adjusting sans to serif; weird solution
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 04 Nov '15

Hello list, I'm using Garamond Premier Pro and Myriad Pro as serif and sans fonts. I need to adjust their relative size so that Garamond 11pt looks like having the same weight of Myriad Pro 11pt. I found a good tradeoff reducing Myriad by a 0.85 factor. To achieve that I've used "sa" (scaled at) in \definebodyfont and "rscale" in \definetypeface (see the code below). The weird thing is that body font size 11pt is sensible only to "rscale", while body font sizes 15pt and 8.5pt are sensible only to "sa". I suspect there's something I did not understand in ConTeXt fonts. In the attachment you can see the four variations: font-adjust-none: no adjustment, Myriad looks slightly bigger at 11, 15 and 8.5pt font-adjust-only-rscale: only "rscale" adjustment, serif and sans look balanced at 11pt, but not at 15 and 8.5pt font-adjust-only-sa: only "sa" adjustment, serif and sans look balanced at 15 and 8.5pt, but not at 11pt font-adjust-sa-rscale: serif and sans always look balanced With sa AND rscale everything is ok, but WHY? What am I missing? Another question: I expect ConTeXt to use GaramondCaption instead of Garamond at 8.5pt, but this does not happen. Why? Here's the working code: \starttypescript [serif] [mio] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:GaramondPremrPro-Med] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [name:GaramondPremrPro-Bd] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [name:GaramondPremrPro-MedIt] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [name:GaramondPremrPro-MedIt] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [name:GaramondPremrPro-BdIt] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [name:GaramondPremrPro-BdIt] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [name:GaramondPremrPro,smcp] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaption] [name:GaramondPremrPro-MedCapt] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaptionItalic][name:GaramondPremrPro-MedItCapt] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaptionBold] [name:GaramondPremrPro-BdCapt] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaptionBoldItalic][name:GaramondPremrPro-BdItCapt] \definebodyfont [15pt,11pt,10pt] [rm] [tf=Serif sa 1, it=SerifItalic sa 1, bf=SerifBold sa 1, bi=SerifBoldItalic sa 1] \definebodyfont [8.5pt] [rm] [tf=SerifCaption sa 1, it=SerifCaptionItalic sa 1, bf=SerifCaptionBold sa 1, bi=SerifCaptionBoldItalic sa 1] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [mio] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [name:MyriadPro-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [name:MyriadPro-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [name:MyriadPro-It] \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [name:MyriadPro-It] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [name:MyriadPro-BoldIt] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [name:MyriadPro-BoldIt] \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [name:MyriadPro-Regular] \definebodyfont [15pt,11pt,10pt,8.5pt] [ss] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % "sa" ADJUSTMENT: WORKS ONLY FOR 15pt AND 8.5pt %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [tf=Sans sa 0.85, it=SansItalic sa 0.85, bf=SansBold sa 0.85, bi=SansBoldItalic sa 0.85, sl=SansSlanted sa 0.85, sc=SansCaps sa 0.85] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [mio] [rm] [serif] [mio] [default] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % "rscale" ADJUSTMENT: WORKS ONLY FOR 11pt %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definetypeface [mio] [ss] [sans] [mio] [default][rscale=0.85] \definebodyfontenvironment[mio][15pt][text=15pt, interlinespace=15pt] \definebodyfontenvironment[mio][11pt][text=11pt, interlinespace=12pt] \definebodyfontenvironment[mio][8.5pt][text=8.5pt, interlinespace=9.5pt] \setupbodyfont[mio,rm,11pt] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[mio,11pt] \rm 11pt: Serif text and \ss sans serif text.\par \blank \switchtobodyfont[mio,15pt] \rm 15pt: Serif text and \ss sans serif text.\par \blank \switchtobodyfont[mio,8.5pt] \rm 8.5pt: Serif text and \ss sans serif text.\par \stoptext

Vectorsigns are missplaced
by Christian Prim 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

Hello in latest beta the vector signs are missplaced: %\usetypescript[palatino] %\setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext \m{\vec{v}} \m{\vec{F}_{\rm res}} \stoptext With lm-fonts the vector sign is more or less correct over the F, but wrong over the letter v. With palatino font both are wrong. Did the syntax changed? Or is it a bug? Kind regards Christian

accented capital in XML, how to smash it?
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hello list, I have problems with accented capitals like "È" adding some vertical space to their lines. Is there a way to \smash them automatically? That's because I'm typesetting XML and not directly using ConTeXt. I tried an automatic translation with \usemodule[translate] \translateinput[È][\smash{È}] ... \enableinputtranslation but it does not work.

More ebgaramond issues (newotf, finding fonts and kerning)
by Rik Kabel 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Three problems with ebgaramond. * With the new otf loading facility, kerning is not done. * With the new otf loading facility, the regular 8pt face is not found. If one is changing font size via \tfxx, the font size is not changed. If one is changing font size via \switchbodyfont[8pt], Latin Modern 8pt is substituted. * With the oldotf module loaded kerning is as expected for the 12pt regular face, the 8pt regular face, and the 8pt italic face. The 12pt italic face, however, is not kerned. %\usemodule[oldotf]% uncomment to see previous otf handling \showfontkerns \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond] \def\Test{Vowel Tavern Tomato {\it Vowel Tavern Tomato}\par} \starttext \Test {\tfxx \Test} \switchtobodyfont[8pt] \Test \stoptext This was tested on W10/64 using ConTeXt ver: 2015.10.09 21:28 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.11.1 int: english/english, with EBGaramond files version 0.016 (April 2014) installed in C:\Windows\Fonts.

Is this a problem with my font installation, or is it a general problem? -- Rik

New btx code problem with quote protrusion, redux
by Rik Kabel 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

At Wolfgang’s request, a new thread for this subject. I have cleaned up the example from the July 5 posting, but the problems are the same as shown there. In July Alan suggested that there might a bug here, but nothing has been done to address it since then. Wolfgang suggested (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg35580.html) that method=font is required for proper protrusion handling for quotations. 1. When \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] is present /and //there is //no citation//in a footnote within a startquotation block and a bibliography is produced/, compilation proceeds normally. 2. When \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] is present /and //there is a citation//in a footnote within a startquotation block and a bibliography is produced,/ the compilation complains of a missing right curly. When allowed to continue to completion the protrusion for the opening quotation marks does not match the protrusion for similar marks not produced through \startquotation. Citations in footnotes outside quotation blocks are not a problem. Without a bibliography (\placelistofpublications) 3. When \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] is present, the [right] option of \startblockquotation is treated as text within the quotation. This can be resolved by adding “leftmargin=” to the \setupdelimitedtext[quotation] command (but that complicates matters when you want other alignments). Similarly, the [left] and [middle] options are ignored as options and appear as text. 4. When “method=font” is not present, protrusion for block quotations (\startblockquotation … \stopblockquotation) is greater than and not aligned with other protrusion. 5. When “method=font” is not present, protrusion for non-block quotations (\quotation{…}) is not done at all. 6. With the older bibliography system, footnotes in citations in quotation blocks do not cause a halt in compilation. 7. With the older bibliography system, item 3 is still a problem, that is, method=font appears to be inimical to the left, right, and middle options for \startblockquotation without regard to the bibliography system in use. \showframe \definefontfeature [default][protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hz,hanging] % The next line should allow \startquotation to protrude quotes properly \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] %================== % For testing with old regime, enable next and disable following %\setupbibtex[database=sample.bib] % requires sample.bib in current directory %------------------ % For testing with new regime, disable above and enable following \definebtxdataset [sample] % finds and uses distribution sample.bib \usebtxdataset [sample.bib] %================== \starttext \startparagraph There is a citation in the footnote to this standard paragraph\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[Eijkhout1991].} \stopparagraph \startparagraph \startquotation[right] There is a citation in the footnote to this block quotation\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[hh2010a].} \stopquotation \stopparagraph \startparagraph \startquotation[right] There is no citation in the footnote to this block quotation\footnote{This footnote has no citation.} \stopquotation \stopparagraph \startparagraph \quotation{There is a citation in the footnote to this non-block quotation paragraph\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[Eijkhout1991].}} \stopparagraph \startparagraph \quotation{There is no citation in the footnote to this non-block quotation paragraph\footnote{This footnote has no citation.}} \stopparagraph \startparagraph “There is a citation in the footnote to this standard paragraph\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[Eijkhout1991].}” \stopparagraph \startparagraph “There is no citation in the footnote to this standard paragraph\footnote{This footnote has no citation.}” \stopparagraph \blank[big] %================== % For testing with old regime, enable next and disable following %\placepublications %------------------ % For testing with new regime, disable above and enable following \placelistofpublications %================== \stoptext -- Rik

\fetchmark broken despite change in strc-mar.mkiv with fix
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 01 Nov '15

01 Nov '15

Dear all, I saw that \fetchmark command broken and applied the (small) change as explained in http://www.mail-archive.com/dev-context%40ntg.nl/msg02349.html but the command is still giving wrong marks in headers. Is there any other fix or should I run some command after having modified the strc-mar.mkiv file ? I need to use \fetchmark in a if command and I understand \getmarking is not usable for this. Many thanks Best regards Joseph Canedo
