Superscript text size
by morgan.brassel＠free.fr 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi, The superscript in expressions like $R^N$ seems to be typeset with a bigger font size in ConTeXt than in LaTeX. Is it the wanted behaviour? From the typographic point of view, which is the best of the two renderings? Thanks for your advice, Morgan

Indenting with ConTeXt
by morgan.brassel＠free.fr 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Hi, I'm very new to ConTeXt and I've got some (probably naive) questions about indenting. 1. According to the ConTeXt Excursion, using \setupindenting[medium] should lead to indented paragraph. And actually, at least for me, it doesn't... I saw examples on the wiki with \setupindenting[yes,medium]: this actually works, but the 'yes' option is not documented for the \setupindenting command on texshow. What am I missing here? Is the \indenting command needed even to indent the whole document? It is not what I understood from the Excursion... 2. I have not been able to indent the first paragraph after a \section (or any other titling) command. Isn't it the role of the 'first' option for \setupindenting? Is a trick needed to have it work? Thanks in advance for your answers, Morgan \setupindenting[medium,first] \starttext This paragraph is not indented. It becomes indented when I add the (undocumented?) 'yes' option to \setupindenting. \section{A section} How to get this one indented (in the whole document)? \stoptext

Bug with command \to in captions
by morgan.brassel＠free.fr 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Hi, The simple example: \starttext \placefigure[][]{$x \to 0$}{My figure} \stoptext does not compile, whether it's on my installation or on the live interface. It seems that there is a problem with using \to in captions... Or maybe I'm missing something... Morgan

(Most) stable minimal for Mac Intel
by Oliver Buerschaper 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Hi folks, after hesitating for a while I've decided to take the plunge and dive into LuaTeX finally. I'm just a bit confused about what the most stable release of LuaTeX is at the moment and where to get it ... from Pragma or the garden? There is a minimal distribution dated 2007-08-08 at Pragma but it appears slightly outdated ... shall I still get this one or is there a later version which also runs more or less smoothly? I'd be glad if someone pointed me to the "right" minimal ... by the way, my machine is an Intel Mac equipped with Leopard. Thanks for your help, Oliver

amsmath features
by Peter I. Hansen 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Hi, In context I would very much like to use the intlimits feature from amsmath. I LaTex this would be done by: \usepackage[intlimits]{amsmath} I've seached google and contextgarden but didn't find any related hint. Do any of you guys know? thanks, Peter

Using Postscript Type 1 fonts in ConTeXt/XeTeX?
by Roland 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi, I am fairly new to both ConTeXt (and XeTeX) but I've already been very impressed with the active user community and the amount of documentation available, as well as with the sheer userfriendliness of ConTeXt when compared to LaTeX. Now I'm trying to get into fonts, but activating a Postscript Type 1 font seems to go beyond my abilities and the wiki documentation on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_XeTeX . Perhaps anybody can help? I have a Postscript type 1 font family called Eco, consisting of Eco101Roman, Eco102Italic, Eco301Bold and some others. FontBook shows these names identically as PostScript name, Full Name and Family name (which means Fontbook is unaware that they are a family, but this is not the topic here). The fonts can be used with any Mac application and they also work fine in a LaTeX-fontspec-XeTeX combination: the following minimal LaTeX file produces the text as desired in Eco101Roman. 1 %!TEX TS-program = xelatex 2 %!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode 3 \documentclass[12pt]{article} 4 \usepackage{fontspec} 5 \defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase} 6 \setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Eco101Roman} 7 \setsansfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Skia} 8 \setmonofont{Courier} 9 \author{Roland} 10 \title{XeTeX test} 11 12 \begin{document} 13 \maketitle 14 \section{This is a new section} 15 Let's try to \emph{write} this. 16 17 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, 40 \end{document} On ConTeXt however, I cannot get the font to be recognised. Please see my testfile below, in which I tried to (a) compile it with a self-installed TrueType font (which works) (b) tried to select Eco101Roman directly (which produces a ** ERROR ** Invalid font) and (c) tried to select the font through a typescript (which produces a "Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found.") What am I doing wrong? How can I get these fonts to work (and make ConTeXt treat them as a proper family too?) Looking forward to your ideas!
