mtxrun fails after update to ubuntu 11.04
by S Barmeier 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi, After updating my system to ubuntu 11.04, all sorts of access permissions seem to have changed. In particular, when compiling any ConTeXt document, I get oad otf > loading: /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmono8-regular.otf (hash: lmmono8-regular) load otf > font loaded okay load otf > file size: 66268 load otf > enhancing ... load otf > saving in cache: /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmono8-regular.otf report | lua: compiling /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/fonts/otf/lmmono8-regular.tma into /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/fonts/otf/lmmono8-regular.tmctexluac: cannot open /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/fonts/otf/lmmono8-regular.tma: No such file or directory luac: cannot open /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/fonts/otf/lmmono8-regular.tma: No such file or directory Trying to mtxrun --script fonts --reload, it tells me MTXrun | resolvers: unable to save 'files' in '/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/7625073666844883aa0723352de861b9/trees/1240e363db2f4c53de58379d2b0c6f6b.lua' (access error) MTXrun | fontnames: unable to access database cache MTXrun | fontnames: accessing the data table failed and similar errors. I've tried sudo mtxrun [...], but then the command is not found. I hope the problem will be resolved by changing folder permissions, but I'm not sure which folders are affected and which I should refrain from changing. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you, Severin

Some Ethiopic examples (hyphenation/breaking) in ConTeXt
by Mojca Miklavec 08 May '11

08 May '11

Dear Hans, We were originally preparing the example for XeTeX (which behaves very weird anyway) and I would like to know how to typeset Ethiopic text in ConTeXt. The basic requirements are: - Words may be split after any character (character = syllable; it's in the range "1200-"139F), but not before word/sentence dividers. (We have hyphenation patterns, but one could just as well use some other mechanism to break.) - "1361 and "1362 are word dividers and sentence dividers. - One doesn't use spaces when writing. - In output one should get something like space (approximately the same width) before and something like space after word/sentence divider, except that the "space" before divider should not be breakable; I highly suspect that the amount of space before/after dividers depends on the font being used, but I may be wrong. - Text should be nicely justified (I wonder if microtypography would also help). I'm attaching a sample text that does approximately what I expect it to do, but I would like to avoid active characters, make the space before and after divider of equal size and I'm not sure what is the most appropriate approach in ConTeXt. The example also leaves a bit too much whitespace after dividers that end the line. Here's the font used in the example: http://scripts.sil.org/AbyssinicaSIL_Download Thanks a lot, Mojca PS: In char-def.lua see [0x1361]={ category="po", description="ETHIOPIC WORDSPACE", direction="l", linebreak="ba", unicodeslot=0x1361, }, where linebreak="ba" means "break after" or "allow break after this character". But I guess that ConTeXt ignores those meanings at the moment.

Annotation and background color
by Otared Kavian 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi Wolfgang, Following up one of the recent threads about your annotation module, I made some experiments and found it a wonderful and extremely useful module. Out of curiosity, I wanted to know whether there is a key to set a background color for an annotation (as it is possible to use headcolor=darkred, or textcolor=darkgray, for instance). Also I didn't get the difference between textcolor=darkgray and color=darkgray: are they the same? The example I was testing is below. Best regards: OK \usemodule[annotation] \define[2]\MyQuotationCommand {\textrule{#1}#2\textrule} \defineannotation[MyQuotation] [alternative=command, command=\MyQuotationCommand, text=Quotation , number=yes, headcolor=darkred, color=darkgray, % textcolor=darkgray, ] \starttext \startMyQuotation{Peter D. Ward} \input ward.tex \stopMyQuotation \startMyQuotation{Donald Knuth} \input knuth \stopMyQuotation \MyQuotation{Wolfgang Schster}{The annotation module is wonderful!} \stoptext

Too much spacing in math mode between 'f' and 'l' (MkIV only)
by Vedran Miletić 08 May '11

08 May '11

Hi, please consider this: \starttext \math{flow_1} \stoptext When compiled with MkIV, space between "f" and "l" is quite big and doesn't look very good. Is it a bug? Regards, Vedran Miletić

header for indented text / blockquote
by R. Ermers 07 May '11

07 May '11

Dear All, In my docbook xml document I have fragments that I want to typeset indented. For this I use the tag <blockquote> which I map to startnarrower and stopnarrower. Some blockquotes in my document have a header: <blockquote> <title>How a cow catches a rabbit</title> <para>Text Text</para> </blockquote> I was wondering if the header could be setup just like sections and section headers in the following way: \startnarrower[title={title}, reference=reference] .... \stopnarrower Perhaps I need to create a new environment (blockquote) with these qualities? The title and the reference to the section (and subsections) can now easily be matched to lpath variables (much easier than when \section in fact refers to the section title). Another question related to this is how to can typeset the text of the blockquote in two columns, while its header is typeset over the full page. Kind regards, Robert

Latest beta not working.

If I run "context" with no arguments, I get the following output (and nothing else): mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' The file, mtx-context.lua does exis: /home/bwise/context/20110505-beta-extras/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua If I do an strace, it's looking for the following: 26155 open("./context.lua", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 open("/home/bwise/context/20110505-beta-extras/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtx-context.lua", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 stat("mtx-context.lua", 0x7fffcf962660) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 stat("mtx-context.lua", 0x7fffcf962660) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 open("/home/bwise/context/20110505-beta-extras/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtx-context.lua", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 stat("context.lua", 0x7fffcf962660) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 26155 stat("context.lua", 0x7fffcf962660) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) So it's looking for the mtx-context.lua file in the path: tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtx-context.lua And it's really located in the path: tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Bart

Proposed changes for Croatian language
by Vedran Miletić 06 May '11

06 May '11

Hi, according to [1], Croatian language has no em-dash. Could lang-def.mkiv (lines 240-243) be fixed to be: \c!leftsentence={\hbox{--~}}, \c!rightsentence={\hbox{~--}}, \c!leftsubsentence={--}, \c!rightsubsentence={--}, also, from my understanding, month names are only used for generating correct \date[...=...] output. If that's the case, they should be in Genitive case, as follows: january = siječnja february = veljače march = ožujka april = travnja may = svibnja june = lipnja july = srpnja august = kolovoza september = rujna october = listopada november = studenog december = prosinca If it would be easier, I can send fixed lang-txt.lua. Thanks, Vedran Miletić [1] http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crtica_%28pravopis%29
