first page puzzle
by Alan Bowen 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

The following code \setuphead[chapter][page=yes] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location={header, middle},state=nomarking] \installpagebreakhandler{last}{} \definehead[Item][title] \setupsectionblock[Item][number=no,page=right] \setuphead[Item][after={\blank[2*big]},alternative=middle,style={\tfa \rm}] \setuphead[Item][header=high,footer={}] \setupheadertexts[text] [{\sc\ItemTitle}] [\pagenumber] [\pagenumber] [{\it xxxxx}] produces no header or footer on the first page, just as I want, in a multi-page document. What I am not seeing is why the same code produces a header (“ItemTitle....pagenumber”) when the document is only one page in length. I realize that I can insert \setupheader[state=high] in the source file of my single-page documents to get what I want, but that would still leave me puzzled. Any suggestions/explanations would be much appreciated. Alan

Bug in footnote mechanism when compiling per chapter?
by Gerben Wierda 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

I had in my project file \definenote[endnote][location=none] \setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2,way=bypage] which I moved to my environment file. But wherever I have it, when I compile per chapter, the footnote mechanism fails because it runs out of symbols to use. When I compile the entire book. no such problem occurs. Is this a ConTeXt bug?

font havoc
by Hans van der Meer 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Suddenly it seems, I am getting bad messages for quite normal math fonts: Warning: pdfetex (file cmsy8): kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / -- bdpi 72 --mag 1+7/72 --dpi 79 cmmi10 mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfzzz and resolution 72; ignoring mode. mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 72 dpi devices. mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me. (<<<< Why is this?) Font cmsy8 at 72 not found Warning: pdfetex (file cmmi10): Font cmmi10 at 79 not found {/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist/fonts/enc/dvips/psnfss/8r.enc}</ usr/local/te TeX/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/helvetic/uhvr8a.pfb></usr/local/ teTeX/shar e/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/helvetic/uhvb8a.pfb></usr/local/teTeX/ share/texmf- dist/fonts/type1/urw/courier/ucrr8a.pfb> I am not aware having changed to resolution 72 for ljfzzz or doing something different from previous installations of new context versions. The mode for ljfzzz was set with texconfig. I was running the 2005-10-27 context version, but reverting tot 2005-08-31 did not solve the problem. What has happened to my fonts? Has it something to do with the fact that tetex and context seem to use directories .texmf-config and .texmf-var differently? Why does something that ran without a hitch suddenly is broken? Does someone know how to restore things to normal? Hans van der Meer
