Upcoming EuroTeX 2009
by Willi Egger 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Dear TeX user, The upcoming EuroTeX 2009 takes place from August 31 till September 4 in Den Haag in The Netherlands. In parallel we will run the third ConTeXt conference. We already have some 25 talks and tutorials submitted but we need a few more as we run a parallel program. If you are willing to present a paper or tutorial, please let us know. The theme of the conference is "Educational Uses of TeX" but of course other TeX and MetaPost related topics will be covered as well. Depending on the amount of contributions we will program them in blocks that cover general topics but we will also cluster talks and turorials specific to macro packages in an additional program. You can send your proposal(s) to eurotex(a)ntg.nl. Registration for the conference closes at July 1, 2009. On behalf of the organization, Taco Hoekwater & Hans Hagen

Too old already? If so, what would be a good frequency of updating the minimals? Kind Regards, Robert Blackstone

On my system (both MacTeX 2008 and ConTeXt minimals) this does not work properly. The Roman numbers appear in the TOC but not on the textpages themselves. Furthermore, after the frontmatter the page numbers should start again with 1 (at least that is what I think) but they just continue (i.c. with 3). The previous TeX-file, in ntg-context Digest, Vol 63, Issue 6, message 6, showed almost the reverse, i.e. Roman numbers on the pages but not in the TOC but the body matter starting correctly on page 1. So if the present setup works correctly for Derek, why would it be it different on my system and what can I do about it? Sorry for intruding but this topic is important for me. Regards, Robert Blackstone

Slovenian alphabetic itemize broken in MKIV
by Mojca Miklavec 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hello, I guess again that the following example only breaks on my computer (this time it's probably true by definition). Any ideas about circumventing the problem are most welcome (PS: "Translate your text to English" is not considered a valid answer :). \mainlanguage[sl] \starttext \startitemize[a] \item something \item something \item something \item something \stopitemize \stoptext ! LuaTeX error ...min3/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-con.lua:173: attempt to index global 'code' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...min3/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-con.lua:173: in function 'chr' ...min3/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-con.lua:155: in function 'do_alphabetic' ...min3/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-con.lua:178: in function 'alphabetic' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \sloveniancharacters ...phabetic(\number #1,"sl")} l.1 \convertnumber{a}{1} \doconvertedstructurecounter ...!criterium ", } )} \endgroup <to be read again> \fi \doactualitemnumber ...rrentitemgroupcounter ]\fi \dohandleitemreference \en... \actualitemnumber ...fi \else \doactualitemnumber \fi ... l.4 \item s omething ? Thanks, Mojca (who is going to try the latest version now, but I doubt that it makes any difference)

Helvetica Neue and Snow Leopard
by Brian R. Landy 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hi, I've run into a problem using Helvetica Neue on a Mac under Snow Leopard. The font is provided by Apple and was a dfont package on 10.5, now it is a ttc. I am getting garbled and funny text using it. An example is -- \usetypescriptfile[type-mac] \usetypescript[helvetica-neue] \setupbodyfont[helvetica-neue,sans,10pt] \starttext {\bf Hello World, 1234567890\par} {Hello World, 1234567890\par} \stoptext I am attaching pdfs that show the correct (from Leopard) and incorrect output. Both systems are running ConTeXt 2009.08.19 (actually I just updated to 2009.08.30 with no help, this is using minimals) and LuaTeX beta-0.43.0-2009081811. The bold font gets the letters correct but it looks terrible; normal sans text is completely garbled. I have reloaded my font database but it didn't help. Thanks, Brian
