Hi, Tonight I had to generate linux binaries (due to serious bug in the pdftex 1.21 that runs on the server; btw, generating 64 bits version fails somehow) and afterwards i had to merge the new files into my trees so .. i extendedtextools textools --merge oldroot newroot (trial run, add --force to really do it) like in textools --merge /tmp/tetex /data/tex/texmf-linux --force only newer files will be merged and some checking is done i'll upload this version asap since it's also handy for merging fabrice's new binaries 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

unwanted font replacement during inclussion
by Vit Zyka 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

Hi, I noticed the next strange behaviour. Let us create very simple file test.tex: ------------------ \font\bf=cmbx12 Normal text. \bf Bold text. \end ------------------ Now include this file by plain pdftex: ------------------ \pdfximage{test.pdf} \pdfrefximage\pdflastximage \end ------------------ Everything is correct. No let us try to insert the file by context: ------------------ \starttext %\font\bf=cmbx12 %Normal text. \bf Bold text. \pdfximage{test.pdf} \pdfrefximage\pdflastximage \stoptext ------------------ And that is!!! Text 'bold text' is typeset with totaly different font from cmbx12, so it is smashed by wrong metric! See the attached file. If I uncomment two lines, so the font cmbx12 is not only present in the included file, the result is correct. Where is the problem? Something mixing cm and lm? I though that included file comes with all font resources. Hmmmm, now I feel it is more pdftex-related then context-related question. vit (pdfetex v1.30) -- Vít Zýka --- http://typokvitek.com Automatic document typesetting Automaticka sazba dokumentu -- --

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to comp.text.tex as well. XEmTeX is a Windows integrated distribution of PDFeTeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, TeX4ht plus XEmacs playing the text editor. The version 0.5-RC0 is available for download. It fixes many bugs of the previous 0.5-beta2 version. You will find all details on:: http://www.metz.supelec.fr/~popineau/xemtex-1.html The page http://www.fptex.org/ has been redirected to the same location. Beware: it is required to uninstall any previous version before trying to install any new one. I will be glad to hear about comments and hints to make that could help to enhance this distribution. Best regards, -- Fabrice Popineau ------------------------ e-mail: Fabrice.Popineau(a)supelec.fr | The difference between theory voice-mail: +33 (0) 387764715 | and practice, is that surface-mail: Supelec, 2 rue E.

Math and MATHML problem
by Wolfgang Zillig 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

Hello, I'm trying to typset some math. when I use \startbuffer ...here mathml ...\stopbuffer and a following \processXMLbuffer I get a nice centered formula. When I save that code to a file myeq1.xml and try to include it with \processXMLfile{myeq1.xml}I compillation stops at that point. \processXMLfilegrouped{myeq1.xml} produces a formula again but 2 additional symbold appear at the beginning of the formula. Questions: - What is my fault? - Whow can I set the alignment of formulas (ie leftaligned)? Thanks for any help \usemodule[mathml] \defineXMLentity [PartialD] {\getXMLentity{differentiald}} \starttext \startbuffer <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="block"> <mrow> <mi>q</mi> <mo>=</mo> <mfrac> <mrow> <mo>&PartialD;</mo> <mi>p</mi> </mrow> <mrow> <mo>&PartialD;</mo> <mi>x</mi> </mrow> </mfrac> <mo>=</mo> <mo>&PartialD;</mo> <mfenced> <mrow> <mi>φ</mi> </mrow> </mfenced> <msub> <mi>p</mi> <mrow> <mi>v</mi> <mi>s</mi> <mi>a</mi> <mi>t</mi> </mrow> </msub> <mfenced> <mrow> <mi>θ</mi> </mrow> </mfenced> <mfrac> <mrow> <mo>&PartialD;</mo> <mi>φ</mi> </mrow> <mrow> <mo>&PartialD;</mo> <mi>x</mi> </mrow> </mfrac> </mrow> </math> \stopbuffer \processXMLbuffer \stoptext

printing an envelope.
by John R. Culleton 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

Using my my Ricoh AP2600 printer I want to feed envelopes with the narrow side first, which means the the print image must be rotated 90 degrees. It is not clear how this can be done in Context. Here is an example file: -------------------------------------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \definepapersize[env][width=9.5in,height=4.25in] \setuppapersize[env,rotated 90][env] \setuparranging[rotated] \starttext \startstandardmakeup John Culleton\crlf 2401 Haight Avenue\crlf Eldersburg, MD 21784 \blank \hskip 3in \vbox{ Independent Contract Services\crlf Landmark Community Newspapers\crlf Carroll County Times\crlf P.O. Box 346\crlf Westminster MD 21158 } \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext ------------------------------------------ It seems no matter what I do (and perhaps I am doing too much) I cannot create a pdf file that is rotated properly for this particular printer. It stubbornly insists in printing across instead of down. Any suggestions? -- John Culleton

force columns smaller in Table
by Paul Tremblay 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

Is there a way to force colums to be narrower than the default in the Table (basic) table environment? The first line of my column is: Amount spent on store modernization by the chains The columns underneath are all single numbers, meaning they have huges spaces to the right: year Amount spent on store modernization by the chains === ================================================= 1933 33,000,000 1934 37,000,000 Do I have to use the more sophisticated TABLE module? (I hope not, because I have already laid out things with Table!) Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************

FW: fleurons - reprise
by Keith McKay 31 May '05

Sorry. This time with the attachment. Keith -----Original Message----- From: Keith McKay [mailto:mckaymeister@gmail.com] Sent: 31 May 2005 20:16 To: 'ntg-context(a)ntg.nl' Subject: fleurons - reprise Thanks to Hans and Adam for the helpful advice. The code from Adam looked a bit daunting to me as a learner at first but when I changed [pzdr] to [uzdr] it worked fine. I attach the output from Adam's code which also includes his query about symb-run in a previous message. Hope this is of use. From the further discussion between them I hope I didn't open a can of worms. One last question. I did a search on the web for fleuron fonts and came up with a few interesting hits. To use these in Context is it a case of following the 'Texfont explained' and 'Fonts in Context' manuals? I think I have seen some 'My Way' (or is it 'This way'... well, 'Whatever way' ;>) ) on the Wiki about this as well. I realize this is not a trivial pursuit for a beginner but I would like to give it a try. Are there any pitfalls to look out for or should I just dive in?
