Length of section line in a table of contents
by Charles 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi, In the following example, the section titles are long. In the table of contents, the section titles are written like normal paragraph (ending at the rightmost, with the page number). With an older version of Context beta (about a year ago), the paragraphs with the section title were shorter and not overlapping with the page number. How can I obtain again that property? Thanks Charles \starttext \section{Text and more text and even more text and still more text till it stops} \section{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, maecenas malesuada, ut tellus ac a egestas donec, lectus aliquam, purus orci fermentum porta sed. Ut quis risus suspendisse, convallis vel velit suspendisse amet diam urna, erat auctor vestibulum nec amet lorem, at fringilla cursus aenean donec dui at. Neque duis luctus netus magna, orci nulla vivamus consectetuer nulla, amet felis in sodales dictum parturient ipsum, consequuntur malesuada.} \section{Vestibulum ut pretium fringilla dui dui odio, pellentesque arcu leo id. Malesuada curabitur, urna nostrum mauris lobortis, ante luctus donec a, congue arcu placerat dictum non integer, nulla non.} \completecontent[criterium=all] \stoptext

Linebreak in a framed for a chapter setuphead
by Charles 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi, I have a problem with the following definition of chapter header. I would like to have the chapter title on the left side and the number, with higher size, on the right side. The \mychap seems to work while used directly. Any solution? Thanks Charles \def\mychap#1#2{\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,align=flushleft,bottomframe=on]{\tfa#2\hfill\tfd#1}} \setuphead[chapter][command=\mychap] \starttext \chapter{INTRODUCTION} \mychap{2}{MANUAL} \stoptext

Hi, when I run (vers. 20120116) this minimal product with MyProduct.tex, I get "??" instead of the pagenumber for \at[abb:n] to \pagereference[abb:n]. Is there a fix, or did I do a mistake? Steffen -------

Overprint of footnotes
by Honza Hejzl 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi I am trying to shape my pdf for preflight. There is a problem with overprint (normal in case of a black text on a white page – 1/1 printing). If I use: \definecolor[cmykblack][c=0,m=0,y=0,k=1] \setupcolors[ rgb=no, cmyk=yes, intent=overprint, textcolor=cmykblack ] … everything seems to be ok but footnotes. With some tweaking with commands like \def\over#1{\startcolorintent[overprint]#1\stopcolorintent} it is possible to (at least) make those tiny numbers of footnotes overprinted. But I am not able to do it with text (using of \textcommand does not work). Is there any simple solution for that? [ Answers like "What do you need that for? or "Ask them if they are capable to print it as it stands." are forbidden! :o) ] Thanks, Honza Hejzl

(And this is not a solution! :o)) In nowadays it is the client who choose the specific printing office, my situation is the same. That printing house demands expecially this: PDF file must be version *1.3* Embed the typeface in the document along with the image data. Avoid using OPI commentaries! The typefaces used may be of the following standards: * Type1*, *TrueType*, *and Opentype*. As a matter of principle, the data is provided as a composite (not separated). Formats other than PDF are accepted only after prior agreement. The PDF provided file should especially not contain any kind of meta-information, hypertext link, etc. Everyone in printing industry *knows* what does it mean "to embed fonts", it is similar like when somebody wants pdf x-1a file (in printing industry the standard). I am not a programmer, I don't know what does it mean in a code point of view. Trust me, embedding of fonts is the standard ("if you are not able to provide us the file as we need, your client should find another typesetter" - who typesets in InDesign). InDesign subsets typically just fonts used for texts where is not used 100 % of alphabet (pdf export settings). Honza P. S. Some inspiration could maybe provide the Scribus, it has nice pdf export possibilities, better than InDesign itself! P. P. S. I have sent this to Hans and after that found your answers here, so I am sending similar info.

Font embedding
by Honza Hejzl 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi, does anybody know how to really embed fonts into a pdffile? I have checked and read many conversations on that topic here but without the real solution (just a tons of arguments about "how problematic/unethic it could be"… and so on). I know well MKIV subsets all fonts. Yes, it is really good but it does not satisfy 99 % of modern printing offices. Embedding of all fonts is very typical demand of them. I really need it, sometimes it is not good or possible to discuss with a printing office "why to use my file instead of the one you are demanding". I will appreciate any info. Thanks, Honza Hejzl
