problem scaling big png images
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hello, I have problems with scaling of big png images. Scaling works ok with XeTeX, but fails with both pdfTeX and LuaTeX, so it might be a problem in the engine, not necessary in ConTeXt. The image comes out with several cm white border when it should occupy the whole page. Here are the testing files (temporary location): http://www.mars2008.si/context/ \defineoverlay [MyGraphic] [{\externalfigure[graphic][heigh=\paperheight]}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=MyGraphic] \starttext whatever \stoptext + a big png graphic. When I decrease resolution, the white border around graphic shrinks. Mojca pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.9-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.7) This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.30.2-2008102016, build unknown MtxRun | current version: 2008.11.10 21:40 (same problem on TL)

\definecharacter
by Thomas A. Schmitz 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi all, is the command \definecharacter deprecated in mkiv? Some of my environments stopped working. Minimal example: %\definecharacter mytest \char"00F8 \define\mytest{\getglyph{name:lmroman10book}{\char"00F8}} \starttext Hello w\mytest rld! \stoptext I expected lines 1 and 2 to work, but line 1 gives an error ("Undefined control sequence"). So: is this command no longer available in mkiv? All best Thomas

How to ged rid of temporary files, forever?
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi, I have a folder where I store my tex sources and generated pdfs. The problem is that now it is overflooded with temporary files (top, tuo,log,...). I remember Hans wrote somewhere that LuaTeX will hold temporary files in memory... But they are still there, on the disk. Yes, I know the --purge-all option, but it is too long to write "context filename --purge-all ", isn't it? It would be very nice if we could set an option somewhere (for example, in the registry) to NOT generate temporary files, and even log files (I never use them). Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yastkovsky

\setupcapitals[sc=yes] and \setupfootnotes[n=2] problems with luatex
by Paul Schalck 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi, The following minimal examples work fine with pdftex, but give unexpected results with newer betas and luatex (tested under ConTeXt - 2008.11.10 21:40 -- luaTeX-0.30.2): % engine=luatex \setupcapitals [sc=yes] \abbreviation [OTAN] {otan} {Organisation du Traité de l'Atlantique Nord} \starttext \OTAN \stoptext % engine=luatex \setupfootnotes [n=2] \starttext Test.\footnote{Here's a footnote.} Test.\footnote{And another one.} \stoptext The second issue has been reported recently. Maybe some Dutch wizard is working on it... And, btw, thanks for your amazing type system! _______________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!

Hi, Otared, Wolfgang, Thank you for the help. In the ConTeXt Minimals, LuaTeX is working well. I'll use minimals for LuaTeX. By the way, do I need "luatools --generate" again after adding my personal files in the folder ...../contextminimals/tex/texmf-context/ user/context/? Thank you again. Best regards, Dal

mkiv and \recycleMPslotstrue
by Otared Kavian 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi all, With the minimals (ConTeXt ver: 2008.11.10 21:40 MKIV fmt: 2008.11.12 int: english/english) and mkiv, I get from time to time: (cont-sys.tex ! Undefined control sequence. l.123 \recycleMPslotstrue but, despite this, a correct PDF is produced, when I hit return in order to ignore the error. For instance this happens with the example given by Hans: \starttext \showstruts \start \tf \setstrut tf:\strut \tfa \setstrut tfa:\strut \tfb \setstrut tfb:\strut \tfc \setstrut tfc:\strut \tfd \setstrut tfd:\strut \stop \start \small \tf \setstrut tf:\strut \tfa \setstrut tfa:\strut \tfb \setstrut tfb:\strut \tfc \setstrut tfc:\strut \tfd \setstrut tfd:\strut \stop \stoptext I guess this is a dormant (conflicting?) thing from mkii… Best regards: OK

11 Nov '08

Hi, The \in[ref] command is regarded as a mathematical symbol by the latest beta. There is a simple example as follows: %%%% \starttext \chapter[test]{TEST} \in{Chapter}[test] \stoptext %%%% The output of it is attached in the mail. -- Best wishes, Li Yanrui

small problem with minimals
by Thomas A. Schmitz 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Hi all, esp. Mojca, I have encountered a small problem with the minimals: some metafun stuff that Aditya and I use in our presentation module stopped working recently (sorry, I can't tell when exactly). The error message is !luaTeX error (file lm-rmtt.enc): cannot find encoding file for reading ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! MtxRun | fatal error, code: 70 which is a bit bizarre (I thought luatex didn't use any enc files?). Anyway, the same file compiles fine with the same version of ConTeXt and luatex under texlive 2008 because there, the enc file is present: luatools lm-rmtt.enc /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/fonts/enc/dvips/lm/lm-rmtt.enc Should this file be added to the minimals or is there a different problem somewhere down the line? If absolutely necessary, I can make a minimal example, but it would take a lot of work... All best Thomas
