standalone / setuptex on ARM
by Philipp Gesang 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hi, when setting up Context for my phone, I noticed the ARM binaries that come with the Standalone don’t work because the system is armv7l soft-float: $ gcc -v Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=gcc COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.6/lto-wrapper Target: arm-linux-gnueabi Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Debian 4.6.3-14' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --program-suffix=-4.6 --enable-shared --enable-linker-build-id --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.6 --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --with-sysroot=/ --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes --enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-plugin --enable-objc-gc --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-arch=armv4t --with-float=soft --enable-checking=release --build=arm-linux-gnueabi --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-linux-gnueabi Thread model: posix gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) Since I’m supplying my own Luatex binary that’s no problem per se, I just had to modify setuptex a bit. Could we add a couple lines like the attached patch to the script? I’m under the impression that “armel” is a Debian specific term so feel free to change it. Though it might be better in general to use the “arm-linux-gnueabi” and “arm-linux-gnueabihf” triplets to separate the platforms. Best, Philipp

armhf luatex binary from the context minimals
by Lutz Haseloff 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hi all, i finally got the context minimals working on my phone. I use GNURoot (Debian Jessie). first-setup.sh works as expected. Only one problem remains. The luatex binary: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/luatex/linux-armhf/bin/luatex This is LuaTex, Version 0.98.1 (TeX Live 2017/dev) ignores interword spaces completely. \starttext Test Test\kern 1cm Test \stoptext results in "TestTestTest" in the pdf. I helped myself and copied the luatex binary from the texlive binary archive to my phone. ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2016/texlive-20160523-bin.tar.xz But i would like to try out the greatest and latest features of luatex. Is there a way to get the context minimals luatex binary properly working? Greetings Lutz

Me once again, a little bit trouble here

Hallo Alan, and list! Maybe someone has seen, what correspondence Henri Menke and i had. Now I have the following trouble: As you can see, I have two sections in the backmatter. I did, like Henri wrote to me, but I have two authors, which should be in two different sections: Truman in the first section: Allgemeine Literatur and Eriksson in an second section : Ich. Why are the titles in two sections? Iam sorry for the long text, but so you can understand, what I mean. Example: \startbuffer[biblio] @book{ErikssonBaaz2005, author ={Eriksson, Maria} title = {The Paternalism of Partnership. A Postcolonial Reader of Identity in Development Aid.}, year = {2005}, } @electronic{Truman1949, author = {Truman, Harry}, title = {Inaugural Address}, year = {1949}, note = {Letzter Zugriff: 10.07.2013}, url = {http:// www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=13282}, } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[eriksson][biblio.buffer] \usebtxdataset[truman][biblio.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \definebtxrendering[eriksson][apa][dataset=eriksson] \definebtxrendering[truman][apa][dataset=truman] \setupbtxrendering[continue =yes] \starttext \startchapter[title={Einleitung:"Entwicklung" Behindern?}] \startnarrower[left, right] \en More than half the people of the world are living in conditions approaching misery. Their food is inadequate. They are victims of disease. Their economic life is primitive and stagnant. Their poverty is a handicap and a threat both to them and to more prosperous areas.

bug in font rendering?
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 21 Aug '16

21 Aug '16

Hello, I may be doing something wrong but see the difference at the end of the first line in the PDF (produced from CONTEXT) and the corresponding rendering in Chrome. I observe this issue whenever there is a U+08F0 (or U+08F1 or U+08F2). The two sides of this diacritic sign are not joined. The other issue is with small gaps in between some letters and/or bad connection points. See the second and third lines in the PDF. Thanks, MHB

Dotted characters
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Hello, I'm preparing a child copybook. I'd like to write a uppercased letter "as is" followed by its shape drawn with dots - something like /\ . / \ . . /____\ ..... / \ . . I guess that some MP "trick(s)" might be used; also, a "simple" font should be used to be drawn dotted, which uses "single drawings" to draw each line of the character. Could anybody help with such (MP) code? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

\getscaledglyph for width-only
by Brian R. Landy 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to call \getscaledglyph to scale a glyph only horizontally, leaving the height untouched? Or maybe an alternate command? I can sort of accomplish this with (for example) \scale[sx=0.75,sy=1.0]{}{A}, but that encloses the glyph in an \hbox, which can be problematic. \getscaledglyph doesn't cause me any problems, except that it scales the height too. Thanks! Best regards, Brian
