\language[de] ?
by Goebel, Juergen 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi, Doing my first steps with ConTeXt (after about ten years experience with LaTeX) I was running into the following problem. Running the enclosed example I got still the english version (as can be seen in the 'Contents'-title of the TOC). % language=de tex=pdfetex output=pdftex \language[de] \starttext \completecontent Test äöü \stoptext I'm using ConTeXt version 2003.9.25 (fmt 2004.8.31) - rather old, I know, but I don't believe that this might be the source of my problem since the manual is older ... Regards, Jürgen

Greek letters in math with XeTeX
by Flavien Lambert 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

(Sorry for the preceding message, I forgot the [NTG-context] for filters...) Dear all, I try to use Open Type fonts with ConTeXt and XeTeX (I recently did the same with LaTeX using fontspec and mathspec packages). From the web site, I managed to use them for standard text as well as roman alphabet in math. Unfortunately, greek letters stay printed with the Latin Modern font. >From examples of the web site, I tried the following lines but without success. In a preceding post, there was a similar question but with the luatex engine. Thanks for your help ! \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][GFS Didot] \definetypeface[myface][mm][math][GFS Didot] \starttext Normal text. \startformula \alpha + \beta = 10 \stopformula \stoptext -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way."

Lucida again
by Eric DÉTREZ 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hello I know that I disturb a lot this list, please forgive me. I tried to install a new mac. I donwloaded mactex (2008) I installed lucida fons in ~/Library/texmf/ then I typed "sudo mktexlsr" and "sudo updmap-sys --enable Map lucida.map" in terminal All is fine with plain TeX, I can use my lucida fonts. I copied all my afm and pfb files in a directory then I typed "texfont --fontroot=/Users/Ericd/library/texmf --ve=bh -- co=lucida --ma --in --expert" from this directory in terminal. (don't understand the --ma --in -- expert things) It made a lot of job, map files, tfm files. The texnansi-bh-lucida test file seems to work (it's a long task, I only asked to shox LucidaBright). BUT \usetypescript[lucida][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[lucida,10pt] doesn' show me Lucida in my pdf. What did I do wrong ?

ConTeXt and TeXlive 2008
by Marcin Borkowski 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi all, I've just downloaded and installed the long-expected TeXlive 2008:). My question is: is it's ConTeXt up-to-date? What about ConTeXt upgrades? (TeXlive 2008 can upgrade it's packages automatically; does anyone know how long will it take for new ConTeXt versions to propagate to TeXlive?) It would be much more convenient not to have two distinct TeX installations: one for LaTeX and one for ConTeXt... Thanks in advance -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.faculty.fmcs.amu.edu.pl) Jesus is alive. What about you?
