can Context render complex scripts?
by Michael Saunders 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

My first experiments aren't going well. For example: using the free font, BNBDOT0N.ttf, from Deutsche Welle here: http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,3219221,00.html and the following typescript, "type-bidisha.tex": \starttypescript [serif] [dwbangla] \definefontsynonym[DWbangla][name:BNBIDISHAOpentypeNormal][features=body] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [dwbangla] \definefontsynonym[Serif][DWbangla][features=body] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [dwbangla] \definetypeface [dwbangla] [rm] [serif] [dwbangla] [default] [script=beng,features=body] \stoptypescript I try the following test: \definefontfeature[default][mode=node,language=dflt,script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes] \definefontfeature[body][default][mode=node,script=latn,onum=yes,pnum=yes,calt=yes,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] %just to be sure: \definefontfeature[indic][body][nukt=yes,akhn=yes,rphf=yes,blwf=yes,half=yes,pstf=yes,vatu=yes,pres=yes,blws=yes,abvs=yes,psts=yes, haln=yes,blwm=yes,abvm=yes,dist=yes] \usetypescriptfile[type-bidisha] \starttypescript [MTbook] \definetypeface [dwbangla] [rm] [serif] [dwbangla] [default] [script=beng,language=ben,features=body] \stoptypescript \def\bengali#1{{\switchtobodyfont[dwbangla]\addff{indic}\language[ben]#1}} \usetypescript[MTbook] \starttext \bengali{সত্যজিৎ রায়} \stoptext "সত্যজিৎ" isn't rendered correctly in the output---after a the first two characters, things go wrong. Yet, with the same font, it is rendered correctly everywhere else I look in windows---notepad, Firefox, TexnicCenter, etc., etc. To see what a correct rendering should look like, google "সত্যজিৎ রায়" or see here: http://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%9C%… or here (first word in text, in bold): http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo113/andbipul/All%20about%20JJ/JJ%20Tor… I tried this with several other free and MS fonts (e.g., arial Unicode MS) and got the same results. Am I doing something wrong?

Itemize, margins and nowhite
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hello, Strange, but if I specify margins for itemize, then "nowhite" losts its effect, and I need to specify it again in every itemize group. \setupitemize[1,leftmargin=1cm, rightmargin=1cm, nowhite] \startitemize[nowhite] %duplicate, but does not work without it \item a \item b \stopitemize Rgrds, Vyatcheslav

[OT] How TeX Gyre small caps were generated?
by Khaled Hosny 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

I'm just wondering how TeX Gyre were generated, did they use some MetaType1 magic, or was it designed by hand. I've vague memories suggesting the former, but I can't find anything about this right now, nor I can find MataType sources of the fonts (if there are). I'd like to use such technique for XITS fonts, since STIX didn't provide small caps, and I'm not into hand designing hundreds of LGC small caps.

status message of mtxrun --ifchanged
by Aditya Mahajan 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hi, When I run mtxrun --ifchanged, it echoes the status messages on stdout. This makes it impossible to use mtxrun --ifchanged as part of a standard unix pipe. What is the right way to resolve this? * Output these messages to stderr rather than stdout? * Provide a --silent option mtxrun that suppresses all output? I can parse the generated output and remove the lines starting with MTXrun, but that is no fun. Aditya

Hello, "\ref[t][...]" does not work as expected, or I expect the wrong thing: \starttext \startsection[title=Problem here, reference=sec1] Section text: \ref[t][sec1] \stopsection \startsection[title=Workaround] \reference[sec2]{Workaround} Section text: \ref[t][sec2] \stopsection \stoptext A related question: how can I get rid of the quotation marks of \about[]?

failure with "luatools --generate"
by Eythan Weg 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hi, I ran into trouble compiling beta of June 10. It seems to me that luatools is now a script run under mtxrun. Under linux I made executable the scripts scripts/context/stubs/unix/{mtxrun,context, luatools}. Now when I run luatools --generate I get MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | fileio: warning: no lua configuration files found MTXrun | MTXrun | MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'mtx-base.lua' MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua' MTXrun | MTXrun | runtime: 0.008 seconds What does it mean? I had no trouble with earlier versions of luatools Thank you. Eythan

↦ in xits
by Yury G. Kudryashov 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hi! I use $x↦2x$ in xits, and it prints x→2x instead of x↦2x. The same file works with latin modern. It seems that xits-math contains U+21A6 (↦) symbol (at least, kcharselect displays this character in xits-math font), so it should be related to some meta-information.

sgf package

Hi, what is the status of the SGF package? When I wanted to install it (extras="t-sgf"), the installation failed and it did not install even with the option extras=all. When I manually downloaded and installed it (version 1.0.5), a compilation of included examples ended with the following error: system : module go loaded (t-go.tex loading : Context User Module / Go Module system : module sgf loaded (t-sgf.tex loading : Context User Module / Go Module system : module deadstone loaded (t-deadstone.tex loading : Context User Module / Dead stone calculator for go (deadstone.mkiv<deadstone.lua>)) system : module sgf-generic loaded (t-sgf-generic.tex loading : Context User Module / Go extensions !

Thanks. 2. After installing all the packages there is a t-layout directory (instead of layout) in "texmf-context\tex\context\third" and "texmf-context\doc\context\third". Probably mistake? Ivo

Line Numbering (blank lines)
by David Abdurachmanov 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

Hi, How make ConTeXt to number blank lines? Blank lines by default are skipped. Especially when giving programming examples (source code) in ConTeXt documents, I would prefer blank lines still have number. david _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
