table assignment in the context lua code
by Ulrike Fischer 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

font-dum.lua contains the following code snippet: local reencodings = { } fonts.enc.reencodings = reencodings local function specialreencode(tfmdata,value) local encoding = value and reencodings[value] .... end 1. Why is the assignment fonts.enc.reencodings = reencodings and not the other way round? Similar definitions in the same file use more "logical" looking assignments like e.g. "local setups = fonts.protrusions.setups" 2. How does it work? Why is the local table variable "reencodings" in the function specialreencode able to retrieve values stored later in fonts.enc.reencodings? -- Ulrike Fischer

tex-live and MkIV
by Cecil Westerhof 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

I installed tex-live 2010. It gives the same version info as the one that was installed by openSUSE: MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.09 seconds TeXExec | version 6.2.1 - 1997-2009 - PRAGMA ADE/POD Following http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeX_Live_2010 I try to do luatools --generate, but this gives: LuaTools | fileio: variable SELFAUTOLOC set to /usr/lib/texmf/bin/i586-linux LuaTools | fileio: variable SELFAUTODIR set to /usr/lib/texmf/bin LuaTools | fileio: variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to /usr/lib/texmf LuaTools | fileio: variable TEXMFCNF set to {$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/share,}/texmf{-local,.local,}/web2c} LuaTools | fileio: no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.010 seconds So I suppose that I have to set TEXMFCNF. But to what? -- Cecil Westerhof

setupunderbar not working
by Bart Wise 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

I have used the latest ConTeXt to compile the code below, but the \setupunderbar does not seem to function. If I use an older version (context: 2009.06.14) it works just fine. Is there a bug, or am I doing something wrong? \setupcolors[state=start] \setupunderbar[bottomoffset=2pt,rulethickness=12pt,rulecolor=red] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[60pt] This is an \underbar{underlined} word. \stoptext

Metafun Label and externalfigure Problem
by Lutz Haseloff 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hi all, with latest ConTeXt MKIV Metapost Labels doesn't work for me anymore. My Code: \starttext \startMPcode label(textext("Test"),origin); \stopMPcode \stoptext The Output only shows the word "mpout" as the Label. There seems to be a Problem with externalfigure too. With: \starttext \startMPcode externalfigure "blblogogr.pdf" xscaled 35mm yscaled 19mm shifted (13mm,15mm); \stopMPcode \stoptext I get the error message: metapost > loading 'metafun.mp' (experimental metapost version two) ! Emergency stop. <inserted text> ...re.mp ; fi ; ;;;;]===], false)} \processMPgraphic ...e ;\!!es , \MPaskedfigure )}} \egroup \placeMPgraphic \d... l.5 \stopMPcode ! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1>Exit code: 1 With: \starttext \startMPcode externalfigure "blblogogr.pdf"; \stopMPcode \stoptext There is no errormessage and no picture in the output. I hope, these are not all my ignorant faults, like always :-) Greetings Lutz

Can Layers be combined with \startitemize
by Curiouslearn 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

The following does not work as expected. All the items are on the same line and they overlap each other. Can someone please let me know if Layers can be combined with \startitemize...\stopitemize and if so, how to do it. Thanks, Bharat \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color, backgroundcolor=linen] \starttext \definelayer [windows] [x=3in, y=3in, width=3in, height=4in] \definelayer [apple] [x=0.5in, y=0.5in, width=2in, height=2in] \setlayer [windows] [hoffset=1cm, voffset=1cm] {Windows 7 \startitemize[n] \item Starter \item Home Premium \item Professional \item Ultimate \stopitemize } \setlayer [apple][background=color, backgroundcolor=gray]{Apple} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=windows] \page[empty] \stoptext

MnSymbol in ConText
by C. 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hello List, hello Wolfgang, I was google-ing how to use MnSymbol with context an (only) found an old mail from late '09 where you said you'd have to figure out how to use the greek letters from the text font. Any progress on that? Is there any way to use MnSymbol in context? If not, does someone know a decent alternative? And why does it work in Latex? Please tell me it's possible, I don't want to go back to Latex, context is much cooler. Greetings Christian

Dear Wolfgang, Yes, as you said, it is working. The current result of mtxrun is as following: Math-iMac:~ graph$ mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=georgia* georgia georgia /Library/Fonts/Georgia.ttf georgiabold georgiabold /Library/Fonts/Georgia Bold.ttf georgiabolditalic georgiabolditalic /Library/Fonts/Georgia Bold Italic.ttf georgiaitalic georgiaitalic /Library/Fonts/Georgia Italic.ttf georgianormal georgiaitalic /Library/Fonts/Georgia Italic.ttf I tested another english fonts whose name containing space by removing the space in the name when I call it. English fonts are working well. But the same file with the korean font is not working.

header text for each page of a chapter
by Milton Galo Patricio Inostroza Aguilera 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hi, I need that the name of a chapter appears in each page that belongs of it. For that, I use the following code: \definepagebreak [mychapterpagebreak] [yes,header] \setuphead [chapter] [page=mychapterpagebreak, placehead=no] \setupheadertexts[][chapter] \starttext \chapter{Tarjetas} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter{Linea de credito} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \stoptext This approach works perfectly, but I can't customize the text that contains the name of the chapter. I would like to show the name of the chapter with this code: \startnarrower[3*right] \crlf {\tfd \rightaligned{ CHAPTER_NAME }} \stopnarrower Why I'm doing that?... because I have a lot of framed and I want when they are send to the next page the document shows the name of the chapter that they belong (or the name of the current chapter). am I right with my approach? Regards, -- Milton
