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input uzcmi8t % This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4) % % kpathsea: Running mktexmf uzcmi8t % ! I can't find file `uzcmi8t'. % <*> ...=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input uzcmi8t % % Please type another input file name % ! Emergency stop. When I try using the Palatino font, as shown in `showfont.pdf': \definetypeface [palatino] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=ec] \switchtotypeface [palatino] [12pt,rm] \starttext Foo bar. \stoptext I get very similar errors: % (/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)kpathsea: Running mktextfm uplr8t % mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input uplr8t % This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4) % % kpathsea: Running mktexmf uplr8t % ! I can't find file `uplr8t'. % <*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input uplr8t % % Please type another input file name % ! Emergency stop. Am I missing something, is there anything I can do to download these files, or generate them in my teTeX installation? Thanks in advance for any help, Giorgos

Buffers (gone) in MK IV (was: MK IV & Lilypond)
by Mojca Miklavec 26 Aug '07

I can > send along some log info if others have found it to work. Hans has mentioned several times that buffers are not going to be written to files with luaTeX any more. This has a weird consequence on many modules which relied exactly on that trick. Short example of what goes wrong: \starttext \startbuffer[a] Hello world! \stopbuffer \typebuffer[a] %\executesystemcommand{dosomethingwith \jobname-a.tmp} \stoptext The problem is that MK II created a file \jobname-a.tmp and lilypond module processed exactly that file further. In MK IV, that file is not created any more (you can check that by running the above example with --lua first and then with pdfTeX again. Only in the second case a file [whateverthefilename]-a.tmp is created.) Lilypond module relied on that "feature" (I would rather call it dirty-but-very-useful-trick). Hans, what's the current general recipe for this kind of [mis]use of buffers? Mojca

cweb-scr.pdf
by John Luciani 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Are the source files that were used to create cweb-scr.pdf on the http://www.pragma-ade.com site available for download? I am trying to get ConTeXt working on a cweaved TeX file and am getting an Undefined control sequence error. A working example (especially the source for the cweb-scr files) would be extremely useful. Thanks. (* jcl *) -- http://www.luciani.org

dvips; hungarumlaut
by Istvan Hollerbach 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi Evereybody, I have written a short tex file. Then I have made a dvi file by command: texexec --dvi proba.tex. A dvi and a ps files have been made. Dvi is ok, but ps not. I have deleted the ps file. In order to make a ps file I have inserted command: dvips proba.dvi. I have received an error message: This is dvips(k) 5.96 Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) dvips: ! Couldn't find header file tex.pro. Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2 mode. and In document mp-cb-en.pdf on page 73 and in ms-cb-en.pdf on page 95 in the table hungarumlaut (\H{u}) does not appear correctly. Hungarumlaut is a doubleacute on o, O, u, and U. Hungarumlaut or doubleacute is used solely in Hungarian language. Best regards, Istvan

TeX-Gyre package?
by Idris Samawi Hamid 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Dear Hans and gang, Has TeX-Gyre been released as part of MKIV yet? I was in the processing of updating my mswincontext distribution of 2007.08.07 and I noticed that cont-tmf does not contain the TeX-Gyre fonts. The reason I don't want to install the fonts from the official TeX-Gyre site is because, before the release of MKIV, I installed them (with the ConTeXt support files on that site of course) and they did not all work :-( So I'd prefer to install them from a single ConTeXt package/zip so that we could all have easier installation (just unzip) as well as a common benchmark, especially if things go wrong ;-) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Hi, Would somebody explain me in detail, how I can use for example typeface Times New Roman instead of Computer Modern? Which command to use and how? I need syntax in detail. Descriptions are obscure for me. I need codes in detail for fontnames too. Best regards, Istvan

Column enumerations start at zero
by M.guravage 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hi, I recently observed that column enumerations start at zero instead of at one. Has anyone else seen this? Here's a minimal example: % interface=en output=pdftex \starttext \startitemize[n, columns, three] \item foo \item bar \item hat \stopitemize \stoptext Is there a way to the initial counter value explicitly? So far my attempts with the setupitemize options have failed. Cheers, Michael PS: This is on Windows running the minimal ConTeXt distribution ver: 2007.07.03 19:38 MKII.

No header text on last page
by Jeff Smith 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Hello again everyone! I've searched the archive but couldn't find the solution to my current problem. In my document, the chapter name and number disappear from the header text on the last page. It's like the \getmarking doesn't work anymore and all I see is the period (.) that I use to separate the two info in the header text. The page number, for its part, is perfectly fine. I've made several tests and it's always the last page of the document, no matter the number of chapters. The problem is not an empty _page_ at the end of the document. I repeat it's a disappearing chapter name and number from the header. To make things easier, I attach a sample document with my current environment file and a dummy chapter. Just compile test.tex. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot for any help. It's always well appreciated. Jeff Smith
