Two newbie questions about Texfont
by Harrie Frericks 18 Jul '09

18 Jul '09

Now that I finally have Context running I'm trying to install a number of type1 fonts. I've read the Texfont manual, but I couldn't find answers to these questions: 1. Can Texfont recursively process a font tree? I have a directory font tree like this: c:\fonts\type1\font-family1 c:\fonts\type1\font-family2 c:\fonts\type1\font-family3 each font-family subdirectory has a number of .afm files. If I set --sourcepath to c:\fonts\type1 can Texfont recurse all the subdirectories of the font families and locate and process the .afm files? 2. Can Texfont handle .afm files with extensions in uppercase? Most of my type1 font files are in uppercase like: XYZ_____.AFM I can only get Texfont to process these files if I first rename them to lowercase, like XYZ_____.AFM Thanks, Harrie.

off topic: math symbols for latex
by Patrick Gundlach 18 Jul '09

Hi, this is a nice website where you can draw a symbol with your mouse and the site will tell you how you get the symbol in LaTeX. Again, LaTeX tries to be one step ahead... :) http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html (found on the Mac OS X TeX mailing list) Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

sections in mkiv
by Mojca Miklavec 18 Jul '09

18 Jul '09

Hello, out of curiosity I have tried the latest current. Is the command \setupheadnumber[section][6] now invalid on purpose or is there a simple way to fix it? One more problem: \setuphead[section][textstyle=\ss\bfc] % combined with numbercommand= \setuphead[subsection][style=\ss\bfb] \starttext \section{abcdef} \subsection{abcdef} \stoptext Subsection gets typeset with \bfc while in mkii it uses \bfb.

Math symbols issue with context minimals distribution and
by Andrei Dragomir 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

I am using context minimals, with the simpleslides module to make a presentation. I noticed that when typesetting math formulas, I get missing characters. I finally tracked it down to an issue (stupidity from me?) with the "context" executable. I made a new file, with some example math markup, posted below ---------- \starttext And this is some maths with PostScript fonts. \startformula {a \over b} = {c \over d} \iff ad - bc = 0, \qquad \int_0^{2\pi}\!\!\! \sin^2(x)dx =\pi, \qquad {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0, \qquad \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}{1 \over k^2} = {\pi^2 \over 6}. \stopformula Some ligatures: ffi, ffl. \stoptext ----------- When running "context test_math.tex", in the output file I don't see the "\iff" symbol. When running "texexec test_math.tex", everything is working fine. Any help would be appreciated, and sorry if this is a stupid question. Thank you, Andrei Dragomir

alpha: mplib broken?

Hi, I just finished a first draft version of my adapted mp specials. Sadly no test run is possible, as mplib is broken here. I also tested with the untouched distribution, but every MP graphic (example attached) produces this error message: ----- This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.42.0-2009071600 (Web2C 2009) \write18 enabled.

empty page - how?
by Ciro Soto 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

Hi All, I want each chapter to start on an odd number page, and the preceding page to be totally empty (no header, no footer). Before the \chapter command, I tried: \page[odd,blank] ... didn't work. I get the header and footer \page[odd,empty] ... didn't work. I get an extra page (empty) \page[odd,makeup] ... didn't work. I get the same as in the first case what is the combination I need to use? thank you Ciro -- Links of your interest: http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~cirosoto/ http://www.TheGuitarMakerExploration.com http://www.myspace.com/sotoaguirre

Hello, I have problem getting index number of referenced article in my text. I got only square brackets without any number. I use recent minimals: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.6-2009062513 (Web2C 2009) ConTeXt ver: 2009.06.14 21:01 MKIV fmt: 2009.7.15 int: english/english I tried also new module from t-bib-2009.06.08.zip with the same result.
