Stable broken, beta works

Thank you, Patrick, for bringing the garden (back) to live! Thank you, Mojca et.al., who fixed the latest LuaTeX issues! But I'm still not happy... With --context=current I get lots of warnings: Warning: support for multiple lua states has been dropped. Please stop using a number after \directlua and \latelua. Warning: The 'fontforge' table has been renamed to 'fontloader'. Please update your source file(s) accordingly. And, worse, OTF handling seems broken: load otf | saving: in cache !

Your attached files were a bit too large for the mailing list, so I blocked your message. Something like this will do the trick. \define[1]\myNumber{\hbox to 20pt{\hfill \high{#1}}} \setuppublications[numbercommand=\myNumber] Best wishes, Taco

synonym sorting used to work, but now doesn't
by Michael Bynum 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

I started using the newest version of texlive and now, the behavior for my synonym lists has changed. With the command \synonym[.1.]{.2.}{.3.}, I thought that the sorting used to be based on [.1.] but now it seems that the sorting is based on {.2.}. This is undesireable, because I cannot seperate my alphabetic synonyms from my greek synonyms. Here is a sample of what is happening. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature][criterium=all,width=0.85in] \placelistofnomenclatures \nomenclature[a]{ztest}{This should be first} \nomenclature[b]{ytest}{This should be second} \nomenclature[c]{xtest}{This should be third} \stoptext Mike

Symbol interferes with floating picture
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hello, I defined a command producing itemization symbol: \def\dash{\symbol[dash]\hskip0.25em} When I insert floating picture, lines starting with dash symbols 'ignore' the floating mode and are placed over the picture. I use latest beta, mkiv. \placefigure [left]{none}{\externalfigure[yanov-2][width=0.5\textwidth]} Функції: \dash автоматична обробка і настроювання "картинки"; \dash електронний візир для вимірювання координат метеооб’єктів і орієнтирів; \dash виявлення турбулентних зон; \dash компенсація ослаблення радіохвиль; \dash відображення і аналіз вертикального профілю метеооб’єктів; \dash виявлення зустрічних літаків; \dash навігаційний огляд земної поверхні; \dash вертикальне сканування. Best, Vyatcheslav

texlua fails on OSX-PPC
by Henning Hraban Ramm 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi ho, my formats were outdated, so I tried to update my "minimals" installation - got only an error. So I deleted the whole texmf tree and installed from scratch: neither --context=beta nor --context=current works (I deleted the --context=beta switch from first-setup.sh); looks like an error in the texlua binary for OSX-PPC: /usr/local/ConTeXt user$ ./first-setup.sh receiving file list ... done bin/ bin/mtx-update.lua bin/mtxrun bin/texlua sent 109 bytes received 7636548 bytes 311700.29 bytes/sec total size is 7635348 speedup is 1.00 dyld: Symbol not found: _close$UNIX2003 Referenced from: /usr/local/ConTeXt/bin/texlua Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib ./first-setup.sh: line 67: 835 Trace/BPT trap mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force --engine=all --tree=$PWD/tex $@ What can I do? Did I overlook some upgrade instructions? Greetlilngs, Hraban

Update error
by Fengnan 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Hi all, I believe I encountered the same problem I reported a few days ago. This time during my update process, it pops up a error box which says "unable to locate kpathsea357-dev.dll, so the program cannot be started" (here the program is texlua.exe while it was pdftex.exe last time). Fengnan Gao

Hello, How to get rid of break after section head? I need to glue it with author's information (italic). \definehead[exhibitname][subsection] \setuphead [exhibitname][ incrementnumber=list, number=no, align=middle, style=\bf] \def\exhibit#1#2% { {\exhibitname{#1}} %\blank {\rightaligned{\it#2}} \blank[line]}

Re: [NTG-context] Itemize symbol
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

I need a symbol that produces a dash like found in itemizations. Standard '--' gives slightly different, light dash. From the Acrobat, I know that the font is txsy. In the page you specified, there is a trick how to produce diamond (\diamond). But there is no \dash symbol defined. > You want to read chapter 10.6 of the ConTeXt manual; your question is > answered on the second page of that chapter. > > Thomas >
