Dear Thomas and Arthur, Thank you for your detailed help. Copying texlua and creating .luatex file make luatools run smoothly. Now, luatools --generate run well. I'd like to ask a few questions. 1. But, there is a warning message as following for "luatools -- ini ...". %%%%%%%%%%%% ...... ....... language : patterns us for us loaded (n=[13],e=default,m=default) language : patterns agr for agr loaded (n=15,e=default,m=default) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.pat !

Re: [NTG-context] externalfigure and uppercase extensions
by Santy, Michael 13 Sep '07

> This makes sense. So much so that perhaps it could be added to the > core spec-tpd.tex file. I think it would make more sense for conTeXt to first convert an image's extension to lower case before trying to figure out rule to apply. Otherwise in order to be correct, you would need an entry for "Jpg", "jPg", "jpG", "JPg", "JpG", and "jPG" -- not even counting the permutations for "jpeg". > You could consider using a case-insensitive file system to store > your data on, and lowercasing all entity input to ConTeXt, but > that is more clumsy than the extra \definefileinsertion-s. I don't think a case-insensitive FS is going to be an option for us (*nix only). Back to my original question, should "\externalfigure[MY_FIGURE.JPG][type=jpg] work? Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of the type parameter? Cheers, Mike

externalfigure and uppercase extensions
by Santy, Michael 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hello, I'm using conTeXt as the renderer in a XML workflow and have run into a problem with externalfigure. When a user chooses to include a PNG, PDF, or JPG image with an extension that is capitalized (or more generally, not all lower case), the externalfigure just includes a grey box like it can't find the file. The snippet below illustrates the problem. Note that I'm able to include the image by renaming the file to IMG_0103.jpg and changing the externalfigure to the corresponding filename. \starttext \externalfigure[IMG_0103.JPG] \stoptext I tried adding type=jpg and/or method=jpg to the externalfigure arguments, but the file did not compile. I found that by adding the entry "\definefileinsertion{tpd}{JPG}{\handlepdfimage}" to the spec-tpd.tex file in the context distribution, the externalfigure is able to include this image correctly. Should the mappings in these files be case insensitive? I'm sure that I'm missing something basic. Could someone please enlighten me? Cheers, Mike Santy

broken pdfs, no joking!
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hello, Believe it or not, but despite of mtxrun and other problems, luatex worked properly for me right till 9-10 update. I've re-uploaded fresh mswincontext, unpacked it, and my test file with Times New Roman font complied smoothly. Once I updated to the latest cont-tfm package, it began producing broken pdfs! And it spoils everything with any third-party font, not only Times. Help!!! Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

chapter headers and table of contents
by Thomas Telkamp 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, If I use a construction similar to: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chapters_headers (that is, using the chapter title twice in the head), then my chapters also appear twice in the table of contents! What can I do to prevent that from happening? thanks, Thomas

xetex and external pdf stretching
by Andrea Valle 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, I'm experimenting with xetex as suggested. All ok up to know. But I'm having a strange problem with figures. Typically I create my diagrams with Omnigraffle, export them in pdf (default setting) and reimport them in ConTeXt. Always fine. Using texexec --xtx I'm having a strange scale in vertical dimension, i.e. the figure is vertically stretched. The figure is ok, because the problem does not arise when I omit the -xtx flag. The code I'm using is trivial \placefigure{{\em Semiotiche}: produzione, distribuzione e accesso.} {\externalfigure[pipeline][width=\textwidth]} No stretching using a png instead of a pdf \placefigure{{\em Semiotiche}: produzione, distribuzione e accesso.} {\externalfigure[pipeline][width=\textwidth]} I guess it could it be in some way related to fonts (the fig is a a diagram labelled with text)?

luatex:first steps
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hallo, I have installed the newest windows standalone context package. My first try was with this snippet, found as 'test-2' at luatex.org: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \lua {tex.print("$\string\\sqrt{2} = " .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$")} \luatex {tex.print("$\string\\sqrt{2} = " .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$")} \rescan{\lua{tex.print("$\string\\sqrt{2} = " .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$")}} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% but \luatex is unknown. After commenting line 2 I get a TeX prompt (*) and after some \end's I got the result. Should this work in this way? And with this %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % coding: utf-8 \mainlanguage[deo] \enableregime[utf] \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,12pt] \starttext Bla {\bf blub} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I get the error ---------------------------------- error >> define font: font with name texgyrepagella-regular is not found. <to be read again> \relax \xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \fontstrategy ...me \fontclass #2#3#4#5\endcsname \tryingfontfalse \fi <inserted text> ...yle \fontalternative \fontsize \fi \iftryingfont \fontstr... \synchronizefont ...strategy \the \fontstrategies \relax \fi \iftryingfont \... <argument> \getvalue {\@style@ \fontstyle } \edef \fontstyle {\fontstyle }\if... ... l.7 \setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,12pt] ---------------------------------- Palatino is installed!
