cow symbols don't work in MkIV
by Henning Hraban Ramm 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

This works in MkII, but not MkIV. Other symbol sets like mvs work (even with a list of error messages). \starttext \usesymbols[cow] \setupsymbolset[cownormal] \startTEXpage[align={middle,middle},width=210mm,height=297mm] \dontleavehmode\scale[width=\textwidth]{\symbol[CowConTeXt]} Cowboy Coder \stopTEXpage \stoptext Under MkIV I managed to get my hands on the Cows (text) font via \definedfont[Cows at 30mm], but not on CowLogos.

Removing banner from mtxrun output
by Johan Sandblom 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Greetings all! In the modernized version of the R module (attached), which makes it possible to interact with the statistical programming environment R (http://www.r-project.org) mtxrun is used to call R on saved buffers containing snippets of R code. Optionally, the output from R can be included using \typefile. However, mtxrun includes a banner in the output file, example below. MTXrun | MTXrun | executing: R -q --save --restore MTXrun | MTXrun |> sample(1:10) [1] 5 3 1 9 2 6 10 8 4 7 > sample(1:10, replace=TRUE) [1] 1 10 7 1 7 5 2 2 10 5 > If the results of the computations are to be included in the text, this banner is ugly and distracting. Question: is it possible to instruct mtxrun not to make such a banner? Or, alternatively, is there an easy way to remove it before the text is included? I am using MKIV exclusively.

How to start (again) with typescripts
by Patrick Gundlach 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hello, having been absent from the One and Only True Typesetting System for quite some time I'd like to try to write my software-documentation in MK IV. Now I have several instances of a Frutiger font (ttf) and I guess I need to create a typescript. mtxrun --script fonts --list --all gives me frutigerce45light frutigercelight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 45 Light.ttf frutigerce45lightlight frutigercelight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 45 Light.ttf frutigerce55roman frutigerceroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 55 Roman.ttf frutigerce55romannormal frutigerceroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 55 Roman.ttf frutigercelight frutigercelight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 45 Light.ttf frutigerceroman frutigerceroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger CE 55 Roman.ttf frutigerlt45light frutigerltlight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 45 Light.ttf frutigerlt45lightlight frutigerltlight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 45 Light.ttf frutigerlt46lightitalic frutigerltlightitalic /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 46 Light Italic.ttf frutigerlt55roman frutigerltroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 55 Roman.ttf frutigerlt55romannormal frutigerltroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 55 Roman.ttf frutigerltlight frutigerltlight /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 45 Light.ttf frutigerltlightitalic frutigerltlightitalic /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 46 Light Italic.ttf frutigerltroman frutigerltroman /Users/patrick/Library/Fonts/Frutiger LT 55 Roman.ttf Can I use this information to create a typescript? Where should I look for documentation on it? The wiki page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts) is MK II only. The font chapter from the reference manual confuses me, as it deals a lot with encodings and I have not found an instruction as "If you need to install a new font family, do this and this and that". Does such a list exist? Can someone point me to instructions? I know I should have asked last week... Patrick

Problems with the installation of the minimals on Win XP :-(
by Florian Baudach 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi, after solving my problems with the minimals with Linux, I have now a problem with the Windows version. :-( My boss allowed me to use ConTeXt for a book project :-), unfortunately we work here with WinXP and the first-setup.bat fails with the following error: mtxrun.exe – Komponente nicht gefunden (mtxrun.exe – component not found) Die Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, weil kpathsea60071.dll nicht gefunden wurde. Neuinstallation der Anwendung könnte das Problem beheben. (Couldn’t start the application. Couldn’t found kpathsea60071.dll. A new installation of the application could solve the problem.) I have installed ruby first. What could be wrong? Greetings Florian Baudach

problem with tabulate header and footer
by Hongwen Qiu 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

\setuptabulate[footer=repeat] has no effect, so is this a bug or if something has been changed? And \setuptabulate[header=repeat] can only repeat a single row(see the minimal example below). So is this a bug or is it never been implemented or thought like this? TIA for any help or feedback. Minimal example: \starttext \setuptabulate[header=repeat, footers=repeat] \starttabulatehead \HL \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC \NR \NC D \NC E \NC F \NC \NR \HL \stoptabulatehead \starttabulatetail \HL \stoptabulatetail \startluacode context.starttabulate{"|c|c|c|"} for i=1,200 do context.NC() context("G") context.NC() context("H") context.NC() context("I") context.NC() context.NR() end context.stoptabulate() \stopluacode \stoptext The example and its output are attached.

Problem with Schusters letter package
by Rolf Lindgren 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

I think I've managed to set ConTeXt to mkiv, things proceed relatively smoothly, and from the log file, it appears that the right files are read. I'm using the most recent version of Schusters's letter package. When compiling the example letter, the following error occurs: ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \@@@@lsoptionmethod the macro in question seems to appear in default.nli but is not defined anywhere. Any and all help appreciated. Thank you, -- Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren http://www.grendel.no/ http://www.elvetun.no/ +47 40061755

Metapost and underscore
by Aditya Mahajan 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi, Really bad things happen if the variable name in metapost contains an underscore. It took me quite a while to isolate this problem. Minimal example: \startMPinclusions input rboxes ; \stopMPinclusions \starttext \startMPpage rboxit.A (textext("A")) ; rboxit.B_1 (textext("B")) ; rboxit.C (textext("C")) ; A.c = origin ; xpart B_1.c = xpart C.c = xpart A.c + 3cm ; ypart B_1.s - ypart C.n = 1cm ; drawboxed(A,B_1,C) ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage rboxit.A (textext("A")) ; rboxit.B (textext("B")) ; rboxit.C (textext("C")) ; A.c = origin ; xpart B.c = xpart C.c = xpart A.c + 3cm ; ypart B.s - ypart C.n = 1cm ; drawboxed(A,B,C) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext See attached output. The label of box B is placed at origin rather than at the correct location! I am using 2010.08.17 and luatex 0.61 (too close to a deadline to update). Aditya
