Define font based on language
by Michal Ondrejáš 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hello I need some help regarding font definitions. The situation is like this: \definefont [issuefont] [SansRegular at 14pt] .... {\issuefont \labeltext{issue} \crlf \documentvariable{issue}} I need to get chinese text into the issue variable, but for that I need to change the font. I need something like this: \def\chooseissufont{% \translate [zh={Sim Sun}, en={SansRegular}]} \definefont [issuefont] [\chooseissuefont at 14pt] Using "zh" is ok, I managed to somehow make ConTeXt accept the "zh" language code. It's not perfect but it's for another topic. I get the text in this way, but the sizing doesn't work. The text is too small in all languages. Any dieas Thank you, Michal

searching in subdirectories with project structure
by Javier M Mora 06 May '16

06 May '16

Hi, (this is my first email to the list) I've created a project for my Thesis. The file tree is: /prod_thesis/ /prod_thesis.tex /envi_thesis.tex /comp_chap1/ /comp_chap1.tex /envi_chap1.tex /images/ /image1.jpg /image2.jpg (...) /tables/ /table1.tex /table2.tex (...) /comp_chap2/ /comp_chap2.tex /envi_chap2.tex /images/ /image1b.jpg /image2b.jpg (...) /tables/ /table1b.tex /table2b.tex (...) (...) envi_chap1.tex has: \startenvironment envi_chap1 \product prod_thesis \usepath[images] \usepath[tables] \stopenvironment comp_chap1.tex has: \startcomponent comp_chap1.tex \product prod_thesis \environment envi_chap1 blah blah blah \placefigure[here][fig:img1]{img1}{ \externalfigure[image1.jpg] } blah blah blah \input tables/table1 blah blah blah \stopcomponent prod_thesis.tex has: \startproduct prod_thesis \environment envi_thesis blah blah blah \component comp_chap1 \component comp_chap2 (...) \stopproduct and finally, envi_thesis.tex has: \startenvironment envi_thesis \usepath[{comp_chap1,comp_chap2}] blah (about styles) blah \stopenvironment If I cd into comp_chap1 dir and exec: texexec -xtx comp_chap1.tex the chapter1 is generated without any problem. All images and tables are inserted ok. But if I cd into prod_thesis and exec: texexec -xtx prod_thesis.tex all images are replace by "dummy images", and tables are not found (raising an error in compilation of document). In prod_thesis compilation (is it correct to say "compilation of document"?), context is looking for file /prod_thesis/tables/table1.tex but isn't not looking in /prod_thesis/comp_chap1/tables/table1.tex. I've created a copy of tables in /prod_thesis/ and document compiled good. But i don't like to pollute prod_thesis directory. Questions: What is the canonical way to keep subdirectories of dependencies in a component? (to be reused later in product compilation) I thought \usepath was to indicate where look for input files. I have to use "\input tables/table1" to find table 1. \usepath didn't work in envi_chap1.tex. Cheers.

Duplex printing problem!
by Geert Verhaag 05 May '16

05 May '16

Hi, I try something like this: *\definepapersize[BOOK][width=270mm,height=195mm]** **\setuppapersize[BOOK][A4,landscape]* while my *\setuplayout* command contains: *location={doublesided,left}* among other settings. I would expect that the BOOK-page on the front and back side would move to the correct corner, but that doesn't seem to happen. Both on the front and back are shifted to the left!? I'would expect them to alter position between left and right! What am I doing wrong? Regards, Gerard Verhaag By the way running context --version yields the following info: mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /home/verhaag/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2013.08.11 20:23

Garamond Premier Pro font goodies file
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 03 May '16

03 May '16

Hello list, I'm using the Adobe Garamond Premier Pro font. It has 4 optical sizes: Caption, Normal, Subhead, Display. I tried to modify ebgaramond.lfg to adapt it to Garamond Premier Pro. You find it as an attachment. I don't know how to use that goodies file to see the different optical sizes in a document. I've tried this: \loadfontgoodies[GaramondPremierPro] \definefontfamily [default] [rm] [tf=name:GaramondPremierPro-Regular, it=name:GaramondPremierPro-Italic] \setupbodyfont[default,12pt] \dostepwiserecurse {6} {22} {1} { \definebodyfontenvironment[default][#1pt][text=#1pt,em=italic] } \starttext \dostepwiserecurse {6} {22} {1} { \switchtobodyfont[#1pt] \purefontname\font: \input tufte \blank } \stoptext but it does not work. Any help? Thanks in advance, Massi To Hans: if you find it useful for Context, you can add and/or modify it to the distribution. You can also change the author to yourself.

RTL \definedescriptions
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 01 May '16

01 May '16

Hello Hans and Wolfgang, I tried different options in \definedescription and compared LTR and RTL behavior. There are certain inconsistencies/bugs in the RTL setting. Attached you can see a TeX file and the resulting PDF, trying different options. The first two pages consider different parameters in the LTR setting and then the same come in the RTL environment. In the following I use alt instead of alternative. Here are the issues I noticed: 1) Why isn't the head text consistently mirrored in the RTL environment? It happens only in alt=serried. 2) Option hang=2 produces a strange result for RTL. The hanging part appears on the opposite side of the head text, which somehow pushes the head text outside the text area. 3) Option alt=top for RTL still puts the head text on the left-hand side. 4) I expect the LTR and RTL versions of the same settings to mirror one another, but they do not. Although LTR/alt=left and RTL/alt=right look pretty similar (and so do LTR/alt=right and RTL/alt=left), but these pairs do not mirror one another. In particular, there is some space to the right of the head text in LTR/alt=right, while there is none to the left of LTR/alt=left. The same thing shows in the margin alternatives where the distance between the head text and the body is different in RTL and LTR. —MHB

Dear list, I have the following sample: \showgrid \setuphead[chapter][after={\blank[10*big]}] \starttext \chapter{Knuth} \input knuth \chapter{Zapf} \input zapf \chapter{Knuth\\\&\\Zapf} \input zapf\par\input zapf \stoptext How could I have the text after the chapter heading with a fixed distance, no matter how many lines the title itself has? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Strange bug in the latest version of ConTeXt
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 01 May '16

01 May '16

Hello ConTeXist. I have just installed the latest version of ConTeXt standalone. When I compiled an my old source code, I received an error: ! You can't use `\Ustopmath' in restricted horizontal mode! You can't use `\Ustopmath' in restricted horizontal mode! You can't use `\Ustartmath' in restricted horizontal mode! Inline math should end with \Ustopmath This strange error is caused something in my extensive library for handling CSV files. I'm not sure why, because in library I am not use with any mathematical mode. I am sorry, but at this moment I am not able to reveal the mistake to be able make a minimal example. Some of the older versions (not necessarily penultimate) worked without problems. Is there someone who help me start look from which point look for a mistake in my code library? Thanks for the information. Jaroslav Hajtmar

Problems with ttc-fonts
by Ulrike Fischer 01 May '16

01 May '16

I was playing with the addfeature handler mentioned here https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/083952.html and run into a problem with ttc-fonts: \starttext \directlua{ fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { name = "oneb", { type = "substitution", data = { ["1"] = "period", }, }, "feature test", } } \font\test= name:LatinModernRoman:+oneb \test 1234567890 \font\test= name:cambria:+oneb \test 1234567890 \stoptext This gives: .234567890 p234567890 So with latin modern it works fine, while with cambria the first letter of the substituation is used. The used fonts are: filename=lmroman10-bold.otf filetype=otf format=otf foundname=D:/context-minimals/context/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman10-bold.otf usedmethod=database filename=c:/windows/fonts/cambria.ttc format=ttc foundname=c:/windows/fonts/cambria.ttc usedmethod=direct (I have no idea why the bold version of lm is used, but I don't care now) Looking at the tma I see one difference between both fonts: glyphs in cambria have no "name". A typical entry looks like this [46]={ ["boundingbox"]={ 109, 0, 311, 232 }, ["index"]=484, ["unicode"]=46, ["width"]=420, }, while with latin modern it looks like this: [46]={ ["boundingbox"]={ 81, 0, 237, 156 }, ["index"]=88, ["name"]="period", ["unicode"]=46, ["width"]=319, }, Is is normal that glyph of ttc-fonts have no name data? If yes how should one do substituations in such fonts? -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
