Thanks a lot, Taco, for your definition of my abstract. However, I'd prefer to use it like \Abstract{No more then one paragraph inside} How its definition could look like? Best, Vyatcheslav

My printer vs. Times New Roman
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hello again, Sorry for asking so many questions at a time, but i'm really intrigued. I have Samsung ML-1615 laser printer. When I print an MS Word document typesetted in Times New Roman, the printer uses internal (hardware) font resource, and hardcopy is very smooth and nice. When I print a pdf generated by ConTexT, the same font becomes rasterized and looks a bit ragged on a paper. Is there a way to instruct Acrobat and printer that I use authentic Time New Roman? (The typescript I currently use is: \starttypescript [serif] [timesnr] \definefontsynonym [TimesNRRegular][file:times][features=default] \definefontsynonym [TimesNRItalic][file:timesi][features=default] \definefontsynonym [TimesNRBold][file:timesbd][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [timesnr] \definefontsynonym [Serif][TimesNRRegular][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic][TimesNRItalic][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold][TimesNRBold][features=default] %\definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic][][features=default] %\definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted][SansBoldItalic][features=default] %\definefontsynonym [SansCaps][Sans][features=smallcaps] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted][SerifItalic][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [timesnr] \definetypeface[timesnr][rm][serif][timesnr][default] \stoptypescript ) Best regards, Vyatcheslav

Bibliography module and ibid./ebd.
by Andreas Harder 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hello again, is it possible to achieve with the t-bib-module that the second (third, … ) of two or more consecutive \cite-command with the same tag will be replaced with ebid. (ebd. in German)? I found an older posting http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20020903.072930.995836b4.en.html on this list, but in the actual manual it's mentioned nowhere … Thank you in advance Adreas

Consistent row spacing in TABLEs
by Thomas Floeren 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hello, I have a problem to get consistent row spacing in TABLEs when the whitespace in the document is set to any other than 'none'. Example: % coding: utf-8 \enableregime[utf] \setupwhitespace[medium] % \setupwhitespace[none] %% with this it works fine \setupTABLE [spaceinbetween=7pt,split=yes] \starttext \bTABLE \dorecurse{50}{\bTR \bTD table cell \eTD \bTD table cell \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE \stoptext The row spacing after the page break seems to be correct, but on the first page the vertical space is heavily reduced (as it is in one-page TABLEs). The only solution I found was to change the whitespace setting to none before each table. Is there any other workaround? Or am I doing something completely wrong?

A few minor questions
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hello, 1) I use \setupindenting[yes, big]. How to make the first paragraph (after the section title) to be indented too? 2) I made a command for abstracts (a few lines in the beginning of the paper, one paragraph only). Please, look at my definition, i'd like to know how to implement it in more elegant, ConTeXt way. \define[1]\Abstract{ \startalignment[middle] \switchtobodyfont[11pt] {\it #1} \stopalignment \blank[big]} Example usage: \Abstract{Присвячено практичному застосуванню алгоритмів параметричної ідентифікації для визначення параметрів технологічного процесу гідроструйного різання} Best regards, Vyatcheslav

beta: \vi (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hi, currently trying the latest(?) beta from 08.03.2009. No problems with colors so far... But a simple font size switch like '\vi' has no effect here. \starttext Regular size and {\vi six point}? \stoptext Also the 'lazy' \z@ has vanished (too many sideeffects?). RIP.
