Fontfeatures and latin script
by Wolfgang Schuster 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi Hans, why was 'script=latn' removed from the three predefined fontfeatures default, oldstyle and smallcaps. A lot of fonts (free and commercial) need these features to enable kerning, ligatures and other features. Regards, Wolfgang

Indenting / small paper size / strange paragraph cutting
by Olivier Guéry 27 Jul '08

27 Jul '08

Hello, I got my Sony prs 505 ebook reader last week… Nice machine. I tried to set-up one of my favorite book to be read on this. Here are the specials part : — Page size : 120mm x 90 mm — margins : 3mm up/down and 2mm left/right (could be 1mm, in fact) Here are the links to the .tex and .pdf files. Here are my problems : — I can't set the space before my section number : in line 38 : \setuphead[section][style=tfc, numberstyle=bold, before={\blank[3*big]}, alternative=middle] everithing work but the « before » section — still can't have automatic indent after section. I need to force it using « \indentation » (line 47) — look at the end of the first page : there's a big gap. Don't know why. It's in the middle of a sentence, and the paragraph is big after. — at the end of the second page, third line before the end, the « dans » is in the margin. I can't hyphenate this word. I woud prefer having bigger white spaces rather than this. — on page 3, before « Une horloge » I can't have indentation after \crlf. I used a « \packed » command after empty line but it's not what I want. I want a new line, with indentation but not a « \par » vertical spacing. Sorry for this 3 pages exemple. It was hard to do less (but now you have the begining of the french translation of « Stirrings Still » from Samuel Beckett). Olivier. http://nemolivier.free.fr/Soubresauts-prs-small.pdf http://nemolivier.free.fr/Soubresauts-prs-small.tex PS : the new firmware for the sony PRS 505 allow to use .epub files. It's a realy good news : this is an open-source format ! A chance for us to avoid the mp3 mess. I hope context can be used to produce them one time. -- [Message tapé sur un clavier Bépo : http://www.clavier-dvorak.org ] http://nemolivier.blogspot.com

by Michael Hofer 27 Jul '08

Hi! Is there a possibility to use footnotes or endnotes with the citation system of the bib module? I didn't find anything about that topic in the mailing list archive, Context wiki or module documentation. Thanks. Best regards, michael.

MetaPost graphics within formulas
by Oliver Buerschaper 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

Hi there, maths can sometimes be weird and even more so the kinds of formulas one needs to typeset occasionally ;-) So here I need to typeset triangles and a variety of other polygons right in the middle of a display formula. What I've been able to come up with so far is something like this: --- \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{tetrahedral} u := 10pt; draw (0,0)--(2u,0)--(u,sqrt(3)*u)--cycle; \stopuseMPgraphic \startformula \Phi(\useMPgraphic{tetrahedral})=F_{kln}^{ijm}\,v_iv_jv_kv_l\, \delta_{j^*nk^*}\,\delta_{l^*n^*i^*}\,\Phi(\emptyset) \stopformula \stoptext --- Now if I only knew how to properly align my MetaPost figure with the rest of the formula … any ideas? Cheerio, Oliver

Another typographic crime case
by Piotr Kopszak 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hello list, Due to scarcity of decent free fonts containing cyrillic characters I was contemplating mixing two different fonts of which "font a" would be used only for latin letters and "font b" containing missing unicode characters would be used only for the ones missing in "font a". Is it feasible in Mark IV? Piotr -- -- Piotr Kopszak, Ph.D. Polish Art Gallery, National Museum in Warsaw -----------------------------> http://kopszak.mnw.art.pl/ http://okle.pl
