I'm using the linux version which is about a week to two weeks old. I've installed in in: /opt/context-lmtx Which now contains the directories: $ ls /opt/context-lmtx --> bin context-linux-64.zip installation.pdf install.sh tex Does this help in getting closer to solving the font problem for ubuntu that I'm using with the stand alone? -------- Wolfgang Schuster <wolfgang.schuster.lists(a)gmail.com> wrote: > skyhorse--- via ntg-context schrieb am 07.11.2021 um 22:06: > > I am a beginner and not well versed on font processing needs yet. > > > > I tried the following simple example, but get an error. > > I am using the standalone context: "txrun | ConTeXt TDS Runner Tool 1.32" > > Which one, there is one available from the ConTeXt wiki [1] and > another one from the Pragma website [2]. > > [1] https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation > [2] https://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm > > It helps also to tell us which system you're using (Windows, Linux etc.). > > Wolfgang >

repeat layer recto pages
by jbf 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

I want a particular layer to repeat on recto pages only, but I don't want this to happen in frontmatter, only in bodymatter. This is what I have done, just before the first chapter after \startbodymatter (but unsuccessfully; the layer repeats for every page at the moment. I must have omitted something). \startbodymatter \setupbackgrounds [rightpage] [background=butterfly] \startchapter[title={Chapter title}] \definelayer[butterfly] [x=0mm, y=0mm,repeat=yes,width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setlayer[butterfly] [hoffset=.99\textwidth, voffset=1cm] {\externalfigure[bfly.jpg][width=1.5cm]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=butterfly] etc. Any thoughts?

Concerning \installparameterhashhandler and family
by Jairo A. del Rio 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Hi. Reading at mult-aux.mkxl, I've seen command handlers define, among others, \installparameterhashhandler, However, in files such as those related with symbol management, only \installparameterhandler and \installsetuphandler are. When writing basic modules, sometimes only the "raw" macros above are actually needed. So, what are "parameterset", "hashhander", "rootparameterhandler", etc. for? Where would they ease module writing? Thank you a lot and sorry for the long question. Best regards, Jairo

Any initial thoughts on luau?

Hello, Yesterday, Roblox announced - Luau - https://luau-lang.org/why - mainly adding linting and type-checking features. Being compatible with Lua 5.1 is probably a bummer but nonetheless would be interesting to hear about this from this community. Thank you. best regards, Ramkumar

on luatex.wrapup
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hi Hans, I would like to use luatex.wrapup to remove media files that I don’t need anymore once the PDF document is generated. I have realized that luatex.wrapup works at the very end of the PDF generation, but in each run. Is there no way to have a luatex.final_wrapup, when no other run will take place? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

font problem
by skyhorse＠gmx.us 07 Nov '21

07 Nov '21

I am a beginner and not well versed on font processing needs yet. I tried the following simple example, but get an error. I am using the standalone context: "txrun | ConTeXt TDS Runner Tool 1.32" Here is my example: %%%%%%%% \starttext \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \stoptext %%%%% The error I get back from context is: " Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless various parameters have been set. This is normally done by loading special math fonts into the math family slots. Your font set is lacking at least the parameter mentioned earlier. mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 " I don't know what special math fonts there are or what a math family slot is. Can you help me out. Or point me to a document that will clear this up for me. Thank you. ---------

can typesetbuffer use the same engine?
by Rik Kabel 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Hello brain trust, How can \typesetbuffer be instructed to use the same engine as the document which contains it? With the following example: \startbuffer[Buffer] \startTEXpage \contextmark \stopTEXpage \stopbuffer \starttext \contextmark\ \typesetbuffer[Buffer] \stoptext I get "MKIV LMTX" when it is processed with context --luatex. I want the buffer to be processed as MkIV. -- Rik

new upload
by Hans Hagen 05 Nov '21

Hi, The latest lmtx upload has this: \starttext \dorecurse{10} { \dorecurse{20}{test #1 } \dorecurse{10}{\insertlinebefore{BEFORE 1/#1}} \dorecurse{20}{test #1 } \blank } \page \dorecurse{10} { \dorecurse{20}{test #1 } \insertlinebefore{BEFORE 1a} \insertlinebefore{BEFORE 1b} \insertlineafter {AFTER 1} \dorecurse{20}{test #1 \hbox{\hbox{\hbox{\footnote{!}}}}} \dorecurse{20}{test #1 } \insertlinebefore{BEFORE 2} \insertlineafter {AFTER 2} \dorecurse{20}{test #1 } \blank } \page \dorecurse{20}{before #1 } \insertblankbefore[big]% \insertlinebefore{\bf patch starts here}% \insertblankbefore[2*big]% \dorecurse{20}{between #1 } \insertblankafter[2*big]% \insertlineafter{\bf and ends here}% \insertblankafter[big]% \dorecurse{20}{after #1 } \stoptext so, some experimental injection mechanism (using some upgraded low level \vadjust related trickery). (now back to the math font mess with Mikael ... so if math lovers have test cases ... it's about time to deal with persistent issues as I don't see/expect math fonts being made more consistent than they are now so we can add tweaks to the goodie files as we go) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
