Bug: Reloading Font
by Thangalin 13 Oct '13

13 Oct '13

Hi, A font causes mtxrun to hang upon reloading. Replicate: mkdir $HOME/.fonts cd $HOME/.fonts wget http://whitemagicsoftware.com/Copperplate-ThirtyThreeBC.ttf export OSFONTDIR=$HOME/.fonts mtxrun --script fonts --reload Expected Results All the fonts in $HOME/.fonts and subdirectories are globbed and imported, within a few seconds. Actual Results The program hangs at Copperplate 33BC font with the CPU locked at 100%. The process must be killed. Kind regards.

Code Called Twice?
by Thangalin 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Hi, I noticed something unexpected with the following code: \enabletrackers[metapost.showlog] \startuseMPgraphic{heading:ThemeTitleStyle} show "HEADING:THEMETITLESTYLE"; show \MPstring{heading:title}; draw textext( \MPstring{heading:title} ) rotated 5 withcolor blue; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineframed[ThemeTitleStyle][ background=\useMPgraphic{ThemeTitleStyle}, ] \def\processword#1{% \setMPtext{heading:title}{#1}% \useMPgraphic{heading:ThemeTitleStyle} } \define[1]\ThemeChapterTitle{\applytosplitstringword\processword{#1}} \setuphead[chapter][deeptextcommand={\ThemeChapterTitle}] \starttext \startchapter[title=Why Is heading:ThemeTitleStyle Called Twice?] \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext It appears as though heading:ThemeTitleStyle is being called twice: metapost > info: >> "HEADING:THEMETITLESTYLE" >> "Why" metapost > info: >> "HEADING:THEMETITLESTYLE" >> "Why" I am trying to produce a random number that is not equal to the previous random number. However, if the code is called twice, then I'd have to add code to ignore one of the calls. Any ideas why the code seems to be called twice and what can be done to ensure that it is only called once? Thank you!

fighting fonts

Hi everyone, I am trying to reproduce a novel I wrote with context years ago. This time is spanish. I use context only for books, not daily, so now I can't figure out how to use fonts. I have been going around and around for days avoiding to look for help here for such a simple thing, but I surrendered. My last attempt was using the simplefonts module.

I am trying to create a papersize for a business card (Japanese sized). I want a 3 mm border/edge and the rest of the space available for text space. I'm able to get new this for the vertical dimension, but the horizontal text area is about 20 mm shorter than desired or (intented) setyp values. How can I get this to provide a text are width of 85 mm and not the 65 mm I am currently getting, even tough I only spacife 3mm right and left edges? Thanks % Minimal example follows: \definepapersize[business-card][width=91mm,height=55mm] \setuppapersize[business-card][business-card] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setuplayout[leftedge=0mm, leftedgedistance=0mm, leftmargin=0mm, leftmargindistance=0mm, backspace=3mm, rightedge=0mm,rightedgedistance=0mm,rightmargin=0mm,rightmargindistance=0mm, topspace=3mm, top=0mm, topdistance=0mm, header=0mm, headerdistance=0mm, footerdistance=0mm, footer=0mm,bottomdistance=0mm, bottom=0mm, makeupwidth=85mm ] \starttext \showframe \midaligned{Hello World!} \showlayout \stoptext
