cjk texts in the pdf file which MkIV output sometimes can not be copy rightly
by Li Yanrui (李延瑞) 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hi all, For the pdf file which is generated frome the following example, two Chinese characters can not be copied rightly when I use simsun.ttc font and use *Adobe Reader* to view it. The copy text is displayed as the wrong unicode text such as "􁨀". However these glyphs can be copied rightly if I use AdobeSongStd.otf font or I use other pdf reader such as evince. \definefont[song][file:simsun] \starttext \song 描 $\overline{q}$ 提 \stoptext The attachment for this mail is that pdf file with simsun.ttc font which can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/way2ctx/downloads/list This situation is not general. For example, if I change one Chinese character the text can be copied normally even using simsun.ttc font. -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

I finally managed to put my pics online: http://picasaweb.google.de/fiee.visuelle/ConTeXtMeeting2010# (first few are in Prague) Can't keep up with the quality of Frans' pictures, the colors are rather horrible (picture correction of iPhoto)... Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Wanted: ConTeXt: The poster
by Martin Schröder 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hi, for use at a conference booth I'd like to have a poster (A3 up to A0) describing (and of course promoting) ConTeXt. You may assume that the audience already knows (La)TeX. :-) The first use would be at OpenRheinRuhr in November. Since most ConTeXt developers will be together next week, could you please spend some time creating one? A short (say 20 frames) PDF presentation on the same subject would also be nice to have. Best Martin

autopunctuations and subscripts

Hi, It seems that autopunctuation=no does not affect the spacing in subscripts. Bug or feature? \setupbodyfont[xits] %(also with cambria) \starttext \startformula \min_{(f,g)} (f,g) \stopformula \setupmathematics[autopunctuation=no] \startformula \min_{(f,g)} (f,g) \stopformula \stoptext Aditya

itemize in TABLE
by Andreas Harder 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Hi all, please have a look at the following example \starttext \showframe \startbuffer \startitemize[n,fit][left={Abb. },distance=.5em] \item \dorecurse{20}{eins } \item \dorecurse{20}{zwei } \item \dorecurse{20}{drei } \stopitemize \stopbuffer \bTABLE % it works if you comment out the table \bTR\bTD \getbuffer \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \getbuffer \stoptext It seems that using itemize in TABLE disturbs the following lists. Is there something I can do about it? Greeting Andreas

change register entry separator
by Jano Kula 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

Hi, any way to change register entry and subentry separator from "+" to something else? Preferably to kanji character, so I'm sure it will not appear in the text. Entries and subentries are autoflushed, so it can be really anything. Other way around: I substitute "+" with " PLUS " in index terms before writing into the index, but which command is reading the sorted index entries to change it back to "+" when typesetting the sorted index on pages? Thanks, Jano

Euler font and context minimals
by Mathieu Boespflug 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi everyone, I'm using ConTeXt for my PhD thesis and as I'm getting sick of writing up I've been trying to tweak the appearance a bit. I'd like to switch to using Palatino font for main body and Euler font for math. So I tried \setupbodyfont[pagella-euler] \starttext test $f(x) = x^2$. \stoptext But I get errors during processing such as: MTXrun | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/mboes/src/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/9076a3f5a9f873039eaa5d3001a4c6ac/formats/cont-en" --lua="/home/mboes/src/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/9076a3f5a9f873039eaa5d3001a4c6ac/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend=pdf "./chap-one.tex"This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.63.0-2010090921 \write18 enabled.

I still get the same error messages. I also ran luatools --generate and that doesn't make a difference. I read through the typography and fonts chapters of the manual but I didn't find specific information about installing fonts. Am I doing it right? How can I get ConTeXt to recognize this standard font? Many thanks, Mathieu

two buglets
by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hi all, working on a book project with index and bibliography, I discovered two small bugs (at least I think they are bugs): 1. index sorts uppercase letters after lowercase letters. Minimal example: \starttext \index{Aardvark}Aardvark \index{azygous}azygous \page \setupregister[index][n=1] \placeregister[index] \stoptext I would expect azygous to follow Aardvark, but it is sorted before. 2. (Maybe not a bug, but a somewhat unfriendly behavior): When a \cite command refers to a non-existent key and sort=bbl, ConTeXt bombs out with a lua error: ! LuaTeX error ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:77: attempt to compare nil with number stack traceback: ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:77: in function <...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:76> [C]: in function 'sort' ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:84: in function 'flush' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \typesetpubslist ...hacks.flush("\@@pbsorttype ")} \doendoflist \dodoplacepublications ...sttrue \typesetpubslist \inpublistfalse \endgroup ... l.37 \placepublications[criterium=all] minimal example (the typo \cite[clarke199] instead of \cite[clarke1999a] is there on purpose to demonstrate the problem): \setuppublications[state=start, sorttype=bbl, refcommand=authornum, numbering=yes] \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={VSdK90},totalnumber=2] \startpublication[k=champion2004,t=book, a={{Champion}},y=2004, n=10,s=Cha04] \author[]{Craige~B.}[C.~B.]{}{Champion} \pubyear{2004} \title{Cultural Politics in Polybius's {\em Histories}} \city{Berkeley} \pubname{Univ. of California Pr.} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=clarke1999a,t=book, a={{Clarke}},y=1999b, n=9,s=Cla99b] \author[]{Katherine}[K.]{}{Clarke} \pubyear{1999\maybeyear{b}} \title{Between Geography and History: Hellenistic Constructions of the Roman World} \city{Oxford} \pubname{Oxford UP} \stoppublication \starttext \cite[champion2004] \cite[clarke199] \page \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext Could this error be handled more gracefully, i.e. intercepted? All best Thomas

Lettrines in MkIV
by Philipp Gesang 03 Oct '10

03 Oct '10

Hi all, the lettrine module leads to an error with this example and MkIV. MkII is fine. ····8<··························································· \usemodule[lettrine] \starttext \chapter{And Now: an Error} \lettrine{E}{rror} \stoptext ····8<··························································· * With Luatex 0.63.0-2010091123 I get an ``error on line 6 in file ../environ.tex: Attempt to double-free glue node 1001, ignored ...`` * Can be circumvented via “\dontleavehmode”. * Never ran into a “glue node” error before; is there general rule how to avoid them? Thanks for any advice, Philipp PS: Taco, the french blindtext in lettrine-doc.pdf has an issue concerning guillemets, which are rendered as inverted question marks and exclamation marks. I wasn't able to compile the document myself so unfortunately I can't send a patch. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
