Dear gang, All interested in this matter shold read the first three links on http://www.yudit.org/bidi/ We should not slavishly imitate the bidi algorithm; we need a tailor-made model.

fix of Kurier typefaces
by Vit Zyka 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, there is a miscorrespondence between names of Kurier fonts (in type-one.tex and type-syn.tex) - missing 'Regular' or '-'. I propose to fix type-syn.tex as follows.

How to make caption for nature table?
by Zhaopeng Xing 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, I have a multi-page nature table and tried to give a caption by \placetable[here][tab:sample]{sample table}{ A nature table here } But it will run wrong. It seems multipage stuff can not be float. Is there any suggestion? Thanks. -- Zhaopeng XING Tinbergen Institute

Now that I'm looking at it again at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Charter: > This has resulted in derivatives of Bitstream Charter becoming available, including Charis SIL. What about adding http://scripts.sil.org/CharisSILfont to the distribution, possibly including TeX Live, and replacing the definitions to use CharisSIL in XeTeX/LuaTeX instead of Bitstream Charter? The same move that has happened with TeX Gyre? Any comments? Suggestions? Mojca

Hi, it seems like a few areas of the garden are somewhat unresponsive. These include texshow source browser modules articles and perhaps others, too. Any idea what's going on? Oliver

typesetting Arabic today
by Burak Emir 08 Jun '08

08 Jun '08

Hi, First of all, I'd wish to express my thanks to the makers of and contributors to ConTeXt - it is quite a pleasure to use so far. Now for my concern: I want to typeset Arabic. What would I use? I am aware of ArabTex, I haven't yet tried Omega... however, I followed some presentations for LuaTeX and typesetting Arabic was mentioned there as motivation. This is how I got to ConTeXt in the first place. Trying the documentation, I ended up on the following page which says "TODO" http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_and_Hebrew I also searched mail archives, but the mails I found on this subject were from 2003, so I thought it is worth probing for an update. Any news or hints appreciated. Thanks, Burak -- Burak Emir -- http://burak.emir.googlepages.com

Shukran : ) Can one tell "luatools --generate" to see which path it picks up from OSFONTSDIR? There are some nice arabic fonts that come with Mac systems (or maybe, they came with the KeyNote or Pages, I don't know) Burak -- Burak Emir -- http://burak.emir.googlepages.com

That's because of ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman] [name:CharterBT-Roman] % or: [bchr8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Italic] [name:CharterBT-Italic] % or: [bchri8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Bold] [name:CharterBT-Bold] % or: [bchb8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-BoldItalic] [name:CharterBT-BoldItalic] % or: [bchbi8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Slanted] [name:CharterBT-Italic] % or: [bchri8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-BoldSlanted] [name:CharterBT-BoldItalic] % or: [bchbi8a] ./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex: \definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman-Caps] [name:CharterBT-SmallCap] % or: [bchrc8a] The fonts are on http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/charter/ and I can add them, but there is still one problem. Since fonts are defined this way, you would need to configure fc-config to look for fonts in that directory in order to find the font. Or one would need to change the definition. Hans - what would be the implications for LuaTeX if name:CharterBT-Roman was changed into file:bchr8a ?

The files are under http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-fnt.zip Many of the files included there are obsolete now, that's why I didn't include them at the first place. But this one is not. Quick fix: unzip those files into texmf-local for example (or texmf, but you need to be careful not to use the --delete switch then). Proper fix - Hans, Taco, should I filter the useful files out of that zip and add them to the minimals? Which ones? Mojca
