Mixing math fonts, help ?
by gummybears 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi, On http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bold_Math section "Mixing Math Fonts" I tried to mix in the Asana Math font for the missing integral symbols. 0x222B normal integral \int 0x222C double integral \iint 0x222D triple integral \iiint 0x222E contour integral \oint 0x222F surface integral \oiint 0x2230 volume integral \oiiint However I don't want to switch to the whole Asana Math, because the math looks ugly, just want to get to the missing symbols in math mode. To all the experts on the list, please be patient with me. I am just some one who documents math and physics texts but I am not a programmer or Tex wizard. My knowledge of Context is ok, but still beginners level. I really don't know how to get it to work and it's stopping me. Using the latest Context/Luatex version ConTeXt version 2010.06.20 00:01 LuaTeX date stamp 2010061909 I tried a modified version \starttypescript [math] \definefontsynonym [MathSymbol] [Asana-Math] \definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [ComputerModernMath-Roman] \definefontsynonym [MathExtension] [ComputerModernMath-Extension] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[math] \starttext \startlines 0x222B normal integral $\int_{a}^{b}$ 0x222C double integral $\iint_{a}^{b}$ 0x222D triple integral $\iiint_{a}^{b}$ 0x222E contour integral $\oint_{a}^{b}$ 0x222F surface integral $\oiint_{a}^{b}$ 0x2230 volume integral $\oiiint_{a}^{b}$ 0x2A0C space time $\iiiint_{a}^{b}$ \stoplines This file has been typeset on \currentdate{} at \currenttime, with \doifmodeelse{mkiv} {mkiv, LuaTeX version \the\luatexversion, LuaTeX revision \luatexrevision, (LuaTeX date stamp \luatexdatestamp), using the command: \par \type{context test-luatex.tex}\par} {mkii, using the command: \par \type{texexec test-luatex.tex}\par} \blank ConTeXt version \contextversion. \stoptext

End of document command or character
by Matija Šuklje 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hullo hullo! I've often seen articles and documents to use a special character to show that the text is being continued over page and another one to show that this is the end of the text. Is there something like that available in ConTeXt? Currently I would need e.g. a midaligned squiggly line or "* * *" or something to determinate the bottom of the text on the last page of my CV.

typefile behaviour
by Gery Debongnie 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Dear ConTeXt list, I encountered a weird behaviour while using typefile. Here is a minimal example, to illustrate what I am saying. We have two files, test.txt and test.tex, respectively (between the ---------). ----------------- 1 2 3 4 5 ------------------- \setuptyping [before={\startframedtext}, after={\stopframedtext}] \starttext \typefile[start=2,stop=4]{test.txt} \typefile[start=2,stop=5]{test.txt} \stoptext ------------------- Now, if you save those lines into test.txt and test.tex, and if you compile the tex file, you get the exact same boxes. As far as I understand it, ConTeXt works as I expect when there is no empty line, meaning that it typeset the lines between start and stop. However, when there is an empty line right after the last line, ConTeXt also includes it. I don't really understand that behaviour. Perhaps it is something to do with different paragraphs, I don't know. However, what I do know is that it is annoying. It adds an empty line at an unwanted place, and it looks unprofessional in my text. So, my question is the following : 1. Why does it behave like that? Is that a bug? 2. What should I do to solve that problem? Regards, Géry D.

Hi, some months ago Vyatcheslav asked for an option with \setupmathematics to switch between sans and serif. Just now I need exactly this! (It is needed in the field of math for architecture/engineering.) Is this available meanwhile? Steffen

synctex and --result
by Yury G. Kudryashov 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Hi! I try to use ConTeXt with synctex. I generate two versions of my paper, so I use --result option. Context renames the .pdf file, but not .synctex.gz, hence inverse search doesn't work. As a workaround, I renamed the "draft for me" version to the default output name.

XITS fonts
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Thank you, Khaled, for the effort. State-of-the-art and out-of-the-box math font is the feature I miss ) A few questions to get me on track: 1) is xits typescript already present in minimals? If no, where to get it? 2) is it Times-compatible (I mean looks good with Times text) Rgrds, Vyatcheslav
