switchtobodyfont and dejavu
by Kostirya 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

Hello. I found error at switchtobodyfont with dejavu font. In the below example, switchtobodyfont not correctly worked. This is only observed when I switch from 16pt to 14pt. Switching must be across a different font. The result is attached to the letter \setupbodyfont[dejavu,16pt] \starttext \showbodyfont \blank \switchtobodyfont[gentium] \switchtobodyfont[dejavu,14pt] \showbodyfont \stoptext

How do I insert characters before \par
by Rik Kabel 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

ConTeXters, I am stymied trying to insert characters into a buffer, or failing that, to back up, removing the \par, and adding characters after the buffer is loaded. The code I am working with reduces to this: 1. % macros=mkvi engine=luajittex 2. \starttexdefinition unexpanded startABC 3. \begingroup 4. \dosingleempty\dostartABC 5. \stoptexdefinition 6. \starttexdefinition dostartABC [#SETUPS] 7. \getrawparameters[ABC][inset=2em,#SETUPS] 8. \grabbufferdata[bu:ABC][startABC][stopABC] 9. \stoptexdefinition 10. \starttexdefinition stopABC 11. \setupnarrower[left=\ABCinset] 12. \startnarrower[left,right] 13. \startlines 14. (\,\inlinebuffer[bu:ABC]\,) 15. \stoplines 16. \stopnarrower 17. \endgroup 18. \stoptexdefinition 19. \starttext 20. \startsubject[title={Test of ABC}] 21. \startABC[inset=5em] 22. “Hope” is the thing with feathers\,— 23. That perches in the soul\,— 24. And sings the tune without the words\,— 25. And never stops\,—\,at all\,— 26. \stopABC 27. \startABC 28. ABCDEFG 29. \stopABC 30. \stoptext In line 14, I prefix the buffer with(\, but\,) ends up on another line, after the \par inserted at the end of the buffer. Inlining a second buffer which contains the closing bits with (\inlinebuffer[a,b]) does the same. Can somebody suggest a path? --- Rik

symbol sets
by Henning Hraban Ramm 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

I’m trying to define a symbolset: \definefontsynonym [Webdings] [file:Webdings.ttf] \def\WebdingsSymbol#1{\getglyphstyled{Webdings}{\tochar{x:#1}}} \startsymbolset[webdings] \definesymbol [spider] [\WebdingsSymbol{f021}] \definesymbol [spiderweb] [\WebdingsSymbol{f022}] \definesymbol [sunglasses] [\WebdingsSymbol{f024}] \definesymbol [award] [\WebdingsSymbol{f026}] \definesymbol [ribbon] [\WebdingsSymbol{f02d}] \definesymbol [plane] [\WebdingsSymbol{f0f1}] % … \stopsymbolset \usesymbols[webdings] \showsymbolset[webdings] \symbol[webdings][spider] The font is included in my pdf, \showsymbolset[webdings] lists the names, but the symbols never show up. I also tried other fonts. What’s wrong? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

A question about Lucida fonts
by Otared Kavian 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Hi, I would like to buy the set of Lucida fonts from TUG https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html <https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html> but I am wondering which flavor, Open Type or Type 1, is supposed to work smoothly (and easily…) with ConTeXt mkiv. Actually a very long time ago I bought those fonts from yandy.com <http://yandy.com/>, but those were designed to work only on a Mac OS 9 (yes I am so that old… :-). Since I am sure some people on the mailing list have an experience and good advices to share, I would appreciate having their opinion. Best regards: OK

Hi again, last one for today: How can I get the part title in header?

Designing text floats
by Henning Hraban Ramm 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

And me again. I’m trying to get some info box on my page that - has a defined width - sits in the margin but protrudes into the text area - while the body text runs around it Additionally the caption (title) should sit on (in front of) the background color. Here is what I tried: \definefloat[kasten][kaesten] \setupfloat[kasten][ location=outermargin, width=4cm,maxwidth=0.33\textwidth, % doesn’t work frame=off, background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow, offset=0.5em] \setupcaption[kasten][ location=top, spaceafter=-1em, align=flushleft, number=no, style={\ss\bfa}, color=red] \def\startKasten#1{\startplacekasten[title={#1}]} \def\stopKasten{\stopplacekasten} \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth} \startKasten{Think in boxes} \input tufte \stopKasten \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth} \stoptext Problems: - width is always \textwidth - body text doesn’t flow around it - caption disappears behind the colored box Can you show me the way please?

xtable setup
by Henning Hraban Ramm 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

Hi again, I’m trying xtables with the natural tables emulation (\usemodule[ntb-to-xtb]). While it works generally, I found no way to influence the lines (e.g. frame=off) or settings like \setupTABLE[c][1,2,3][align=flushright] \setupTABLE[r][first,last][style=bold] Is this supposed to work? And is there some option to influence the spacing around tables (TABLE or xtable)? E.g. before={\blank[big]} doesn’t seem to do anything.
