PDF's generated by XeTeX and LuaTeX, font licensing
by John Magolske 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Reading through the license of a commercial font I'm interested in, I see it stipulated for PDF files created that: "... a reader or user cannot create new content using one of our fonts in a PDF application ... the complete font is not embedded" And in an email correspondence with the vendor: "We just ask that you subset the font when exporting the PDFs ..." Do PDF's generated by XeTeX and LuaTeX "subset the font" in this way? Regards, John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact

How to use local setups in selected components of a project only
by Elias Oltmanns 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi all, it has been suggested on this list before, that people should use modes instead of \localenvironment and friends. Unfortunately, I don't seem to get either of them working as expected. Consider the following example: % project.tex \startproject project \environment environ \component compa \component compb \stopproject % environ.tex \startenvironment environ % global setups % ... \startmode[compa] \setuphead[section][number=no] \stopmode \stopenvironment % localenv.tex \startlocalenvironment [compa] \setuphead[section][number=no] \stoplocalenvironment % compa.tex \startcomponent compa %\enablemode[compa] \project project \localenvironment localenv \section{First section} Some text %\disablemode[compa] \stopcomponent % compb.tex \startcomponent compb \project project \section{Second section} More text \stopcomponent Compiling project.tex results in both sections being unnumbered. Compiling just compb.tex yields the expected result. Apparently, the setups of localenv stay in effect for all components processed subsequently. Commenting out \localenvironment and uncommenting \enablemode / \disablemode in compa.tex, however, does not solve the problem either: When I compile just compa.tex, everything works as expected. Compiling preject.tex, however, results in all sections being numbered. Obviously, the call to \enablemode comes too late. What is the recommended approach to such a problem? Do I have to undo local setups manually at the end of a component? Thanks in advance for any advice, Elias

\framed \placelist
by Andreas Harder 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi all, if I try to put \placelist in \framed an error (You can't use `\prevdepth' in restricted horizontal mode) occurs. \starttext \framed [background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] {\placelist[section]} \dorecurse{10}{\section{test #1} \input tufte } \stoptext So what is the way to put a background behind the list?

Trouble with customising section heads
by Elias Oltmanns 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi again, sorry for bothering you so persistently, but I really did try to hard to find a solution -- and failed: In the attempt to customise my section headings by means of \setuphead[section][...command=] I followed the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Figures_in_Headings#Figures_in_Headings . For the purposes of testing, I've installed a current minimals distribution. As it turns out, neither MkII nor MkIV processes the attached example as expected: MkII The table of contents is incomplete, even though the wiki says it shouldn't be; MkIV \currentheadnumber seems to be 0 all the time. There is a possibility, of course, that something is wrong with my setup of ConTeXt. But I just did another % ./first-setup.sh --context=current Thanks in advance for any hint, Elias %%%%%%%%%% \setuphead[section][textcommand=\Myhead,numbercommand=\Mynum] \def\Myhead#1{% Sect \currentheadnumber} \def\Mynum#1{} \starttext \completecontent \chapter{First chapter} \section{First section} Some text. \chapter{Second chapter} Introductory text. \section{First section} More text. \section{Second section} The end. \stoptext

Hi all, for me (OS X 10.6.4) mtxrun –script server –auto do not work. If I click on a font name I get: MTXrun | request from: 127.0.0.1 MTXrun | requested action: /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua?selection=hoeflertextregular MTXrun | performing action: /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua?selection=hoeflertextregular MTXrun | requested file '/mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua?selection=hoeflertextregular' MTXrun | handling error 404: Not Found Another thing is the streams-module. Here is an example: \usemodule[streams] \definestreamlayer[test][method=overlay] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test] \starttext \showframe \startstreamlayer[test] \startcolumns \input knuth \stopcolumns \stopstreamlayer \setlayer[test][x=5cm,y=10cm]{\placestreamlayer[test]} \stoptext And here the error: ! Undefined control sequence. l.19 \defineoutputstream[\v!left] Greeting Andreas

subject kills bookmarks?
by Steffen Wolfrum 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, Why does subject kill bookmarks when used as first entry? See attached example. (I am not sure whether I misunderstood the structural logic that's used for bookmarks.) Steffen \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \setupbodyfont[mscore,12pt] \defineconversion [greekone] [α,β,γ,δ,ε,ζ,η,θ,ι,κ,λ,μ,ν,ξ,ο,π,ρ,σ,τ,υ,φ,χ,ψ,ω] \setuphead [chapter] [sectionsegments=2:2,conversion=numbers,sectionstarter={},sectionstopper={.}] \setuphead [section] [sectionsegments=3:3,conversion=characters,sectionstarter={},sectionstopper={)}] \setuphead [subsection] [sectionsegments=4:4,conversion=greekone,sectionstarter={(},sectionstopper={)}] \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection,subject][all][force=yes] \starttext \placelist[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection,subject][criterium=all] \subject{Vorwort}% Here bookmarks are killed? \chapter{Eins} % \subject{Vorwort}% Here it would work! \section{Klein A} \section{Klein B} \subsection{Alpha} \subsection{Beta} \chapter{Zwei} \stoptext

interface file parameter
by Philipp Gesang 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi all, in an interface xml definition, what is the notation for an argument value that is a filename? I'm just unsure whether to specify it as “cd:text” or “cd:name”. Example: ···8<·········································································· <cd:parameter name="file"> <cd:constant type="default-file.name" default="yes"/>  <cd:constant type="cd:text"/>  <cd:constant type="cd:name"/> </cd:parameter> ···8<·········································································· Also, is there a way to specify conditioned arguments (apart from separate setups)? E.g. parameter “p” has an effect iff parameter “q” is given as well? ···8<·········································································· <cd:parameter name="p" depends="q"> ... ···8<·········································································· Or are interface files obsolete by now due to texshow's migrating to the wiki? Thanks, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

beta: \setuplocalframed (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, \setuplocalframed is no longer defined in mkiv (but \localframed is still used in several mkiv files). Is this a mistake or is there a new mkiv interface for this? MTXrun | current version: 2010.08.10 17:14 Peter

beta: PDF/X interface
by Peter Rolf 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

Hi, a quick description of the PDF/X interface for all testers. More documentation in the (hopefully near) future. Peter ------------------------------------------------------------ \setupbackend [format=valid pdf/x name, profile=name.icc, intent=name.icc, level=compresslevel, % default 3 file=optional specification file, option=always|never] The following two parameters are sufficient for most cases. 'format': currently supported versions: 'PDF/X-1a:2001' 'PDF/X-1a:2003' 'PDF/X-3:2002' 'PDF/X-3:2003' 'PDF/X-4' 'PDF/X-4p' 'intent': sets the output intent the name of the predefined output intents can be found in <tex-path>/texmf-context/color/icc/context/colorprofiles.xml more info about this collection under 'http://www.gwg.org/120.387.0.0.1.0.phtml' All profiles will be available on the Wiki soon. 'Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)' 'GRACoL2006_Coated1v2.icc' 'ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)' 'ISO Coated v2 (ECI)' 'ISOnewspaper26v4' 'ISOnewspaper26v4_gr' 'ISO Uncoated' 'ISO Uncoated Yellowish' 'ISO Web Coated' 'Japan Color 2001 Coated' 'Japan Color 2002 Newspaper' 'Japan Web Coated (Ad)' 'SNAP 2007' 'SWOP2006_Coated3v2.icc' 'SWOP2006_Coated5v2.icc' 'Uncoated FOGRA29 (ISO 12647-2:2004)' 'Web Coated FOGRA28 (ISO 12647-2:2004)' 'PSR_LWC_PLUS_V2_PT' 'PSR_LWC_STD_V2_PT' 'PSR_SC_PLUS_V2_PT' 'PSR_SC_STD_V2_PT' 'PSRgravureMF' These parameters are kind of special. 'profile': sets the default color space profile (option for color management); see pdf-x4p.mkiv for an example; currently only one profile per color space allowed 'level': set the PDF compress level (normally not needed, more an option for testing) You can easily break PDF/X compatibility with a wrong value. 'option': 'always': force embedding of the output intent profile (useful only in case of PDF/X-1a) 'never': don't embed the output intent profile; also just a test option.
