Bug in mark to ligature handling
by Khaled Hosny 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Marks don't get positioned correctly unless all marks are supplied, if one mark is omitted, the next mark will be positioned at the first anchor point, not in the second one etc, in some cases it'll even not positioned on the anchor point at all. In the attached sample, the first word in the line is correct, subsequent ones aren't. (The font used: http://raqm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fonts/simplenaskhi/SimpleNaskhi.ttf) Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

label, caption and eps in figures?
by Pau 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hello, I am struggling to get something equivalent to this in ConTeXt: --------------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{figure} \resizebox{\hsize}{!}{\includegraphics[scale=1,bb=0 0 0 0,clip] {MyFigure.eps}} \caption{My Caption \label{fig.mylabel} } \end{figure} --------------------------------------------------------------------- I am especially having difficulties with caption (I would need a bold "Fig. 1" on it) and with the label. \ref{fig.mylabel} is not recognised (see below). Also, texexec seems to not understand the eps format The closest I have got is this: --------------------------------------------------------------------- \placeexternalfigure{\externalfigure[MyFigure][label=fig.mylabel,factor=broad,method=eps] \addlegendentry{My Caption} } --------------------------------------------------------------------- Any help will be appreciated a lot Pau

Is there any "leftoffset" and "rightoffset" possibilities for \framed (in natural tables) ?
by B. Tommy Jensen 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

I have the following challenge: I am using natural Tables (e.g. \bTABLE) and want to have a larger left/right offset than the top/bottom offset for the table cells. The "offset" parameter (which I believe is from the \framed command) works fine, but assigns equal offset to all sides of the table cell. Does anybody have a tip/solution on how to get individual left/right/top/bottom offsets? Regards, B. Tommy Jensen

possible problem with setuptex
by Hans van der Meer 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

When loading minimals with a shell script it appears that setuptex takes arguments from the calling shell script: script called as "script --current" contains: ... source ./setuptex ... This result in the following error message: mktexlsr: Done. The argument "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex/--current" is not a valid TEXROOT path. There is no file "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex/--current/texmf/ tex/plain/base/plain.tex" Setting "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex" as TEXROOT instead. I guess this cannot be the intent of setuptex. It was the intention to just use /Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex/ as the TEXROOT path. Is there a simple solution? Hans van der Meer

Problem with amsmath, etc.
by Rene Richard van Hassel 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Hello members, there is some problem. After I changed to Ubuntu version 9.04, ConTeXt is not working anymore as I expected. I'm using the following modules: ### Begin: ### % always used in pdflatex \usemodule[latexsym,amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts,graphics,epsfig,makeidx,subfigure] \usemodule[tikz] % module for flowchart \usemodule[chart] % use of bib module \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=OLNbib] %\setuppublications[numbering=yes, sorttype=bbl,criterium=all] \setuppublications[numbering=yes, sorttype=bbl] \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[amsl] %\usemodule[nath] % not use this module! amsl doesn't work anymore. %\definebodyfont[ams] % Figures and more % USED IN example pgfmanual \usemodule[xxcolor] \usemodule[pifont] \usemodule[latin1][inputenc] \usemodule[version=latest][pgf] ### End. ### But after the new installation ConTeXt cannot find the modules amsmath and latexsym and more of these modules, you can read on the first line. What to do?? (newmat is not an option!!) What I have to change such that ConTeXt find these packages, de style-files of amsmath, etc., greetings, Rene'

minimals and TeXShop
by Hans van der Meer 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

The directives in the ContextGarden for working with the minimals in TeXShop are not working for me on MacOSX. I installed the minimals in ~/TeX/context/beta and then set the TeXShop engine script to: export TEXROOT="~/TeX/context/beta/tex" export PATH=$TEXROOT/texmf-osx-ppc/bin:$PATH export TEXMFCACHE="$TEXROOT/texmf-cache" context "$1" This corresponds to the recipe step 3 of "TeXShop installation and configuration". The result in TeXShop's console window is disappointing: MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Prefixing to the engine script with the recommended: ~/TeX/context/beta/tex/setuptex does not help. In fact $TEXROOT appears not to have been set, witnessed by the following output: Setting "/Users/hans/TeX/context/beta/tex" as TEXROOT. TEXROOT after ~/TeX/context/beta/tex/setuptex = MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' What now? Hans van der Meer

resetting localfootnote counter query
by Bowen Alan C. 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I currently have a document in which there are numerous tables each with local footnotes marked by alphabetic characters. When I process the file, I get complaints like: pdfTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier (name{a}) has been already used, duplicate ignored <to be read again> \egroup \thisisdestination ... \dostartthisislocation {#1} \dostopthisislocation \fi ... \dodowritereference ...nceprefix \lastreference }} \referenceinfo > \lastrefer... \rawprocesscommaitem ...commalevel \endcsname {#1} \expandafter \rawprocessco... \rawprocesscommalist ... \rawprocesscommaitem #1,] ,\global \advance \commale... \writereference ...[\!!stringa ]\dowritereference \fi \fi ... l.354 \footnotetext[a] {See \goto{Pingree 1977}[Pingree1977].} Is there a way to reset the localfootnote counter so that ConTeXt is happy and the footnotes marked by arabic numerals are undisturbed. Something like \resetnumber[localfootnotes] perhaps, though this does not work. Alan

minimals missing etex?
by Hans van der Meer 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

After loading context stable minimals with the following script: #!/bin/bash curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh mkdir tex ln -s $HOME/Library/texmf tex/texmf-local sh ./first-setup.sh --context=current >first-setup.log source ./tex/setuptex I get this message on ETEX in the call to first-setup.sh. ...hans/TeX/context/stable/tex/texmf-osx-ppc/bin/mtxrun:8707: attempt to concate nate a nil value (/Users/hans/TeX/context/stable/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/ cont-en.tex ( /Users/hans/TeX/context/stable/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/ context.tex SORRY CONTEXT NOW NEEDS ETEX ) ) Is there something wrong here?
