TeX Gyre and (no) Cyrillic
by Mojca Miklavec 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Dear Cyrillic users, this is just to let you know (in particular Vyatcheslav) that minimals still contain an outdated version of TeX Gyre fonts. Below you can read part of font development history. Simply put: Cyrillic support has been removed a few months ago (I didn't follow closely and didn't notice that right away). We might keep a zip with the old font files somewhere, but support for Cyrillic will be gone by default. Someone would need to take over the development of Cyrillic glyphs if they were to be supported. And someone needs to fix the wiki page. Please do not blame me - we cannot do anything but follow what the Polish have decided. If anyone disagrees, you are welcome to form a team to work on those glyphs. Ver 2.003: 16.09.2009 * this is the first official release of the TeX Gyre Termes fonts since June 22, 2009, when URW++, represented by Dr. Peter Rosenfeld, its Managing Director, kindly agreed to release the original 35 base PostScript fonts as shipped with Ghostscript ver. 4.00 under the LPPL (LaTeX Project Public License). This should be understood so that the 35 base Postscript fonts may be used and developed either under the LPPL or one of the GPL (GNU Public Licence) or AFPL (Aladdin Free Public Licence). The latter were put in force with the initial release of the base fonts with Ghostscript ver. 4.00 in 1996. Hereby we thank Dr. Rosenfeld. The TeX Gyre fonts are being develped from the Ghostscript ver. 4.00 base. For reasons explained elsewhere, we prefer to provide our work under the GUST Font Licence (GFL) which is legally equivallent to the LPPL. However, since 1996 the 35 PostScript base fonts were enhanced under the GNU Public License with Vietnamese glyphs by Han The Thanh and Cyrillic glyphs by Valek Filippov. Han The Thanh kindly permitted his additions to be retained under under GFL/LPPL in this and future TeX Gyre fonts releases. Unfortunately, we were unable to receive a similar permission from Valek Filippov for his Cyrillic glyphs, thus there are no Cyrillic glyphs in any of the TeX Gyre fonts. * with the removal of the Cyrillic glyphs all t2a-*.tfm, t2b-*.tfm t2c-*.tfm files and the relevant LaTeX *.fd files were also removed.

Natural Tables Cell Borders
by Curiouslearn 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Help needed! The fifth \setupTABLE command below reduces the rulethickness of the bottomframe in cells (2,5) and (3,5). Is there a way to avoid that? I just want the rightframe to be thin in these cells, but the bottomframe to be thick. Thanks a ton! \starttext \start \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[column][align={middle,lohi}] \setupTABLE[2,3,4,][1,5][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=1pt] \setupTABLE[1,4][2,3,4,5,][rightframe=on,rulethickness=1pt] \setupTABLE[2,3][2,3,4,5][rightframe=on,rulethickness=0.2pt] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \eTD\bTD \eTD\bTD[nc=2] {\bf 2} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD\bTD \eTD \bTD a2 \eTD \bTD b2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=3] 1 \eTD \bTD a1 \eTD \bTD 2,2 \eTD \bTD 4,5 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD b1 \eTD \bTD 5,4 \eTD \bTD 3,3 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD c1 \eTD \bTD 6,6 \eTD \bTD 4,4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop \stoptext

What is the luatex version of \pdfescapehex
by Zhichu Chen 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Hi, I've written a very old module which used a lot of pdf primitives like \pdfescapehex and \pdfescapename etc. and it turns out not they don't work in mkiv. So I just want to know are there any alternatives?

resetting local footnote number (conversion = character)
by Bowen Alan C. 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Yet another try. I have some local footnotes (conversion = character) and would like to reset set the counter (a) to “a” and (b) to a specific value other than “a”. How can I do this? re (a) \resetnumber[localfootnote] does not work. ! Missing \endcsname inserted. <to be read again> \numberlocalfootnotenumber \setcounter #1#2->\@EA \xdef \csname #1 \endcsname {\the \numexpr #2\relax } l.217 \resetnumber[localfootnote] Am I even right to assume that there is a pre-defined localfootnote counter?

cutmarks length setting?
by Hans van der Meer 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

I would like to make the cutmarks (those placed around the four corners of a page) a little longer. I have looked into the sources (contextbeta) but could not spot where to set the length of these lines. What do I have to do to vary their length? Hans van der Meer

startbuffer fails with %
by H. van der Meer 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

\startbuffer[ABC]% {} Braces at beginning fails with buffer \stopbuffer \starttext \getbuffer[ABC] \stoptext Error message: ! File ended while scanning use of \dododowithbuffer. <inserted text> \par Remove the {}'s at the beginning and all is well. The culprit however is the % in the first line; remove and the braces do no harm. I suspect that a missed newline is the cause. If that cannot be remedied, I advise adding a warning in the manual.

Referencing...
by Willi Egger 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hi, I have small tabulations which contain references to footnotes in the header line. - The footnotes are placed correctly, how ever if I refer to the references I get in 2 out of the three cases ?? i.e. ConTeXt does not know the reference. I am puzzled because it works for the third reference... When extending the list of footnotes again the referencing works only for the last reference. Is there something changed in the approach in MKIV? \starttext \starttabulate[|l|c|r|r|r|] \NC Issue \NC Time \NC Avg.\footnote[av]{Average log\low{10} values} \NC s\footnote[stdv]{Standard deviation} \NC se\footnote[se]{Standard error of the mean} \NC\NR \NC A \EQ 1 \NC 3.85 \NC 1.06 \NC 0.31 \NC\NR \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|l|c|r|r|r|] \NC Issue \NC Time \NC Avg.\note[av] \NC s\note[stdv] \NC se\note[se] \NC\NR \NC B \EQ 1 \NC 1.18 \NC 0.8 \NC 0.23 \NC\NR \stoptabulate Look at s\note[av] \stoptext I am using: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.50.0-2009122422 ConTeXt ver: 2010.01.03 12:54 MKIV fmt: 2010.1.4 int: english/english Kind regards Willi

Thanks, Alexandre
