Hi, I just installed todays beta and I am not sure if regoster sorting is working properly. Eg. I modify (see below) the example from tricky-002.tex and I would like to achieve ... accession Action Plan association But none of the four methods (before, after, first, last) gives this result!! What is wrong? Steffen ------- \starttext \subject{before : Oo Öo oo öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=before] \par \subject{after : oo öo Oo Öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=after] \par \subject{first : Oo oo Öo öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=last] \par \subject{last : oo Oo öo Öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=first] \par \dorecurse {3} { \page \recurselevel: \index{Action plans} \index{association} \index{accession} \index{bOo} \index{bõö} \index{bõo} \index{boö} \index{oo} \index{öo} \index{Oo} \index{Öo} done } \stoptext

letter module, backaddress placement
by Florian Wobbe 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Dear Wolfgang, the default vertical placement of the backaddress is to high in dinb.nls. When I change the offset from \c!voffset=\dimexpr\letterstylevalue{\v!address\v!layer}\c!voffset-\letterstylevalue{\v!backaddress\v!frame}\c!height\relax] to \c!voffset=\dimexpr\letterstylevalue{\v!address\v!layer}\c!voffset+\letterstylevalue{\v!backaddress\v!frame}\c!height\relax] (addition instead of subtraction) everything is fine. Best wishes, Florian

beta
by Hans Hagen 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hi, I uploaded a new beta: - the usual fixes and extensions discussed on this list or within the dev group - there is some more low level cleanup in the lua code (in the process of documenting cld handling) - a few adaptions in the font loader (esp related to encodings cq. unicode, not that drastic but also a a prelude to some upcoming cleanup in luatex) - a bit extended and sped up context.* commands as well as using this mechanism at the lua end If no serious bugs / issues are reported there will be a new current pretty soon.

manipulate ttf-fonts loaded with luatex
by Ulrike Fischer 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Hello, I'm currently a bit playing around with the idea to add some support in the (LaTeX) package "chessfss" (which handle chess fonts) for fonts loaded with the luaotfload package. As luaotfload use the context code to load the font I'm hoping that someone here can help me with some of my problems. Chess fonts are highly unstandard. The different authors of the fonts did put the chars quite randomly in the character table and also used various glyphs name. So in the psfonts.map almost every font has its own encoding vector: chess-pirat-lsf ChessFigurinePirat " ChessPiratFigEncoding ReEncodeFont " <chess-pirat-fig.enc <chess-pirat-fig-raw.pfb So to be able to use ttf/otf-fonts directly I must "reorder" the glyphs in the fonts (without changing the original fonts). As a first step I was able to substitute glyphs with a .fea-file: feature renc { substitute K by "glyph name of king"; } renc; But doesn't work all the time. E.g. the pirat font (http://www.enpassant.dk/chess/downl/pirat.zip) shows already some on the problems of the project: The king with the glyph name c140 is shown in fontforge on position 140 with a "å" above. The å is shown on position 229 with an "Å". luaotfload seems to think that there are two "aring" and so the temp-lua-file of the font contains in the unicodes table the enrty "c140={ 229, 140 }" and my substituation rule gets me an "å" instead of the King I want. I get the correct substituation if I manually change the entry "c140={ 229, 140 }" to "c140=140. So here the questions: 1. How can I make this change after the font has been defined? I tried to find table entries which do contain this setting and change them, but without luck. So either I didn't find the right table or I need to execute some "reload" funktion. 2. Is there another way to reorder the font than using .fea-files? E.g. by changing some font entries? 3. I can print the king by using its position with \char140. But how can I print the king in a document by using its glyph name (c140)? 4. Quite a lot chess fonts are incomplete. Is is possible to insert glyphs from other fonts? Btw: The font Alfonso (http://www.enpassant.dk/chess/downl/alfonso.zip) gives an error message. Probably the font is faulty somehow (I wouldn't be surprised) but perhaps it also indicates a hidden bug, so I'm mentioning it: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{luaotfload} \begin{document} \font\test={name:Chess Alfonso-X} \test \fbox{K} \end{document} ! LuaTeX error J:/MiKTeX2.9/tex/luatex/luaotfload/otfl-font-otn.lua:2398: table index is nil. <to be read again> \test -- Ulrike Fischer

How can i gain the same with 2x4 or 2x5 different cards on one side? (Sorry for the stupid question its my first context document) Kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

Hi, > I added the following two lines > > \usemodule[simplefonts] > \setmainfont[Minion Pro] > > and I got the attached output. Thank you very much, indeed! But in my output the font is smaller (I need it bigger), and the image still does not 'fit'.

Hi, Please, help me a.s.a.p with Simpleslides module. I have a project sucessfully compiled a year and a half ago, and now it is broken. Reduced script of my presentation: \usemodule[simpleslides] [font=Gothic, style=Swoosh] \language[ua] \setupalign[stretch,hanging,hz] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuppagetransitions[random] \setupinteractionscreen [option=max,delay=10] \setupcaptions[location=] \setupTitle [ title={\\ \bfa Кафедра \\ Авіаційних Комп'ютерно-\\ Інтегрованих Комплексів}, author={Факультет \\ Аерокосмічних Систем Управління}, date={}] %\usemodule[t][fixme] \defineoverlay [simpleslides:background:title] [{\externalfigure[Airbus-wing-over-sea-blue-sky-JR][factor=fit]}] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \placeTitle \SlideTitle {Спеціальності} Кафедра проводить пiдготовку спеціалістів за напрямом 0502 Автоматика та управління -- \bf 6.050202 автоматизація та комп'ютерно-інтегровані технології \tf %\bf компьютерно-итегрированным технологическим процессам и производствам. \tf { \startitemize \item автоматизоване управління комп’ютерно - інтегрованими \\ системами повітряних суден \item автоматизоване проектування комп’ютерно - інтегрованих комплексів \item технічний моніторинг комп’ютерно-інтегрованих комплексів. \stopitemize } \stoptext Problems observed when compiled today (I use the latest beta with --extra option): * No Russian (Ukrainian) letters at all, only numbers and punctuation signs. * The background image on the first page (the plane) is not fit to the page, but leaves blank stripes.

I just bypassed the whole last leg. See the attached file for a working example. A proper fix is much more involved. Aditya

transliteration russian
by Steffen Wolfrum 31 Oct '10

31 Oct '10

Hi all, I am just about to typeset a book of a russian author written in english, but with a lot of russian literature listed in the bibliography: The titles of theses sources are russian but in latin transliteration, like this ... O koordinacii mezhdunarodnyh i vneshnejekonomicheskih svjazej subjektov Rossijskoj Federacii But even though I assigned "\language[ru]" the word "vneshnejekonomicheskih" eg. does not get hyphenated. And there are some dozen titles more that show the same problem ... Is this (to not hyphenate) because of the transliteration? Do I have to choose another \language key? Yours, Steffen
