Par break/justification problem
by Giuseppe Bilotta 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

I have a paragraph that is formed by two parts: these are normally run together, except when the last line of the first part ends at less than a certain amount max_amount from the right margin. In this case, there should a 'seamless line break', i.e. a line break with the text still fully justified to the right margin. Example: First part of the paragraph: second part is run in and then the text continues. Second example: This is still the first part of the pagrah: second part will now be put on the next line but the last line of the first part should be fully justified. What kind of hskip/penalty/whatever combo should I put between the first and last part for this to happen? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Insufficient symbol fonts error
by Alan Bowen 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

I am getting some puzzling errors when I try to use the Greek fonts in math formulae (to represent Greek numerals as written in mss.) In a short file, both \overbar{\grk{kj}} and $\overline{\hbox{\grk{kj}}}$ work as expected, even when they occur in Greek text. But in a long, complicated file with lots of Greek etc. and the same environment file, I get ! Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts. \stopmathmode ->$ \dodounderbar ...nderbar {-\dimen 0}{\dimen 2}{#1} \egroup \processisolatedwords ...dwordsfalse #2{\unhbox 0} \else \isolatedwordstrue \... \redounderbar ...sisolatedwords {#2}\dodounderbar \egroup l.1 ...-n'o\-menoc <hmer\-~wn \overbar {\grk {kj}} ka`i pr'wtwn <exhkost~wn ... \rescanwithsetup ...\scantokens {#2\ignorespaces } \egroup l.81 ...wn >embol'imwn <hmer~wn d/ >ep'ages\-jai.} [8.44] \grk {<'ojen o>u de... I am note really sure what this error message means or how to deal with it. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. I am running the latest ConTeXT on the latest teTeX distribution. Best, Alan

RE: [NTG-context] ConTeXt release of october 27.

Hi Hans and Taco, >===== Original Message From Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> ===== >I've created a wiki page for the new release Hans made last >thursday: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes Before I try to upgrade: Were the ctxtools fixed? (I already hacked many of the map files by hand and don't want to do it again->) Best Idris ==================Oct. 15 05=================== Dear Hans and the rest of the gang, This is just a friendly reminder for the next ConTeXt version. There is a bug in the ctxtools. Consider the original-public-lm.map. Lines such as cmbsy10 cmbsy10 cmbsy5 cmbsy5 cmbsy6 cmbsy7 should become either cmbsy10 default cmbsy10 cmbsy5 default cmbsy5 cmbsy6 default cmbsy7 partucularly when the name of the tfm and pfb do differ; or just cmbsy10 cmbsy5 cmbsy6 where the name of the tfm and pfb do NOT differ. Otherwise dvipdfmx will fail-( Probably easier to just do <tfm> default> pfb> for all such cases... ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

"learning path" is an acronym I've found while using Dokeos elearning platform, as an equivalent to a course i guess. For creating a course/learning path you assemble differents documents in a l.p.. When the alumni/trainee reads this course, he will be able what he have to read next after the fisrt doc, and so on. I've made a graphic capture of the webpage for showing what elements are making a learning path in the Dokeos vision : list of doc allready readen, docs to read, progression bar, plus the breadcrumb trail; i don't want to put so much stuff in the pdfs made wit Context(apart putting an A4 text on an A3 page!) because i keep a printable A4 format for my courses, even i there interaction in it, for screen usage. So i wish to have only vertical progression bars + percentage in the inner margin. s-pre-01 "original" style show a bottom interaction bar filled with pagenumbers drawn as little rectangles. Maybe it's possible to draw a continuous bar with metapost, but for percentage ? Ideally, i wish to have 2 progression bars : one for project progression and second for product prog. Thanks for listening. -- olivier Turlier -- Olivier TURLIER

suggestion for \startitemize.
by John R. Culleton 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

It is possible to nest \startitemize sequences, But each level requires a different parameter in the \startitemize statement. OTOH the \orderedlist command in eplain.tex uses 1,2,3 for the outside list, then a,b,c for the first nest, roman numerals for the next nest and finally "*" for the innermost list. A similar automatic sequence or sequences would be useful in Context. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf

Please add Fraktur to the math fonts
by Giuseppe Bilotta 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

The Fraktur fonts are missing from the standard math definitions. Currently, I have this kind of hack in t-amsl: \definebodyfont [17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt] [mm] [mc=eufm10 sa 1] \definebodyfont [8pt,7pt,6pt] [mm] [mc=eufm7 sa 1] \definebodyfont [5pt] [mm] [mc=eufm5] Basically, for what I can see, the problem is that mc= is not defined in the default typescript files. Adding it would be as simple as replicating the mi lines into mc lines, at least for computer-modern & similar, since the actual font used is the same. Could this please be done for the official distribution? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
