\overrightarrow not working in mathmode in Metapost?
by Matthijs Kooijman 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, I've been trying to use the \overrightarrow command within a metapost graphic, but it doesn't work. Math mode does work, for example \vec works like expected. Outside of metapost, \overrightarrow works as expected. To illustrate the problem, I've created the following simple testcase: \starttext \startMPcode draw btex $\vec{foo}$ etex; draw btex $\overrightarrow{foo}$ etex; \stopMPcode \stoptext This gives the following error output: ! Undefined control sequence. \dodosmash [#1]->\edef \@@smash {#1}\futurelet \nexttoken \dododosmash \relbar ->\mathrel {\smash -} \mtharrowfill ...inmuskip \thickmuskip \relax #8#5 \mkern -#1mu \cleaders \hb... \dodohandlemathoverarrow ...{\ialign {##\crcr #2#3 \crcr \noalign {\kern #1\n... \mathpalette ...>\mathchoice {#1\displaystyle {#2} }{#1\textstyle {#2}}{#1\sc... <argument> ...ex; draw btex $\overrightarrow {foo} $ etex; ... l.5 \stopMPcode It seems the \overrightarrow command uses \@@smash, which isn't defined when running from metapost? Is this expected? Is this a bug? Gr. Matthijs

Is there any Mac Tiger volunteer willing to test if binaries compiled on Snow Leopard work on Tiger? (No binaries are in minimals yet; I need some volunteer to test first.) (In case there is no volunteer, we'll target the binaries for Leopard.) Mojca

Hi, does someone has a solution for setting dashed and dotted lines in TABLE? Steffen (who doesn't do metafun coding)

Hi Mojca, > I wasn't asking about testing Windows binaries I know, I'm was joking :) > though it could be that the binary in minimals is already at 0.44 (if not yet, then it > will be very soon or I can force an update; the w32tex page is already > updated). > The binary in minimals is NOT already at 0.44 (as I checked today). Looking forward to have 0.44 version because I want to try synctex support. Regards, Vyatcheslav

No, I just wanted to know if the binary works at all. I wanted to send you the binary off-list first, but here it is instead: http://dl.contextgarden.net/misc/luatex once you download it you need to execute chmod +x luatex ./luatex All I want to know is if it works on Tiger, no extensive testing is needed.

Math symbols "rigt floor" and "left floor"
by Thomas A. Schmitz 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi all, quick question: does anyone know of a free font that contains the symbols "left floor" (uni230A) and "right floor" (uni120B)? I have a commercial font that does have them, but I need a portable and free version for the next release of my Greek module. Thanks, and all best Thomas
