Trying MPtoPDF!
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 10 Jan '11

Hi, While trying to get some MetaPost plots converted to PDF, with the latest ConTeXt minimals installation (MkIV) on my Linux box, things happen which I don't understand, sorry! First I run the command: mtxrun --script which yields: MTXrun | TDS Runner Tool 1.26 MTXrun | MTXrun | no script name given, known scripts: MTXrun | MTXrun | babel 1.20 Babel Input To UTF Conversion MTXrun | base 1.35 ConTeXt TDS Management Tool MTXrun | cache 0.10 ConTeXt & MetaTeX Cache Management MTXrun | chars 0.10 MkII Character Table Generators MTXrun | check 0.10 Basic ConTeXt Syntax Checking MTXrun | context 0.51 ConTeXt Process Management MTXrun | convert 0.10 ConTeXT Graphic Conversion Helpers MTXrun | fonts 0.21 ConTeXt Font Database Management MTXrun | grep 0.10 Simple Grepper MTXrun | interface 0.11 ConTeXt Interface Related Goodies MTXrun | metatex 0.10 MetaTeX Process Management MTXrun | modules 1.00 ConTeXt Module Documentation Generators MTXrun | mptopdf 0.51 MetaPost to PDF Converter [more is output but NOT listed here!] When I run mtxrun --script mptopdf tobeconvertedplot.1 I get the following output: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010) \write18 enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt mptopdf.fmt mktexfmt: No such file or directory I can't find the format file `mptopdf.fmt'! MPtoPDF 1.4.0 : error while processing tex file By the way I've NO TeXLive installed! Why do the MTtoPDF versions (1.4 or 0.5!) not agree, and why does it not work? Do I need to install other tools to get it working? Regards, Gerard Verhaag

Computer Modern Typewriter Proportional
by Raymond LeClair 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Does anyone know how the "Computer Modern Typewriter Proportional" font would be specified in ConTeXt? In Latex is is specified as follows: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \renewcommand*\ttdefault{cmvtt} \renewcommand*\familydefault{\ttdefault} %% Only if the base font of the document is to be typewriter style See: http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/cmvtt/ Any help would be appreciated!

new beta
by Hans Hagen 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi, I uploaded a new beta: The character definitions have been updated (esp math, thanks to Aditya). After some testing by Wolfgang the decision was made to permit _ in macronames in modules. So, the following works: \unprotect \def\test_test_test#1#2{#1+#2=whatever} \test_test_test{1}{2} \protect In principle we can also support ^. The mkiv code base no longer uses _ and ^ in math in modules and those who write modules should avoid them as well. So, when writing macros in unprotected mode, one schould use: $x\normalsuperscript2\normalsubscript n$ Taco and I think that we can safely switch to \nonknuthmode in mkiv so this might happen soon (which means that _ and ^ become normal characters in text mode). Actually, being permanently in \nonknuthmode would permit _ and ^ in modules again. We could even make _ and ^ always letters outside math in which case \text_test etc would become possible everywhere but that needs some more consideration. In that case \def\make_subscript#1#2{\mathematics{#1_{#2}}} \make_subscript{x}{2} becomes valid everywhere. We can discuss this in detail at the dev list.

Unreadable characters in embedded PDF file
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hello all, Often I include external PDF files into PDF document generated by ConTeXt. When I create a PDF document containing text in Scribus (or other application) and then I put it to my PDF file (generating by ConTeXt), then in final PDF document are unreadable characters. Is there a problem in Scribus character encoding or the fact that the fonts contained in the included PDF file ConTeXt unknown? Thanks for the advice. Jaroslav

Math delimiters too big in lucida in MKII
by Yue Wang 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi, Hans: I dont know why you do this in math-lbr.mkii: \def\LBRbig {\@@dobig{8.20}} \def\LBRBig {\@@dobig{10.80}} \def\LBRbigg {\@@dobig{13.42}} \def\LBRBigg {\@@dobig{16.03}} \def\LBRbiggg{\@@dobig{17.72}} \def\LBRBiggg{\@@dobig{21.25}} % \def\LBRbig {\@@dobig{0.820}} % \def\LBRBig {\@@dobig{1.080}} % \def\LBRbigg {\@@dobig{1.342}} % \def\LBRBigg {\@@dobig{1.603}} % \def\LBRbiggg{\@@dobig{1.772}} % \def\LBRBiggg{\@@dobig{2.125}} I think the second set of parameters( the commented one) is correct. or \big,\bigg, etc will produce huge delimiters...
