Using backslash in chapter title.
by john Culleton 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Using MKIV and MyriadProBold for my sanserif font I have the following chapter title: "Can You Type \bye?" which I type as \chapter{Can You type \backslash bye?} The slash appears but a bit low and much too thin. I have tried various games including creating a special font just for this character but nothing changes. the \backslash command seems invulnerable to change. Is there a way in MKIV to express a backslash in another way (bigger and bolder)? John Culleton

OSFONTDIR kills gui fonts.
by john Culleton 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

I am tryihg to follow the wiki on "Fonts in Luatex." It suggests the following statement for Linux systems: export OSFONTDIR="/usr/local/share/fonts;$HOME/.fonts" But I store my fonts in /usr/share/fonts so I used: export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts" The net effect of this statement was to wipe out all my text fonts used with XFCE4 or KDE, at least when I use my regular user signon. I examined my /etc/profile, $HOME/.profile, @HOME/.bashrc files and deleted or commented out all references to OSFONTDIR. I still have no gui fonts. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can revive my gui fonts that would be welcome. Only my regular user signon is affected, But I really want to know what kind of OSFONTDIR statement I can use that won't wipe out my gui fonts. I can of course move the pertinent fonts to the fonts directories in my /usr/local/texlive etc. file structure. But I am looking for a more general solution.

Opening quotes problem with context.
by john Culleton 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Did a fresh install of context etc. from the context site. I used this test file: ------------------------------- \starttext ``Hello world.'' And ``Goodbye world.'' \stoptext %\bye ----------------------------------------- The resulting pdf shows two left tick marks for opening quotes but the closing quotes are proper curly quotes. If I modify the file as follows: ------------------------------- %\starttext ``Hello world.'' And ``Goodbye world.'' %\stoptext \bye --------------------------- and use luatex or pdftex from texlive the quotes are OK. I got similar results from context in texlive 2012 and texlive 2013. What is the proper code for opening quotes in context? I use slackware linux 14, the 64 bit version. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

bug in \type?
by Pablo Rodríguez 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Dear list, using the latest beta (it also happens with ConTeXt from TL 2013), I don’t get the space in \type{\em #1}. Here you have a minimal sample that shows the difference with other verbatim commands: \starttext \type{\em #1} \arg{\em #1} \starttyping\em #1\stoptyping \stoptext Is this a bug in \type or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

faking fonts with simplefonts
by Pablo Rodríguez 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Dear list, I don’t get slanted fonts that I have to fake for a monospaced typeface that lacks an italic font. Here is a sample with a standard font that shows the same problem: \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25] \setmonofont[DejaVu Sans Mono][italicfont={*}, italicfeatures=fakeitalic] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \starttext \tex{define}{\tt\em<nombredelaclasedeelemento>}, {\tt\em<nombredelaclasedeelemento>}. \stoptext I can only get the second \em working, unless I don’t fake it. What am I doing wrong here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

wrong font fallback for Hebrew?
by Pablo Rodríguez 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Dear list, using simplefonts (sorry, I don’t know how to do it with the standard typescripts [it might fail there too]), I don’t get font fallback working for some Hebrew characters. Here is the sample: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setupdirections[bidi=on] \definefontfeature[hebrew][lang=heb,script=hebr] \setmainfontfallback[FreeSerif][range={hebrew,greekandcoptic}, force=yes,features=hebrew] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \starttext This Greek letter is printed: ά.\blank But this Hebrew letter isn’t: אָֽ. \stoptext It works for Greek, but it doesn’t work for Hebrew. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

> \setuphead[subject][incrementnumber=list] > > Wolfgang Thanks Wolfgang, but that does not work here. My minexample: \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=b, list={chapter, section, subject %subsubsection, }] \setuphead[subject][incrementnumber=list] \starttext \completecontent \subject{Without number. Should into the toc (there again without number) – but is not.} \section{With number and into the toc. That works.} \stoptext Huseyin

> \subject Thanks Hans. But with "subject" the title is not in the toc, too. If I add subject into \setupcombinedlist, it does not help: \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=b, list={chapter, section, subject %subsubsection, }] How too add \subject (again without number) into the toc correctly?

[***SPAM***] Section without numbering
by "H. Özoguz" 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Hello together, thanks for the last quick helpful answers! How can one deactivate numbering (both in the toc and ind the content) for a single section-title manually? In LaTex there is the star-syntax: \section*{Blub}, what is the analogon in Context? Huseyin
