I have now manually downloaded the mathdesign fonts (and the charter fonts, not available on the server it seems) The fonts gets used, but I get upright math letters instead of italic ones. My test file is given by \definetypeface[charter][rm][serif][charter] [default] \definetypeface[charter][mm][math] [charter] [default] \setupbodyfont[charter,10pt] \starttext We define, for real $x$, the absolute value of $x$ as \startformula |x|= \startcases \NC \hphantom{-}x \MC x\geq 0,\NR \NC -x \MC x<0.\NR \stopcases \stopformula Also let $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\Gamma$ be\dots \stoptext The output can be found at http://home.imf.au.dk/mickep/mdesign.pdf Typesetting a similar document with LaTeX I get italic math (note also that the \Gamma is upright, I guess that this is an option that is turned on by default by LaTeX) http://home.imf.au.dk/mickep/lmdesign.pdf I guess this has something to do with the following lines in math-vfu.lua mathematics.make_font ( "charter-math", { { name = "file:bchr8a", features = "virtualmath", main = true }, -- { name = "md-chr7m.tfm", vector = "tex-mr" }, { name = "md-chri7m.tfm", vector = "tex-mi", skewchar=0x7F }, { name = "md-chri7m.tfm", vector = "tex-it", skewchar=0x7F }, { name = "md-chr7y.tfm", vector = "tex-sy", skewchar=0x30, parameters = true }, { name = "md-chr7v.tfm", vector = "tex-ex", extension = true }, { name = "msam10.tfm", vector = "tex-ma" }, { name = "msbm10.tfm", vector = "tex-mb" }, } ) However, I am not able guess what to change (I tried different things available in mdbch.map). Any help is appreciated. Mikael

Lucida Fonts with MKIV
by Troy Henderson 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

I am a LaTeX user for about 15 years, but I am very new ConTeXt. I am having trouble using the complete set of Lucida fonts purchased from TUG. http://www.tug.org/store/lucida/ I have followed the first set of instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida and the fonts work great for MKII (texexec). When building the same document (that works for MKIV) with MKIV (context), the text fonts are fine but the math fonts are set in Roman instead instead of math. Is there an easy way to adapt the configuration file(s) for MKII to MKIV? If this is possible but just requires a tedious process, I'm willing to do this, but I have no clue of the steps needed. I would appreciate any advice. Troy Henderson

Change Font in PDF-fields
by Andreas Harder 20 Feb '10

Hi all, if I use the following setup \setupfield [ShortLine] [label,frame,horizontal] [height=fit,framecolor=green] [] [height=18pt,type=normal] % <- is mono \definefield [Email] [line] [ShortLine] [] [pragma(a)wxs.nl] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] \field [Email] [E-Mail:] \stopTEXpage \stoptext the type-setting don't seem to have any affect, it's always mono. Is it possible to use a system font for typing in a field? Thanks in advance Andreas

examples from xml-mkiv

Dear Wolfgang and others, (Reference: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/046680.html; I'll continue this here as the original thread is growing rather large.)

So now I went on to try the examples from said xml-mkiv.pdf and they don’t seem to work. Running context on them as they are will stop at a TeX-prompt, typing \end into it will finish the run but no pdf is produced. The log file is quiet as usual. However, naively adding \starttext TEST \stoptext to the document will result in a pdf that looks as if the XML part was ignored. Are those examples supposed to work as they are given in xml-mkiv or is there some switch to get them working? Thanks in advance, Philipp Btw there’s a typo in section 1.1: the xml declaration should read <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> ^ -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Hi, does someone know what's going wrong here? \definestartstop[Literature] [before={\startcolumns[n=1]},after={\stopcolumns}] \define\Colorit% {\groupedcommand{\color[blue]\em}\/} \starttext This works: test \Colorit{color} text. This dont't: \startLiterature test \Colorit{color} text. \stopLiterature Why? \stoptext This gives: !

How can we change the width, height and color of the second node ("chart") in this example: \usemodule[chart] \setupFLOWcharts[height=3\lineheight] \startFLOWchart[example] \startFLOWcell \name {flow} \location {1,1} \text {Flow} \connection [rl] {chart} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {chart} \location{2,1} \text {Charts} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[example] ?
