Avoid system fonts
by Jörg Hagmann 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Loading the fonts (?) takes too much time -- or maybe the programme is stuck, I don't know because I interrupted after a very long time at: fonts > names > globbing path '/System/Library/Fonts/**.ttf' How can I avoid that, I don't use system fonts. Sorry, searching the mail archive is not possible at the moment. Mac 10.7.5 Context version 2013.11.05 09:50 Thanks, Jörg

internal mptopdf conversion fails on older mps file (using MkIV, beta 2013.12.26)

03 Jan '14

The MkIV internal mptopdf converter fails on the following minimal example. Here is the tex: ------- cut test2.tex here ------------- \enabletrackers[graphics.conversion,graphics.inclusion,fonts.mapfiles,fonts.loading,fonts.missing,fonts.mapping] \starttext \externalfigure[fig.1][frame=on] \blank \externalfigure[fig-1.pdf][frame=on] \stoptext ------- cut test2.tex here ------------- And here is the figure, which was produced with mpost 0.993 (and also converted to fig-1.pdf using the 'mptopdf' command): -------- cut fig.1 here ------------ %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 %%BoundingBox: 0 0 10 10 %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 9.96262 9.96262 %%Creator: MetaPost 0.993 %%CreationDate: 2009.10.21:1318 %%Pages: 1 %%BeginProlog /bd{bind def}bind def /hlw{0 dtransform exch truncate exch idtransform pop setlinewidth}bd /vlw{0 exch dtransform truncate idtransform setlinewidth pop}bd /l{lineto}bd/r{rlineto}bd/c{curveto}bd/m{moveto}bd/p{closepath}bd/n{newpath}bd /C{setcmykcolor}bd/G{setgray}bd/R{setrgbcolor}bd/lj{setlinejoin}bd/ml{setmiterlimit}bd /lc{setlinecap}bd/S{stroke}bd/F{fill}bd/q{gsave}bd/Q{grestore}bd/s{scale}bd/t{concat}bd /sd{setdash}bd/rd{[] 0 setdash}bd/P{showpage}bd/B{q F Q}bd/W{clip}bd %%EndProlog %%Page: 1 1 0.7 G n 0 0 m 0 9.96262 l 9.96262 4.98131 l p F P %%EOF -------- cut fig.1 here ------------ Running it through MkIV with the 2013.12.26 beta (or the stable context) produces an empty frame for the inclusion of fig.1, but the correct triangle for the inclusion of fig-1.pdf. The empty frame has the correct size, so the parser is getting at least as far as the bounding box. If I regenerate fig.1 using a recent metapost (1.803), the mps file is simpler, and it is incorporated correctly by context. -------- cut fig.1 produced with recent metapost here ------------ %!PS %%BoundingBox: 0 0 10 10 %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 9.96262 9.96262 %%Creator: MetaPost 1.803 %%CreationDate: 2014.01.02:1250 %%Pages: 1 %%BeginProlog %%EndProlog %%Page: 1 1 0.7 setgray newpath 0 0 moveto 0 9.96262 lineto 9.96262 4.98131 lineto closepath fill showpage %%EOF -------- cut fig.1 produced with recent metapost here ------------ Here is the source file: --- cut fig.mp here ----- def darkshaded = withgreyscale 0.70 enddef; beginfig(1) fill (origin--(0,1)--(1,1/2)--cycle) scaled 10pt darkshaded; endfig; --- cut fig.mp here ----- -Sanjoy

current

Hi, I uploaded a current. As we're now moving forward to luatex 0.80 (with currently 0.78 as beta) the current reflects the < 0.78 state of affairs. From now on betas might use new luatex functionality so best update to 0.78+ (unless i mess up too much older luatex's will work ok too). The upcoming months the redone bibtex support will also en dup in the code base (given that it passes Thomas and Allan quality assessments). The minimals are now windows 32 and windows 64 aware. There are two installation zips on the garden. If you're on 64 bit but still run 32 bit, you can best - wipe context/bin (where the installer files live) - unzip the new installer zip - remove the status file - remove context/tex/texmf-mswin (the new binaries are in context/tex/texmf-win64) and run the status-update script. Or just install the while lot fresh (which is fast anyway), and keep the old trees for a while. Thanks to Akira for supporting 64 bit and keeping up so fast, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, The current windows version on the garden is broken, so don't update for a few days. The binaries will be fixed asap (but these are not the easiest days for this kind of things).
