Bug in \placefigure[right]?
by Mari Voipio 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hello! For a while I've been baffled by a weird bug where sometimes I get overset text when using \placefigure[right]. The problem appeared sometime this autumn in places where everything has worked before. This far I've (reluctantly) worked my way around the bug by using hard line breaks where needed, but the current project has so many of those spots that a more flexible solution would be nice. On the other hand, just because I have so many of them and some appeared today, I realized that the problem can be related to {\tfx } in the beginning of the line. Here's a minimal example: ============ \starttext \placefigure [right][cow] {A cow} {\externalfigure[cow]} {\tfx SET TIME/DATE} allows you to (re)set the instrument date and time. Time is set by inputting a certain amount of digits. Possible inputs are 4, 6, 8 and 12 digits. To set hours and minutes, input 4 digits. To set day of month and time input 6 digits. To set month, day and time input 8 digits. To set year, month, day and time input 12 digits. In all cases seconds can be set by separating them with a dot. The format can be seen below. \input tufte \stoptext =============== I know it is not beautiful, but I'm doing something very specific where this is needed. In a real pinch I can probably rewrite every problem sentence to put the \tfx in the middle instead of the beginning, but this still doesn't make the original problem go away. (Although I may be the only one bothered by it...) Mari PS. Hmm... Same thing if I use {\sc blabla} so while I reallly should switch to small caps, that is not the solution. PS2. I just tried with \placefigure[left] and I get overset text with it, too.

Re: [NTG-context] setuphead for in-paragraph head ?
by Jean-Guillaume 13 Jan '14

But this: \definehead [Exercise] [subsection] [after=] \starttext \startExercise [title=This is the exercise's title] The exercise's content. \stopExercise \stoptext results to: 1 This is the exercise's title The exercise's content. and I would like it to be: 1 This is the exercise's title The exercise's content. (When I can typeset that, I will see about formatting the number and so on.) I'm sorry it wasn't very clear. Now I understand that I misunderstood \startExercise{...} for \startExercise[title=...] and that's why I was confused about which newline I want to get rid of. Jean-Guillaume

kpfonts, math, type 1 font
by Elspeth McGullicuddy 11 Jan '14

11 Jan '14

Hi everybody, (best wishes for this new year by the way). There is this font: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/kpfonts Which is a postscript type 1 font, text and math. I've copied the files in the right places in the ${HOME}/texmf tree. And a call to: mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=*kp*, after a mtxrun --script fonts --reload seems to indicate that it is found by context all right. But now I haven't got the faintest idea on how to use it in a ConTEXt document -- text + math. My ConTEXt is beta not older than a fortnight. All examples I've found that could possibly apply were at least far too complicate for my understanding, also likely outdated. Regards, Chris

server downtime on Monday 2013-01-13
by Mojca Miklavec 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hi, on Monday (13th January) afternoon (European time) there might be shorter black-outs on one of the contextgarden.net servers and the ctan.ijs.si mirror. In particular this could effect the "minimals" (the standalone ConTeXt distribution) which you can also find on the mirror rsync://metatex.org/minimals and other less critical sites (subversion - only used for developers, meeting pages, ConTeXt Group, ...). The wiki won't be affected. Mojca
