It will not interfere if you uncheck "Set env. vars globally option" during installation. Then, it's safe.

new beta
by Hans Hagen 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi, I uploaded a new mkiv beta. Apart from a few fixes, the main new thing is that the new vertical spacing model is now used. (I will cleanup everything related to spacing and grid snappin glater). This new mechanism was discussed at the context meeting. I have been testing it for quite a while and it seems to work out ok, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

oldstyle numbers
by Arno Trautmann 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi, I’m new to ConTeXt and try to compile a document using XeTeX. Loading an otf font works fine, but I don’t get it to use oldstyle numbers. google and contextgarden did give me some hints, but I didn’t get it working. I tried: \starttext \definetypeface[normalfont][rm][Xserif][Arno Pro] \stoptext and several versions of things like [features=oldstyle], [onum=true], \definefontfeature[mine] with oldstyle etc. but nothing worked. So what am I doing wrong? Is there a simple way for oldstyle numbers? (I want them in the whole document, so I prefer a simple, global solution.) cheers, Arno

(in mkiv) i redid overprints - it's now no longer a property but just a color feature - the name chanegd to 'intent' - we now have \setupcolors[intent=none|overprint|knockout]; once set to != none it stays that way (global) - \startcolorintent[overprint|knockout] .. \stopcolorintent - the \startoverprint command is still there for backward compatibility in mkii i didn't change the mechanism, just the 'intent' key as this is s specialized feature i don't care too much about compatibility ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
