Lucida Fonts with MKIV
by Troy Henderson 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

I am a LaTeX user for about 15 years, but I am very new ConTeXt. I am having trouble using the complete set of Lucida fonts purchased from TUG. http://www.tug.org/store/lucida/ I have followed the first set of instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida and the fonts work great for MKII (texexec). When building the same document (that works for MKIV) with MKIV (context), the text fonts are fine but the math fonts are set in Roman instead instead of math. Is there an easy way to adapt the configuration file(s) for MKII to MKIV? If this is possible but just requires a tedious process, I'm willing to do this, but I have no clue of the steps needed. I would appreciate any advice. Troy Henderson

Change Font in PDF-fields
by Andreas Harder 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Hi all, if I use the following setup \setupfield [ShortLine] [label,frame,horizontal] [height=fit,framecolor=green] [] [height=18pt,type=normal] % <- is mono \definefield [Email] [line] [ShortLine] [] [pragma(a)wxs.nl] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] \field [Email] [E-Mail:] \stopTEXpage \stoptext the type-setting don't seem to have any affect, it's always mono. Is it possible to use a system font for typing in a field? Thanks in advance Andreas

examples from xml-mkiv

Dear Wolfgang and others, (Reference: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/046680.html; I'll continue this here as the original thread is growing rather large.)

So now I went on to try the examples from said xml-mkiv.pdf and they don’t seem to work. Running context on them as they are will stop at a TeX-prompt, typing \end into it will finish the run but no pdf is produced. The log file is quiet as usual. However, naively adding \starttext TEST \stoptext to the document will result in a pdf that looks as if the XML part was ignored. Are those examples supposed to work as they are given in xml-mkiv or is there some switch to get them working? Thanks in advance, Philipp Btw there’s a typo in section 1.1: the xml declaration should read <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> ^ -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

How can we change the width, height and color of the second node ("chart") in this example: \usemodule[chart] \setupFLOWcharts[height=3\lineheight] \startFLOWchart[example] \startFLOWcell \name {flow} \location {1,1} \text {Flow} \connection [rl] {chart} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {chart} \location{2,1} \text {Charts} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[example] ?

Can not register the callback functions in MkIV
by Yanrui Li 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Hi, Now it seems that we have not allowed to register the callback functions since beta 2010.02.18. For example: \startluacode local old_pre_linebreak_filter = callback.find ('pre_linebreak_filter') local function my_pre_linebreak_filter (head, groupcode) if old_pre_linebreak_filter then old_pre_linebreak_filter (head, groupcode) end print ('This is my pre_linebreak_callback') return true end callback.register ('pre_linebreak_filter', my_pre_linebreak_filter) \stopluacode \starttext This is just a test! \stoptext The 'my_pre_linebreak_filter' function can not work again. Is this a bug? -- Best regards, Li Yanrui

Magazine imposition.
by John Culleton 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

A person has asked for a solution to this problem: print a dual magazine where the first half is a regular magazine, but the second half is a magazine with the pages upside down with respect to the first half. In other words the back cover is really the front cover of the second magazine. I assume that the page counts of each magazine are equal. I know that Context has an extensive imposition capability but I don't think this particular problem has been addressed. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
