dot and comma in two consecutive cases
by Xan 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi, I have this: \startformula z_k = \startcases \NC x_k \MC 1 \leq k \leq N \NR \NC y_{k-N} \MC N+1 \leq k < N+M \NR \stopcases t_k = \startcases \NC r_k \MC 1 \leq k \leq N \NR \NC s_{k-N} \MC N+1 \leq k < N+M \NR \stopcases \stopformula but I want to punctuate that. When I do: \startformula z_k = \startcases \NC x_k \MC 1 \leq k \leq N \NR \NC y_{k-N} \MC N+1 \leq k < N+M \NR \stopcases, t_k = \startcases \NC r_k \MC 1 \leq k \leq N \NR \NC s_{k-N} \MC N+1 \leq k < N+M \NR \stopcases. \stopformula the dot and the comma appear too much separate from cases. How can I get the "normal behaviour"? Thanks in advance, Xan.

How to make a stretched pdf file
by Zhichu Chen 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hi guys, This may sound crazy, but I have to do a presentation with a stretched output. The thing is, I have a laptop with a normal screen, and it'll be plugged to a very big wide screen monitor so that people can see the slides on the big screen. I have to look at my laptop and present for the people, so what I'm thinking is make a stretched output on my 4:3 screen which looks very narrowed and then the effect on the screen will be just as normal. Is there an easy option for this? -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Hi, the attached example shows some horizontal shift of the clipped object. Mkii works as expected. Best wishes, Peter \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \starttext \framed[offset=overlay,width=5cm,height=1cm] {\clip[width=5cm,height=1cm,voffset=0pt,hoffset=0pt] {\blackrule[width=10cm,height=1cm,color=red]}} \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] loading figure in LuaTeX
by polytope 22 May '09

22 May '09

Thank you for help. It worked if I use the absolute path in LuaTeX, but it is not working in ConTeXt and XeConTeXt. On the otherhand, the relative path is working in ConTeXt and XeConTeXt but in LuaTeX. I'll do more tests. Is it normal? Anyway, I got the result. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] French typography is back

Le 21/05/2009 18:29, Hans Hagen a écrit : > \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] > > \hsize .1mm a? aa? aaa? aaaa? > > seems ok here so what version are you using? > Ok, I've made test, I stand corrected, it does add a nnbsp, but does not remove the space (if there is) before the punctuation mark. That's why I end up with a "?" at the beginning of a new line. Thanks for the tip. Bob. ps: sorry for the bad "reply", but my subscription request has not been approved yet.

French typography is back
by Robert-André Mauchin 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hi again, I have been reading all threads about the French typography in this mailing list, however the current solution is alas far for perfect. The command \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] was a good idea, but it only deals with spacing. French typography rules not only tells us that there should be a narrow, or a normal space before some punctuation marks like :, ;, , !, ?, « or », but also that theses spaces must be non breakable otherwise line breaking could occur just before a punctuation mark (and this is very bad). Take a look at the following example: \section{Production locale indigène ou production romaine importée?} With the current frenchpunctuation command, we got: Production locale indigène ou production romaine importée ? We should obtain: Production locale indigène ou production romaine importée ? Of course we could achieve this manually by adding the correct NNBSP like this: \section{Production locale indigène ou production romaine importée\,?} But I believe the whole point of TeX is to let the engine make all the typographic stuff. The best would be to get rid off \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] and adapt the frenchb Babel module from Daniel Flipo (source and explanation here http://daniel.flipo.free.fr/frenchb/ ), as a module (t-french modification), or when loading the language, but I really don't know how hard it would be since it handles a lot more than just punctuation marks. Regards, Bob.

Condensed font variant setup
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 21 May '09

Hello, I have the following setup for the Minion Pro font: \starttypescript [serif] [MinionPro] \definefontsynonym [Serif][MinionPro-Regular.otf][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold][MinionPro-Bold.otf][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic][MinionPro-It.otf][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic][MinionPro-BoldIt.otf][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [MinionPro] \definetypeface [MinionPro][rm][serif][MinionPro][default] \stoptypescript I ocassionally want to use Minon Pro Condensed, too. How can I incorporate it in the typescript above? Or is it better to create separate MinionProCn typescript and use them both? Best, Vyatcheslav
