imposition 2SIDE: feature request
by Thomas A. Schmitz 05 Oct '13

05 Oct '13

I know this is a bit silly, but maybe useful for a few people: the 2SIDE arrangement is nice for printing out and previewing book pages on A4 landscape. However, the arrangement has even and odd pages swapped. Would it be possible to define a scheme which does exactly the same as 2SIDE, but adds exactly one blank (unnumbered) page at the beginning of the document so odd pages end up on the right and every arranged page looks like a book spread? Thanks, and all best Thomas -- Prof. Dr. Thomas A.

Re: [NTG-context] error when installing ConTeXt Standalone
by John Kitzmiller 04 Oct '13

Maybe you need to specify the installation directory or issue tex/setuptex from inside the install folder? font-opt.lua should be in <install folder>/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base John > On 09/25/2013 12:01 AM, Mica Semrick wrote: >> Have you added the bin directory to your PATH? > > No, I invoke "source tex/setuptex", which does the same job. > > > Pablo > > >> On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 1:55 PM, Pablo Rodr?guez wrote: >> >> Dear list, >> >> I have installed a system-wide ConTeXt Standalone in Fedora 19, >> following the instructions from the wiki. >> >> But when I try to rebuild the font cache, I get the following error >> (with option verbose): >> >> resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'font-otp.lua'cannot open >> : No such file or directory >> >> I don?t know what I?m doing wrong, but I get the error as root also. >> >> Could anyone tell me what it?s wrong here? >> >> Many thanks for your help, >> >> >> Pablo

by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

Hello all, how to call \let from within Lua? I'd need to "\let\T=4" using Lua. The following code doesn't work (not so surprisingly): ---- \startluacode a = 4 \stopluacode \expandafter\let\expandafter\T=\cldcontext{a} \starttext Test \T. \stoptext ---- What's the correct way?

columns
by H. van der Meer 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

I have some difficulties with columns inside a framedtext. The example below shows that columns does not work inside framedtext, whereas simplecolumns does. However, the latter does not show rules between the columns. Can I have both? Is columns definitely not working here or is it temporarily until something is fixed? Or will simplecolumns be extended to show the rules? % test columns within framedtext \starttext \startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth] \startcolumns[n=2,rule=on,balance=yes] \input tufte \stopcolumns \stopframedtext \startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth] \blank \startsimplecolumns[n=2,rule=on,balance=yes] \input tufte \stopsimplecolumns \stopframedtext \stoptext Hans van der Meer

[***SPAM***] Fonts

03 Oct '13

Is there any utility available that can display the different fonts available for viewing. I'm not that familiar with what's available but I would like to see what fonts are already loaded and can be used by the ConteXt macro processor. Thanks

Wrong spacing using stretch effect
by Marco Patzer 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi, the stretch effect does not take the final width of the string into account. Is this a bug or a limitation? Example: \starttext (\effect[stretch]{fftabc})\par %% “c” collides with “)” (\kerncharacters[.05]fftabc) %% no collision \stoptext Marco
