times new roman, arial and courier fonts
by Marius 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Hello all, how to set times new roman as \rm, arial as \ss and courier as \tt? \usetypescriptfile[type-win] \usetypescript[times] \usetypescript[arial] \usetypescript[courier] \setupbodyfont[times,10pt] This code sets just \rm, but \ss and \tt are left as default latin modern font. Thank you, Marius

Speed of texexec with Unicode TrueType Font
by Bryant Eastham 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

All- Apologies if the question should go to another list - let me know if so. I am using texexec with MSPMincho on a Japanese utf-8 document. I followed the instructions and it appears to work well. Texexec runs several passes, and on each pass spends a *long* time integrating each font "page". I get many lines saying: {<path to enc>/MSPMinchoXX.enc}<<path to tt>/MSPMincho.ttf> The time taken in this process is many times that of the rest of the conversion. The resulting PDF font properties lists "MS-PMincho (Embedded Subset), Type: TrueType, Encoding: Built-in" 75 times. I imagine that I am glad that the whole font is not included (for file size). However, during development it is painful to wait. Is there a way to optimize the process? Thanks, -Bryant [Panasonic] Panasonic Electric Works Laboratory of America - SLC Lab 4525 So.

beta
by Hans Hagen 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The most important new feature is that nested footnotes are working better now (like notes in tabulate). For the moment this is not enabled by default. Use \automigrateinserts if needed. Test case: \chapter{What a notes \footnote{1} \footnote{2} \footnote{3} \footnote{4} \footnote{5} \footnote{6}} \starttabulate \NC test \NC test \footnote{7} \input tufte \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \footnote{8} \input tufte \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \footnote{9} \input tufte \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \footnote{10} \input tufte \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \footnote{11} \input tufte \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \footnote{12} \input tufte \NC \NR \stoptabulate Of course this a mkiv-only feature. More control will be added later.

Multiple text flows
by Salil Sayed 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hi, My book needs to have two separate texts for two different audiences. I get the inspiration from http://books.google.co.in/books?id=qdltz8N9qSEC&lpg=PP1&dq=the%20body%20mul…. Here the author is separating each page on two parts. The top text is descriptive while lower text is literature research relating to the upper text. I want to have one text flowing on right page and another on left. However, they are interconnected i.e. parallel. So there needs to be an anchoring mechanism so that on each right-left page couple they are talking about the same thing. I am new to ConText but not shy of programming. I can explore any clues you give. Thanks, Salil

Strange Behaviour / Strange Memory effect when creating pdf charts with the chart module in context
by moritz braun 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Dear All I am experiencing a strange problem with the chart module using context on ubuntu. this module allows for the creating of nice flow charts! however when creating the flow chart from the source code with texexec --pdf chart.tex the resultiong pdf file sometimes shows information that is not in the tex file but was in a previous version of it, i.e. some kind of a wierd memoery effect is present I am wondering, where does context keep its cache. In order to debug this problem I installed context on another ubuntu box and when freshly installed , i.e. for the first call of texexec the result was fine. however any subsequent call will again create unpredictable effects. I have written some documentation using context and the chart module and today is may last day in the project and I need to hand this over! regards Moritz -- Prof M Braun Tel.:27-12-4298006/8027 Physics Department Fax.: 27-12-4293643 University of South Africa (UNISA) moritz.braun(a)gmail.com P.O.

simpleslides - no macros found errors
by Himanshu B. Dave 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

I am a new user of simpleslides. Linux 2.6.21 kernel, Slackware 12.0, teTeX installed latest version of t-simpleslides via t-simpleslides.zip in /usr/share/texmf tree Executed: mktexlsr confirmed: appearance of t-simpleslides.tex in /usr/share/texmf/ls-R confirmed: path via kpsewhich t-simpleslides.tex copied: speaker_introduction-2min.tex to my HOME directory, and tried to compile it. Got the following errors: system : no macros found in module style=Boxed system : macros of module font=Bookman already loaded ... ... ... ! Undefined control sequence. l.29 \SlideTitle {Speaker's Name} ? Incidentally, context system itself is running OK. Am I missing something? Or, doing something silly? Help requested. Thanks.

You need to add \unprotect and \protect \unprotect \pgfutil@definecolor{...} \protect They are similar to \makeatletter and \makeatother in LaTeX. The correct way is to ConTeXt's color mechanism to define colors. For example, \usemodule[tikz] \definecolor[mycolor][r=1,g=0,b=1] \starttext \starttikzpicture \node[text=mycolor] {Test} ; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext This works with MkII but gives an error with MkIV. ! Undefined control sequence. \pgfutil@registercolor ...ef \pgf@temp {\PDFcolor {#1}}\edef \pgf@marshal {\... \pgfutil@colorlet ...x \pgfutil@registercolor {#2} \fi \edef \pgf@marshal {\n... \tikz@next ...futil@colorlet {.}{\tikz@textcolor } \fi \pgfsetcolor {.}\setbo... l.7 \node[text=mycolor] { Test} That is because MkII and MkIV have a different color model, and tikz does not support the MkIV model yet. I am attaching a fix for that. I do not know what is the best way to incorporate it into tikz (perhaps a pgfutils-mkiv.tex file). For the moment, you can just input it after loading tikz. Aditya
