Q: footline and more the oneline with pic
by Alexander Lazic 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hi, i have now find a solution but i don't know how 'good' it is, please can anybody knowing tell me his/her opinion, thanks. My target is in the footer should be the barlines and under that lines there must be a square with the Text 'Seite ' $PAGE. Btw: How can i change the distance between the item-symbol and the item-text, i think with one option from \setupitemize but which one ;-)?! What do you mean, is there a easier solution for that in context?!

Texfont map file.
by John R. Culleton 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

I always believed that when referring to a file in a \font statement one should use the first name found in the appropriate line in the map file. This is supposedly the name of the tfm file for that particular font. However texfont produces a map file like this: 8r-raw-AGaramond-Italic AGaramond-Italic 4 < AGaramond-Italic.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular AGaramond-Regular 4 < AGaramond-Regular.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-RegularSC AGaramond-RegularSC 4 < AGaramond-RegularSC.pfb 8r.enc ...and texfont actually produces two tfm files per font. The correct name to use in a \font statement is the second name in the generated map file statement, not the first. Since not all map file statements have the second parameter this can be confusing. Since texfont attempts to provide for both pdftex and Context users this little gotcha should be referenced in the texfont manual. I discovered it by accident. -- 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

I thought that it was causing texexec to only do one run and/or MP not to run; but that must have been a glitch, because having not changed anything it is completing its runs now. So, sorry for the noise, and thanks Hans for the explanation. Duncan

PDF v1.6 inclusion
by Duncan Hothersall 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hi. I'm trying to include some PDF files generated by Acrobat 7, which means they are PDF v1.6. ConTeXt (recent distribution, on linux) complains that "PDF version 1.6: Xpdf only supports 1.5". I thought that maybe I could switch to using Ghostscript instead of Xpdf-tools to process the files, in the hope that ghostscript would support 1.6, but I'm stymied trying to pass the correct parameter via texexec. Am I on the right track, and if so, what should I type? Many thanks, Duncan

Sorry to be a pain, but can anyone help with this? I'm converting a legacy system, in which everything (cross referencing, tables of contents, indices) was hand-coded in plain tex and Perl, across to ConTeXt. The advantage of having hand-coded the indexing stuff was that I could easily add features like eliding, or funny sort orders. I now need to reproduce the same output. I suspect I could apply the same techniques to the ConTeXt code, but I don't want to embark on a fool's errand if (a) it's already done somewhere, or (b) the code I hack is about to be replaced. Thanks, Duncan

Re: [NTG-context] ISO Latin 2 input under the new ConTeXt

Mojca Miklavec wrote: >There are two things: input encoding or regime (\enableregime[utf] inyour case) and font > > Many thanks, \enableregime did what I needed. But I still have some minor questions: 1) Where should I put \loadmapfile[psclean.map]? (I can't include it in pdftex.cnf, since there is none under my new teTeX 3.0 in SuSE.) 2) Is it a goold idea to place in the same file \enableregime[il2] if almost all my documents are typed in this encoding? 3) What is the native ConTeXt font encoding? If I use many different fonts (most being reencoded via virtual fonts into IL2 encoding), should I reencode them into the native ConTeXt font encoding (whatever it is), or can I make ConTeXt work with a different font encoding, perhaps different for different fonts? How? How? 4) What documentations for fonts in ConTeXt should I read, and in what order? And I have one (I hope) little plea to Mr. Hagen: Please, can you add MetaFont to your minimum TeX installation? I would like to use it instead of teTeX because it is more flexible. But I still use heavily some MetaFont bitmapped fonts. Many thanks anyway. Your thankful Michal Kvasnicka

New ConTeXt with old teTeX problem?
by Michal Kvasnička 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Good evening. After some time I tried to install the newest ConTeXt over my old teTeX in SuSE Linux 9.2. Everything seems to work. I use texexec version 5.4.3 with ConTeXt version 2005.08.31. ConTeXt gives this warning: systems : pdfTeX version 110 -> please update systems : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs) Then it failes on the minimal file: % output=pdf \starttext text \stoptext and gives this error: ! Missing { inserted. <to be read again> r <argument> \pdfobj r eserveobjnum {}\setxvalue \pdffontresource {\the \pdflas... \firstofoneargument #1->#1 <argument> ...tencoding }\to \everybeforeshipout } \fi \fi \ifcsname \pdffont... \firstofoneargument #1->#1 \doincludepdffontresource ...cludepdffontresource \fi ... l.5 \stoptext What's the problem? The old pdfetex? How can I upgrade it without reinstalling the whole SuSE system? I wouldn't mind to reject the teTeX and use Pragma's mimimum TeX distribution, but it does'nt include Metafont and I still need some .mf bitmapped fonts. Can you help me please? Your sincerely Michal Kvasnicka
