If anyone has any exeprience with Unicode I would like the flexibility this provides, as the euro is just a sample case. btw I have searched CTAN for UnicodeRegular and eurose, and no hits. If anyone happens to know which package bundles either of these two fonts I'd appreciate it. Especially if you have it working in MiKTeX 2.4. Thanks all. Christopher

UnicodeRegular
by Christopher G D Tipper 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

I am trying to find a euro symbol for my work. I have \def\euro{\uchar{32}{172}} [character € which I got from some XSL-FO literature I downloaded] and I use \defineXMLentity [euro] {\euro} as I am transforming from XML. What I then get is ! Font \unicodefont=UnicodeRegular20 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. MikTeX has a comprehensive package manager, and I have tried installing packages "uni" [billed as "The Universal Font"] and "universa" but no joy. Does anyone know where to get this font? Please don't tell me from Y&Y :-) Christopher --------------------------------o00o-------------------------------- “Since light travels faster than sound, isn’t that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak” — Steve Wright

Multiple charts of different size
by Shivkumar Chandrasekaran 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

Hi, I am using \usemodule[chart] and following the manual mchart.pdf. But I cannot figure out how to get two charts, one of size [nx=4,ny=4] and one of size [nx=4,ny=1] in the same document, without the second one occupying the same physical space as the first one. It seems that I can have only one \setupFLOWcharts command in effect. Is there any way to get around this? Thanks, --shiv--

FLOWcharts connection bug
by Ramm, Henning 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Hello Hans and everyone! Every connection whose origin is the bottom of a cell and that goes somewhere upwards, draws first up into the cell. Connections from bottom to bottom cause always a metapost error. (ConTeXt 2004-01-13; TeXLive 7 on WinNT; pdfTeX 1.11a-2.1) Some nice-to-have features of FLOWchart connections would be: - crossing vertical lines should draw an bow at the crossing (configurable) - force a line to go via some point (cell coordinate) or several points instead shortest way - parallel lines should draw side by side Herzliche Grüße! ------------------- Henning Hraban Ramm

headertext + cap/uppercased problem
by Tobias Burnus 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Hello, (partially this is a resent.) I have a problem forcing captial letters for the header(texts). I tried (a) \kap in \setupheadertexts, but then \getmarking gets not expanded (I only get 'CHAPTER :' which looks rather strange) (b) Using \uppercased in \setupheadertext produces an error (c) Using \setupheader[style=kap] or style=\uppercased produces errors Tobias * * * I use \setupheadertexts [][{\it\getmarking[sectionnumber]~~~\getmarking[section]}] [{\it Chapter \getmarking[chapternumber]: \getmarking[chapter]}][] which works well. Adding \setupheader[style=cap] (or style=\uppercased) I get the following error. Any idea why? Tobias !

Re: [NTG-context] endnotes: ! Dimension too large. ?? (another problem)
by Steffen Wolfrum 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Ah OK. But as far as I see the "command=" overwrites other possible settings like margin etc. Do I have to include these descriptions in \MyNoteList in a more TeX way? For example: How do I set the notes with size 10pt, interlinespace 11pt, a margin 2cm and after space \blank? Maybe you could give me an example for the code needed here?

irregular typesetting area
by Ole Schoening 14 Jan '04

14 Jan '04

Dear Contexers, I would like to repeat my question (see below) because I neither got an answer nor found a solution on my own. I believe that \defineoverlay cannot produce a solution for my problem because this command puts pictures in a different layer and so the main text is not affected (i.e. text is printed on top of underlying pictures). Are there any hints available? Ole I'm trying to produce an irregular (more than 4 corners) typesetting (main text) area of the following shape: ... (header) .... _____________________________________ ( logo / | ... text area ... | overlay background) | | ________________________| | | | ... ... | | | | | ________________________| | |(logo | | /overlay background) | ... text area ... | |___________________________________| The reason of this wish is not to overwrite the displayed logos or overlay pictures, which are used to form a common layout for a brochure. Btw., the orientation of the logos / pictures changes from even to odd pages. The measures of the logos / pictures prohibit a solution just by putting them in the header or footer. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance, Ole

footnotes are lost!! endnotes don't work ? (URGENT)
by Steffen Wolfrum 14 Jan '04

14 Jan '04

Hi, as the commands "location=text" and "\placefootnotes" seemed to be unproblematic I decided to edit a book in ConTeXt with footnotes as endnotes - at the end of each chapter. Unfortunately there seems to be a bug: My first chapter has 57 footnotes. The first 17 footnotes fit (touching the bottom edge) on the first page (after the chapters end) and the following 40 are lost! Is this a known bug? Does anybody know what to do? Thank you very much, Steffen P.S. This is urgent - because when endnotes doesn't work properly I can't make the book in ConTeXt and so I have a big problem ...

\enableregime, \setupbodyfont and the amsl module
by Giuseppe Bilotta 14 Jan '04

14 Jan '04

Hi Hans and all, a user on it.comp.software.tex just noticed a funny interaction between the amsl module and an appropriate choice of fonts and encodings. The following minimal test file shows the problem: \setupbodyfont[ber,pos] \usemodule[nath] \enableregime[il1] \starttext \`e è un'attività \stoptext Notice that accented letters come out like letters with two commas below. The amsl module has to resort to this trick: %D Font Stuff %D %D First of all, we need Fraktur to be loaded correctly, something %D which ConTeXt doesn't do by default (at least by now) %D Can't find a better, faster, cleaner way to do it; %D it should probably be added to ConTeXt default for AMS, anyway \definebodyfont [12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt] [mm] [mc=eufm10 sa 1] \definebodyfont [8pt,7pt,6pt] [mm] [mc=eufm7 sa 1] \definebodyfont [5pt] [mm] [mc=eufm5] %D to make sure they get loaded, we make a font change %D we restore rm afterwards, not having a way to decide which one %D was active (anyway, rm is a pretty safe bet when loading %D a module \dots) \switchtobodyfont[mm] \switchtobodyfont[rm] So I *know* where the problem comes form, but I don't know how to fix this. Can anybody come up with a sensible solution? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Wrapping around footnotes
by William D. Neumann 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

I'm preparing a paper in two column format, and I'm having issues with footnotes in one column affecting the text in the other column because the text in the other column stops at the same spot as the text in the column with the footnote rather than typsetting down to the bottom of the page. For example, I am currently getting: blah, blah, blah1 yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer ------ 1 footnote text here. footnote text here. footnote text here. Instead of this (which I want) blah, blah, blah1 yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer ------ yammer, yammer, yammer 1 footnote text yammer, yammer, yammer here. footnote yammer, yammer, yammer text here. yammer, yammer, yammer footnote text here. yammer, yammer, yammer How can this be done? I've tried playing with the various setup commands for columns and footnotes, but nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated. William D.

Texutil
by Willi Egger 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

Dear Hans, I am trying to convert a couple of EPS pictures into PDF files. Viewing those figures in gostview shows their content on screen as expected. Unfortunately the conversion with texutil results in some of the files in a rotation of 90 degrees. I tried to tweak texutil.pl with adding a line to the $GSCommandLine $GSCommandLine = "-q " . ... "-dAutoRotatePages=/None " . ... I also tried to put there ... "-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer " . ... But the figures remain rotated. - Do you have a clue how to prevent this? If you edit texutil.pl would you then have also look at the code line 2079: Report ( "PdfFile", "$FileName".".pdf" ) ; instead of Report ( "PdfFile", "$SuppliedFileName" ) ; Kind regards Willi

A big problem is that the \MyNote notes seem to be not "brakeable" If such a note is half a page long and all the notes are set at the end of the text it happens quite often that there is half a page empty (because the next note is too long).
