Error in simplefonts

Hi Wolfgang, \definesimplefont fails in the latest beta. Minimal example: \usemodule [simplefonts][size=10pt] \setmainfont[Fontin][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \definesimplefont [NameFont] [FontinBold][size=16pt] \starttext \NameFont A \stoptext ... gives <+ /opt/context-minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.lua>) ! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: attempt to index field 'define' (a nil value) stack traceback: <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. system > error on line 5 in file test.tex: LuaTeX error ... 1 \usemodule [simplefonts][size=10pt] 2 3 \setmainfont[Fontin][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] 4 5 >> \definesimplefont [NameFont] [FontinBold][size=16pt] 6 7 \starttext 8 \NameFont A 9 \stoptext \dodefinesimplefont ...1("\luaescapestring {#2}")} \ifcase \scaledfontmode \r... l.5 ...efont [NameFont] [FontinBold][size=16pt] Any ideas? Thanks, Aditya

OpenType Math
by Andreas Harder 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi all, there are still some problems with OpenType math. I've collected some: % \setupbodyfont[palatino] % reference % \setupbodyfont[cambria] % \setupbodyfont[euler] \setupbodyfont[asana] \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] $n\choose k$ \crlf $1+\cdots+n$ \crlf $1+\frac{a}{b}$ \crlf $(a+b)\cdot\cdots\cdot(n+k)$ \stopTEXpage Please compare the output. Greeting Andreas

\setfontfeature-problem
by Andreas Harder 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi all, please have a look at my example: \definefontfeature[default][default][mode=node,onum=yes] \definefontfeature[sc][default][smcp=yes] \def\sc{\groupedcommand{\setfontfeature{sc}}{}} \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] {\sc Abc} 0369 \crlf \sc{Abc} 0369 \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] 0369 {\sc Abc} 0369 \crlf 0369 \sc{Abc} 0369 \stopTEXpage \stoptext It seems that if a line starts with \sc{…} the onum-option is ignored. Is there a solution? Greeting Andreas

vertical space between \framed’s
by Philipp Gesang 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi, how do I get rid of the space between two consecutive framed texts? In the following example: ···8<···························································· \def\testbox{\framed[frame=on,width=2em,height=2em]{A\par}} \setupinterlinespace[0pt] \starttext \testbox\testbox \stoptext ···8<···························································· there’s still a vertical gap that I thought I eliminated by switching off the interlinespace. Thanks for any recommendations, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Marginal heads and non-text sections
by Brian Sniffen 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

I'm having trouble understanding space inserted around itemize and TABLE objects. I found some great advice from the mailing list archives, and managed to cobble together a setup that *almost* works. Now I have only two problems. I welcome any help. First: In the example below, the word "monkey" creates no vertical space---even if it's commented out, there's no change in the space between "Title" and "alpha". I'd like to tighten that space up---I've been resorting to \vskip{-10ex}, but surely there's a way to not put that space there in the first place. I'm already using packed,intro,joinedup for the itemize in an attempt to shove it as high as possible; is there another way? Second: in the same example, the "Second" subject does not appear. Uncommenting the llama doesn't make any surprising difference (well, it moves the table down, showing that tables don't have the space-filling property of itemizes), but uncommenting the apricot does cause the "Second" subject to appear. How can I force the "Second" subject to appear next to the table? Thank you for any help. \setuphead[subject][alternative=text,distance=0pt,command=\MyHead] \setupinmargin[style=\setupinterlinespace] \def\MyHead#1#2{\margintitle[low]{\rotate{#1 #2}}} \setupitemize[packed,intro,joinedup,KR] \starttext \title{Title} \subject{First} monkey \startitemize[columns] \item alpha \item beta \item gamma \stopitemize \subject{Second} %llama \bTABLE \bTR \bTD One \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext -- Brian Sniffen http://evenmere.org/~bts/ <bts(a)evenmere.org>

autopunctuations and subscripts

Hi, It seems that autopunctuation=no does not affect the spacing in subscripts. Bug or feature? \setupbodyfont[xits] %(also with cambria) \starttext \startformula \min_{(f,g)} (f,g) \stopformula \setupmathematics[autopunctuation=no] \startformula \min_{(f,g)} (f,g) \stopformula \stoptext Aditya

beta
by Hans Hagen 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Hi, I uploaded a beta. This weeks undocumented feature: \starttext test \placefigure{}{} test \placefigure[somewhere:alpha][whatever]{}{} test \placefigure[somewhere:beta] [whatever]{}{} test \placefigure[somewhere:gamma][whatever]{}{} test \placefigure[somewhere:delta][whatever]{}{} test \placefigure{}{} in \in{figure}[whatever] bla bla \placenamedfloat[figure][*l*] \placenamedfloat[figure][gamma] \placenamedfloat[figure][beta] \stoptext Experimental of course. Alan and I are discussing up some more clever mechanisms (follow up on conference chats) but this will probably stay.
