Italicized Trailing Space
by Kip Warner 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Hey list, I'm finding that when I change the formatting for some words to \it, the first letter following the ending of that formatting seems to be too close to the last italicized character. Is there any way to increase this? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

System font handling problems in MacTeX 2011 dist
by Dr. Joel Carpio Mendoza 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Good day! Tried to typeset a document using a template I created using MacTeX 2010. Below are the font setup lines that I used: \definefont[hla][abalone at 10pt] \definefont[hlb][bigcaslon at 10pt] \definebodyfont[9pt,10pt,11pt,12pt][rm,ss,tt,mm][default] \definefontsynonym[Serif][MinionPro-Regular][encoding=utf8] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold][MinionPro-Semibold] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic][MinionPro-It] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][MinionPro-SemiboldIt] \definefontsynonym[SerifCaps][MinionPro-Medium][features=smallcaps] \definetypeface[cb][rm][serif][MinionPro-Regular][default][encoding=utf8] \setupbodyfont[rm,9pt] In MacTeX 2010 and MacTeX 2011, I have no problems typesetting text marked with \hla or \hlb. However, when it comes to the body font, I am only able to successfully typeset using the specified fonts in MacTeX 2010 but not in MacTeX 2011. What happens in MacTeX 2011 is that the body font remains the default modern latin fonts. It seems like \definefontsynonym in MacTeX 2011 does not map the specified font (e.g. MinionPro-Regular) into Serif. As is, the only way I can use system fonts in the body would be to use \definefont definitions of the desired system fonts into \tf, \bf, \it, \bi, etc. tags. Is there a way to go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. joel mendoza

regressions in MkIV? (setupstructureblock, setuplayout[right/left])
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

There seem to be some instabilities in MkIV... For the records: \setupstructureblock was named back to \setupsectionblock At some time in history, I could define different layouts for right and left pages like \setuplayout[right][rightmargin=10mm] This syntax isn't valid any more - what's the new way?

weird Spanish date default formatting
by Pablo Rodríguez 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

Hi there, compiling this minimal document: \mainlanguage[es] \starttext \currentdate\par \date \stoptext I get 7 agosto 2011 7 agosto 2011 Being a Spanish native speaker, excuse me, but I guess it makes no sense for a date. Default formatting should read: day,{ de },month,{ de },year, which would give "7 de agosto de 2011". Could you fix this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Indentation as in itemize
by Cecil Westerhof 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

When you use itemize text is neatly put under each-other. I have the folowing in a macro: \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\bullet\space #1} \eTR When text is overflowing to the following line, the text starts under the bullet. I would like it to start under the character after the space, just like in itemize. How would I do this? As a hack I now use: \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\startitemize \item #1 \stopitemize} \eTR This does what I want, but I do not find it very pretty. (I have also the feeling that it makes the compilation time longer.) -- Cecil Westerhof

[***SPAM***] Tried TeXLive 2011 - Failure of Mkii and Mkiv
by Michael.Urban＠jpl.nasa.gov 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

After running with TeXLive 2008 for some time, I decided to try the TeXLive 2011 dist and try to get 'caught up' with more recent developments. I am on a Mac, and the MacTeX distribution installed everything as expected in /usr/local. But things do not work as expected. With Mkii, doing 'texexec file.tex' on a simple file succeeds, but the result file is a .dvi file, not a .pdf file as expected. This is quite surprising, since the output indicates that pdftex is being loaded: TeXExec | processing document 'thing.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file thing.top TeXExec | using randomseed 583 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011) restricted \write18 enabled.

lpeg splitter
by Peter Rolf 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi, I'm currently trying to adapt my MP specials to the 'new' plugin handler. My actual problem is the splitting of the 'ssh_colors' string with lpeg. Sadly my knowledge about lpeg is nearly zero and it would take me a few days to understand this (my mind is already contaminated with 'regular expressions'). How do I split the 'ssh_colors' string ["ssh_colors"]="1:1:0 0.949:0.729:0 0.894:0.514:0 0.835:0.341:0 0.776:0.216:0 0.706:0.125:0 0.631:0.063:0.588 0.549:0.027:0.953 0.443:0.008:0.953 0.318:0:0.588 0:0:0", to get the single color strings (r:g:b) in say 'col[i]'? Regards, Peter

A couple of setupcaptions questions
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi all I'm trying to setup captions for figures with mkiv. I found this page on the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setupnumbering Using both these: \setupcaptions[way=bysection,prefixsegments=section] \setupformulae[way=bysection,prefixsegments=section] formulae are numbered as expected but captions are not, the prefix is lacking. My next question is, how to replace the word "Figure" in the caption by another one? Sorry if these have been discussed before... Thanks, -- Jean
