[***SPAM***] Problem with simplefonts, placing of period
by Martin 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi All, I am experiencing a problem with the placement of the period "." after a sentence. In the example below it's the one after "(Englisch)." Once the line \setscript[hanzi] is uncommented, the period sits under, before or far after the closing bracket depending on borders or text before/after. The question is: Is that a bug or feature? The key impact of setscript I see is on spacing/flow of text. A small amount of Chinese text in the complete document appears the same. Thanks, Martin \usemodule[simplefonts] \mainlanguage[de] \setupsimplefonts[size=11pt] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \setcjkmainfont[AdobeSongStd][regular={* Light},italic={AdobeKaitiStd Regular},bold={AdobeHeitiStd Regular},bolditalic={AdobeHeitiStd Regular}] \setcjksansfont[AdobeKaitiStd][bold={AdobeHeitiStd Regular},bolditalic={AdobeHeitiStd Regular}] \setcjkmonofont[AdobeFangsongStd][bold={AdobeHeitiStd Regular},bolditalic={AdobeHeitiStd Regular}] %\setscript[hanzi] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout [ backspace=45mm, height=fit, width=fit, rightmargin=10mm, leftmargin=30mm, ] \starttext auf der Stufe von A1-C1 (Deutsch) bzw. \quotation{Beginner} bis \quotation{Upper Intermediate} (Englisch). \input{lorem} \stoptext

notes placed left, right aligned
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Hi, my footnotes don't behave as they did three months ago ... I wanted the footnote's number left from the footnote's text, but these numbers should be right aligned: so that the ones (eg. in "1" and "21" and "201") are exactly on top of each other any idea how to achieve this? Thanks, Steffen ------- \starttext \setupbodyfont[times,6pt] \setupnotation[footnote][alternative=left,width=12pt,distance=4.80pt] \dorecurse{111}{test\footnote{\input ward\par}} \stoptext

alternative=d gives "attr"
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Hi, \starttext \subject{Contents} \setuplist[section][alternative=d] \placecontent \section{One} \section{Two} \stoptext while the minimal example above works nicely, my more complex project adds a "attr" in front off the section number (ie. "a"): attr a) Test one 47 attr b) Test two 51 Any idea where this "attr2 comes from, and how to get rid of it?? Second question: how can I add a separator, like this: a) Test one 47 – b) Test two 51 Thanks, Steffen

Font recognition with command "context", but not with command "texexec"
by Martin Rimmler 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Hi, this might be a very simple problem, but I tried to figure it out for some time now without success. Reading manuals, searching with Google, etc. did not help. So if it actually is very simple, I herewith apologize. I really tried to solve it without the mailing list. Here is the Problem: The command "texexec" ignores the bodyfont setup. When I process the following code \setupbodyfont[gentium] \starttext This little text is enough to demonstrate the problem. \stoptext with the command "texexec /filename/", the default font is used. Only when i use the command "context/filename/.tex", context uses the font gentium. The gentium font is a truetype font and stored on my system under /usr/share/fonts. I use Linux Mint Debian Edition 201204. My .bashrc file contains the following line: export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts;/usr/share/fonts" I use the standalone version of context with pdftex. The command \contextversion returns "2012.07.27 16:41", i.e. the time I last updated it. Using the mkiv switch did not help. texexec mkiv /filename/ Any comments are welcome. Best, martin

SVG?
by Bill Meahan 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

Do recent versions of MKIV (specifically, the one in TeXLive 2012) support SVG graphics directly or is it still necessary to convert to PDF as in the wiki example? I've created a couple of items in Inkscape and can save them to PDF directly without the "automatic" background conversion but native SVG support would be better if it exists.

Limitation of mixedcolumns?

The "nested mixedcolumns" does not work properly when it reaches the bottom of the "outer mixedcolumns" here: $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: d:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2012.07.24 15:58 here is the minimal example (mostly copied from page-mix.mkiv =========================================== \setupbodyfont[5pt] \starttext \setupmixedcolumns [boxedcolumns] [n=2, balance=no] \definemixedcolumns [nestedboxedcolumns] [boxedcolumns] [n=2, background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow, color=red, strut=yes, balance=yes, backgroundoffset=0mm] \startboxedcolumns % \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf \par \input ward \par} \obeydepth \startnestedboxedcolumns \dorecurse{15}{\input zapf\par} \stopnestedboxedcolumns \par \input zapf \par \obeydepth \startnestedboxedcolumns \input zapf \stopnestedboxedcolumns \par \input zapf \stopboxedcolumns \stoptext -- Best Regards Chen

A strange problem, probably with \startitemize[columns]
by Marcin Borkowski 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hello, I am a bit afraid to gain a nickname "the itemize-column guy", but it seems that again there's a problem with this feature... Unfortunately, I did not manage to isolate the problem, so maybe it lies somewhere completely else. Anyway, sorry for spamming the list again with a complete file of one of my documents (it's all Polish to most of you anyway;)), but it compiles succesfully, but very strangely (it looks like \vsize > \paperheight) on newest ConTeXt (it used to look just fine about three weeks ago). Any clues? -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

Two questions related with bibliography
by Wei-Wei Guo 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Dear all, I have a self-made bst file in the same folder with the main tex file. I cannot figure out how to enable it. I tried \setuppublications[alternative=mybst] and \bibstyle[mybst] Both do not work. How should I do? Another question is how to set the citations in main text to be subscript? BTW, will ConTeXt drop BibTeX one day? Best regards, Wei-Wei

fit text to page
by Reviczky Adam 28 Jul '12

28 Jul '12

Hi list, I'm trying to scale a text to the textwidth and textheight by keeping the aspect ratio, using different papersizes. When the dimensions get too big I get an "Arithmetic overflow". (I'm trying to do something similar to resizebox in LaTeX: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/55394/perfectly-scale-line-paragraph…) Minimal example: \setuppapersize[A4][A4] %% [A1][A1] \showframe \starttext \scale[factor=max,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{\framed[frame=on]{!}} \stoptext Error message: !

Math operators broken in current beta

Hi, Unless I have managed to somehow mess up my installation, math operators don't seem to render in the latest beta. The following code produces only $x$ for me. Any ideas? \starttext \startformula \log x \stopformula \stoptext Best regards, Janne Junnila
