bug in mkiv with and underlined space
by Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi List, Hi Hans I think I figured out an bug in MKIV, the following minimal example works in mkii but not in mkiv \definehspace[myspace][8em] \starttext Test if you can place a space \underbar{\hspace[myspace]} right here. \stoptext the wished and delivered result in mkii is a line of the length of 8em, but in mkiv it only delivers the space but not the underline...

Dear Claudio, Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.

Thanks a lot for some more insight. I admit that I didn't know the details (I should be ashamed) and in my area they were more radical with surname changes (mine was Michelazzi and I think that most surnames here were "properly Romanized", for example Filipčič -> Filippi, so again no problems with hyphenation :) :) :). > This spelling remained > when North East Italy and Istria were annexed to the Kingdom of Italy at the > end of WW1.

There's no need to apologize. First, there's an "infinite" number of foreign names, so that one simply cannot get all of them right. I guess that Lju-bl-ja-na is not properly hyphenated either (Lu-bia-na is ok), but in my opinion it's a valid argument that one should change the language when writing foreign names if they are to be hyphenated properly. I can also easily imagine Slovenian patterns that would hyphenate: Fis-cher, Aac-hen, Go-ethe when not knowing that those letters represent a single "letter"/sound in foreign words. Second, I have no idea, but I think it was a pure coincidence that the "problem" reported by Rogutės Sparnuotos is the same as that for surnames of a group of people on North-East (I think that the name in question comes from Russia with translitaration done by English). On the other hand if it's just a tiny pattern that solves them all ... > I will submit, at least for Italian, a revised > pattern file.

In case you do submit any updates, I would be extremely grateful for submitting an update to http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/pa… instead of (or at least in addition to) the original file (you may remove the initial comments). Also, if you happen to have the original of http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb13-1/tb34becc.pdf it would be nice to include it into repository as documentation about Italian hyphenation (but that's all too off-topic for the ConTeXt mailing list). Thanks again, Mojca

24 May '10

Hi, We've made the final tex live current. As a consequence of some fixes it also means that a bitmore went in there than planned. Taco made release notes and will check this version into texlive 2010. This also means that (in upcoming betas) we can start using > 0.60 versions of luatex.

hyphenation patterns
by Rogutės Sparnuotos 24 May '10

24 May '10

Is there anyone here who understands hyphenation patterns? Such a document: \setuplayout[textwidth=0.2cm] \starttext \language[la] Manovich. \stoptext hyphenates 'Manovich' into Ma-no-vi-ch, while it should be Ma-no-vich. The same applies for Italian and Lithuanian languages (in LaTeX as well). Could there be such an omission in the hyphenation patterns? Or am I missing something? Thanks, -- Rogutės Sparnuotos

simple style customization in t-letter
by Piotr Kopszak 24 May '10

24 May '10

I'm probably too dumb to figure that on my own, at least now. How one can change default style to move the reference line including date to the top of the letter page? Best Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Lost document background
by Wolfgang Schuster 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi Hans, under certain circumstances document backgrounds (overlays) are lost. A minimum real live example is this: \definelayer[test] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupmakeup[standard][doublesided=empty] % background is lost %\setupmakeup[standard][doublesided=yes] % background is visible \startsetups[test] \setlayer[test][hoffset=4cm,voffset=7cm]{\tfd text} \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test,setups=test] \starttext \startstandardmakeup text \stopstandardmakeup test \stoptext With 'doublesided=yes' the background is visible but with 'doublesided=empty' no background is shown. I spend a few hours to find the reason for this and i was able to produce a shorter example: \defineoverlay[test][\tfd text] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test,state=repeat] \starttext text\page\page[blank]\null\page %\chardef\pageornamentstate\zerocount text \stoptext The problem is that '\page[blank]' sets \pageornamentstate at global level to '1'.

texexec --purgeall not working
by Riobard 23 May '10

23 May '10

Hi, Not sure if it is just me, but the --purgeall option of texexec no longer works in ConTeXt minimals. *.tmp/tui/tuo files are left intact after compiling. No `CtxTools | removed` lines are output in the log. However, the version in TeX Live 2009 works file. Any idea why? - Rio
