Works in ConTeXt, fails in LMTX

Some more details on the font inclusion problem I posted about the other day. This code: ---begin--- \definefont[fontCoverTitle][name:brushwood at 94pt] \starttext This text in default font. \fontCoverTitle{EXAMPLE} \stoptext ---end--- works as expected in ConTeXt ver: 2020.03.10 14:44 MKIV beta fmt: 2020.4.18 int: english/english but fails (the brushwood font isn't included) in ConTeXt ver: 2020.11.05 23:01 LMTX fmt: 2020.11.7 int: english/english If I change the font name to "heros" then it works in both. So I re-ran mtxrun --script fonts --reload and mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=brush lists brushwood and brushwoodsemi but it still fails. So I'm not quite sure what to look at next.

by Tommaso Gordini 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Hello to all. I am writing to you just to know if the following code, with which I would like to activate the protrusion and expansion of characters in my document, is correct. Is the command order okay? If I wanted to use another font, are there other things to write? Thank you in advance Tommaso The code: \mainlanguage[it] \definefontfeature [default] [default] [expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \usetypescript[modern-base] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext ... \stoptext

Get section's uservarialbe inside the section
by Sylvain Hubert 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Dear List, I have sections tagged with authors: \startsection[title={Title}][author={Author}] ... \stopsection The authors were to be included in the table of contents using \structurelistuservariable{author}. Now I would also like to mention the authors inside the sections, but \startsection[title={Title}][author={Author}] \structurelistuservariable{author} \stopsection doesn't work. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks! Best, Sylvain

Scheherazade New loading issue
by Alan Bowen 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Though Scheherazade New font loads properly with the today’s LMTX, I cannot get it to load with LMTX from 2020.09.20 (which I must stay with for now because the latest one has its own complaints about my files). \definefallbackfamily[mainface][][Scheherazade New] [range=arabic] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][STIX Two Text] \setupbodyfont [mainface, 24pt] \starttext Arabic—ؼ {\bf ؼ} \stoptext with ConTeXt ver: 2020.09.20 23:02 mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 2 files: stix2text-bold.otf, stix2text-regular.otf with ConTeXt ver: 2020.11.07 mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 4 files: stix2text-bold.otf, stix2text-regular.otf, scheherazadenew-bold.ttf, scheherazadenew-regular.ttf I should add that the old Sheherazade font works well with v. 2020.09.20.

new upload
by Hans Hagen 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Hi, Again a new lmtx upload. As these days are all about counting and numbers ... of the 19K visible macros some 14K are now flagged. Question: do we really need all these 'named characters' or can we at some point ditch many .. I assume that users who key in greek and cyrillic use unicode nowdays (no hurry, just wondering).

How to define a {\bf}-compatible fake-bold switcher?
by Sylvain Hubert 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Dear List, I'm using a weirdfont that does not have a pre-defined bold variant but still want to emboldening short extracts of text occasionally, so I've defined \defineeffect[thicker][alternative=both,rulethickness=0.3pt] \define\fakebf{\effect[thicker]} but in situations like {\fakebf \definedfont[weridfont] 1 2 3 \definedfont[modern]4 5 6} the "4 5 6" is faked bold even if latinmodern has a proper bold font. Could anyone help me define a {\bf}-aware version of \fakebf which can render the "4 5 6" in the example above in latinmodern's bold? Thanks in advance. Best, Sylvain

How to quote the section names in advance like the table of contents?
by Sylvain Hubert 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Dear List, say I have three sections in the document: \section{foo} ... \section{bar} ... \section{baz} ... Now I would like to auto generate a heavily customized table of contents like the following text, which cannot be done by the stock \placecontent in general, and put it into the preface: This book has 3 sections: foo, bar, and baz. The text generation should be trivial with lua, but I don't know how such forward reference of section names works. Could anyone help me with it? Thanks in advance. Best, Sylvain

fancybreak fails in LMTX
by Rik Kabel 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Hello all, The following example produces the expected output in MkIV, but fails in LMTX (both dated 2020-11-07). The modules directory was copied into the LMTX tree from the MkIV tree, and the log indicates that the module is loaded. It gives no other clues. The output has a blank line where the break should be, as shown in the included snips. \usemodule [fancybreak] \definesymbol [asterisms][*\qquad fancybreak\qquad *] \setupfancybreak[indentnext=no,symbol=asterisms] \starttext Before \fancybreak After \stoptext MkIV output: LMTX output: -- Rik
