Including movies in pdf files
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, I was updating the wiki entry on \externalfigures (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure) and noticed that I cannot get ConTeXt to include a movie. I tried the following \starttext \externalfigure[clip.mov] \stoptext (where clip.mov is a quicktime movie distributed with Mathematica, which I copied to the current directory). The movie file is 16K and the resultant PDF file is 4.5K, which means that the movie is not embedded in the PDF (which in itself is not a problem, because, IIUC, context does not embed the movie in the pdf file anyways). However, when I open the file in acroread 9.5.1 (on Linux), and no movie is shown in the pdf file. So, does ConTeXt support including movies in pdf files, and if so, can someone provide a minimal working example. Aditya

Hi again, > is it possible to add an option to NOT add path to Ctx binaries to PATH? >This may collide with TeXLive users, and also when one switches among more Ctx versions. There is such an option, uncheck "Set environment variables globally". >BTW: Where the new installer is available? I hope it will be added to new server distribution folder. (I asked Mojca for that). Meanwhile, use this temporary link http://www.sendspace.com/file/051tea Regards, Vyatcheslav

'kern': TrueType table and GPOS lookup feature
by Pablo Rodríguez 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hi there, sorry for bothering again with this issue, but I need to be sure in order to properly report to the font developer of FreeSerif. I have the following file: \usemodule[simplefonts][size=25pt] \definefontfeature[latins][default][script=latn] \setmainfont[FreeSerif] \starttext \showfontkerns dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par \addfs{latins} dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par \stoptext The first line has no GPOS kern enabled and the second line has it. In order to report it to the font developer (I have the problem not with ConTeXt, but with my ereader [I used ConTeXt to check the font features), I have the following questions: -In the example above, is the old TrueType kern enabled on the first line? -If not, how can I enable it, without enabling the liga or kern OpenType features? I need this to see the actual kerning form the old TrueType kern table (I suspect it hasn't the same values as the OpenType kern feature). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi, Thanks everybody for the answers converning fonts list. Now I'd like to know why the 3rd party modules are not found. I perfomed fresh install (with --extra option), then --make. fullpage and simplefonts are not found, but they are physically present in the tree (e.g. t-fullpage.mkiv in D:\contextminimal\texmf-modules\tex\context\third\fullpage) Please, what I have to do to 'install' them?

request for a few volunteers to test distribution on new server
by Mojca Miklavec 01 Dec '12

01 Dec '12

Dear ConTeXters, we will point the distribution to the new server later today (for a moment without any significant changes). Before we do that I would like to ask some of you to try out ./first-install.sh --server=distribution.contextgarden.net to make sure that I didn't do any obvious mistake on the way. The changes that I'm aware of are the following: 1.) changed names of math fonts deleting fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmath-regular.otf deleting fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyretermes-math.otf deleting fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyrepagella-math.otf fonts/opentype/public/lm-math/lmodern-math.otf fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre-math/texgyrepagella-math.otf fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre-math/texgyretermes-math.otf 2.) some font documentation is missing, I forgot to include Asana Math (fixing it) and there are some euler fonts there were not present earlier (I need to look into that) 3.) gone: /doc, /experimental, /pragma, /texlive (none of those is used, but /doc is now under /current/doc) 4.) alpha and dated context versions are gone (hardly make any sense since they are too old and hardly usable) 5.) I see lots of (so far unexplained) changes in TikZ. I didn't try to figure out what those are. 6.) I didn't set up headers/footers/icons yet to make the few semi-(non-)useful notes on the website. Mojca (PS: there are other changes on the way, but I first want to make sure that the old distribution will keep working as it did now.)

Localization
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi I want figure names to be 'Рисунок #' instead of 'Figure #'. If I remember right, it was \language[ru] that did the localization. But I get 'Figure'. How to localize figure names? Regards, Vaytcheslav

ConTeXt Minimal Installer for Windows
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

New version of ConTeXt Installer for Windows is available (v1.4). It is a GUI wizard of small size (< 2MB), which downloads latest context distribution, sets PATH for binaries, and generates format files. Then ConTeXt works out-of-the-box. Together with TeXWorks tool, it takes a few minutes from beginning of installation to writing your first document. Works fine for all Windows versions. Known issues: On my Windows 8 machine, post-install 'make' fails, but it can be run manually then. Thanks to Mojca for her help. Regards, Vaytcheslav

Sorry, must be a small mistake by me. I know you opinion on Minexamples, and in most cases you are right, but not for every question, I think. But nevertheless I will add one of course, if it might help. Thanks you. Huseyin
