by Yue Wang 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi, When I use XeTeX, font searching through texmf- tree is very slow. search font through fontconfig is very fast. plain TeX or LaTeX does not have that problem. why is that? anyway to improve it? Yue Wang

Textbackground bug [repost]
by Diego Depaoli 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

[I got no answers to my previous post] With page imposition, in luatex, background overrides text \setuppapersize[A4][A3,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] % <--bug here \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[intro] [backgroundcolor=gray, backgroundoffset=.25cm, offset=.5cm, frame=off, location=paragraph, color=white] \definetextbackground[subintro] [backgroundcolor=texcolorfour, backgroundoffset=0pt, offset=0pt, frame=off, location=text, color=blue] \starttext \starttextbackground[intro] A rather common way to draw attention to a passage, is to add a background. In this chapter we will therefore discuss how to enhance your document with \starttextbackground [subintro] colorful areas that either or not follow the shape of your paragraph. \stoptextbackground\ Be warned: this chapter has so many backgrounds that you should consider wearing sunglasses. \stoptextbackground \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte} \stoptext Regards -- Diego Depaoli

Officina Sans?
by Yue Wang 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Hi, Hans: in order to use officina, I should type something like \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \definetypeface[officina][rm][serif][officina][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[officina][ss][sans] [officina][default][encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[officina,rm,10pt] can you change type-buy like lucida so that only these three lines are needed. \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \usetypescript[officina][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[officina,rm,10pt] Thank you Yue Wang

third party module "lettrine"
by Jörg Hagmann 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Hi, I need the lettrine module (used to have it, not any more). I tried installation according to the wiki: . first-setup --extras="t-lettrine" It did something but it doesn't work. (\lettrine not recognised) I find t-lettrine.tex in tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/lettrine/t-tettrine.tex I also tried all kinds of mktexlsr, texexec --make --all (using Mk II). Thanks for your help, Jörg

Metapost graph : format of numbers
by Stéphane Goujet 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Hello I would like to know whether it is possible or not to force MP graph to display big numbers in labels (of y axis) in a normal format (for example 50000) and not in scientifical format (for example 5x10^4). I could not manage to do it. It would be even better if the solution worked with log scale as well. If it is not possible with MP graph, I ask the same question for pgfplots. If it is not possible either, would anybody have another idea ? Thanks and goodbye, Stéphane.
