square in Cambria font
by Sietse Brouwer 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hello Hans, The bad news: I think it's the font. The good news: here comes MetaPost to the rescue! I don't have Cambria, so I plucked a cambria.ttf file off the Internet somewhere, which contains both Cambria and Cambria Math. I don't know whether you have the same file/version, so YMMV, but it does exhibit the problem you describe. According to the lovely and free FontForge, * the WHITE SQUARE glyph (U+25A1) is 1060 units high * the SQUARED PLUS glyph (U+229E) is 1630 units high (of which 230 below the baseline). This is in Cambria Math — Cambria does does not have either of these glyphs. I suspect the square size is a design decision: that the designers decided they wanted the white square to match the letters rather than the 'squared *' operators. Anyway, here's a very close MetaPost approximation of the 'squared plus' square, made by looking in with FontForge and copying the glyph dimensions. (And then tweaking them because some things still didn't look right; didn't manage to fix everything, alas.) It scales with the font size.

Adobe Garamond Problems with letter combination "fi"
by "H. Özoguz" 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hi, \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[AGaramondPro] \starttext Amficool \stoptext gives an "i" without dot, see attachment. And the letters "i" and "f" are curiously bonded. The second attachment shows the same word written in MS-Word, again with Adobe Garamond Pro, without this curiosity. Where this comes from and how to fix? Huseyin

Header not repeating for tabulate
by Lance Larsen 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

I created a table using tabulate. I want the header to repeat, and used the following code. The table splits correctly, but the header doesn't repeat. Any idea why the header doesn't repeat? \setuptabulate[split=yes,header=repeat] \starttabulatehead \HL \NC \bf Variable \NC \bf Value \NC \bf Reference \NR \HL \HL \stoptabulatehead \starttabulate[|lw(1in)|lw(1in)|l|] \dorecurse{100}{\NC Column 1 value \NC Column 2 value \NC Ref. Column 3 value \NC \AR} \stoptabulate -Lance

square in Cambria font
by Meer, H. van der 30 Apr '13

I find an anomaly in the typesetting of $\square$ in the Cambria font. The $\square$ is significantly smaller then the corresponding filled squares like $\boxtimes$, etc. Is this intrinsic to the Cambria font? Or is some encoding wrong? I tried lmodern and lucidaot and both give squares of the same size. See the example below. Hans van der Meer \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupbodyfont[cambria,10pt] % TOO SMALL %\setupbodyfont[lmodern,10pt] % OK %\setupbodyfont[lucidaot,10pt] % OK \starttext $\square$ \string\square\crlf $\boxdot$ \string\boxdot\crlf $\boxplus$ \string\boxplus\crlf $\boxtimes$ \string\boxtimes\crlf $\boxminus$ \string\boxminus\crlf \stoptext

[***SPAM***] Footnote disappear in "placeongrid"

Hi there, in the interior of "placeongrid" footnotes disappear (not shown at the buttom). I think this is a bug? \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext A footnote.\footnote{Foo.} \placeongrid[bottom]{Footnote in placeongrid.\footnote{Foo.}} \stoptext Huseyin

Re: [NTG-context] Deactivating Grid-Setting for a single paragraph

The correction of the whitespace after the increased linespace can be calculated and compensated by half lines in the \blank command. Thansk Wolfgang. So there is not way to have an functionality like "placeongrid" with the possibility of page-breaking (or deactivating gridsetting for a paragraph, like it is by default done for titles) ? Could be a good feature for future, would help a lot when using the grid. Huseyin

Hi This issued is answered from other place. The cause of the ragged output was bodyfont. I was using a specific font for my own language by "\setupbodyfont[unfonts]". Commenting out and using default fonts gave me correct output. Jung, Jinki > > I am using context 0.6 under W7.

Deactivating Grid-Setting for a single paragraph
by "H. Özoguz" 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi there, speaking code: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext {This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}.} \blank Perfectly I good disable gridsetting for a complete paragraph. I can do so by “placeongrid”. But then another problem arises; if the paragraph is (without placeongrid) half at the end of a page, and half at the beginning of the next page, than WITH placeongrid the page-break of the paragraph is impossible, so the complete paragraph is set on the next page – resulting in many blank lines on the first page, at the buttom, of course. I tried to disable gridsetting for one paragraph only by “setuplayout” (“off”, and after the paragraph “on” again), but that does not work, too, see here:\blank {\setuplayout[grid=no] This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}. \setuplayout[grid=yes]} \blank So no effect again. My last try was to change “setupinterlinespace” before the paragraph, and change it back to default after the paragraph, but that does not work, too:\blank {\setupinterlinespace[line=4ex] This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}. \setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex] } \blank But that does not work, too. How to make this work, disabling grid-set for a paragraph? Perfectly like “placeongrid”, but with the possibility to break it into to pages:\blank \placeongrid[top]{ This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}.} \blank The problem comes here from setting arabic words into the german text, for arabic I have to use a bigger font, and so the problem simulated here arises. Thanks! Huseyin \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] table formatting mystery
by Lance Larsen 30 Apr '13

Thankyou luigi. The suggestion provided below worked. I wish I understood why context thought that a cell height to two rows were needed, but the combination of \hbox and alignment of lohi is a reasonable workaround. -Lance On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 5:02 PM, Lance Larsen <lance.c.larsen at gmail.com <http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context> > wrote: > I created the following table, but I am running into a mysterious > problem.
