footnotes in captions in floatcombinations
by Henning Hraban Ramm 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi, I got a problem with current LMTX as well as with other versions – while I’m sure it used to work at some point: As soon as there’s a footnote in the caption of a placefigure within a floatcombination, the figure won’t get placed. There’s no problem outside of floatcombinations or with floatcombinations without footnotes. Please let there be an easy fix... Hraban \useMPlibrary[dum] \automigrateinserts \showframe \starttext \input knuth %\startplacefigure[location=none] %\startfloatcombination[2*1] \startplacefigure[title={Image with footnote\footnote[f:1]{foo bar baz}}] \externalfigure[001][width=.48\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[title={Another image with footnote\footnote[f:2]{Something}}] \externalfigure[002][width=.48\textwidth] \stopplacefigure %\stopfloatcombination %\stopplacefigure \input lorem \startplacefigure[location=none] \startfloatcombination[2*1] \startplacefigure[title={Left Image\footnote[f:3]{doo be doo}}] \externalfigure[003][width=.48\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[title={Right Image%\footnote[f:4]{Anything} }] \externalfigure[004][width=.48\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=none] \startfloatcombination[2*1] \startplacefigure[title={Left Image}] \externalfigure[005][width=.48\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[title={Right Image}] \externalfigure[006][width=.48\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \input tufte \stoptext

Force bottom float to be at the bottom
by Mikael Sundqvist 13 Sep '20

13 Sep '20

Hi, I'm defining a bottomfigure with default=bottom, but it does not always seem to work (example below). If the float does not fit on the page, it appears instead in the top of the next page. Can I force it to be in the bottom of the next page? That is, can I setup a float that is always at the bottom of the page? I hope what I ask makes sense. /Mikael \useMPlibrary[dum] \definefloat[bottomfigure][bottomfigures][figure] \setupfloat[bottomfigure][default=bottom] \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\samplefile{knuth}} \startplacebottomfigure \externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth] \stopplacebottomfigure \samplefile{knuth} \stoptext

How do I specify a fallback to Symbola for the playing card range?
by T. Kurt Bond 11 Sep '20

11 Sep '20

I want to use the Unicode Character PLAYING CARD ACE OF SPADES in a ConTeXt document. Because of the way the source document is created it has to be as the actual unicode character itself, rather than a reference to a specific character in a specific font. Here's what I've tried, but it doesn't work: \definefontfallback[mainface][rm][Symbola][preset=range:playingcards,force=yes] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][LibertinusSerif] \enabletrackers[fonts.missing] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext 🂡 Testing! \stoptext The PLAYING CARD ACE OF SPADES character does not show up in the output PDF. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks! -- T. Kurt Bond, tkurtbond(a)gmail.com, https://tkurtbond.github.io

Access violation
by Christoph Reller 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Dear developers, I am using ConTeXt LMTX version 2020.09.05 21:18 on Windows 46bit. I have a large project for which I can reproduce an access violation: mtx-context | fatal error: return code: -1073741819 Unfortunately, the error vanishes as soon as I alter any detail in the project's source code. The access violation happens always at the same location. I have produced a log file for which I have enabled \tracingall just before the error happens. I suspect that the error is triggered due to tagging information written to the PDF (\setuptagging[state=start]), because disabling tagging prevents the error. The log file (as a ZIP archive) is here <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xv5ZxQi4IfyS50HD60z-Nk-FOW_-afU-/view?usp=…>. Does this help or do you really need a MWE? Kind regards Christoph

\definefontfamily not finding fonts
by Aditya Mahajan 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Did something change with regard to \definefontfamily recently. I have an old document where I use: \starttypescript[mainface] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Libertinus Serif][features=default] \definefontfamily[mainface][ss] [heros] [features=default] \definefontfamily[mainface][tt] [dejavu] [features=none, rscale=0.85] \definefontfamily[mainface][mm] [LibertinusMath] \stoptypescript \setupbodyfont[mainface,12pt] On the recent LMTX (2020.09.05) I get selectfont > the requested font 'Libertinus Serif' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. selectfont > the requested font 'heros' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. selectfont > the requested font 'dejavu' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. selectfont > the requested font 'LibertinusMath' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. I can find the fonts using mtxrun --script fonts. For example: $mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="LibertinusSerif" --all identifier familyname fontname filename subfont instances libertinusserif libertinusserif libertinusserif libertinusserif-regular.otf libertinusserifdisplaynormal libertinusserifdisplay libertinusserifdisplay libertinusserifdisplay-regular.otf libertinusserifdisplayregular libertinusserifdisplay libertinusserifdisplay libertinusserifdisplay-regular.otf libertinusserifinitialsnormal libertinusserifinitials libertinusserifinitials libertinusserifinitials-regular.otf libertinusserifinitialsregular libertinusserifinitials libertinusserifinitials libertinusserifinitials-regular.otf libertinusserifnormal libertinusserif libertinusserifitalic libertinusserif-italic.otf libertinusserifregular libertinusserif libertinusserif libertinusserif-regular.otf and similar for the other fonts. Any idea on what is going on and how to debug. Thanks, Aditya

problem embedding TABLE macros within wrapper macros "to reduce repetitive complexity")
by Rudd, Kevin 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

I have a number of slides using \...framedtext blocks to break the slides into panes within a TABLE environment (TMI: not in MWE; merely my justification for writing the wrapper macros). When the TABLE macros are invoked explicitly it all works fine and produces a suitable single-cell table with "quux blech baz bar foo" framed; when embedded in macros (whether defined by \def, \unexpanded\def, \define) then it fails with the error "The file ended when scanning an argument. => fatal error: return code: 256. A previous question on the topic seemed to indicate that TABLE was suitable, so I figure that something subtle is wrong as I've invoked the embedded TABLE macros. Any suggestions? Many thanks, ---K MWE: this code fails if the \...PaneSlide block is uncommented, succeeds if commented out. \define\startPaneSlide{\bTABLE} \define\startPaneRow{bTR\bTD} \define\stopPaneRow{\eTD\eTR} \define\stopPaneSlide{\eTABLE} \starttext \bTABLE \bTR\bTD quux blech baz bar foo \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \startPaneSlide \startPaneRow foo bar baz blech quux \stopPaneRow \stopPaneSlide \stoptext Kevin W.

Hi, The certificate for *.contextgarden.net expired this morning. I installed a new certificate just now, but it is possible that I missed one of the uses of the old certificate. If you find that you get an error about ‘Connection is not private’ still, even after a hard reload, please send me message as I likely forgot to update some file. Best wishes, Taco

Fwd: Re: styling individual parts of ToC entry
by jbf 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

After making silly mistakes, for which I apologize, I finally got the ToC to work for frontmatter and chapters, creating new \defineheads as required, and including the earlier \ChapterListCommand, with the results correctly showing. To add some named sections with authors, I did the following, using an idea Hraban had floated: \setupsectionblock [bodypart] [number=no] \define[1]\SectionTocEntry{% #1\crlf% title \structurelistuservariable{author}% } \setuplist[section][ textcommand=\SectionTocEntry, ] I need to adjust the \setuplist[section] so these section entries move across under the Chapter titles (not be left-aligned as they are now under Chapter number. The earlier \ChapterListCommand has titles and authors moved across 3cm. I have tried: \setuplist[section][width=3cm, textcommand=\SectionTocEntry, ] The width=3cm is not doing anything, so I've got that wrong. How do I move sections across by a specific amount in the TOC?

About font combination in ConTeXt MKIV
by MANUEL GONZALEZ SUAREZ 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Dear friends: Until now (TeXLive 2018), to write Spanish and ancient Greek in the same document, I used the "simplefonts" module, which is said in the wiki (ConTeXt Garden) that it is obsolete. What is the method to do this with TeXLive 2020? I try to combine one font for Spanish text (eg libertine) and another for ancient Greek (eg New Athena Unicode), but I don't know how to do it without the "simplefonts" module, and if I try to compile the document with the "simplefonts module", I have an error Thank you. Manuel González.
