MPtoPDF problem
by Michal Kvasnička 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hallo. Few days ago I migrated to Ubuntu 10.10 (Linux) and last stable ConTeXt minimals (2010.07.30 11:35 MKII) (from very old ConTeXt version). Now I found I can't run mptopdf: Command mptopdf chart.1 just prints chart.1 and an empty line Command mtxrun --script mptopdf chart.1 fails with these complaints: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010) \write18 enabled. entering extended mode [MP to PDF] (./charts08.1{/home/qasar/programy/context_stable/tex/texmf/fonts/m ap/pdftex/plain/pdftex.map}) [1] !pdfTeX error: pdftex (file lmmi9): Font lmmi9 at 600 not found ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! MPtoPDF 1.4.0 : error while processing tex file And command mtxrun --script mptopdf chart.mp starts to compile something, than reports that it cannot write the log file and asks for another file name, and eventually fails with the same complaints as above. Can you possibly tell me what to do? Many thanks. Best wishes, Michal Kvasnicka

Determining available fonts
by Tom 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

\showbodyfont & \showbodyfontenvironment display details about a single font. Which command lists or otherwise identifies fonts available for use on a Tex Live MKII system? I want to find out what fonts have been loaded onto my system. These would most likely be the standard fonts included with the on-line download. The documentation shows me how to load additional fonts but I don't yet know what is there by default. Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

bug with reference ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hi, when the lowest section is defined with "sectionstarter=(" then the entire reference gets "(" instead of only the actual section: The example below gives ... (1. (1) 1. (1) ...but the right way would be 1. (1) 1. (1) Did I make a mistake or is there a bug?

updating in texlive
by Thomas Schmitz 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hi all, a Happy New Year to all of you! Here's a small question: from time to time, as a mental exercise (and because I like a backup), I try to bring my texlive installation up to date. I have copied these relevant files over from my minimal tree: - luatex binary - mtxrun - texmfcnf.lua (with modifications, of course) then unzipped the latest ConTeXt. Everything works - but I get no hyphenation. For a simple test file like: \mainlanguage[en] \starttext \hyphenatedword{philosophically} \stoptext I see in the log file mkiv lua stats : loaded patterns - en::2 but no hyphenation is given. in a run with the minimals, I see: mkiv lua stats : loaded patterns - en::2 mkiv lua stats : language load time - 0.155 seconds , nofpatterns: 1 (the last line is not present in the log from texlive). I don't see anything wrong in cont-en.log, so I wonder how I can find out why the patterns are not applied? All best Thomas

Lua error
by Khaled Hosny 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

I get the following error with current beta (did not happen few betas ago): ! LuaTeX error ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:512: attempt to get length of upvalue 'topofstack' (a number value) stack traceback: ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:512: in function <...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:511> ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:517: in function 'fetched' ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:555: in function 'fetchonemark' ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:584: in function 'getmarking' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. Just removing the # from #topofstack on that line should do it. (sorry no minimal example, it is rather a large file and I'm not sure what is triggering the error).

TT font disregards margins
by Tom 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

I need to intersperse my text with code typed by someone else and am attempting to give the appearance of the code having been typed on a typewriter. The problem I am encountering is that the Teletyped text does not respect margin settings. What could be done to correct this? (I am running MKII on a Windows system). Example follows: \definepapersize[6X9][width=6.0in, height=9.0in] \setuppapersize[6X9][6X9] \setuplayout[ width=middle, height=middle, backspace=.75 in, topspace=.5 in, header=.25 in, footer=0 in, headerdistance=.25 in, footerdistance=0 in, bottomspace=0.9 in, cutspace=.875 in, ] \starttext WHETHER I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o'clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously. \blank[big] {\tt{WHETHER I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.
