Height of square root
by Tomas Kisela 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi everybody, There's my issue: If I switch a size of body font, the height of square root doesn't adapt well for letters exceeding a baseline (in my example "y"). Here is my code: \starttext \startformula \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \sqrt{x^2+a^2} \stopformula \switchtobodyfont[17pt] \startformula \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \sqrt{x^2+a^2} \stopformula \switchtobodyfont[23pt] \startformula \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \sqrt{x^2+a^2} \stopformula \stoptext If I compile it on http://live.contextgarden.net/, everything looks fine, but on my ConTeXt (2009.04.17 19:32 MKIV on Win Vista) I get the result in attachment. Do you have any ideas what's the problem and how can I fix it? Thanks, Tomas

Numerals in mkiv
by Otared Kavian 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi Hans, It seems that Arabic or Persian numerals (for instance in section numbers) in mkiv begin at 0, instead of 1… well it is true that in Mathematics natural integers begin with 0, but not in books in those languages :-) Here is a minimal example: \setupdirections[bidi=global] \pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT \pardir TRT \textdir TRT \starttypescript[serif][arabic] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:SimpleNaskhi] [features=arabic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [arabic] \definetypeface [arabic][rm] [serif] [arabic] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[arabic] \setupbodyfont[arabic,12pt] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % heading numbers: \setuphead[section][conversion=persiannumerals] %,numberstyle={arabic}] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \dorecurse{5}{% \section{بخش}\par آزمایش } \stoptext Pardon me if I have been missing something already explained elsewhere. Best regards: OK

Unable to generate fonts
by Patrick Walton 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi, I've been running into trouble in both the alpha and beta versions of Mark IV when trying to work with the fonts script: $ mtxrun --script fonts --list MTXrun | font table: accessing the data table failed MTXrun | font table: accessing the data table failed ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-syn.lua:333: attempt to index field 'data' (a nil value) Also, using the "reload" option does nothing (it prints a blank line and immediately exits). Without the fonts script I can't install or use any custom fonts. It's a fresh installation. I tried deleting the ConTeXt installation and reinstalling both the alpha and beta versions with the first-setup.sh script. Thanks in advance for any help. Patrick

I can't find a problem with Adobes fonts but your line distance of 2.3ex is to small, I think something between 3 and 4ex is sufficient. You can test it with a very big distance: \setupbodyfontenvironment[myfont][12pt] [interlinespace=6ex] Regards, Wolfgang

Page background color. Does not cover the entire page.
by Curiouslearn 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Hi, I created the attached PDF file using ConTeXt. As you can see I have a green background, which covers the whole page. However, when I took it to the printer today and he printed two copies for me, there was some white space left at four ends. The amount of space above, below, to the left and to the right was different. Here is my preamble. Can you suggest what I can do so that the whole page has the chosen green background color. Thanks very much. \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[backspace=1.5in,width=6in,margin=1in,topspace=0.25in,header=0.75in,height=11in] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \usetypescriptfile[type-dejavu] \usetypescript[dejavu] \switchtobodyfont[dejavu,12pt] \setupheadertexts[\it \hskip -0.75in Institute][\it Department ] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=green*:2] \setupframed[background=color, backgroundcolor=cornsilk, frameoffset=2pt, backgroundoffset=2pt, corner=round, align=middle] \usemodule[tikz]

Natural tables with \placetable
by Design Department 18 Apr '09

18 Apr '09

Can anyone tell me why this table example is placed on the left margin on the first page and the right margin on subsequent pages? My intention is to place against the right margin on all pages. \starttext \placetable[right, 4*line, split] {none} {\bTABLE[split=repeat,option=stretch, textwidth=3in] \bTABLEhead[rulethickness=1pt] \bTR \bTH[align={middle}] head \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{6}{ \bTR \bTD {\input knuth \par} \eTD \eTR } \eTABLEbody \bTABLEfoot \bTR \bTH footer \eTH \eTR \eTABLEfoot \eTABLE} \stoptext -- david

\setuparranging in mkiv
by Otared Kavian 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi Hans, Your yesterday's beta impressed me once more with the speed at which you fix the reported bugs… Thanks so much! Today I noticed something wrong with \setuparranging in mkiv, which may be due to the fact that the pagenumbering mechanisms have changed and I don't know yet the new structures: if this is the case please disregard this "bug" report. Here is a minimal example: \setuppapersize [A7][A4] \setuparranging [2*2*4,doublesided] \setuplayout [location=middle,marking=on] \setupheadertexts[Arranging pages] \starttext \startbuffer[TestPage] \strut \blank \midaligned{Is this a bug in mkiv?} \vfill \midaligned{This is page \recurselevel} \vfill \stopbuffer \showframe \dorecurse{16}{\getbuffer[TestPage]\page} \stoptext Using mkiv (ConTeXt ver: 2009.04.16 22:27 MKIV fmt: 2009.4.17 int: english/english) I get an error message: ! Undefined control sequence. \setuparranging ...gpages \abortutilitygeneration \fi \fi l.4 \setuparranging [2*2*4,doublesided] The above example works fine with mkii and the latest ConTeXt. Best regards: OK
