Hi, I've again a problem but I don't know how to solve it. Please help... I want to test the Image Database. The XML file for my testing is written and now I want to produce the PDF with this: texexec --pdf --use=fig-make test.xml and the output looks like this: (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex))kpathsea: Running mktextfm utmr8t mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input utmr8t This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4) kpathsea: Running mktexmf utmr8t !

ec encoding and tcaron
by Vit Zyka 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hi all, let allowed me some pessimism. I am working on our 40-years-scout-group-bulletin intensively for more then a month. I have to solve many many technical problems instead on focusing on the design. The Bulletin is rather complex but many problems are 'simple'. I start to doubt if ConTeXt (and that is why TeX generally) is good tool for such typsetting. Detective debugging is good fun but if time is going, no results, and the list of todo technical unwanted features is increasing... Only some of these 'bugs' I presented in this list. Even such number would be looking as making only troubles. Never mind, here is another problem I am puzzled by for 4 hours... Please imagine a simple code in ISO-8859-2: -------------------------------------- \enableregime[il2] %\enableregime[latin2] \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[10pt,rm] \starttext ťŤ % \tcaron\Tcaron \WORD{ťŤ} \stoptext --------------------------------------- It produces an error ! Undefined control sequence. <to be read again> ¢ It comes from the first letter inside \WORD{...}. The same letters outside \WORD are typeset OK. So ť is not defined. But where it should be defined? \tcacon def is OK. Other diacritics chars e.g. \dcaron, \rcaron are OK. I was looking to enco-ec, enco-il2, regi-lat. Upper/lower mapping and char codes seems to be OK. But more I looking into I less understand it. There is no regi-il2 file, so I expect that appropriate info goes from enco-il2. But any other (perhaps more appropriate) combination like \enableregime[latin2] \usetypescript[modern][ec] or \usetypescript[modern][il2] gives totaly wrong glyphs. I believe that ť uppecase bug also relates with ignoring making pseudo-caps for this letter by texfont --fontroot=X: --en=ec --ve=public --co=lm --source=auto --ca=0.8 lmbx10 So problem is somewhere in ec encoding. Can somebody help please? Thanks and sorry for my embittering - it aims to my own head. vit

kpse
by Hans Hagen 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hi, The latest distribution has an experimental ruby kpse class in kpsefast.rb (expects updates -). As far as i can measure it's not slower than native kpse and once loaded in a ruby prog it's faster of than reinvoking kpse each time; it can (optionaly) dump the database in a home/temp path which halves loading time. I will probably use this mechanism in the coming texexec/texutil (maybe also in texmfstart). The associated variant of kpsewhich is 'tmftools' (no help yet). Apart from basic kpsewhich functionality it will harbor more tree tools. texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex --trees=texmf,texmf-local can be very instructive on duplicate files on your machine and point you to problems. It has a --delete option which can be used as follows texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex --delete "texmf-local/fonts/.*/lm" this will remove dups in texmf-local (to be sure, one needs to pass --force as well) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

itemize + color question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Dear gang, This seems like a very easy one, but I can't figure it out: on my slides, I want numbered itemizations to appear item by item, and I want the previous items to be "greyed out." I think this can only be done by combining two itemize environments. This is what I tried: \setupitemize[1][n,packed,joinedup] \startitemize[color=darkgray] \item \color[darkgray]{one} \stopitemize \startitemize[color=white][continue] \item two \stopitemize But the switches color=something and continue seem to exclude each other: either I get a continued item numbered "2," but in grey, or I get a white item number "1". There must be some obvious mistake, but where? Thanks, and best Thomas

Why do size changes affect my math font?
by Brooks Moses 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Consider the following simple document, with is a minimalist version of the slides that I'm currently working on: \starttext The variables are $u$ and $p$. \stoptext This works fine; the text is in roman and the math in italics, just as I desire. However, I need a larger font for my slides, and thus I'm also using a font size command, like so: \starttext \tfc The variables are $u$ and $p$. \stoptext This causes the math to be in roman instead of italic. (It's not in "text font" per se; an \it after the \tfc will italicise the text but not the math, creating a quite odd effect.) Is there a reason for this? What's the cleanest way to fix it for all the various size commands? Thanks, - Brooks

A question on drawing functions in MetaFun
by Jin-Hwan Cho 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

I tried to generate "Figure 9.2 An example of a graphic with labels along the axes." in metafun-p.pdf (p.209), but could get only graphics without labels. I used the codes in the page 208 as follows (see the attached file) \startMPpage StartPage ; ... codes in p.208 here ... StopPage ; \stopMPpage In this case, the generated MPS file (ch93-1-mpgraph.1) had the bounding box (0, 0, 420, 596). When I used \startuseMPgraphic instead of \startMPpage, the generated MPS file had the different bounding box (-47, -17, 300, 575), and I could see the right one. Please tell me what I missed.

Problem installing ConTeXt jedit syntax mode
by Elliot Clifton 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Hi, I've added the context jedit mode files to the modes directory inside my jedit settings directory, and appended the mode to the catalogue. I get XML validation errors that state the various DELEGATEs are invalid. The external files (*-en, *-de, etc...) do not import. Why? What am I doing wrong? Elliot

math functions
by billet＠eurecom.fr 13 Aug '05

13 Aug '05

Hi, I would like to set the font used for math functions like \sin to be the body font. Of course, it should go for scriptsize when used in exponents. I tried without success to define \def\mfunction#1{{\tf\rm #1}} What is the conTeXt way to do this? Thanks for your help, Olivier
