Dear All, I run Mac OS X 10.6 (Intel) running first-setup.sh (in empty dir, if that matters) results in /Users/master/context.new/bin/mtxrun:5416: attempt to index global 'tex' (a nil value) Any ideas? Sincerely, Michail

Combining \sc and \em
by Tim Wraight 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi, Under the latest beta (2009.10.02 13:14), it doesn't seem possible to access \SerifCapsSlanted by combining the \em and \sc font switches. The following test case demonstrates this: --- \definefont [SlantyCaps][SerifCapsSlanted] \starttext {\em Italics works.} \par {\sc Small caps works.} \par {\em \sc But how do we combine them?} \par {\SlantyCaps Except like this?} \stoptext --- A project I'm working on has certain words which always appear in smallcaps, and I'd like them to be italicised if the context demands it (no pun intended). Greetings from London, Tim

framed and footnotes
by Wolfgang Murth 18 Oct '09

Hi, I tried to put a footnote in a framed box, but the text of the footnote is not shown. Is that normal? Below you find a minimal sample of what I tried. I'm using mkiv 2009.10.02. %================================================================= \definecolor [caution] [r=1, g=.78, b=.62] \def\cautionbox#1{ \framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=caution,framecolor=red,align=normal,width=\textwidth]{#1}} \startbuffer \input tufte \stopbuffer \starttext \cautionbox{\getbuffer} \cautionbox{\getbuffer\footnote{And now a little footnote} \par\getbuffer} But as the text continues\footnote{And now a BIG footnote}. \stoptext %================================================================= Best regards Wolfgang Murth

index entries inside footnotes
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 Oct '09

18 Oct '09

Hi all, for the book project I'm typesetting, I need two indexes. I discovered that there is a slight problem with index entries in footnotes in mkiv. Here's a minimal example: \starttext Cats\index{cats} \index{cats}and \footnote[1]{dogs\index{dogs} and} more \index{dogs}dogs. \placeregister[index] \stoptext This gives the expected result in mkii; in mkiv, a spurious comma is added in front of the entry "dogs," which occurs inside a footnote. (btw, ideally I would like the index to have "1 n. 1" - can this be achieved?) All best Thomas

Mk IV setup, \showcharacters
by Peter Park Nelson 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hello, I'm a LaTeX user trying to move to ConTeXt Mk IV. I'm having trouble configuring my system on OS X. As a complete ConTeXt novice I'm not sure how to debug this, but I really want to get Mk IV working for some upcoming journal and book projects. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I understand that the current MacTeX/TeXLive 2009 testing versions have a broken Mk IV due to an old Luatex, so I installed MacTeX 2009 for testing and then upgraded Luatex to version 0.43 using the Contextgarden instructions for "Running Mark IV", regenerating the Context formats etc. using: "luatools --generate" "context --make --all" "context --make cont-en" (is this necessary if I do --make --all?) So far I can run a minimal test document and get pdf output, but I can't use \showaccents, \showcharacters, etc. -- I get an "undefined control sequence" error, The console output is below. I see the last line is referring to a .mkii file, I suspect that's the problem but I don't know how to get it to .mkiv... If this can be fixed, next I will work on getting TeXShop to use Mk IV; now it insists on using Mk II. Need an edited .engine file?

virtual fonts in luatex?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Hi all, I'm running into a problem, but maybe not all hope is lost. For my Greek stuff, I will sometimes need a "dotbelowcomb" accent. Only very few fonts have that, but no problem, in mkiv, I can simply take that from a follback font: \definefontfallback [GreekFallback] [name:texgyretermesregular] [0x0323] [force=no,check=no] Now I would like to remap the exclam character to this dotbelowcom. Again, no problem: with a fea file, I can write a sub rule sub exclam by dotbelowcomb but I can't combine both approaches: if the font doesn't have the character, I get an error about "invalid glyph index." In good old pdftex, it was possible to define a virtual font for such occasions, and I seem to remember that there's something similar in mkiv, but I'm unsure how it can be done. Any pointers? Thanks, and all best Thomas

Cambria integral operator
by Sebastian Sturm 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Hi all, I have been playing around a bit with the new ConTeXt Minimals and especially Cambria Math. I couldn't figure out, however, why the integral operator always comes out at about half the size of \sum or \prod. I couldn't find any relevant threads on the mailing list, but surely this is not the way it's supposed to be? Is there some list on the web showing what parts of math have been implemented, what still needs to be done (and, where someone with limited TeX knowledge could provide some assistance)? Best regards, Sebastian Attachments: minimal example (tex + pdf)

Mathdesign
by Andreas Noack Jensen 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Hi ConTeXters I have just started my migration from LaTeX towards ConTeXt. So first of all thank you for the contributions. Four whole days and a lot of evenings have been invested in my migration project so far but now things also begin to move. But I really miss one thing from LaTeX. Mathdesign with URW Garamond is in my opinion the prettiest solution at all. So far I have managed to import the text font by the guidance from the wiki, but there doesn¹t seem be any implementation/translation of the mathpart. I know that the TeX world font-handling is developing and I have used XeTeX for non-math work for a while. Some of the work, I understand, includes OpenType Math and therefore it might be reactionary to wish for a translation, but has anyone thought about one anyway?

interstrutline spacing
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Dear gang, I am trying to create a grid background based on strut depth, so each line of text lies right in between the top and bottom of the respective strut. I borrowed some code from the wiki, and need help to solve the following [and I'm no metapost guru...]: 1. Line 31, 2nd line of pdf: How can I keep \framed[align={r2l,middle}] and get the interstrutline to still span the textwidth. In other words, every strutline should be of textwidth, regardless of alignment 2. Compare pages 2 and 3: page 2 has extra space at the top, perhaps a skipped line. How can I suppress that so that the first line always starts at the top of the textblock? 3. On page 3: How can I control the continuation of the strutlines past the final textline? What if, eg, I wanted to fill the rest of the page with strutlines? 4. How can I change the width and color of the strutline itself? 5. I use \setuplayout[grid=on], but I'm not sure that guarantees a grid ... \start-\stoplinecorrection seems to give a different result. [\showgrid seems broken so I can't directly compare]. Any tips to guarantee a grid? 6. Is there a way to pass the interstrutline background to \framed [so I don't have to type \start-\stopinterstrutline etc]? This kind of gridded background is very common in eg, the Arabic-script tradition, although it has many pedagogical and other uses as well. A general strutline mechanism might make a good addition to the distribution, or at least a nice module... Any help or tips to improve this background will be greatly appreciated!

Figure referencing problems

13 Oct '09

Hi, I have troubles with referencing images. At first \in does not show a figure number but \at shows the correct page of the figure. In the archives I found a post from Wolfgang Schuster [1] with a sample that worked for him. I tried this, but there is no figure number visible in my document. %========================== \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{circle} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm; \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure [] [fig:ref] {Text} {\useMPgraphic{circle}} \in{figure}[fig:ref] \stoptext %========================== How can I fix that? Further \about{figure}[fig:ref] brings an error "Use of \about doesn't match its definition.". I used the syntax from the manual on page 205. How can I use the caption of a figure in an reference? My last question is how I can remove the color of links to references in a document. I am using MkIV 2009.08.30 12:25.

titlepage without page number
by Arno Trautmann 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hi! I guess this is a faq, but I didn’t find a way to do it … I want to use pagenumbers in the headings, but no pagenumber on the title page. I try it with: \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[\setups{header left}][pagenumber][pagenumber][\setups{header right}] \setupfooter[][] \startsetups[header right] \hfill \getmarking[chapter] \stopsetups \startsetups[header left] \getmarking[section] \hfill \stopsetups which gives me the headers I want. (Although I don’t understand why I have to specify the pagenumber two times) But on the titlepage, there is still a number, when I use it with the title module and say: \setuptitle[ page=no, title=…, header=empty, footer=empty ] \startfrontmatter \placetitle \stopfrontmatter I guess, I’m doing somthing wrong, but I cannot figure out what. And btw: Is there a possibility to just print the pagenumber? Hope I made the problem clear, cheers Arno

Enumeration bug
by Willi Egger 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi all, There might be a bug in the enumeration environment. First the enumeration definition contains the option location=top. When an enumeration item is started while there is already a figure placed left, then the enumeration tag shows up as expected, however the text of the enumeration item starts at the left border of the text area. If the option location is set to location=left, then in the same condition as above, the enumeration tag shows up to the right of the enumeration text and if the text is long, the tag is also overwritten.

Is it possible to put references format depending of mainlanguage? and other things
by Xan 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi, I posted previously [http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2009/043675.html] but no one answer that. Is it possible to localizated bibliography module depending on \mainlanguage? I think for example in @inproceedings or @article in ams. It appears "number" for specifying the number of journal, but "number" is in english. It were useful if we could display "número" for \mainlanguage[es], "nombre" for \mainlanguage[ca], etc like we display tableofcontents or the title of references in \mainlanguage localization. For the other hand, is it possible to define second references like wikipedia? I plan to write a document that will have a normal bibliography citations (like \cite[bridson].... and display the book of Bridson) and a wikipedia-like citations for citing specifically paragraphs of text (that I want to display like wikipedia references \wikicite[This text appears in paragraph 2 of \cite[bridson] in a reject of ....]) Is it possible? Thanks in advance, Xan.

spread lines
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 12 Oct '09

Dear gang, Can one of you remind me if ConTeXt has a command for the following [or even if there is a better Plain TeX command]: \line{This \hfill is \hfill an \hfill evenly \hfill spread \hfill sentence.} Is there a command a la \ctxcommand[align=r2l,key=spread,width=textwidth]{This is an evenly spread sentence.} or even better \setupcommand[align=r2l,key=spread,width=textwidth] \ctxcommand{This is an evenly spread sentence.} [need lots of 'em] Played a bit with framed but could not get the linespacing to remain constant... ideas? Thnx in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

MK II ( \mainlanguage[fr] && \useencoding[ffr] )+ mpost
by aubin＠nibua-r.org 11 Oct '09

11 Oct '09

Hello, I'm trying to compile a product of a complex structure (env + project + product). - My useMPgraphics are included in a product using input - My environment starts with : enableregime[utf8] useencoding[ffr] mainlanguage[fr] just before startenvironment (else the horizontal spacing are not ok for my products, compiled as standalone documents) As is, the metapost processing halts on ! Illegal suffix of declared variable will be flushed. { l.149 path theshapemathortext { ;}{;} If I comment out *only* mainlanguage[fr], metapost's processings are OK but I have english labels (Content, Chapter...) instead of french ones (obviously). If I comment out *only* useencoding[ffr], metapost's processing areOK but horizontal spacing for punctation are not OK (i.e. with respect to french typographic standards). My question is : how I can obtain french labels + french punctuation SIMULTANEOUSLY ;) I use the up-to-date context/metapost from minimals... And I can't use MK IV since I need t-vim... (useencoding[ffr] is not known by MK IV as typeSTUFF from t-vim) Renaud

letter module: different first page for multiple letters in one file
by Michael Green 10 Oct '09

10 Oct '09

I have one file containing several letters that I process using Wolfgang's letter module. I have a special background for the first page of a letter. I define and set three layers: PCLogo, PCDept, and PCAddress. Here is a representative example: \definelayer [PCLogo] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, preset=lefttop, y=20pt, state=start] Then I make these layers backgrounds like so: \setupletterstyle[lettermain][background={PCLogo,PCDept,PCAddress}] The result I *get* is that the first letter in the file gets the background on its first page as normal. But the subsequent letters do not. Their first pages are plain. The result I *want* is for each letter to have the background on its first page, like the first letter in the file gets. How can I achieve that? Thank you! Michael

Installing minimals
by Alain Delmotte 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi! On the 16th of September I mentioned that I had problems to install the minimals. Further, on my portable, the one I used during EuroTeX I could not connect to INTERNET anymore even after changing the connection parameters!! I then decide to un-install the firewall program I use (COMODO -- which I disabled when I tried to install the minimals, but with no result) and... everything is now OK: I could reconnect and more important install the minimals. Still a problem using TeXworks: the synctex system is not working: neither adding -synctex=1 in Preferences or \synctex=1 at the start of the tex source. Synctex appeared only in MikTeX 2.7 by a special (?) instruction in the pdftex (?) program. Is synctex taken into account in context? Alain

\setupquotation affecting \quote
by Matthijs Kooijman 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, I've been trying to use \setupquotation, but it seems it doesn't just affect \quotation, but also \quote. In particular, setting style to tfb enlarges the font used by \quote and somehow removes the quotes from around it. Seeing that there is also a \setupquote, and from looking at the code, I think this is not supposed to happen. This happens with MkII as well as MkIV, it seems. The following example shows the problem: \starttext \quote{Foo} \setupquotation[style=tfb] \quote{Bar} \stoptext Gr. Matthijs

Float captions with hanging indentation
by Jakub Piotr Cłapa 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hello, I am a new ConTeXt user recently switched from LaTeX (with small amounts of raw TeX macrosity) which I used for several years. I was searching the internet, this mailing list and finally the ConTeXt sources to find some information about achieving hanging indentation in captions. The 'hang' option for the 'caption' LaTeX package [1] was my inspiration (you can see an example on the 3 page of the linked manual). The only thing I could find was an old reply from Taco Hoekwater [2] but as he mentions this does not work well. After digging inside the source code of both ConTeXt and caption.sty I managed to hack the \putcompletecaption macro to do what I need. (see below) The changes required are minimal (capture the caption head into a box, remember its width and later set \hangindent and \hangafter while typessing the caption body) so maybe this could go into the main ConTeXt tree? Unfortunately I do not know how to make use of the setup macros so this currently hardcodes the hanging indentation. \unprotect \newdimen\captionhang \def\putcompletecaption#1#2% {\doifsomething{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spacebefore}{\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spacebefore]}% % \floatcaptionparameter\c!before % test for side effects first \noindent \xdef\lastcaptiontag{\strut#1}% \dostartattributes{\??kj\currentfloat}\c!style\c!color\empty \setbox0\hbox{% \ifnofloatnumber \else \hbox{\doattributes{\??kj\currentfloat}\c!headstyle\c!headcolor{\strut#1}}% \ifnofloatcaption \else \ifemptyfloatcaption \else \doifelsenothing{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceinbetween} {\scratchskip\floatcaptionparameter\c!distance\relax \dotfskip\scratchskip\emergencystretch.5\scratchskip} {\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceinbetween]}% \fi \fi \fi }% \captionhang=\wd0\unhbox0% \ifnofloatcaption \globallet\lastcaptionht\!!zeropoint \globallet\lastcaptiondp\!!zeropoint \else \doattributes{\??kj\currentfloat}\c!textstyle\c!textcolor {\hangindent=\captionhang\hangafter=1% \xdef\lastcaptionht{\strutheight}% \xdef\lastcaptiondp{\strutdepth}% \begstrut#2\endstrut\endgraf}% \fi \dostopattributes % \floatcaptionparameter\c!after % test for side effects first \doifsomething{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter}{\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter]}} \protect [1]: http://www.dd.chalmers.se/latex/Docs/PDF/caption.pdf [2]: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/21675/focus=21676 -- regards, Jakub Piotr Cłapa

composed words and hanging punctuation
by Jeremy Hughes 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi all, Dashes in composed words do not hang when hanging punctuation is used. When a line break falls after `whisky' in this sentence: the repellent whisky|-|craving woman the dash doesn't hang. To make the dash hang I resort to this: the repellent whisky-\allowbreak craving woman Is there a better way? A related question: I want |<| and |>| to allow breaking on either side. \zerowidthspace---\zerowidthspace works when placed directly in the text, but not when used as the definition of `leftsentence' in the `setuplanguage' command. How do I change this behavour? Jeremy

Scite + non-global environbment variables
by Wolfgang Hugemann 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hello to everybody, I have just started with Context, having been working with LaTeX (i.e. MikTeX / TeXnicCenter under WIndows) for quite a while. I installed Contextminimal and Scite just as proposed as the easiest way to get started. As setting global environments variables would interfere with MikTeX, I switched off this option during the installation process (in the GUI Windows installation program). But now I cannot easily start the compilation by pressing Crtl+1 in Scite, bcause this just calls the compiler and the environment variables are of course not set for this process. So which file do I have to change to make Scite call the batch file which sets the environments variables before it calls the compiler? What global Context environment variables would possibly interfere with MikTeX? Greatings from Münster Wolfgang Hugemann

activating font specific ligatures
by Peter Rolf 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi, I'm currently adding some otf-fonts (MinionPro,MyriadPro from Designer8.2) to ConTeXt. I use the following font feature for MinionPro: \definefontfeature[minion][script=latn,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes,onum=yes] Most ligature work with this setting, but ch ck ct ij IJ sp ss st do not. Also the ligatures for small caps (some are defined) do not work at all. Is there a way to manually select the ligatures of a font? I like to activate the ch-,ch-ligatures (c_h E085, c_k E086), but not the too playful ct-,sp-,st-ligatures. I can live without all this, but it would be nice to use the possibilities of the font. Any hint is welcome. Greetings, Peter

Passing variables into context
by Matthijs Kooijman 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi all, I've been trying to make a metapost graphic, based on the \textwidth. However, it seems I can't just pass in \textwidth as an option. For example, the following breaks: \startuniqueMPgraphic{HLine} draw origin -- (\MPvar{width}, 0mm); \stopuniqueMPgraphic \starttext \setupMPvariables[HLine][width=\textwidth] \uniqueMPgraphic{HLine} \stoptext with the following error: mplib | mp terminal: >> textwidth ! Undefined x coordinate has been replaced by 0. <to be read again> ; <*> ...d:=3441; draw origin -- (\textwidth , 0mm); It seems that the \textwidth option is not expanded before being passed to MP. Is there any way to force this expansion? I've tried \expandafter (without really understanding what that does), but that didn't help. I've tried putting this graphic as an overlay under an \framed, which allows me to use the \overlaywidth macro in metapost (which I assume is expanded specially by context?). This worked, but is not very elegant. Is there something more straightforward possible? Gr. Matthijs

Hi, is there a way to end ("flush") footnotes of a chapter before the next chapters starts? Please have a look at this double-page spread below, please: http://werksatz.com/attachments/spread.pdf Footnote no. 37 should be the first footnote that is printed under the footnote line of the first page of the new chapter (right). This is even more important/annoying when footnote numbering starts at "1" with a new chapter!! Steffen (at MkII)

\pagereference changes spacing in displayed formula
by Sanjoy Mahajan 27 Sep '09

Using a \pagereference in a displayed formula slightly changes the horizontal spacing. The shift is small, roughly the thickness of an integral sign. I don't know whether that's considered a bug. Here is the test file. The control test file is the same but without the \pagereference line. \starttext \startformula \pagereference[one]% \int \stopformula \stoptext I noticed the problem on my laptop (Debian, TeXLive 2007, ConTeXt 2008.10.31 13:58) and on the live ConTeXt just now.

Run it as follows: pdf-compare.sh file1.pdf file2.pdf It displays an image with light gray where the pages are pixel identical, and red where they differ.

German language settings
by Thomas Floeren 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

Hi, anybody at any time should add the appropriate settings for German to the lang-ger.tex file: \unprotect \setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!page=Seite~] \setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!atpage=auf Seite~] \setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!hencefore=oben] \setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!hereafter=unten] \protect \setuplanguage [de] [lefthyphenmin=2,righthyphenmin=3] \setuphyphenmark[sign=normal] This is no major problem, but it is inconvenient to have to add the settings each and any time when you make a new document, or to have a corrrection file in your texmf-local (not the proper way). The lefthyphenmin=2 may be subject to discuss, but in real life this is the way we separate words. I know that it was considered ugly by some people/insitutions, but I think these considerations are rather obsolete. Set it to 3 if your doc has >90 letters/line in general. But this shouldn't be the default setting. Think of all the prefixed verbs 'ergreifen', 'erstatten' etc. It *may* lead to *some* unwanted separations, but this should be handled by the hyphenation patterns. Best wishes Thomas

Numbering of "sub"-header
by Flavien Lambert 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

Dear all, I am using Mark IV from the minimals. I have a problem concerning the numbering fo my "sub-header". I defined exercices in the following way : % Titres \setuphead[subject][textstyle={\bfc},align=left,after=\hairline] % Commandes \def\exnu#1{% \framed[width=1.5em,corner=06,background=color,backgroundcolor=myGray,foreground=color,foregroundcolor=white]{#1}% } \definehead[exercice][subsection] \setuphead[exercice][textstyle={\bf},numberstyle={},numbercommand=\exnu] A few months ago, when using Mark II, the numbering of exercice was continuous even if new sujects were introduced. But now, the numbering is reinitialized when I put a subject. Can I go back to the previous behaviour ? Sincerely, -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way." R.P. Feynman.

Another small caps problem with some fonts (and old-style figures)
by Mika Ritola 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hello again, I just discovered another weird problem with small caps when using some fonts, e.g. Adobe Jenson Pro or Adobe Garamond Pro. When old-style figures are enabled, the code below generates "GEOff" instead of "GEOFF". Another ligature bug, it seems -- which is strange because I don't see why old-style figures should affect ligatures at all (not that I know anything about these things), and also because the second line should disable ligatures in small caps altogether. \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][liga=no] \setfontfeature{oldstyle} \setmainfont[Adobe Jenson Pro] \starttext {\sc Geoff} \stoptext I'm using the latest beta from yesterday. Again, I'd appreciate a workaround for this, apart from disabling old-style figures. Thanks, Mika P.S. Thanks to everyone who's replied to my bibliography questions. I'll get back to it as soon as I've had time to try out the suggestions.

Hi Matthijs, Thank you for your two follow ups to my original question. Both of the techniques you suggested also work for me, so I'm able to continue now. Cheers, Matt

textcolor (mkii)
by Peter Rolf 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hi, while struggling with my colortest for overprinting I run into this curious test case. Mkiv is running fine, but mkii gives no color (block 1 is black instead of blue) or the color is 'shifted' one line into the next textcolor block (block 3 and 4: 'Blue text.' is black and 'Black text.' is blue). Example attached. Best wishes, Peter \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \unprotect \ifnum\contextmarkmode=4 \def\@@currentcolorname{undefined} \fi \starttextcolor[blue] Blue text.\par \stoptextcolor \starttextcolor[black] Black text.\par \stoptextcolor \starttextcolor[blue] Blue text.\par \type{\currentcolorname: }\currentcolorname\par \type{\@@currentcolorname: }\@@currentcolorname\par \type{\@@themaintextcolor: }\@@themaintextcolor\par \stoptextcolor \starttextcolor[black] Black text.\par \type{\currentcolorname: }\currentcolorname\par \type{\@@currentcolorname: }\@@currentcolorname\par \type{\@@themaintextcolor: }\@@themaintextcolor\par \stoptextcolor \protect \stoptext

Using MetaPost to create fonts
by Alain Delmotte 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hi! I have the impression that I did see that MetaPost can be used to create full fonts and not only pictures. (In fact to keep the potential of METAFONT, but extending it to OpenType /PostScript/TrueType (??) fonts.) I even think there was mention about Perl in this respect. Did I dream or not (yes I start to dream about ConTeXt and MetaPost !!!). Could you point me to the right direction and provide links and/or email address of the persons who are involved? Thanks, -- Alain

buffer problem (mkii)
by Peter Rolf 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hi Hans, can you add an \unexpanded (as in mkiv) to the mkii definition of \getbuffer? [buff-ini.mkii] \unexpanded\def\getbuffer {\dodoubleempty\dogetbuffer} Without it compilation breaks here somehow (error with my nested buffers). No such problems with the \unexpanded definition. And before you ask: no minimal example yet and hopefully there is no need to generate one anymore ;) ------------------------------------------------ [..] fonts : using map file: texnansi-microsoft-tahoma {r:/tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/map/pdftex/context/texnansi-microsoft-tahoma.map}) (././flib/icons-shell32dll-32bit-48x48.xml) (././flib/icons-thunderbird.xml) <. ./include/icons/pdf-icon_24bpp-48x48.png> figures : dimensions of pdf-icon_24bpp-48x48.png loaded from figurefile itself color : themaintextcolor is not defined [MP to PDF] (./window-mpgraph.2) [MP to PDF] (./window-mpgraph.3) [MP to PDF] (./window-mpgraph.4)) [MP to PDF] (./window-mpgraph.5)) Runaway argument? ]\relax \global \advance \commalevel \minusone \setups [Window:box]\setups \ETC . !
