Re: [NTG-context] hbar (and probably some other symbols) doesn't work in latest beta
by Jeong Dal 10 Jan '13

Dear Michael and Otared, After updating ConTeXt to the latest version(2013.01.02.) and run the sample code. > > \starttext > $\hbar$ > \stoptext But I also got empty page. If I add either \setupbodyfont[xits] or \enablemode[lmmath], \hbar appeared. I also use Mac OSX mountain lion 64bit, luatex beta 0.74. In the log file, I found the message "Missing character:…" %%%%%%%%% … fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'loc' (/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-texgyre.mkiv){/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} … … Missing character: There is no ħ (U+0127) in font texgyretermesmath-regular! backend > xmp > using file '/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' … %%%%%%%%% I think that Otared doesn't have this kind of message. Do you have any idea to fix this? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Luajittex 0.72.0 announcement
by luigi scarso 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi, there is a new project on supelec: Luajittex. Briefly, it's like luatex with Lua replaced by LuaJIT. See http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luajittex/ for the source code. Please note that LuaJIT is based on lua 5.1, while luatex is now based on lua 5.2 --- this means that binaries modules must be kept separate. The tag 0.72.0 means that luajittex is in sinc with the tag 0.72.0 of luatex; I'm working to keep in sinc with the last tag. I've compiled the source for Linux 64bit (Ubuntu 12.10) Linux 32bit (Opensuse 12.1) and crosscompiled for Mingw32bit and they seem to work but of course any feedback is appreciate. The new engine is available with context (mkiv) with --engine=luajittex -- luigi

Re: [NTG-context] How to use module simpleslides' SideToc
by Alan BRASLAU 09 Jan '13

Yes, Many simpleslides styles seem to be broken. Thomas seems to be aware of this but has not gotten to looking into it.

A quick FYI: the URL given in the manual for the LPeg lexers package you need is no longer valid. That project is not hosted on code.google.com any more. Use this one instead: http://foicica.com/scintillua/ -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Opening external documents with external application
by Matthias Weber 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Dear All, I used to write \goto{\externalfigure[cuteimage]}[program(file.ext)] to get an image, that, when clicked, will open an application that will open file.ext. This currently still works on my Mac (10.8) with the TeXShop preview and with Skim. I does not work anymore with Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat now asks permission, but doesn't do anything when granted. Even worse, on another Mac with an older OS, Skim didn't open the hyperlink either. On Windows, I couldn't find any program that would do the job, by I don't know much about that part of the world. Is there anything that has changed recently in the way these kind of hyperlinks must be written? (I use MkII) Thanks, Matthias

Broken header=repeat in extreme tables

08 Jan '13

Hello ConTeXt-Users, when I try to split long extreme tables and want to get repeating first and last rows on each page (or in each column) with header=repeat (or footer=repeat), that doesn't work (latest beta). minimal example: \starttext \startxtable[split=yes,header=repeat,footer=repeat] \startxtablehead \startxrow \startxcell head one \stopxcell \startxcell head two \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtablehead \startxtablebody \dorecurse{100}{\startxrow \startxcell body one \stopxcell \startxcell body two \stopxcell \stopxrow} \stopxtablebody \startxtablefoot \startxrow \startxcell foot one \stopxcell \startxcell foot two \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtablefoot \stopxtable \stoptext Thanks Jannik
