bug in TABLE when there is a complex head
by Nigel King 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi Developers, Enclosed is a piece of code that demonstrates a bug in the NaturalTable environment when using a complex head in a multipage case. If you run the following code you will notice that not only does the head get repeated but also the first row of the body of the table. The cause appears to be [nr=2] in the head. I am using This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009) (format=cont-en 2010.4.14) 6 DEC 2010 08:32 I do apologise if this is fixed in a later version. Thanks for a great program. \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH[nr=2] head l\eTH \bTH head r\eTH \eTR \bTR \bTH head r\eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD first l\eTD\bTD first r\eTD\eTR \dorecurse{50}{\bTR\bTD subsequent l\eTD\bTD subsequent r\eTD\eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE -- Nigel King

Chart module: comment not visible!?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi, I wanted to try the chart module to build some flow diagrams, and tried the example (digital signal processing!) at contextgarden. Unfortunately, the text inside the rectangular shapes shows up properly, but no sign of any comments visible in the generated pdf-file! I use ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII together with pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7). Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Regards, Gerard Verhaag

contextref vs. cont-enp; co-fonts
by Procházka Lukáš 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hello, just two notices - 1) When searching for some learning stuff, I found the cont-enp.pdf/12.11.2001 (http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-man-9.htm) which "... is the big reference manual, the one that is supposed to cover the whole of CONTEXT.". Some time ago, I downloaded the contextref.pdf/8.10.2010 (http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf) whose content is near to that of cont-enp.pdf. Probably just one of both documents is supposed to be the FINAL Ctx manual - and this [only] one should be available for download at both sites. 2) Fonts: wiki refers to http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf (18.11.2009?), whilst the http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mfonts.pdf (21.11.2005) is a cca twice wider (and newer?) document. Furthermore, the former document has some links broken (e.g. "(see section ??)" on the page 5 on the first line) and it would be nice if the links were INTERACTIVE (e.g. "(see section <1.5>" to jump to the section 1.5 of the document). Would it be possible to make links in the "mfonts.pdf" interactive ("jumpable"), even in the print version of the document, e.g. in TOC? Probably just one of both documents is supposed to explain deeply the stuff about fonts; this [only] one should be refered and available for download. Friendly regards, Lukas

Typescript Bodoni Old Fashion
by Philipp Gesang 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi all, [1] I just bought the Bodoni Old Fashion fonts from URW and made a typescript. It is attached to this mail (plus a test file for whoever needs it). Maybe it could be included in the minimals as third-party typescript. [2] Can we get the strings \definesystemconstant{SerifSemiBold} \definesystemconstant{SerifSemiBoldItalic} added to mult-sys.mkiv? This would allow the use of “\s!SerifSemiBold” in typescripts. Thanks, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

substitute glyphs from another font
by Philipp Gesang 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi again, the font I want to use keeps, despite its being otf, small caps and text figures in a separate file, not as features. I’m fine with the caps but I really need text figures as default and a switch to lining figures for the occasional table. Is there a way for typeface A to globally substitute the glyphs for R"09" with their aequivalents from typeface B? (I tried making numbers active but this messes things up royally. Modifying the font is not an option either. Also, some threads[*] on the ml seem to indicate that this is possible but predominantly done with math fonts.) Any solution would be appreciated no matter how hackish it might turn out. Thanks in advance Philipp [*] E.g. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100825.073722.961ad8df.en.html http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090930.193712.bf6a4e0c.en.html http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20101028.185641.136ab929.en.html -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
