Re: [NTG-context] is it useful to use the option "--fonts=all" when running first-setup-sh?
by Andres Conrado 26 Jun '19

26 Jun '19

Tank you very much Pablo. I'll try that. They are proper latex fonts, tho, so I'm no sure that will do. I also have a background i humanities and book design, but I'm now making math books, go figure. It's very interesting from a typographic point of view. Now I'm more interested in seeing what happens with the last code I sent here, in another message... "Strange behavior in somewhat complex layout" Maybe nobody noticed it. I hope I can figure that out.

luatex-fonts-merged.lua broken?
by Ulrike Fischer 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Hans, we think that luatex-fonts-merged.lua is broken: It contains in line 8594 return characters.indicgroups (from luatex-basics-chr.lua) and such a return statement is a problem in a merged file. -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Re: [NTG-context] ntg-context Digest, Vol 180, Issue 23
by Andres Conrado 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Thanks, Pablo. I am assuming I need to have Utopia installed in my usual font folder. I tried with Erewhon (I have otf files for that) and it works. Thank you. In a related note, is there any reasonable way to use the latex math font *Math Times Pro 2* (https://www.pctex.com/mtpro2.html)? I know a latex user who bought that font and I wonder if I can convince him to get on the ConTeXt boat.

circuitikz update with ConTeXt fixes
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Hi, I recieved this via CTAN updates. Any volunteers for testing? (Using --modules=all or --modules=t-tikz should automatically give you the latest version.)

CrossWords Puzzles with context
by Jorge Manuel 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

After some attempts to build crosswords puzzles with context, I found this approach: 1) Create the puzzle with genxword https://github.com/riverrun/genxword <https://github.com/riverrun/genxword> 2) Edit the output table and change all {} to * 3) Save the table in a file (p.e. crosswords.txt) 3) In context use this script (Revised By Wolfgang Schuster) \startluacode context.startmidaligned() context.bTABLE( { rulethickness = ".25pt", width = ".8cm", height = ".8cm", align = "{lohi, middle}" } ) for line in io.lines("crosswords.txt") do for w in (line .. "|"):gmatch("([^|]*)|") do -- print (w) if w == ' ' then context.bTR() elseif w == '.' then context.eTR() else if w == '* ' then context.bTD( { frame = "off" } ) context.eTD() else ww = string.match (w, "%d+") print (ww) if ww then context.bTD( { foregroundstyle = "\\bfxx" } ) context("%s",ww) context.eTD() else context.bTD() -- context("%s",w) context.eTD() end end end end end context.eTABLE() context.stopmidaligned() \stopluacode Files: crossword.txt file: |* |* |[2]T|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |[1]A|D|R|I|A|N|O|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |* |* |A|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |[6]H|* |J|* |* |* |[4]T|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |[3]I|T|A|L|I|C|A|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |S|* |N|* |* |* |R|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |P|* |O|* |* |* |G|* |[10]S|* |* |[7]P|* |* |* |* |. |A|* |* |* |[5]G|U|A|D|A|L|Q|U|I|[9]V|I|[8]R|. |L|* |* |* |* |* |R|* |N|* |* |B|* |E|* |O|. |I|* |* |* |* |* |Y|* |T|* |* |L|* |N|* |M|. |S|* |* |* |* |* |E|* |I|* |* |I|* |U|* |A|. |* |* |* |* |* |* |N|* |P|* |* |O|* |S|* |N|. |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |O|* |* |* |* |* |* |O|. |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |N|* |* |* |* |* |* |S|. |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |C|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |* |* |* |[11]A|N|F|I|T|E|A|T|R|O|* |* |* |.

Re: [NTG-context] mkii to mkiv - section numbering with minimal example

After some searching in the test suite I found the answer, which I'll put here in case someone else is searching for it, which is: \setuphead[section][sectionsegments=section] \setuphead[subsection][sectionsegments=section:subsection] which sets up sections to just be numbered with the section number instead of the part, chapter and section number, and sets up subsections to just be numbered with the section and subsection number. Now that I know how to do it I see mkiv is much cleaner on this code and the change gets reflected in tables of contents etc. This was much harder in mkii. Thanks again. Duncan

italic correction (before the glyph)
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Jun '19

23 Jun '19

Dear list, I have the following sample: \def\DesiredFont{TeX Gyre Termes} \definefontfeature[italic][itlc=yes,textitalics=yes] \setupitaliccorrection[global, always] \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [\DesiredFont] \definefontfamily [mainface_corrected] [rm] [\DesiredFont] [features={italic}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \setupitaliccorrection[global,always] \starttext \startbuffer[chars] \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \dorecurse{26} {\setupbodyfont[mainface]% [{\em \recurselevel}] [{\em \characters{\recurselevel}}] [{\em \Characters{\recurselevel}}] ({\em \characters{\recurselevel}}) ({\em \Characters{\recurselevel}}) \hfill \setupbodyfont[mainface_corrected] [{\em \recurselevel}] [{\em \characters{\recurselevel}}] [{\em \Characters{\recurselevel}}] ({\em \characters{\recurselevel}}) ({\em \Characters{\recurselevel}}) \par} \stopTEXpage \stopbuffer \getbuffer[chars] \def\DesiredFont{TeX Gyre Pagella} \getbuffer[chars] \stoptext This shows that sequences such as ({\em f}) are corrected with the closing parenthesis, but not with the opening one. Wouldn’t it be possible that italic correction could be enabled also before the italic glyph(s)? BTW, I wonder why the second definition of \DesiredFont doesn’t change the font for the buffer used after it. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
