metapost-pdf problem
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hi all, I have had trouble with metapost lately; mptopdf seems broken. Here are two small test files: rent.mp: ........................ input metafun; numeric u; u=15mm; beginfig(1); drawarrow (0,0)..(8u,0); draw (3u,-.2u)..(3u,.5u); label.bot(btex 0 etex, (3.2u,0)); endfig; end ....................... rent.tex: ....................... \starttext \externalfigure[/home/jean/graph/rent.1] \stoptext ....................... I run metapost on the first file and (nearly) everything seems all right; rent.1 is created and I can visualize it. ThenI run in order mkiv, mkii, texexec --dvi, and mptopdf: ** mkiv output: ERROR: Leaders not followed by proper glue. --- TeX said --- <to be read again> \normalhskip \forcecolorhack ->\leaders \hrule \normalhskip \zeropoint \dohandleobject ...hss }\fi \fi }}\forcecolorhack \box \scratchbox \endgroup l.3 ...ox{\getobject{FIG}{/home/jean/graph/rent.1} } --- HELP --- No help available ** mkii output: name: dummy file: rent state: unknown ** texexec --dvi output: OK ** 07:23 jean@boldair /home/jean/graph % mptopdf rent MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : no filename matches rent My context system from minimals is updated from tomorrow night (mptopdf was slightly different but failed anyway before thet update) Sorry if the question was already discussed here! -- jean -- Jean

Paragraphs that start with formatting fail to wrap around floats
by Brian Wedde 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

I found what appears to be a bug. I can't find any documentation on it. If i'm doing something wrong, i would really appreciate it if someone would tell me so. Otherwise, please tell me it is a bug so i can stop pulling my hair out. If a paragraph starts with anything but plain text, it will not honor floating objects and will run over them. Here is an example: \starttext \placefigure[right,here]{none}{\framed[width=0.3\textwidth,height=0.3\textwidth]{Floating Thingoid}} {\bf T}his simple paragraph does not wrap around the floated figure. You can see it starts with a single boldface command.x xxx xxxx xxx x xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxx x xx \bf{T}his paragraph will also not honor the float. It has an alternate form of the boldface command And yet this paragraph will. It starts with just plain text. xxxx xxx xxxx xxx x xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxx x. xxxx xxx xxxx xxx x xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxx x xxxx xxx xxxx xxx x xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxx x xxxx xxx xxxx xxx x xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxx x. \stoptext Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. [and if i'm posting this in the wrong place, please advise. I could not find any info on submitting or reviewing bug reports. ] Thanks! - lev

strange unknown reference problem
by Chen Shen 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi all, I got a strange "unknown reference" problem with the following simple example: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \placeformula[eq:haha] \startformula a^2 + d^2 = c^2 \stopformula haha \in[eq:haha] \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% After 3 iterations, I saw this message in the log file: references : unknown reference [][eq:haha] I am using luatex beta-0.43.0-2009081911 Got the same problem with context version from 2009.6.14 to the latest beta. I also tried deleting everything and re-install the minimal dist., but still can't solve the problem. I wonder if anyone else has this problem, or it only occurs to me. Thanks a lot. regards, shenchen

Upright math
by Khaled Hosny 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Is there a way (MkIV) to set math to use upright symbols globally, for Latin and Greek (I'm working on an OpenType math font that has no italics). Another slightly related issue, is it possible to get some visual indication of missing glyphs, something like using .notdef char instead of just leaving it blank.

[OT] Edit PDF manually
by Oliver Buerschaper 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Dear list, I'd like to perform some basic PDF editing by hand ... can someone point me to a good source of introductory material to get me started? For example, I'd like to remove a text stamp from a given file but also learn something about PDF itself along the way ... if there's some open source editing tool that might help me understand bits and pieces of PDF I wouldn't mind either :-) Best wishes, Oliver
