Tables query (MKII, latest beta)
by Bowen Alan C. 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

I have a simple, multi-page table that is currently defined by \setuptables[bodyfont=9pt] \starttables[|l|p(15pc)|] The problem is that the text in the cells on the right that have more than one line is set almost solid and is often too close to the next row. So how can I adjust/control the vertical spacing both between and within rows? \setuptables[bodyfont=9pt,\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]] gets: ! Missing \endcsname inserted. <to be read again> \def \doifnextoptionalelse #1#2->\def \nextoptionalcommandyes {#1}\def \nextoptio... <argument> \setupinterlinespace [line \dosetvalue #1#2->\@EA \def \csname #1#2 \endcsname \p!doassign ...r \else \@EAEAEA #1\fi \fi {#2}{#3} {#4} \xprocesscommaitem ...@relax@ #1==\empty \@relax@ \@EAEAEA \xprocesscommaite... ... l.397 ...font=9pt,\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex] ] I apologize if this is a FAQ: my review of the wiki and of core- tab.tex has been most instructive, but not on this issue.

Font size in MKII vs. MKIV
by curiouslearn 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Hello, If I compile the following code with MKII, the font size I get for the chapter title is smaller than that I get with MKIV? \starttext \chapter{This is bigger in MKIV than in MKII} The regular text is the same size. \stoptext Was this a deliberate change made from MKII to MKIV?

typescript repository

Hi all, what do think about a page with typescript files for good quality free fonts, we have a few typescripts on the wiki but you have to copy them first in your document or in a file before you can use them. Wolfgang

math symbols missing?
by Jesse Alama 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

I just tried recompiling an old document with the latest minimals (mkiv) and found that some of my old math commands don't seem to work: \ulcorner \urcorner \cap Probably there are others, too. (Also, \showmathcharacters seems to be undefined.) Any idea what might be going on? Thanks, Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama(a)stanford.edu)

by luigi scarso 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

sorry for the noise : is there in mkiv a very last macro ? I mean something like \IamCallAtTheReallyEnd{..} which does absolutly nothing to the pdf , and after which mkiv ends without calls any other macro. TIA -- luigi

Problem creating a typescript for Adobe Avenir
by Markus Hubig 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Hi all! I'm new into context an I'm trying to write a user-manual for my company. For some strange reasons I have to use a font names Adobe Avenir. I managed to install the TTF-Files with texfont but now I'm lost in the creation of a typescript. Maybe there is someone who can give me a little help! My map file looks like this (texnansi-adobe-avenir.map): texnansi-AVENI17 Avenir-Heavy 4 < AVENI17.ttf texnansi.enc texnansi-AVENI18 Avenir-HeavyOblique 4 < AVENI18.ttf texnansi.enc texnansi-AVENI23 Avenir-Oblique 4 < AVENI23.ttf texnansi.enc texnansi-AVENI24 Avenir-Roman 4 < AVENI24.ttf texnansi.enc And my typescript looks like this (type-adobe-avenir.tex): \starttypescript [map] [avenir] [textansi] \loadmapfile [texnansi-adobe-avenir.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [avenir] [texnansi] \definefontsynonym [Avenir-Heavy] [texnansi-AVENI17] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [Avenir-HeavyOblique] [texnansi-AVENI18] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [Avenir-Oblique] [texnansi-AVENI23] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [Avenir-Roman] [texnansi-AVENI24] [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [avenir] [name] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [Avenir-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [Avenir-Oblique] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [Avenir-Heavy] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [Avenir-HeavyOblique] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Avenir] \definetypeface [Avenir] [rm] [sans] [avenir] [default] \stoptypescript When I try to use my typescript in my environment file like this: \usetypescriptfile[type-adobe-avenir] \usetypescript[Avenir] \setupbodyfont[Avenir,10pt] ... simply nothing happens ... I get the same font as before. Arrgh! In the logging messages of texexec I see a message that my typescript-file is loaded! Hopefully someone can give my a hand, Markus -- -------------------"it's like this"------ even samurai have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk
