multi column index register broken
by Andreas Mang 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Dear all, Firstly, thanks for the fixes in the index register. Works nicely... However, I am facing an new problem with this very register: It seems that the current beta only works for index registers put in a single column (see below) or did the interface change? Cheers, Andreas VERSION: ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.16 20:58 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.16 MINIMAL EXAMPLE: %%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext ABC\index{ABC} DEF\index{DEF} GHI\index{GHI} JKL\index{JKL} MNO\index{MNO} % \placeindex[n=1] % works % \completeindex[n=1] % works \completeindex % does not work %\placeindex[n=2] % does not work %\completeindex[n=2] % does not work \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%% ERROR MESSAGE: Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted) … <to be read again> \relax \settotalinsertionheight ...on_height \s!topfloat +\page_insert_insertion_he... \page_mul_set_n_of_lines ...ttotalinsertionheight \d_page_mul_temp \dimexpr ... \page_otr_command_set_vsize ...mul_set_n_of_lines \d_page_mul_temp \nofcolum... \page_mul_start ... >\plusone \page_mul_start_yes \else \page_mul_start_nop ... \strc_registers_place ...rparameter \c!tolerance ] \strc_registers_place_inde... …

new beta
by Hans Hagen 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The usual fixes. New is a first version of a new multi column handler. Pretty experimental but eventually it will replace the current multi column routine, which is fact is then an instance, think of \definemixedcolumns [columns] \unexpanded\def\setupcolumns {\setupmixedcolumns[columns]} The simple columns routine is already replaced (by an instance) as is the multi column handler of itemize. Hans ps. Does someone know of a latin font that has different glyphs sets? \definefontfeature [solution-demo] [goodies=demo, % needs version from latest beta featureset=default] \definefont [SomeTestFont] [texgyrepagellaregular*solution-demo at 10pt] \definefontsolution [solution] [goodies=demo, solution=experimental, method={normal,preroll}, % method={normal,preroll,split}, criterium=1] \starttext \enabletrackers [builders.paragraphs.solutions.splitters.colors] \startsimplecolumns \showfontkerns \setuptolerance[verytolerant] \start \SomeTestFont \input zapf \par \stop \column \start \SomeTestFont \startfontsolution[solution] \input zapf \par \stopfontsolution \stop \stopsimplecolumns \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

bad kerning with Garamond
by Peter Münster 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi, I've copied the files GARA.TTF, GARABD.TTF and GARAIT.TTF (Monotype Garamond) to the fonts directory and then regenerated the database. This is my test-file: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[garamond] \starttext \input tufte \it \input tufte \bf \input tufte \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The output is here: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/test.pdf and it's very ugly. How could I get better results please? TIA for any help! -- Peter

ancient greek module and footnote fontsize problem
by Alan Bowen 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

The following code fails to produce greek in the footnote. \usemodule[ancientgreek] [font=GreekOldStandard,scale=1.00,altfont=GreekLibertine,scale=0.95] \def\grk{\localgreek} \setupnote[footnote][way=bypage,conversion=numbers] \setupnote[footnote][location=page, rule=on, bodyfont=9.5pt, style=normal ] \starttext \grk{ἄλφα} lorem ipsum\footnote{lorem ipsm dolor \grk{βῆτα}} \stoptext The problem seems to be “bodyfont=9.5pt”. If this line is commented out, the greek appears as it should. Is this a bug or is there another way to set the fontsize in footnotes to 9.5 pts? Alan

Broken Nightly (2012.07.10)
by Kip Warner 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hey Hans, Wolfgang, et al, The nightly for 2012.07.10 appears to be broken. When attempting to compile my book, I get the following. ! Argument of \PlaceSection has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \strc_rendering_inject_text ...ameter \c!command } \ifx \p_command \empty \di... \strc_rendering_place_head_text ...ng_inject_text }\fi \strc_rendering_stop_... \strc_sectioning_handle ...dering_place_head_text \strc_sectioning_after_yes... l.8 \title{Contents at a Glance} E ? You want to edit file Makeup/Table_of_Contents.tex at line 8 <https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~avaneya/avaneya/trunk/view/head:/Documentatio…> This is just a piece of advice from one programmer to another, but it might be useful if you use some kind of unit testing framework with ConTeXt since most of the nightlies it seems are usually broken for somebody. You just need some test cases, e.g. people's documents that draw on as many features as possible. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

## not permitted in the presence of &.
by eythanweg＠gmail.com 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi, I run into trouble with mkiv (ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.7 int: english/english). A small example: \starttext \def\c#1#2{\halign{##\hfil&##\cr\bf#1&\quad#2\cr}} \c{11}{this} \stoptext gives and error: ! Only one # is allowed per tab. This runs error-free under mkii (pdftex, xetex), plain tex (luatex, xetex), latex (luatex) etc. Would someone comment? Thank you, Eythan

math: diagonal dots
by Andreas Mang 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Dear all, It seems that the \ddots in "modern" is mapped to the wrong Symbol: %%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupbodyfont[modern,12pt] \starttext $\ddots$ \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%% System: ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.10 09:52 MKIV result: three dots from bottom left to top right (corresponds to \iddots (which btw. does not exist in context, as it seems)) expected result: three dots from top left to bottom right Seems just to be the case for "modern". Cheers, Andreas

PDF Preview Image
by Kip Warner 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hey list, Many different desktop environments display the first page of a PDF as the file's "thumbnail" image. Is there any way to customize what is used as the preview image for a PDF with ConTeXt? Or is it typesetting environment agnostic and the thumbnailers always look for the first page? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
