replacing words by underlines
by Alan Stone 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi, In the underneath example, how do you get each word replaced by an underline ? Or, if not possible, underlined word groups with correct underline breaks for multi-line phrases. \def\UnderlineA#1% {\underbars{#1}} \def\UnderlineB#1% {\underbars{\phantom{#1}}} %{\underbar{\phantom{#1}}} \definetextbackground[underline][% location=text, alternative=1, background=, frame=off] \def\UnderlineC{% \groupedcommand {\starttextbackground[underline]} {\stoptextbackground}} \starttext Thus, I came to \UnderlineA{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineA{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. Thus, I came to \UnderlineB{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineB{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. Thus, I came to \UnderlineC{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineC{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. \stoptext Thanks, Alan

Font and Typescript Questions
by curiouslearn 04 May '09

04 May '09

Can someone please help me with the following questions so that I can use some of the typescripts that Wolfgang and some others have so kindly made available. I will use font Bera as an example, since I would like to use it. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.6 (1) How do I know if I have font Bera? As in, where on my computer do I look to see if I have font Bera installed? (2) If I do not have the font, how do I install Bera? I see that there are files on ctan. Where should I save this? (3) Once I have installed the font and I have downloaded Wolfgang's type-bera.tex file, where do I save this file? Can I save it where I save the third-party modules. Once I save it, do I run the usual texhash, followed by luatools --generate followed by context --make (4) Once I have accomplished the top three steps, how do I use it in a document? Do I just type \usetypescript[bera] \switchtobodyfont[bera,12pt] OR, do I also have to type \usemodule[type-bera] I would really appreciate any help.

ConTexT minimals problem
by Bowen Alan C. 01 May '09

01 May '09

The latest beta (Minimals) fails to compile and complains: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (Web2C 7.5.7) \write18 enabled. (/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/web2c/natural.tcx) I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'! and context --version gets MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Alan

Stable version
by Mohamed Bana 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Hi guys, How can i get a somewhat recent and stable version where things just work. I've tried --stable and --context=stable which both insist of getting luatex 0.40. mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force --engine=all --context=stable --stable --texroot=$PWD/tex --extras="t-letter,t-mathsets,t-tikz,t-vim" $@ There's a lot of things broken in the current minimals, e.g., bib module, hanging, a error about front and I can't to even seem to use OT fonts. I think context should complain when a CLI options hasn't been spelt correctly: $ context --batchmoed Many thanks Mohamed
