The reason, why I am interesting in fonthandlers, was: To correct the lowerleftdoubleninequote-problem with cmr. To be honest, I am asking myself why this is not working out of the box, because cmr is TeX's standardfont. Anyway, it's good to learn something about fonthandlers and so. So, were are the doc's?

Paragraph indentation in enumerations?
by Emil Hedevang Lohse 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hello, When I write mathematics I need some way of making theorems and proof. Therefore I have defined the following enumerations \defineenumeration [theorem] [text=Sætning, style=slanted, way=bychapter] \defineenumeration [corollary] [theorem] [text=Korollar, style=slanted, way=bychapter] \defineenumeration [proof] [text=Bevis., number=no] \setupenumerations [theorem,proof] [location=serried, headstyle=bold, width=broad, stopper=.] \setupindenting[medium] But when I make the proof and type \startproof One paragraph. Two paragraphs. Three paragraphs. \QED \stopproof There is no indentation of the paragraphs. How can I fix this? -- Emil Hedevang Lohse <http://home.imf.au.dk/emil/> Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme.

relative font size
by Johannes Hüsing 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hi all, I hou also van the Bitstream Charter font and I am looking for a matching monospace. To my mind LuxiMono fits Charter very well but the percepted sizes don't match at all. I would like to downscale LuxiMono by at least ten per cent when using it with Charter. What is the ConTeXt way to achieve this? Thanks a lot, as always.

why btex...etex or textext() does not work? (fwd)
by Vit Zyka 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hallo ConTeXt list member, I am new member in the list so apologize if I ask for something trivial. But I have been looking in documentation, in ConTeXt source code, in the Net... Unsuccessfully. Perhaps someone here will known. I have this simple file zk.tex: %--------------------- \starttext Hallo. \startuseMPgraphic{zk} picture p; p:= btex Text1 etex; % p:= textext("Text2"); % label(btex Text3 etex, origin); draw p; draw origin--(1cm,1cm); \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{zk} \stoptext %---------------------- When I run texexec zk the compilation pass successfuly but the result is without line and "Text1". In the case of "Text2" I obtain line and "unknown" (picture) text and in the case of "Text3" the same as in "Text1". The log file from my recent context distribution on Linux web2c is in the attachment. The file mpgraph.mpx is created with correct content (Text1). But next run of metapost does not include it. The only way how to obtain desired result is to run mpost directly mpost mpgraph.mp But it is not possible with the "textext". The instalation is standard. Only I set \setupoutput[pdftex] \usesymbols[nav] \setupsymbolset[navigation 1] \recycleMPslotstrue \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue \useMETAFUNformattrue in cont-sys.tex So, what I am doing worse?

Hi all, I have installed the URW fonts with texfont --batch --encoding=ec type-tmf.dat The \setupbodyfont[pos,10pt] works well, but there is no f-ligatures in the output.

Docbook In Context, new version
by Simon Pepping 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hi, I have uploaded a new version of DocbookInContext. This version has a sizable contribution by Richard Rascher-Friesenhausen, with a.o. Metapost graphics for admonitions, a Spanish translation of literal strings by Pablo Rodriguez, and numerous small features. It also introduces backgrounds, a.o. for programlistings, but unfortunately this feature seems to cause spurious page breaks under certain circumstances. In addition the web page has a nice example of how you can customize DocbookInContext by writing your own module, also by Richard Rascher-Friesenhausen.

Index questions
by Miller Maley 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

I have some questions about the index (register) facility in ConTeXt. 1) I like that ConTeXt automatically breaks the index into portions by first letter, but how do I change the style of the subhead that says 'a', 'b', or whatever? Among other things, I would like these little subheads to be uppercase. 2) Sometimes a topic is referenced at two nearby places in the text. If these places fall on separate pages, I would like the index to mention both of them. If they fall on the same page, however, the index entry is duplicated. I expected texutil to remove duplicate index entries when sorting. Is it supposed to? (This is not a major problem; I can work around it.) 3) Likewise (this is a suggestion rather than a question) it would be nice if ConTeXt automatically transformed a sequence of 3 or more consecutive index entries (such as 10, 11, 12) into a page range (10-12). I realize there is a facility (\startindex...\stopindex) to get these page ranges manually, so again this is not a major issue. 4) If I have the command \seeindex{foo}{bar} and also \index{foo} on page 17, it would be nice if the index could say foo 17 see also bar rather than just "see bar". Is there a way to get this behavior? -- Miller Maley

fontsize in math
by Hans van der Meer 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

Hi Hans, I encountered an issue in fontsizing in math mode that I do not understand. Searched the manual but couldn't find (or missed) the clue. Using the green presentation style but changed to a somewhat larger fontsize by adding: \setupbodyfont[lbr, sans, 17.3pt] % lucidabright typesetting the following text: {abc$abc$abc} --- {\tfx abc$abc$abc} --- {\tfx abc}{$\tfx abc$}{\tfx abc} In the first the abc's have the same size. In the second the math part has kept its size, the other two are smaller. In the third the math part is now so small is doesn't match in size as it did in the first. I would have thought the math would vary in accordance with the \tfx. However, within $'s the font does not follow the outside \tfx, while inside a different size seems to be chosen. I am baffled. Can you point in the right direction? Thanks. Hans van der Meer

context + omega + tetex 2.0 : success story
by zamri 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

hello all, after on-and-off effort, I finally get context + omega working. The result is impressive. hat off to hans and idris samawi for their effort. omega is a tex version that support utf-8 input. it can be used to typeset arabic. here are some of the things I discovers that might be useful to others; my system: context 2003.1.31 omega 1.23.2.1 tetex 2.0 1. using the command texexec --make --alone --tex=omega en fail. you need to recompile omega. get tetex-src-2.0.tar.gz. I am not a programmer, but know enough to hack bit and pieces. also, I cannot assure whether it safe or not. but, it works. do the usual ./configure and make stuff. After finish, make changes to omegad.h; #define infmaxstrings ( 800000L ) #define supmaxstrings ( 900000L ) #define infmainmemory ( 8000000L ) recompile omega. this is the tricky part. the command I use; (the proper way to make changes is in the .ch files, but I have no idea what to change) gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omegaini.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega0.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega1.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega2.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omegaextra.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omegabis.c gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./.. -g -O2 -c omega3.c ./../klibtool link gcc -o omega omegaini.o omega0.o omega1.o omega2.o omegaextra.o omega.o omegabis.o omega3.o lib/lib.a ../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la -lm gcc -o omega omegaini.o omega0.o omega1.o omega2.o omegaextra.o omega.o omegabis.o omega3.o lib/lib.a ../kpathsea/STATIC/libkpathsea.a -lm 2. cp this 'omega' to 'bigomega' or whatever you like. 3. do texexec --make --alone --tex=bigomega en 4. you will get cont-en.oft. cp 'cont-en.oft' to 'bigomega.oft' 5. move the .oft format to the usual place. run 'texhash' 6. test. bigomega omtest.tex (* omtest.tex is from gamma.zip from idris ) or this simple file ====== test.tex======= \usemodule[gamma] \starttext \startarab A b t \section{\arab{A b t }} \stoparab \stoptext 6. you get test.dvi, do this to get pdf. odvisp -V -o test.ps test.dvi ps2pdf test.ps I am sure some of the steps can be simplified or corrected by the experts. I think you need to rename the new omega to avoid clash with the original omega. again, thanks to hans and idris. zamri

Hello, following up to a recent post on comp.text.tex I'd like to bring forth an enhancement request for itemgroups: in the current implementation it is not possible to set up itemgroups to use the non key=value pairs settings. IOW, one cannot say \defineitemgroup[myitems] \setupmyitems[each][A] and have the items come up numbered with capital letters. Some keywords (like: joinedup) work, some others (the numbering type ones, for example, or "columns") don't work. For what I can see by looking at the code, this depends on these settings being looked for *not* when setting up the itemizations, but in the actual moment when the \start<itemgroup> is issued (this is for example the case for "columns"). Enhancement request: allow all keywords to work. I think the most straightforward way to implement this is to simply store the keywords and put them as default values when \start<itemgroup> is called (this would even, I suspect, simplify the handling of the itemgroup setups ...) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

This was one of your first documents, and I notice that there were many "hacks" loaded before compiling. The colored text is the problem. \definieerpapierformaat [CONTEXT] [hoogte=27cm, breedte=36cm] \stelpapierformaatin [CONTEXT] [CONTEXT] \stellayoutin [breedte=15cm, % default hoogte=25cm, % default kopwit=1cm, % aangepast hoofd=2cm, % default voet=2cm, % default linkermarge=3cm, % ingesteld rechtermarge=0cm, % aangepast linkermargeafstand=1cm, % aangepast rechtermargeafstand=1cm, % aangepast linkerrandafstand=.75cm, % aangepast rechterrand=3.888888cm, % aangepast rechterrandafstand=.75cm, % aangepast linkerrand=1cm, % aangepast rugwit=6.25cm] % aangepast \stelinteractiemenuin [rechts] [afstand=.5cm] \stelinteractieschermin [hoogte=16cm, breedte=\papierbreedte, optie=max] \stelachtergrondenin [pagina] [offset=0.25cm, achtergrond=kleur, achtergrondkleur=AchtergrondKleur] \stelachtergrondenin [hoofd,tekst,voet] [linkermarge,tekst] [achtergrond=kleur, achtergrondkleur=wit] This gives a document size of ( 14.17 x 6.3 in ) The 6.3in is the problem, it is not a full page You can leave the translation in "NL"...... As always I thanks you.

Using command in section
by Martin Kolařík 05 Mar '03

Hi all, I'm using private macro for title of section: \setuphead[section][command=\doTitle] and if I typeset inside this \doTitle#1#2 something like (test code): \vbox to 0pt{ \hsize=3cm \hbox{\vtop{#1}\vtop{#2}} \hbox{\vtop{X} \vtop{The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.}} \vss } I get two boxes -- the first (made from #1 and #2) NOT aligning the first lines of vtop's (#1 is higher) and the second, which is aligned as I expect -- both "X" and "The quick..." in the one "line". So I traced data coming into #2 and content of \vtop filled with it and I saw the #2 contains some vertical glue at the beginning. What should I do to avoid this behaviour? (excluding splitting of the resulting box using low level TeX primitives :-), have a nice day and thanks, Martin -------- Martin Kolarik Moravske Pristroje, a.s., Masarykova 1148, Zlin 76302 tel. +420 603 498 498, fax +420 577 107 171 web: http://www.mii.cz -------- e-mail: kolarik(a)mii.cz e-mail: kolarik(a)click.cz tel. +420 603 535 593
