How to add a font folder with local fonts?
by Ulrike Fischer 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

How can I add a simple folder (not a texmf tree) with opentype or truetype fonts to the search path of context? I have tried with a local texmfcnf.lua and return { content = { variables = { OPENTYPEFONTS = ".;D:/myfonts//;$TEXMF/fonts/{data,opentype}//;$OSFONTDIR", }, }, } but while `mtxrun --expand-var` reports the new value the folder is ignored when I run `mtxrun --script fonts --reload`. (Side remark: I found some small problems in mtxrun while testing: mtxrun and also the wiki give as an example mtxrun --script font --list somename but correct would imho be mtxrun --script fonts --list somename Also I would have expected that "mtxrun --script base --expand-var VAR" works, but actually I needed "mtxrun --expand-var VAR".) -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Strange behavior with TikZ

Hello, If I put any image, there is no problem : the title of the section is in color and the text in black. With a graphic made with TikZ, the title and the text are in color.

Question about enumerations/before/after
by Weber, Matthias 09 Oct '17

Dear all, I have something like \defineenumeration [test] [text={Test:}, headstyle=bold, number=no, before={\startcolor[red]}, after={\stopcolor}, style=normal, title=no ] \starttext \input{knuth} \starttest \input{tufte} \stoptest \input{knuth} \stoptext When I comment out the before/after, I get paragraph breaks before and after the enumeration. How can I have them with the before/after? Thanks, Matthias

Lua problem with tagging or setups
by Rik Kabel 09 Oct '17

Consider the following almost-minimal example: \setuptagging [state=start] \setuppapersize [A6] \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \definemakeup [cover4][page=left,doublesided=no] \definelayer [isbn][width=\pagewidth,height=\pageheight] \define \Title {A Primer on Omphaloskepsis} \startsetups [placeisbn] \setlayer [isbn][preset=rightbottom,hoffset=5mm,voffset=5mm] {\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=3cm]} \stopsetups \starttext \setupbackgrounds [page][setups=placeisbn,background=isbn] \startmakeup [cover4] \scale [width=\textwidth] {\red \Title} \stopmakeup \stoptext For me (Win64, current standalone beta), compilation halts with: lua error > lua error on line 4 in file C://Users/rik/Desktop/xxx.tex: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/back-exp.lua:823: attempt to index local 'spec' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/back-exp.lua:823: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/conte xt/base/mkiv/back-exp.lua:818> (It always points to line 4 of the file, no matter the file.) When the halt is answered with a CR, the processing runs to completion with no apparent errors. When the first line is removed, or the state set to stop, compilation completes normally. When the content of the setup (the two-line \setlayer) is moved out of the setup, compilation completes normally (without regard to tagging). (I use a setup here because, in the real work on which this is based, there are other items in the layer that cannot be properly handled until after \starttext processing. -- Rik

abbreviations: \infull always in small caps
by Henning Hraban Ramm 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Ahoi, I’m trying to employ the synonyms mechanism for abbreviations, as documented: \setupsynonyms [style=italic, headstyle=bold, titlestyle=normal, synonymstyle=normal] \abbreviation{Abt.}{Abteilung} \abbreviation{ADN}{Allgemeiner Deutscher Nachrichtendienst} \abbreviation{AFL}{American Federation of Labor} \abbreviation{ANC}{African National Congress} \abbreviation{AV}{Auslandsvertretung} \abbreviation{BArch}{Bundesarchiv} \starttext \placelistofabbreviations[criterium=all] \infull{AV} \infull{AFL} \stoptext The result of \infull is always in small caps, and I don’t like that. I couldn’t find its definition in the source* nor a setup command. * http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/strc-syn.mkiv?search=… Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Setting style for \mfunction
by Aditya Mahajan 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi, In the past, it was possible to use the text font for math functions using \setupmathematics[style=normal] https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2015/082212.html However, that does not work now. Here is a minimal example: \usetypescriptfile[euler] \definetypeface[mainfont][rm][serif][pagella][default] \definetypeface[mainfont][mm][math] [pagellaovereuler][default] \definetypeface[mainfont][tt][mono] [dejavu][default] [rscale=0.8, features=none] \setupbodyfont[mainfont] \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal, ucgreek=normal, default=normal] \setupmathematics[functionstyle=normal] \starttext $sin$ vs $\sin$ \stoptext Notice that $\sin$ prints $normalsin$. If I change to `function=\tf`, even then $\sin$ uses mathrm font rather than textrm font. How do I get textrm for math functions? Thanks, Aditya

struggling with font features (sc, os)
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Oct '17

08 Oct '17

Hi font wizards, I’m trying to get rid of \sc and \os, but font features are unreliable... With default LM, only the classical variants work. With termes, heros, iwona, antykwa OTF sc and os work, while classical \sc and \os don’t. With gentium both sc work, while the font doesn’t have onum. Libertine works in all variants, Dejavu in none. Alegreya has single sc fonts, so only \sc works. Adobe Jenson Pro has smcp and onum features, but they only work with \definedfont. WTF? While I can understand most of this, the last one is confusing. What could be wrong? And how can I map an SC font to smcp feature of the Roman font? \definefontfeature[default] [mode=node,script=latn,language=dflt,kern=yes,liga=yes,lnum=yes] \mainlanguage[de] \setupbodyfont[termes,12pt] \definefontfeature[f:smallcaps][smcp=yes] \definefontfeature[f:oldstyle][onum=yes,lnum=no] \def\Sample{Hämbürgefonßy123\&-} \starttext \showbodyfont normal: {\rm\Sample}{\ss\Sample}{\tt\Sample} {\tex{os}: \os{\rm\Sample}{\ss\Sample}{\tt\Sample}} {\feature[+][f:oldstyle] otf os: {\rm\Sample}{\ss\Sample}{\tt\Sample}} {\tex{sc}: \sc{\rm\Sample}{\ss\Sample}{\tt\Sample}} {\feature[+][f:smallcaps] otf sc: {\rm\Sample}{\ss\Sample}{\tt\Sample}} {\definedfont[Serif*smallcaps at 16pt]\Sample} {\definedfont[Sans*smallcaps at 16pt]\Sample} {\definedfont[Mono*smallcaps at 16pt]\Sample} \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

We can these to the distribution then. Thank you very much, it works now. Here’s* the converted German wordlist from the selnolig package, still in the "old" single word syntax.
