Tight interline spacing in margin notes ?
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Dear all, I use grid to typeset documents, this works all fine in main text, but in margin notes it does not seem that interline spacing is as tight. Is there any way to get tighter interline spacing in margin notes too ? Following simple MWE illustrates the situation \setuplayout[grid=both] \setupmargindata[outer][style=\tf] \starttext Foo\\ {\tfb Foo} Bar \inouter{Foo\\ {\tfb Foo}\\ Bar}Baz\\ Foo \stoptext This is a non sensible MWE where the \tfb here replaces another font with a bit taller letters (Hebrew Lamed to name). I tried \smash around these, which works but wondered if there was some other solution without using non zero height hbox. Also I’d like to avoid to increase the interline spacing if possible. Thanks a lot for any hint Best regards Joseph Canedo

Problems with old style figures and particular font
by Martin Oppegaard 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Dear list, I'm having problems getting old style figures and ligatures with the fbb font. I'm using Tex live 2014 on OpenBSD 5.9 and context version 2014.05.21 22:04. otfinfo -f fbb-Regular.otf reports that it has onum and liga, and it works fine with lualatex. I have tried with a typescript and simplefont (the fbb font is being used in all three cases); see attached examples. Do you have any suggestions? % type-fbb.mkiv \starttypescript [serif] [fbb] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:fbb-Regular.otf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [file:fbb-Italic.otf] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [fbb] \definetypeface [fbb] [rm] [serif] [fbb] [default] \stoptypescript % contex-test1.tex \usetypescriptfile[type-fbb] \usetypescript[fbb] \setupbodyfont[fbb,11pt] \definefontfeature[default][default][liga=yes,onum=yes] \starttext 1234567890 ff \stoptext % context-test2.tex \usemodule[simplefonts][size=11pt] \setmainfont[fbb Regular] \definefontfeature[default][default][liga=yes,onum=yes] \starttext 1234567890 ff \stoptext % lualatex-test.tex \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont[Numbers=OldStyle,Ligatures=Historic]{fbb Regular} \begin{document} 1234567890 ff \end{document} Best regards, Martin Oppegaard

Bug in CONTEXT/LuaTeX or just buggy font
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Hello, I have a bunch of simple fonts for Arabic/Persian. These fonts lack Latin characters, etc., so I use fallbacks to work with them. I just noticed that \high does not work with them, and have not been able to pinpoint the issue. See the MWE below. \starttypescript [serif][samim][name] \definefontsynonym[Serif][Samim] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [myfont][rm] [serif][samim][default] \setupbodyfont [myfont] \starttext %\definedfont[Samim*arabic] ۱۲۳\high{۴}۵۶. \stoptext I am using Persian digits because the font lacks Latin digits as I mentioned. If I use the \definedfont approach, I don't see the character ۴ (argument of \high) at all. With the typescript approach, the same character *is* typeset but is *not* raised; it appears on the baseline but with smaller size. Any ideas why this is happening? Could it be that some parameters, for instance, \exheight are not properly set/read for this font? Actually, I looked at the non-math fontdimens in syst-fnt.mkiv, and everything except \slantperpoint (expected) and \exheight (awkward) is non-zero. I don't know where \exheight comes from—perhaps from the height of glyph for 'x', which the font lacks—however, \emheight is 12pt, although the font also lacks a glyph for 'm'. I am also attaching the font in case that helps. Thanks, Hossein

Wrong hyphenation when using patterns={fr,agr}
by josephcanedo＠gmail.com 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Dear all, Combining patterns for french and ancien greek languages, I noticed there are wrong hyphenations at quote char as shown in following MWE. Is this expected behavior by using the patterns= key in such a way ? Using ConTeXt ver: 2016.08.08 21:28 MKIV beta fmt: 2016.8.9 int: english/English -------- \setuplanguage[fr][patterns={fr, agr}] \mainlanguage[fr] \starttext \hyphenatedword{l'homme} \stoptext --------- The above prints : l’-homme If so, what is the alternative to specify hyphenation in a text containing both french and ancient greek (the minority) words. Thanks a lot for advising, Best regards Joseph Canedo

Dotted box in a form
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Hello, I need to create a double "sign-here" form, with the space for the signature underlined with dots. The code bellow works fine and does exactly what I need. The potential question is whether there is a simpler way to achieve this, even without MP code, e.g. with only \leaders or what. ---- \installbottomframerenderer{dot} { \startMPcode picture p; p := dashpattern(on 0.1mm off 0.9mm); draw (0,0) -- (OverlayWidth,0) dashed p withpen pencircle scaled 0.1mm; \stopMPcode } \def\T{\framed[height=15mm,width=.4\textwidth,frame=off,bottomframe=dot]{}} \starttext Some text \noindent \starttabulate[|lw(.5\textwidth)|lw(.5\textwidth)|] \NC\T\NC\T\NC\NR \NC Pepa \NC Depa \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext ---- Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Hi! In the newest version (ConTeXt ver: 2016.08.08 21:28 MKIV beta fmt: 2016.8.9 int: english/english) the document \starttext $(1+1)$ and $\bigl(1+1\bigr)$ and $\Bigl(1+1\Bigr)$. \stoptext compiles to the attached file. For \big and \Big the ( is ) and the ) is (. I think this is a bug. I have not tried other sizes. Best regards, Mikael

How to define section with midaligned number and midaligned text?
by Lukáš Procházka 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hello, I need to produce a \section with midaligned number and midaligned text bellow the number, like: |<--------- text width ---------->| " I. Section Bla bla ... " I tried this: ---- \define[2]\Sec{\midaligned{#1.}\midaligned{#2}} \setuphead[section][command=\Sec,conversion=R] \starttext \section{Section} \stoptext ---- but it seems that text "Section" is shifted out somewhere... How to \setuphead[section] in a proper way? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
