fluctuating baseline of header text
by j. van den hoff 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

I observe a slight fluctuation of the baseline of text in the page header when going from one page to the next. a minimal example follows: \setupheader [style=\smallbodyfont\ss\it] \setupheadertexts [section] \setuppagenumbering[location={header,margin}, style=\bfc] \starttext \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \stoptext in this example (and with this font) the problem is only occuring when toggling between pages 6/7 or 7/8 (at sufficient zoom it's easy to see), i.e.the header is shifted downward on page 7. in other docs with different fonts it happens across multiple pages. my guess would be it has to do with the digit heights in the different fonts and the fact that the page numbers are much larger than the heading, but that's only a guess. can someone confirm the problem? thx,joerg -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Define a new type section with metafun

Hi, I wish red separation is exactly in the middle of the dial and the title of the section. Then, the line is too long, it should not exceed the boundary of the ellipse.

system fonts access under macosx (again)
by j. van den hoff 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

as advised I have installed standalone context in order to get better support of system fonts under macosx. I now have had the following happen to me: 1. after installation of `standalone' and straightening out unrelated problems with `\usemodule' usage I managed to get proper support of -- that's the specific font I wanted to use -- the `Optima' font family. Notably I got italics where I wanted them. so far so good. 2. then I discovered that standalone context does not include the very nice `EB Garamond' font (although there are some files in the context tree apparently related to tweaking some things related to this font) -- contrary to texlive where `context` finds this font just fine. 3. instead of putting this font into the standalone `context' tree (which I tried initially without luck -- on second thought I probably would have needed to do a `mtxrun --script fonts --reload' ...) I installed these (otf) fonts systemwide. (as an aside: is there a way of notifying standalone context of the location of the `texlive' font directories?) 4. contrary to what I seem to have read in the documentation somewhere (??) the fonts were than _not_ looked up "on demand" (i.e. where not found automatically when compiling the document wanting to use this font) but only found after I did a manual `mtxrun --script fonts --reload' 5. now `ebgaramond' works fine _but_ out of the `Optima' fonts now only the regular font is found and reported by `mtxrun ... fonts` if I interpret this output correctly: optima optimaregular /System/Library/Fonts/Optima.ttc index: 4 optimanormal optimaregular /System/Library/Fonts/Optima.ttc index: 4 optimaregular optimaregular /System/Library/Fonts/Optima.ttc index: 4 so I seem back to square one in this respect :-(. I can only assume that this has been caused by the `--reload' run (see item 1. above: intitially `optima' italics worked) and/or maybe still fragile support of these `ttc' (true type collection) files? just a guess. what am I doing wrong _this_ time? thx, joerg -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

useattachment
by Andrea Valle 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Dear list, In the previous version of a programming manual I wrote I used this definition: \define[1]\Ex{\externalfigure[code/#1] \useattachment[ex][code/#1.scd] \attachment[ex] } In this way I could have \Ex{sintesi/sineArray} where sintesi/sineArray.scd is the path of code example and sintesi/sineArray.pdf is the path of a pdf figure with coloured syntax . I’m revising the manual and using mk IV. Now, concerning the attachment, in mk IV the marker on the generated pdf always points to the same .scd file. But while reading the pdf in Acrobat Reader if I’m passing the mouse over the marker the displayed path seems to be the correct one. Am I doing anything wrong here? Thanks a lot Best -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - StudiUm Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.fonurgia.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanderaalle/sets/ --> http://vimeo.com/vanderaalle --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- "This is a very complicated case, Maude.

access to system fonts under MacOSX
by j. van den hoff 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

newbie question: how can I get access to fonts installed outside the TeX tree under MacOSX (10.9 to be precise)? mtxrun --script font --list --name --pattern=* shows lots of fonts (so they are recognized by context, I'd guess) but the simple-minded approach, namely to trying something like \starttypescript [stix] \definetypeface [stix] [rm] [serif] [stix] [default] \definetypeface [stix] [ss] [sans] [adventor] [default] \definetypeface [stix] [tt] [mono] [cursor] [default] \definetypeface [stix] [mm] [math] [stix] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[stix] \setupbodyfont[stix,12pt] fails with `unknown library stix'. obviously I am doing something wrong -- or is this a luatex problem not being able to find the system fonts? thx, joerg -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

typesetting math—two queries
by Alan Bowen 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

1. Is there a generally preferred math font to use with Antykwa Poltawskiego? 2. What are the best practices for setting inline math that causes variation in the interline spacing? E.g., in a paragraph such as: \starttext Mauris placerat eleifend leo. Mauris placerat eleifend leo. Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{$y=\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{26}$}. The \quote{$\sqrt{2x}$} Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{$\sqrt{2}x$}. Mauris placerat eleifend leo.\quote{$\sqrt{12}$}Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{$\sqrt{1/2}$}. Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{$x=-{1/2}-\sqrt{1/ 8}+\sqrt{{3/8}+\sqrt{20}}$}. \quote{$-\sqrt{6}$} Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{${a/x}+{a/y}+2=b+2$}. \stoptext Alan

Strange bug with overviewpage module.
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hi, Some time ago, Hans had helped me to write an 'overviewpage' module, that makes it easy to show a overview of the important slides at the end of a presentation. I have tweaked this module slightly to be able to save an arbitrary page by using \saveoverviewpage{reference} and reuse the page by \useoverviewpage{reference} An example is: \usemodule[overviewpage] \setuppapersize[S4] \setupframedtext[rulethickness=3pt] \starttext \startframedtext \input ward \stopframedtext \saveoverviewpage{ward} \page \input tufte \page \scale[width=0.5\textwidth]{\useoverviewpage{ward}} \stoptext However, when I save a page that contains a framed box (as in the above example), the box looses its right frame when it is displayed again (see page 3 of the attached pdf). It appears that the left edge is twice as thick. Any idea why this is happening and how I can avoid this? Thanks, Aditya

numberconversion bug?

The following used to work but fails in the latest beta (standalone): \definehead[BookTitle][title] \setuphead[BookTitle][style=\tfc, color=darkred] \starttext \setupnotation[footnote][interaction=start,numberconversion=set 3] %\setupnotation[footnote][interaction=start,numberconversion=romannumerals] \startBookTitle[ title={\em Some title\note[trans]}] \stopBookTitle % \footnotetext[trans]{a footnote} \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numbers] \resetnumber[footnote] Loren ipsum\footnote{another footnote} \stoptext Now, whatever set I specify, the output is an arabic numeral. (numberconversion=romannumerals works.) Alan

[fontloader] crash in font-otf.lua / actions["reorganize glyph anchors"]
by Philipp Gesang 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Hi Hans, this bug was reported a while ago by user Thérèse on tex.stackexchange.com [1]. The font “Eadui.ttf” [2] causes the fontloader to access a nil value because the “Anchor-1” table is sparse (nil at index 3). Test file for Context: https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests/src/tip/cnt-eadui.tex Patch attached, though I suspect it covers only the symptoms.

vertical alignment of table of contents in makeup
by Mark Szepieniec 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

There is a trick mentioned on the wiki for top-aligning the contents of a makeup page, namely adding "top=,", which cancels the default value of \vss, which is infinitely strechable space. However, that doesn't seem to work when the first element in the makeup page is \completecontent: \starttext % top= here doesn't seem to be working... \startmakeup[standard][top=,] \completecontent \section{testsection} \stopmakeup \stoptext Here, the table of contents and the section are both placed on the makeup page, but they are centered vertically. If the \completecontent line is commented out, the correct vertical alignment of the section header is obtained. Is there a way to get top-alignment when a makeup page starts with \completecontent? Is this a bug? Or should I even be using makeup pages in my table of contents? Mark

setting margins in makeup
by Mark Szepieniec 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

I'm having trouble resetting my margins in makeup pages. I want the makeup pages to have equal topspace, bottomspace, backspace and cutspace, regardless of the standard layout of the rest of the document. Following Wolfgang's recommendation ( http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/079409.html) I tried the following: \setuppapersize [A4][A4] % Standard page layout \setuplayout [width=middle, backspace=1.5in, cutspace=1.5in, height=middle, topspace=0.75in, bottomspace=0.75in] % Title page layout % \definemakeup defines a layout with the same name, which we alter. \definemakeup[titlepage] \setuplayout [titlepage][width=middle, backspace=20mm, height=middle, topspace=20mm] \starttext \startmakeup[titlepage][top=,] bla \stopmakeup But, on my system, this puts the "bla" too far from the top of the page, and it looks as though the topspace has not been set properly. (Backspace seems ok), Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to achieve this? Also, the manual says I can use the command \showframe to display frames to help in debugging, but that doesn't seem to do anything for me? Thanks in advance, Mark

[fontloader] positioning of diacritics
by Philipp Gesang 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Good morning! This report by Github user SverreStausland has been lingering on the Luaotfload tracker for a while: There appears to be a difference between how certain faces of the Libertine family handle the placement of diacritics. With Version 5.1.2 of the family [0], the "RZI" version (fullname: “Linux Libertine O Semibold Italic”) shows a different behavior than its “RZ” companion (“Linux Libertine O Semibold”). Short demonstration in Context: \definefontfeature [ourfeats] [default] [mode=node] \starttext \start \definedfont [file:LinLibertine_RI.otf*ourfeats] V\char"0306 \stop \start \definedfont [file:LinLibertine_RZI.otf*ourfeats] V\char"0306 \stop \stoptext Note the misaligned combining breve above the latter. An equivalent test for Plain [1] shows that the correct position information is there somewhere in the font, since the Xetex engine typesets it correctly. Best regards, Philipp [0] MD5 hashes of the files: 4bfd3481c1486f5d1ea13304981df7a6 LinLibertine_RZI.otf 153765bd2b29d6026fb2fa0b198a4995 LinLibertine_RZ.otf [1] https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests/src/tip/pln-diacritics-1.tex

[fontloader] node injector / december 3 sync
by Philipp Gesang 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hi Hans, from the huge changeset two weeks ago: +texio.write_nl("The font code has been brought in sync with the context version of 2014.12.01 so") +texio.write_nl("if things don't work out as expected the interfacing needs to be checked. When") -- Message received ;) First off, thanks for bringing the fontloader into sync again. So far I haven’t noticed any obviously broken features. However, something is off with the node injector. We have a bug reported by Hironori Kitagawa that occurs with the ``palt`` feature in node mode: http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2014-November/004976.html Importing the shiny new font injector into the merged fontloader fixes the issue. FWIW here are test files https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests/src/tip/cnt-features-12-palt.tex https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests/src/tip/pln-features-12-palt.tex The Context version runs fine whereas the plain one does so only after my “fix”. The same is true for Context itself: replace font-inj.lua with node-inj.lua in the format to reproduce the issue. Is there a fix to the fontloader, perhaps only temporarily until the revised injector becomes ready? Best, Philipp
