reencode fonts with fonts.trigger
by Ulrike Fischer 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

Hello, Khaled had another idea to manipulate (reencode) fonts: He suggested to put a function in fonts.trigger. (Example below). I have some questions regarding this example: 1. Is there a basic flaw in the idea? 2. Is the interface more or less stable or will it probably change in the future? If not 3. which tables/values in tfmdata must be copied/reassigned beside the indices information? (There seem to be quite a lot informations more than once in tfmdata. E.g. I find the boundingbox in two places (descriptions and shared.otfdata.glyphs)). 4. Which tables/values must be created if I try to move a char to a place which is currently empty (like the "z" in the example)? 5. What is the recommanded lua-code to copy/reassign/remap the tables? Does a library or some helper functions exist which would make it easier to move the tables around? \directlua{ local function chess(tfmdata,value) if value then tfmdata.characters[122]={} tfmdata.indices[75],tfmdata.indices[81],tfmdata.indices[122]=tfmdata.indices[81],tfmdata.indices[75],tfmdata.indices[81] table.tofile("filechess.lua", tfmdata, true) %show table end end table.insert(fonts.triggers,"chess") fonts.initializers.base.otf.chess = chess fonts.initializers.node.otf.chess = chess } \font\test="file:SkakNew-Figurine.otf:chess=yes" \starttext \test KQzK \stoptext \bye -- Ulrike Fischer

\em around \placefigure (bug?)
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 25 Feb '11

Hello, the \em statement being placed as the first command of a paragraph to flow around a \placefigure seems to SCRATCH the figure instead of to flow around (bug?). See the minimal example: --- \starttext \placefigure [left,none] {} { \startMPcode draw (0,0)--(6cm,6cm); \stopMPcode } 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 {\em 01234656789} 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 {\em 01234656789} 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 01234656789 \input tufte \stoptext --- Best regards Lukas -- Ing.

Question regarding registertempfile
by Aditya Mahajan 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Hi Hans, Currently, luat-run.lua defines registertempfile as: function luatex.registertempfile(name) name = name .. ".mkiv-tmp" -- maybe just .tmp if trace_temp_files and not tempfiles[name] then report_tempfiles("registering temporary file: %s",name) end tempfiles[name] = true return name end Can you remove the first line of this function? (That is, do not modify the name at all). This will allow me to use this functionality to remove temporary files created by t-filter and t-vim. These files, do not end in .mkiv-tmp or .tmp. Thanks Aditya

How to disable hyphenation?
by Cecil Westerhof 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

I have a Dutch document where I use the word genereren. Because it is on the end of the line ge- is put on the end and nereren is put on the beginning of the next line. I find this quit ugly. Can I disable hyphenation, or let it behave more 'beautiful'? I searched on ContextGarden, but did not find anything. -- Cecil Westerhof

Is the git repository git://gitorious.org/context/context.git in sync with the minimals? If not, is there another revision control system repository for context that is? Marco

increase space on the left of pages included using \copypages
by Curiouslearn 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Hello, I am trying to use the \copypages command to include a pdf file, say file3pages.pdf with three pages in my context document. First, I issued the command: \copypages[file3pages.pdf] The pages from file3pages.pdf are too close to the left margin. There is not enough white space on the left whereas, there is a lot of space on the right of the included pages. So, I tried \hskip 0.5in \copypages[file3pages.pdf] This creates appropriate space on the left of the included pages, but only for the first page of file3pages.pdf. The second and third pages of file3pages.pdf are the same as before (too close to the left margin). How can I apply \hskip 0.5in to each of the pages included from the file3pages.pdf. Can someone please suggest if there is a better way to increase the space on the left. Please note that the included pages do not respect the margins I have set for the document. Thanks a lot.

including pdf
by Andrea Valle 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Hi list! I have to create the proceedings of a conference. I'm collecting A4 pdfs (from word/latex templates), and I have to stick them together, adding cover, toc etc Now, I've used copypages. The fact is that the included pdfs do not bleed over all the page, their inclusion seems to depend on some dimension I'm not able to control via setuplayout. So, I tested startpagefigure. Works fine but I can include (well, I'm able to) a single page. More, it seems that numbers of page disappear (while I need them) Any hints? Thanks a lot -a-
