\useURL (mail address) problem
by Alan Bowen 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

How does one enter the underscored space in firstname_lastname@institution when using \useURL so that when the link in the PDF is selected, it opens the mail application (Mail.app) and the message is addressed to firstname_lastname@institution? Right now, I have \useURL [AuthorEmailAddress] [mailto:firstname\_lastname@institution] [] [{firstname\_lastname@institution}] in my source file and this displays properly in the PDF produced via ConTeXt. However, when the link is selected in the PDF (in Acrobat) and my mail application opens, the message is addressed to firstnamechar 95 lastname@institution Granted, the user can easily clean this up, but is there way to avoid this? I have tried two or three ways of entering the underscore but with no luck so far. Many thanks. Alan

(* please excuse my poor english *) Abstract : after a fresh reinstall of TeTeX via Gerben Wierda's i-packages, I cannot obtain a Metapost figure in my pdf-output via ConTeXt. Who can help me ?

\fontrange and \currentfontscale
by Adam Lindsay 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

Hi Hans, TeXnicians. I thought I'd take another look at the \fontrange macros (commented) at the beginning of font-ini. I think they might be one way of adapting different optical sizes for Unicode fonts. I'm trying to work in the current scaling, but I run into some pure dimension math and expansion problems that are way beyond my skills. I was hoping someone might be able to give me a push in the right direction: \def\dodofontrange#1 #2 % {\ifdim\dimexpr(\currentfontscale\bodyfontsize) #2% ... results in: ! Missing = inserted for \ifdim. <to be read again> s <argument> s a \dodofontrange ...rentfontscale \bodyfontsize ) #2 #1\expandafter \gobbleunti... which I interpret as \currentfontscale only being expanded as "sa 1.200" instead of a number. At this point I can only make progress by blind experimentation. Can anyone else offer a clue? cheers, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

ConTeXt's CD
by sebastian.rooks＠free.fr 04 Apr '04

04 Apr '04

Hello, I'm trying "ConTeXt on CD" using http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/tex.iso.bz2 First of all: it is really amazing ! Everything needed for ContTeXt on one CD and ready to use. I'll keep this CD in my pocket for now :-) Since I'm a nasty user, here are a suggestion and some problems: 1/ What about adding a shortcut to cscite.bat under the CD's root or an autorun.inf? It would be much more natural than usr/local/context/cscite.bat 2/ With the last version, 29-Mar-2004 21:35, when I try to "compile" readme.tex (copied on hard-disk and opened with scite) with Ctrl+F7 (concheck readme.tex) I've got a "file not found" error. 3/ When I try to build the same file I've got the following error: fonts : [palatino] [texnansi] [] ! I can't find file `.\type-syn'. <to be read again> \relax \dodoreadfile ...normalinput \readfilename \relax \the \everyafterreadfile \dododousetypescript ...ile \donothing \donothing \popmacro \currenttypefile... \next1 #1,->\dododousetypescript {#1} \doprocesscommaitem <argument> \relax type-syn, type-enc,type-siz,type-map,type-spe,type-exa,type... \doprocesscommalist ...aitem \gobbleoneargument #1 ,]\relax \global \advance ... ... l.5 \setupbodyfont [palatino,12pt] Please type another input file name: If I replace \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] with \setupbodyfont[12pt] A readme.pdf file is produced. 4/ I can open the readme.pdf file with acrobat but Crtl+2 (Tools/View PDF file) a message box pop up with the message: Error while launching "gsview32.exe" with Params: "readme.pdf" The specified file was not found. Thank you once again Mr Hagen, for ConTeXt and now for its CD :-)

Typescript for Helvetica - what's wrong?
by Stefan Wachter 02 Apr '04

Hi all! I tried to write a typescript to use the Helvetica PDF base 14 fonts. Yet, the example below uses the (default) Computer Modern Roman fonts.

\its == item versus item == \its ?
by Helmut Schwertner 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

Hello, for a questionnaire I use the \its command in the following way: \starttext \startitemize[left,5,packed][width=8em,distance=2em,items=5] \ran {no\hss yes} \its I can not do without \TeX. \its I will use \TeX\ forever. \its I expect an alternative to \TeX\ in the next few years. \stopitemize \stoptext The fields (to put a tick in) appear on the left side of the item. My question: Is it possible to achieve that the fields appear on the right side of the items? Thanks and best wishes, Helmut schwertner(a)t-online.de

I have a long table with many columns which I'd like to rotate and then have it split across as many pages as necessary. I have experimented with tabulates and tables, splitfloat and rotate but did not find a working combination. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Marko

starting on an even page
by Alan Bowen 30 Mar '04

30 Mar '04

This is undoubtedly a simple-minded question. So, with apologies, let me say that I wish to produce a chapter in doublesided mode that begins on an even (left hand) page, say page 54. What I currently produce is a blank page 54 (with correct header) followed by the chapter itself starting on page 55 and looking exactly it should if page 55 were the first page. In effect, ConTeXt is inserting a blank page so that the first page of the chapter proper is odd. How do I stop it from doing this? (There is no blank page if the first page number is in fact odd.) Any suggestions or even pointers to some manual would be much appreciated. Alan

I tried it four times now, with different browsers, and failed always! The only difference that I can think of is that you use Windows and I use MacOSX. If I enter the URL the download of "show-exa.pdf" starts. And if I open the file, go to the last page, click on it then AcrobatReader6 tells me: "Could not open the file 'fiften.pdf'". And that is understandable because there is no file "fifteen.pdf" on my desktop. And it's not in your list of "Downloadable PDF files ". That's why I asked where is this file ? Thanks for your reply, Steffen

mouseover ... (again)
by Steffen Wolfrum 26 Mar '04

26 Mar '04

Hi Hans, Patrick et al. I really would like to learn about mouseover and other PDF related ConTeXt features (probably JavaScript related). In an older email Hans told Patrick that he'll send him a nondocumented example file - so does this mean that there are no other example files available? Please, if some of you could give me some readable read (as .tex files) examples on how how to work with buttons, mouseovers and other interactive PDF elements like this, I would be very happy! Thank you very much, Steffen

Hi Not necesarly. But I've spotted that in that pdf, the Romanian diacritics were typesetted correct! I was wonderring if you did something special. The definition I use is: \def\commaaccent#1{\oalign{#1\crcr\hidewidth,\hidewidth}} But I cannot be sure if it is OK. Sincerely, Dan SERACU Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.

Hi, As some of you may have noticed ... the latin modern fonts have umlauts. I added a few files to the context zip, so that those who want to see the difference can play with it. Just (un)comment the first line in: \usetypescript [var] [latin-modern] % supported for texnansi and ec \usetypescript [all] [latin-modern] [\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[modern][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext \"e\"u\"o\"a \stoptext technically one can also mix things but i leave that for the moment that lm has replaced cm.

Romanian diacritics
by Dan Seracu 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Hello again! (after quite some time) I've recently downloaded the special-s.pdf and there is an example in Romanian. Now the question: How did you do the \c{t} and the \c{s} there to use the comma and not the cedilla? Because in the "standard" romanian (old typesetting way) these letter used to have comma and not cedilla (like now when using M$ Word) Greetings from Romania Dan SERACU __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

6 ways to ask for Times-Roman. Are they the same?
by Stefan Wachter 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Hi all. Studying the pdftex.map file I found the following 6 TeX fonts that are used for Times-Roman: ptmr8y, ptmr8r, rptmr, rtxptmr, tir and tmrm108r. In the "no download" version of the map file, all these TeX fonts are mapped into Times-Roman. In the "download" the font utmr8a.pfb is embedded for them. Are they the same? Is there a preferrable one? What role does the encoding play here? Many thanks for your attention, --Stefan PS (Background): I try to write a type script for using the 14 base PDF fonts.

How to use and not embed the 14 PDF standard 14 fonts?
by Stefan Wachter 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Hi all! 1. Does anyone know how to use the 14 PDF standard fonts (Courier, Helvetica, Times (each in 4 faces), Symbol, and ITC-Zapf) in ConTeXt? 2. Does anyone know how pdfTeX can be instructed not to embed them? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan PS (Background): I am creating lots of small PDF documents where font embedding would create prohibitive large documents.

Re: page setup

Hallo Hans, sorry for bringing back two old topics, but they are still unanswered: 1) Willy Egger firstly pointed on empty page with zero on the bottom-left coner of an additional sheet using arranging command. I have tested with pretty new context (ConTeXt ver: 2004.3.16) and this behevior still survived. Run the next test file and see page 2: %-------------- \setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4] \setuparranging[2TOPSIDE] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[20pt] \dorecurse{2}{Page \recurselevel\page} \stoptext %---------------- 2) It is possible to sort in reverse order? It means the result of next test file was: C B A. % ----- \definesorting[address][addressbook] \setupsorting[address][criterium=all] \address{A} \address{C} \address{B} \placelistofaddressbook %----- Thank you for answers Vit Zyka
