How to get rounded corners and a thicker line with \startframedtext
by Cecil Westerhof 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

I am still dabbling with ConTeXt. There is a lot to learn, but it is worth it. ;-} At the moment I have (when finished I make a macro of it): \startframedtext[middle] \startalignment[middle] {\bf A goal properly set is halfway reached.} \stopalignment \blank[small] \startalignment[flushright] {\it Abraham Lincoln} \stopalignment \stopframedtext I want to use this to intersperse my document with citations. It is not bad, but I like to change two things: - I would like to use rounded corners - I would like to use a slightly thicker line to draw the box How could I accomplish this? -- Cecil Westerhof

(RSFS) font installation
by Stefan Müller 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi, like others before, I tried to get the script alphabet from Ralph Smith's Formal Font to work in MkIV (minimals) and failed. There seems to be only outdated or unclear and unspecific information about where to start with fonts available. Or: there is information everywhere but I can't put it together. I downloaded a rsfs.zip from [1] containing .mf, .pfb, .afm, .pfm files and a .map file. It seems to be a type1 font. The manual [2] states, that a script texfont.pl can do install the font. Mojca said [3] on the mailing list that texfont is not the way to go, so I didn't try to go further in that direction. Do I need .tfm files? If so, how to get them? I put the "rsfs" directory with its subdirs from the .zip to the folder c:\context\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\data\ as Wolfgang suggested [4] and ran "context --generate". I seems as if this did not install the font, but I have no idea. How can I check this? \definefont[rsfs][file:rsfs*default] \starttext \rsfs ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ \stoptext just gave me the alphabet in default font. Is there a way to ask ConTeXt which fonts (or does ConTeXt "know" typescripts?) it knows? In addition, I tried the example from Hans and Otared at [5] which crashes on my installation (error log appended at the end). I don't know how to proceed here. Hopefully someone from this list can assist me. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Stefan [1] http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/rsfs/ [2] http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf [3] http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20101213.120015.795450f2.en.html [4] http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20101214.102347.a6a2216f.en.html [5] http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100414.122529.bc3ba584.en.html mtx-context | warning: syntex is enabled mtx-context | run 1: luatex --synctex=1 --fmt="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/cont-en" --lua="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend="pdf" "./rsfs_test.tex" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.66.0-2011021923 (rev 4086) \write18 enabled.

VirtuaWin is a virtual desktop manager for the Windows operating system (Win9x/ME/NT/Win2K/XP/Win2003/Vista/Win7). A virtual desktop manager lets you organize applications over several virtual desktops (also called 'workspaces'). Virtual desktops are very common in Unix/Linux, and once you get accustomed to using them, they become an essential part of a productive workflow. http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/ -- luigi

Incomplete \iffalse; all text was ignored after line 27. system > tex > error on line 0 in file : Incomplete \iffalse; all text was ignored after line 27 ... <empty file> <inserted text> \fi ... ! Emergency stop. Please refer to the attached minimal example Willi

Is it possible to generate only a table of contents
by Cecil Westerhof 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Is it possible to generate only a TOC? (\completecontent) When creating a document I like to have the 'stakeholders' to have an indication of what is going on. For this a TOC is enough. I could create the document and cut out the TOC, but it would be simpler if that could be auto generated. -- Cecil Westerhof

When installing minimals you have MKII, XeTeX and MKIV. I understand that you should normally use MKIV, but when are the other two used? -- Cecil Westerhof

18 Mar '11

Hi, in December we had 4000 pages limit, now I only reach 700 pages limit: pages > flushing realpage 615, userpage 619 pages > flushing realpage 616, userpage 620 PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (stack overflow (out of stack space)) mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 It's a book wih 7 chapters, each of it run fine. Only typesetting the entire project (not even with TOC) gives this error. Is there help? Steffen (ConTeXt ver: 2011.02.25 22:03 MKIV)

Running texec on it yields a bunch of weird characters where the accents should be. What am I doing wrong? thanks, Pau

Hoefler font in Mark IV
by Charles Doherty 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Dear all, I have been using Hoefler font successfully in a newsletter. I am now processing it in MarkIV but I don't get bold or bold italic. Italic is not quite the same either. I am using simplefonts. I have the .dfont and the .ttf on my system. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Charlie
