kpathsea355.dll missing from 2005-11-16 mswintex.zip and mswincontext.zip
by Adrian Drury 24 Nov '05

The mswintex.zip and mswincontext.zip files on www.pragma-ade.com, dated 2005-11-16, are missing the kpathsea355.dll file from <root>/tex/texmf-mswin/bin. I discovered this while trying the URW Garamond installation instructions in the wiki, and the texfont command failed running vptovf. The kpathsea355.dll file was in mswincontext.zip that I downloaded at the beginning of September, so I copied it from there to my minimal (re)installation (and successfully completed the URW Garamond installation instructions). For future reference, is this type of issue better tracked in the collector? Regards, Adrian Drury

Hitting "s" at this point to scroll through the errors, the compile finishes and I have an mfonts.pdf. Of course, the Lucida stuff is missing. So, I have the Lucida fonts. How should I install them with texfont? David

Lucida Fonts
by David Arnold 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

All, Now that YandY is defunct, where would one now purchase the Lucida font. We used to be able to get the entire set from YandY, math included. Does that set still exist and where can it be purchased? David

Indenting totally disappeared?

Since I upgraded my ConTeXt, even doubling the \setupindenting[medium,next] fails to give me any paragraph indentation. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

New bib module beta 2

Hi, There is a new beta, again: http://tex.aanhet.net/bib/m-bib-beta-20051123b.zip Tobias Burnus wrote: > > How about adding alike for DOI (see below), not much tested. patch applied, so \cite[doi] should be interactive now Giuseppe Bilotta wrote: > \setupheadtext[it][\biblistname=Bibliografia] added.

How can I fix these things? Right-align only worked when autohang=yes. I've made bibl-ams.tex turn autohang on now, but I have also made the alignment work after \setuppublicationlist[width=36pt] (the module checks whether width= is set, and if so, it typesets the labelbox within the specified width) Greetings, Taco

New bib module beta
by Taco Hoekwater 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi, I've created a new beta of the bib module, and uploaded it to my server. You can get it here: http://tex.aanhet.net/bib/m-bib-beta-20051123.zip News compared to the previous beta: * 2 new styles: - bibl-num.tex: c.f. plain.bst - bibl-ams.tex: AMS style (from Giuseppe) * fix the "hash marks" bug * fix the vertical spacing issues in the bib list * add interaction to \cite[url] * allow a defaulted \setupcite * renamed citation type 'number' to 'serial' * better definition of \inverted...author * don't reset [numbercommand] in \setuppublications by default * don't disable other \setuppublications keys if alternative= is present also (removes the need for doubling the \setup command) * drop the \sanitizeaccents for \cite (making accents work again) * added \nocite and \cite[none] Bugs that are still present: * internal links (\crossref field) are broken (workaround: \nocite[<crossref-ed entry>]) * items with missing years will break the compressed form of \cite[authoryear] and \cite[authoryears] * there is no interaction yet for most types of cite (but \cite[url] should work, as well as \cite[num] when compression is turned off) Hope I didn't forget to mention anything. It's not quite there yet, but it is slowly getting there. Cheers, Taco

A blank entry in the bibliography
by Giuseppe Bilotta 23 Nov '05

I'm seeing a blank entry in the bibliography. However, since it's not referenced in the text, I can't tell which one is it. Some debug options to find out? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

inactive -- and ---
by Henning Hraban Ramm 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

I'm just trying to modernize and enhance my old typescripts and reckognized that -- and --- become inactive (i.e. don't become endash and emdash, but stay dashes) with the SIL Gentium font (or at least with my typescript). How can that happen? And what can I do? I'm using the latest gwTeX (ConTeXt 2005-11-17). The typescript is attached, but I don't think the bug is in there...

Paper size, MediaBox, CropBox and cropping
by Pearson, Mark (Capita Symonds) 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi all, Does anyone know if it is possible to force the PDF output from ConTeXt to contain both a /MediaBox and /CropBox, having set up a document in the following manner: \definepapersize [BusinessCard] [width=85mm,height=54mm] \setuppapersize [BusinessCard] [A5,landscape] \setuplayout [location=middle, marking=on, header=0mm, footer=3mm, topspace=0mm, leftmargin=0mm, rightmargin=0mm, width=85mm, height=54mm, backspace=0mm] When I look at the PDF output I can only find the following box definition: /MediaBox [0 0 595.2756 419.5276] which works out to the size of the A5 sheet (595pt ~= 210mm, 419 ~= 148mm). However what I want to be able to encode in the PDF file is the size/position of the 'BusinessCard', or to put it another way, the positions of the crop marks, so that I can act upon that information using an external tool (specifically to generate a PNG image preview of the business card PDF with correct cropping) Many thanks, Mark. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Mark Pearson BSc (hons) MSc DPhil IT Consultant Capita Symonds The Capita Building, Kingmoor Business Park Carlisle.
