[fontloader] cached fonts have invalid tounicode values
by Philipp Gesang 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hi Hans, this has been reported by Dohyun Kim [1]: the generic fontloader (not Context) serializes some tounicode values as Lua numbers, not strings. When re-reading the cache file the values lose all leading zeros, so they are no longer well-formed UTF-16BE. ... ["tounicode"]={ [2329]="E001", ... [2384]="0063006B", -- <-- correct [2385]=00630068, -- <-- invalid [2386]=00740074, [2387]=00630074, [2388]="017F0069", ... Best regards, Philipp [1] https://github.com/lualatex/luaotfload/issues/102 (Kim’s example works with luatex-plain if you comment out the ``\input luaotfload.sty`` line.) -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Overriding pdfview
by Bill Meahan 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

How does one override the default pdf viewer for MKIV Standalone on Windows 7-64 so --autopdf starts Acrobat Reader instead of "sumatrapdf.exe"? I don't have "sumatra" and do not wish to install it just to satisfy this one application. WTH is it anyway? (I know what it is, it's a rhetorical question). Making some obscure pdf viewer the default with no clear way to change it is not a good idea. For Windows, the vast majority of people have Acrobat Reader which is very often preinstalled. For Linux, it's less clear what the default should be but {xpdf |evince|acroread} are quite common. Can't speak to OSX as I've never used it but I'd bet a coffee Acrobat Reader is (or can be) there, too. I have searched through the source and tried editing l-pdf.lua but that doesn't seem to fix the problem. I shouldn't have to edit system source in any event. Mark me frustrated. -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan "The nice thing about standards is there are so many of them." -- Henry Spencer

wrong space when compressseparator is empty
by Pablo Rodríguez 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Dear Hans, I have the following sample: \showstruts \setupnote[linenote][paragraph=yes, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[linenote][alternative=serried, compress=yes, compressseparator=, distance=1em] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{500}{text\linenote{variant} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext that shows the following issue: when compressseparator is set to none, ConTeXt doesn’t suppress the distance that comes after the separator at the beginning of the line. As a general rule, I think it would make sense to always suppress distance after separator when the separator isn’t set (not only at the beginning of the line). This wouldn’t only fix the issue described above, but it would avoid that compressed linenotes have more separation space than uncompressed ones. Could you fix this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

compressed linenotes break right line range numbering
by Pablo Rodríguez 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Dear Hans, I'm afraid that there is a bug in compressed linenotes that prevents to have the line ranges to be properly numbered. Here you have a sample: \setupnotation[linenote][compress=yes] \starttext \startlinenumbering \linenote{Without this note, line numbering from ranges is right}\startlinenote[one]{This should have lines 1 to 3.}line one\\ line two\\ line three\stoplinenote[one] \stoplinenumbering \stoptext It happens when compressed linenotes are enabled and there is a linenote before the \startlinenote. In that case, only the first line is numbered, not the last. Could you fix that? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

aligning texts and not lines
by Pablo Rodríguez 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Dear list, I have the two following samples: \startstandardmakeup[align=middle] \starttyping[option=TeX] \mainlanguage[es] \setuplanguage[es][patterns={es,agr}] \stoptyping \stopstandardmakeup \startstandardmakeup[align=middle] Would that in body and spirit Shakespeare came\\ Visible emperor of the deeds of Time,\\ With Justice still the genius of his rhyme,\\ Giving each man his due, each passion grace,\\ Impartial as the rain from Heaven's face\\ Or sunshine from the heaven-enthroned sun.\\ Sweet Swan of Avon, come to us again.\\ Teach us to write, and writing, to be men. \stopstandardmakeup I would like both texts to be centered, but I don’t want the lines to be centered too. How could I get this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Using \setupinterlinespace with \setuparranging[XY], and more
by Pavneet Arora 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hello, I am using Willi's MAPS 37 and the "Example" section from the \setuppaper command: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuppaper to print a set of labels, 2x6 configuration on U.S. Letter waterproof label paper. For the most part things are working well, but I have a number of questions: 1. A difference between MAPS 37 and wiki entry for \setuppaper is the inclusion of the following line in the later: \setuplayout[location=middle] which seems to play a significant role. Otherwise, I cannot get the labels to honour the topspace and backspace specified in the setuppaper command. My question is why is this significant? What role does it play? This can be tested by simply deleting the line in the MWE below. 2. I would like to have every label "centered", i.e., \framed[alignment=center] should be set for all labels. However, including it in the setupframedtexts command doesn't seem to have any effect as shown in the MWE down below. Is there another way for all labels to inherit this alignment setting? 3. I cannot get interlinespacing to affect the line spacing even though the baselineskip variable is changed as shown in the MWE. advTHANKSance. EXAMPLE: \definepapersize [Label] [width=4in,height=3.33in] \setuppapersize[Label][letter,portrait] \setuppaper [topspace=0.4688in, backspace=0.1875in, dx=0.1875in, dy=0in, nx=2, ny=3] \setuplayout [topspace=0in, backspace=0in, margin=0in, width=4in, height=3.33in, header=0in, footer=0in] \setuparranging[XY] \setupframedtexts [width=\textwidth, height=\textheight, alignment=center, frame=off, location=lohi, alignment=center, offset=0pt] \setuplayout[location=middle] \definelayer [Label] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[schola] \setupbodyfont[rm,48pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex] \showframe \starttext \the\baselineskip\page \framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{Label 1}\page \the\baselineskip\page \framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{\definedfont[Serif at 18pt]\setupinterlinespace \the\baselineskip\crlf A long description label that needs to be have its interline spacing adjusted.}\page Label 2\page Label 3\page Label 4\page Label 5\page Label 6\page Label 7\page Label 8\page \stoptext -- ---- Pavneet Arora m: 647.406.6843 Waroc Informatik t: 416.937.9276

documents inside documents
by Pablo Rodríguez 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Dear list, I need for a document explaining some ConTeXt features, to be able to include a document inside (a page that includes the feature). I know I can create another document and then insert the pages, but it would be much easier for me to be able to have the code inside the main the document. Here is a sample of what I want to include scaled (the way an image is included) within another document: \mainlanguage[en] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en,agr}] \definepapersize[mine][width=6in,height=2in] \setuppapersize[mine] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Theano Didot] \definelinenote[contxt] \setupnote[contxt][paragraph=yes, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[contxt][numbercommand=,alternative=serried,distance=1em,compress=yes,compressseparator=] \starttext \startlinenumbering οὐκ οἶσθ᾽\contxt{οἶσθ᾽: οἶσθα, 2nd sg., οἶσδα} ὅτι πολλῶν ἐτῶν\contxt{πολλῶν ἐτῶν: for…; gen. time within} Ἀγάθων ἐνθάδε οὐκ ἐπιδεδήμηκεν\contxt{ἐπιδεδήμηκεν: pf. ἐπιδήμέω}, ἀφ᾽ οὗ\contxt{ἀφ᾽ οὗ: since; “from which (time)”} δ᾽ ἐγὼ Σωκράτει συνδιατρίβω\contxt{συνδιατρίβω: I have been spending; pres. but pf. progressive in translation} καὶ ἐπιμελὲς πεποίημαι\contxt{ἐπιμελὲς πεποίημαι: I have made it my business; “have made it my care,” pf.} \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Is there a standard way to do it with ConTeXt?

Hi all, back with a question on index entries in xml.

\centerline vs. \midaligned vs. \startalignment[middle]
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hello, there are several similar commands to produce text (or another object) to be centered on the line. What are differences (or intended usage) among \centerline, \midaligned, \startalignment[middle]? (NB: \centerline has no its-own page on wiki, but it is used at several places in wiki samples. \centerline was also mentioned here in the mailing list, when I was trying to center "tabulate" - and neither \midaligned nor \startalignment[middle] combined with \dontleavehmode worked.) TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.
