issue with "nodes.skipcodes"
by Li Yanrui (李延瑞) 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi Hans, I notice the "scrp-cjk.lua" have been great changes in latest beta. Thanks for your hard work! It seems that we can adjust the parameters of glue by nodes.skipcodes. Could you give me an minimum example how to set the value of the skipcodes table in user's module? -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

Don't remember why, but I assume because there were no differences anymore and people could simply install the versions from Debian/stable ...

ConTeXt header oddities
by Peter McFarlane 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, hoping someone can help me with these couple of oddities I notice when processing some ConText documents: 1. Bodymatter and appendix header logo doesn't get printed on the last page of the section. Here are the relevant sections of the document: \def\HeadLogo% {\externalfigure[clean.png][height=20pt]} ... \startfrontmatter % logo on page of frontmatter - this one seems to work for all pages of frontmatter \definelogo[aitlogo][header][right][state=start,command=\HeadLogo] ... \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter % logo on page of bodymatter - this one puts the logo in the header of all but the last page of bodymatter \definelogo[aitlogo][header][right][state=start,command=\HeadLogo] ... \stopbodymatter \startappendices % logo on page of appendix - this one also puts the logo in the header of all but the last page of appendix \definelogo[aitlogo][header][right][state=start,command=\HeadLogo] ... \stopappendices Very strange and reproducible. Originally, I was using TeXLive 2005 when I inherited the project... since then I have upgraded to TeXLive 2009 but no change in behaviour. 2. There is _always_ a blank page at the end of the document, no matter how many pages there are, an extra one gets printed, with header but minus logo in the header, as described in 1 above.... Any help much appreciated, Regards, Pete

xits font in ~/.fonts
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, I cannot use xits fonts if they are placed in $HOME/.fonts. For example, if I use \setupbodyfont[xits] I get a series of messages define fonts > forced type otf of xits-regular not found define fonts > font with name xits-regular is not found define fonts > unknown font xits-regular, loading aborted define fonts > unable to define xits-regular.otf as \*xits11ptrmtfc* I also tried to use the fonts with simplefonts. \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[XITS] \setmathfont[XITS Math] falls back to LM math while \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[XITS] \setmathfont[XITS] gives XITS-Regular as the math font (and not XITS-Math). Other fonts in $HOME/.fonts, in particular cambria, work with both methods. \setupbodyfont[cambria] and \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Cambria] \setmathfont[Cambria] both work. Here is the output of mtxrun --script font --list "cambria*" --all cambria cambriabold /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriab.ttf cambriabold cambriabold /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriab.ttf cambriabolditalic cambriabolditalic /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriaz.ttf cambriaitalic cambriaitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriai.ttf cambriamath cambriamath /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambria.ttc index: 0 cambriamathnormal cambriamath /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambria.ttc index: 0 cambrianormal cambriaitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriai.ttf and mtxrun --script font --list "xits*" --all brushscriptxitalic brushscriptxitalic BrushScriptX-Italic.afm venturissansadfexitalic venturissansadfexitalic VenturisSansADFEx-Italic.otf venturissansadfno2exitalic venturissansadfno2exitalic VenturisSansADFNo2Ex-Italic.otf xits xits /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-regular.otf xitsbold xitsbold /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-bold.otf xitsbolditalic xitsbolditalic /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-bolditalic.otf xitsitalic xitsitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-italic.otf xitsmath xitsmath /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-math.otf xitsmathnormal xitsmath /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-math.otf xitsmathregular xitsmath /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-math.otf xitsnormal xitsitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-italic.otf xitsregular xits /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-regular.otf Any idea what is going on.

(Open) Solaris & minimals
by Mojca Miklavec 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Based on the following message: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Oracle-turns-its-back-on-OpenSolaris… ... is there still any interest for OpenSolaris support in minimals? (At the moment OpenSolaris binaries are supposed to work, even though most probably nobody uses them.) Mojca

Protrusion and expansion in simplefonts not working in latest beta?
by Vianney le Clément 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hello, Protrusion and expansion seem to be not working anymore when using the simplefonts module in the latest betas. I used to write something like \usemodule[simplefonts][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hanging,hz] \setmainfont[Tex Gyre Bonum] but that doesn't give me any of the nice effects anymore. Has something changed in the interface to access those features? BTW, I would definitely love an option in simplefonts to take care of this whole setup at once. Something like \setupmodule[simplefonts][microtypography=yes] to take care of the first two lines of the previous example. Or at least imply \setupalign[hanging] when setting the protrusion parameter and similarly for the expansion parameter. Thanks, Vianney
