Combining "outer" effect with filled glyphs
by Mojca Miklavec 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi, I would like to get red text with black outlines. The magic in ConTeXt that does the outline is \starteffect[outer] Something \stopeffect but I would like to combine normal filled glyphs with an outline. While I'm able to come up with some magic to do this for single lines (creating zero width hboxes etc.), I would really like to typeset a complete paragraph on a poster. Is there any magic that would allow me to do that? Thank you, Mojca

Re: [NTG-context] splitting bibliographic references

What I would do anyway is to make a subsection or a subject “References" after each essay, add the references that I have not cited in my text as \nocite[key] and finish with \placepublications[criterium=cite]. I should perhaps add that I always process my projects without using the bib-module. I separately make the necessary .bbl-files, which I linput before \starttext. It gives me a lot of flexibility. I hope this helps. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Because of the concise syntax "prefix=+" it is difficult to google for an example. This feature is mentioned in two places: 1. contextref.pdf in section "12.5 Cross references" explains the main mechanism but seems a little outdated. 2. Hans Hagen, "This Way - Cross document referencing", September 2011. This is more up to date, but mentions the feature only briefly. The mentioned key there is not "prefix" but "referenceprefix", which doesn't seem to work either. Regards, Christoph Reller

Metafun standalone and fonts
by Pol Stra 29 Sep '14

Hello! I have an mp file that I use with success in my document with mprun. But if I try to generate the figure alone with this command: mpost --mem=metafun myfigure.mp I obtain this error: > ! Font cmr10 not usable: TFM file not found. > thelabel->...ture(EXPR3):infont.defaultfont.scaled > > .defaultscale.fi;(p.shifte > ... > > l.22 label.ulft("$\vec{k}$", point infinity of p4) ; This is with my ConTeXt installation with only mkiv. The ConTeXt installation with both mkiv and mkii, the error is: > Warning: cannot open font map file psfonts.map > ] > Missing character: There is no 226 in font cmr10! I tried to set: >defaultfont:="latinmodernmath"; Which is in the list of: >mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern= but it doesn't found the TFM file either. I know I can use the: \startMPpage \input myfigure.mp \stopMPpage But the point is I want to generate an svg file, not a pdf. (mpost -s 'outputformat="svg";prologues:=3' --mem=metafun myfigure.mp) Note that with mpost command, it use metafun.mpii, while with mprun, it use metafun.mpiv. Thanks

Using PSTricks
by Herbert Voss 28 Sep '14

28 Sep '14

This example from m-pstricks.mkiv doesn't work, there is a missing file extension in m-pstricks.mkii: line 46 (macro \doifelse)is: \loadpstrickscolors{colo-rgb}} should be \loadpstrickscolors{colo-rgb.mkii}} otherwise it searches for colo-rgb.mkiv which doesn't exist. I do not understand why it searches for mkiv because in the background runs context mkii (started by by m-pstricks.lua). If I use the extension the follwing example works fine with current minimal: \usemodule[pstricks] \usePSTRICKSmodule[pst-barcode] \starttext \startPSTRICKS \pspicture(-4mm,-1mm)(38mm,26mm) \psbarcode[linecolor=red]{9781860742712}{includetext guardwhitespace}{ean13}% \endpspicture \stopPSTRICKS \stoptext Herbert

> However the resulting PDF shows incorrect characters. Incorrect characters are in "Hirakana" and "Katakana". The incorrect Japanese characters are also shown in the case of "SourceHanSans-Regular.otf", the same feature in the case of "NotoSansCJKjp-Regular.otf". On the other hand, if I use "SourceHanSansJP-Regular.otf", all characters seem to be correct. All fonts are version 1.001. In the case of XeTeX with the latest xdvipdfmx in the TL repository, "SourceHanSans-Regular.otf", "SourceHanSansJP-Regular.otf", and "NotoSansCJKjp-Regular.otf" give the same correct results.

Latest beta stops loading some ttc fonts
by Hongwen Qiu 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

The following minimal example used to work fine: \starttypescript [serif] [zhfonts] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:nsimsun] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [zhfonts] \definetypeface [zhfonts] [rm] [serif] [zhfonts] \stoptypescript \usetypescript [zhfonts] \setupbodyfont [zhfonts, rm, 11pt] \starttext 测试 \stoptext but it's no longer the case. The font used here is 'simsun.ttc' which ships with Chinese edition Windows systems by default. When I require "name:nsimsun" as above, the TTFAddLangStr() function in the luatex code base will have the following information: fontname lang NSimSun 0 NSimSun 1033 新宋体 2052 That is when lang equals 0 or 1033, the fontname will be NSimSun, but when lang equals 2052, the fontname will be 新宋体, the Chinese words for NSimSun. Although the ValidatePostScriptFontName() complains about the Chinese name of this font, and set 'bad_ps_fontname' to true, luatex itself don't stop the font fromgetting the right fontname NSimSun, since it chooses ASCII names when there're multiple fontnames. But actions["check metadata"](font-otf.lua, 1812)，sets the metadata.fontname from the correct "NSimSun" to "bad-fontname-simsun", and this change causes ff_get_ttc_index() to always return -1 as the index, which caused ConTeXt to complain about the following error message before bail out: (bad-fontname-simsun:-1)Invalid TTC index number mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 So, maybe font-otf.lua may need not change metadata.fontname and metadata.fullname if these two names are not nil?

new beta
by Hans Hagen 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

Hi, the first beta after the meeting: There are some changes to export and epub generation (will be explained in a manual). The most important is that there has been some improvements of the math export (esp fences and stackers). More will follow. The export now happens in a subpath. The epub generation is for 3.0 and has more options (like --purge, --svgmath and --rename). The svg math works quite ok (and is needed because it looks like only firefox will support mathml natively). The grid snapper has a few new methods, min, max and box that can be used in cases like \snaptogrid[min]\hbox{e.g. an image} The external figure mechanism has a new predefined conversion. One cna for instance say: \setupexternalfigures [order={pdf,eps,png,jpg}, conversion=cmyk.pdf, method=auto] We need it for projects where printing houses use over a decade old rips. There are probably some more things done but I already forgot about them.

Instruction required about hyphenation patterns
by Francisco Gracia 25 Sep '14

25 Sep '14

As well the original TeX manual as ConTeXt's one try to dissuade one of enquiring deeper into the subject of hyphenation patterns. For several reasons not to be explained at this moment this is however what I want to do. I have read all that I have found about the subject and think to have got a rather clear idea of the fundamental concepts. But I have been unable to understand how they are applied and can be managed in ConTeXt. So I would eagerly receive instruction about this question from someone who is competent enough in the field. As I understand that this is too involved a subject and of too little general interest for the mailing list, I suggest that any potential teacher sends me a private mail (fgragu023(a)gmail.com) I am ready to consider this as a consultorship or tutorship. Thanks in advance Francisco

Hi Hans, Can you please try the code below? I found three issues with it: 1. node-ltp.lua is not completely ready for nuts mode, e.g. line 3148: elseif order == 0 and hlist.list and last_badness > tex.hbadness then where ‘hlist.list' should be 'getfield(hlist, "list”)’ 2. with tracing on, I always get: Lua linebreak_filter failed, reverting to default on line 1 which makes me nervous. Does that mean it works ok without tracing, or does it just not report that it does not work? 3. with tracing on, there is a double-free of a glyph node (this could be specific to tufte) TIA, Taco Code: \tracingparagraphs=1 \tracingonline=1 \starttext \startparbuilder[basic] \input tufte \stopparbuilder \stoptext

Set: The Card Game

Hi, Another ConTeXt example. https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/salish-card-set/src/ Included is a script (svg2mp.sh) that converts SVG files into MetaPost code. This allows for editing the image shapes in Inkscape (or similar) then manipulating them in MetaPost. This example code produces a thematic variation on Set. There are a few unsightly hacks, and some duplicated code that could be eliminated. Improvements and general comments are welcome.
