Gridding-Problems with Adobe Garamond
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi there, thanks to helpful answers from here (as always:) Adobe Garamond Pro does work now. But today a new problem arises, I hope I made this example minimal enough: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \setuplayout [grid=yes] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[AGaramondPro] \starttext erscheint, aber stetig und beständig ist, hat vor Gott mehr Wert als das, das du zwar auch fortlaufend, doch ohne innere Überzeugung erfüllst. \stoptext ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It seems that gridding does not work properly here, as you see, we have an empty line after "zwar auch", why, and how to fix this? (If you do not have this font, look at the attachment.) And if the reason is not clear (as gridding conflicts some times with other rules without obvious reason), is there a workaround? Thanks!

Font size with Simplefonts
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hello, using Simplefonts, is it the correct way just to write: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[AGaramondPro] [protrusion=quality, expansion=quality] \setupalign[hz, hanging] \setupbodyfont[AGaramondPro,11.5pt] for setting the fontsize (it works). Or is there a more coherent way to set the font size with Simplefonts? Thanks. Huseyin

No indentation after \blank
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi there, I want the output of the following code: +++++++ \setupindenting[yes, small,first] \starttext \noindent Para 1. Para 2.\blank \noindent Para 3. \stoptext ++++++++ but without the explicit "noindent". More precisely I want the following: There should be an indentation in the beginning of every paragraph – but not, if there is a empty line before (even if it not achieved by "blank", but maybe because of some general rules). This rule should include, that the first paragraph should not be indented, even if it has no empty line before. Thanks. Huseyin

endnotes not placed
by Meer H. van der 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

The contextgarden tells me under Command/placefootnotes Place unplaced footnotes. Has no visible effect if location=page, but can be used to place footnotes (or endnotes) made when location=text was in effect. However nothing happens for an \endnote, but it works for a \footnote. See minimal example. Minimal example: \setupfootnotes[location=text] \starttext abc\endnote{an endnote} \placefootnotes \stoptext Hans van der Meer ConTeXt ver: 2013.03.20 10:34 MKIV fmt: 2013.3.20 int: english/english

by hwitloc＠gmail.com 11 Apr '13

I am trying to make a rounded corner dotted frame with a formula on a gray background. I can't seem to get both the background and the dotted frame working well at the same time. Here is the same mkiv macros showing three specimens. #1 is stand rounded gray background. This works #2 The grey background seems to not go up to the dotted frame of the frame is too high? #3 The dotted frame does not show up at all. Here is the mkiv file: Thanks

[mtx-package] merger output ambiguous
by Philipp Gesang 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi Hans, merging produces invalid output when concatenating a numbers into a string. Example: return 42 .. "foo" which is merged into: return 42.."foo" ^ where the dot after the number leads to a “malformed number” error. (Iirc there was a thread on lua-l about this not long ago.) Regards Philipp
