Finding the position of an image on the page.
by peter.hopcroft＠icloud.com 02 Oct '23

Hello list, Can I find the position of an image on the page after I have placed the image with \externalfigure? For example, the top, left corner of the image might be 50 mm in from left side of page and 120 mm down from the top of the page. I know I can use \getfiguredimensions to find information about the placed image, but it does not give me the position of the image. Thank you Peter Hopcroft

Bug? Text following columns at end of page goes into footer not next page
by Bruce Horrocks 30 Sep '23

30 Sep '23

Two column text that ends near the foot of a page can push the next line into the footer rather than starting a new page. MWE for ConTeXt ver: 2023.09.26 18:19 LMTX :- \setuppapersize [A4] \showframe \starttext Knuth in knolumns \dorecurse{30}{\crlf} \startcolumns \input knuth \stopcolumns This line goes into the footer rather than the next page. \stoptext — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

formula alignment for mathalign
by Aditya Mahajan 28 Sep '23

28 Sep '23

Hi, The `align` parameter of `\setupformulas` is ignored in mathalign. Consider the following MWE: \setupformulas[align=flushleft,leftmargin=2em] \starttext \startformula A = B \stopformula vs \startformula \startalign \NC A \NC B \NR \NC A \NC B \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext The first display formula is flush left, but the aligned formula is centered on the page. This appears to be a regression compared to MkIV, where the above example works correctly. Aditya

Issue : compilation error when using mathcases with pagella fonts (and others)
by Vincent Picard 26 Sep '23

26 Sep '23

Hello, Since ConTexT last upgrade (ltmx 2023.09.18 21:13), I have a document that won't compile with ConTexT. The problem seems to occur when using mathcases with some ConTeXt provided fonts, including pagella. This is a minimal not working example : \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext \startformula \delta_{ij} = \startmathcases \NC 1 \NC \text{if } i = j \NR \NC 0 \NC \text{otherwise} \NR \stopmathcases \stopformula \stoptext The error is : run callback [44]: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/math-fnt.lmt:56: table index is nil\nstack traceback:\n ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/math-fnt.lmt:56: in metamethod 'index'\n ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/math-fnt.lmt:104: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/math-fnt.lmt:62>\n [C]: in upvalue 'builders_kernel_mlisttohlist'\n [string \"local tonut = nodes.tonut...\"]:43: in function <[string \"local tonut = nodes.tonut...\"]:18>\n (...tail calls...)\n ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/math-noa.lmt:2986: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/math-noa.lmt:2984> My system is : FreeBSD 64bits Thank you for any help.

by Pablo Rodriguez 26 Sep '23

26 Sep '23

Dear list, I have the following sample (with current latest from 2023.09.18 21:13): \setuppapersize[A6] \starttext \startsetups[forfootnote] \setupitemgroup [itemize][1] [ before={\endgraf{\ttbf [before]}\endgraf}, after={\endgraf{\ttbf [after]}\endgraf}] \stopsetups \setupnote[footnote][setups=forfootnote] \footnote{\startitemize \startitem Choose the correct answer. \startitemize \item This one \stopitemize \stopitem \stopitemize} \stoptext Excuse my ignorance, but which is the right way to get the itemize setup only for footnotes? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Re: Install fonts on MS Windows
by Andres Conrado Montoya 24 Sep '23

24 Sep '23

I did a test with Windows 10. Installed a fresh copy from the garden, Got the GFS Didot font from Google Fonts, and installed it system-wide (C:\Windows\fonts). After that, I ran mtxrun --script fonts --reload Then tried the pattern suggested but did not work. However, then I tried a pattern without asterisks: mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=didot --all This returned the font: C:\griego>mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=didot --all identifier familyname fontname filename subfont instances gfsdidot gfsdidot gfsdidotregular c:/windows/fonts/GFSDidot-Regular.ttf gfsdidotnormal gfsdidot gfsdidotregular c:/windows/fonts/GFSDidot-Regular.ttf gfsdidotregular gfsdidot gfsdidotregular c:/windows/fonts/GFSDidot-Regular.ttf theanodidot theanodidot theanodidotregular c:/windows/fonts/TheanoDidot-Regular.ttf theanodidotnormal theanodidot theanodidotregular c:/windows/fonts/TheanoDidot-Regular.ttf theanodidotregular theanodidot theanodidotregular c:/windows/fonts/TheanoDidot-Regular.ttf trying to render Pablo's example didn't work at first, but after i called the fonts with the name returned by mtxrun: \mainlanguage[agr] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][gfsdidot] \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][theanodidot] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext GFS Didot: \doloopoverlist{\tf, \it, \bf, \bi} {\recursestring\input aristotle-grc\par} \ss Theano Didot: \input aristotle-grc \stoptext Everything compiles correctly, and the font is used. Since it's only a single font file with no variants, you don´t get italics, bold etc. But the font is being used. -- Andrés Conrado Montoya Andi Kú andresconrado(a)gmail.com http://sesentaycuatro.com http://messier87.com http://chiquitico.org ---------------------------------------- Los fines no justifican los medios, porque la medida verdadera de nuestro carácter está dada por los medios que estamos dispuestos a utilizar, no por los fines que proclamamos. ---------------------------------------- “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it.

Toggling the symbol for the zero-width joiner and related Unicode control characters
by Hamid,Idris 23 Sep '23

23 Sep '23

Dear gang, Within a font, relevant Unicode control characters such as the zero-width joiner usually have symbolic representation, but in printing the symbols are usually suppressed, while the effect of each character is maintained. In some text editors, such as Windows Notepad (Uniscribe), there is the option "Show Unicode control characters" which toggles the symbols and keeps the effects. I seem to recall that ConTeXt has/had a similar mechanism for toggling the symbols for Unicode control characters but cannot find it. Does anyone know or recall where the symbol-toggling mechanism is? If not, what would be the simplest way to implement it? Here is a MWE (note that the three control chars might be invisible in your email client): ============== \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \definedfont[almfixed at 14pt] ZWJ: ‌ ZWNJ: ‍ NBSP: \stopTEXpage ============== In Notepad, all three control characters can be turned on or off at once. In Scintilla, only the NBSP appears and there is no option to toggle. In ConTeXt, ZWJ and ZWJ appear as symbols, but NBSP does not. Thank you in advance for your guidance.
