LuaTeX-Plain and OTF/TTF Fonts
by Aire Funvake 06 May '14

06 May '14

Dear Group, Thank you for your time. I'm starting out with TeX/ConTeXt, but want to arrive via LuaTeX (`luatex-plain.tex/fmt`). Managed to build, move and use `luatex-plain`. Have the same problem under MacOSX & Win7 (here is the Win-specific decription -- `%CTX%` is my ConTeXt root): Placed some fonts under `%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\minion\` & `%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\myriad`. Executed, the following commands, recognising there might be redundancy, but not sure): mtxrun --script fonts --update --force mtxrun --script fonts --update --simple mtxrun --script fonts --update mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=minion Result: minionpro minionprobold MinionPro-Bold.otf minionprobold minionprobold MinionPro-Bold.otf minionproboldit minionproboldit MinionPro-BoldIt.otf minionprobolditalic minionproboldit MinionPro-BoldIt.otf minionproit minionproit MinionPro-It.otf minionproitalic minionproit MinionPro-It.otf minionpronormal minionproit MinionPro-It.otf minionproregular minionproregular MinionPro-Regular.otf `hello.tex` - luatex-plain test file: %[luatex-plain] Hello % font\T =minionproregular at 12pt\T Hello world. \bye Executed: luatex-plain hello.tex Result: fonts : font with asked name 'minionproregular' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts : unknown font 'minionproregular', loading aborted ! Font \ch=minionproregular at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad. Looked in `%CTX%\tex\texmf-cache\luatex-cache\generic\fonts\data` at the file `luatex-font-names.lua`. The fonts were listed. Then deleted the `luatex-font-names.luc` file, added the full paths to the fonts in front of all the file names in the `.lua` file. Running `luatex-plain hello.tex` again, works now as expected (it seems to recreate the `luatex-font-names.luc` automatically). Setting `OSFONTDIR` before font update and/or before running `luatex-plain`, have no observable effect. So, I do have a manual fix/solution. But is there an easier way? Thanks in advance, -- Aíre Funvake

[Metapost] Using mkIV and metapost to produce SVG
by ralf.waldvogel＠pta.de 06 May '14

06 May '14

Dear all, as I have seen on the mailing list digest, my original (HTML) mail has been scrambled. Sorry for that. Here the repost: I would like to produce an svg file from a Metapost input file using some of ConTeXt's typesetting features (esp. using System OTF Fonts) using something like: \startbuffer[buffer:dummy] \start \startcolor[white] \framed[align=middle,width=28mm,frame=off] { \SansBodyBold % Font definition done earlier Test to \par rendered \par } \stopcolor \stop \stopbuffer % .... \startuniqueMPgraphic{mp:margin} picture text; text := btex \getbuffer[buffer:dummy] etex; draw text shifted(-11.8mm,-4.8mm ); % Some more fancy drawing her \stopuniqueMPgraphic Can I render that with MetaPost to SVG? Is it possible to render text as paths not as referenced glyphs in MetaPost/ConTexT? Unfortunately I have to stick to SVG as the resulting output format. Converting from PDF to SVG is not an option at the moment due a) performance considerations and b) trouble with generated font names in the resulting ConTeXt PDF file (inkscape as well as pdf2svg produce real strange results). Please let me know, if you need furhter information. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards, Ralf http://www.pta.de Mit ca. 2.460 Erfahrungsberichten aus 45 Jahren erfolgreicher Projektarbeit!

> after={\blank[0em]\blank[disable]}] Yes it also works, thank you Thangalin. So here is the final solution (I have added the 'nowhite' keyword in the second blank to kill whitespaces when they are active) to get real empty heads (sections here) in the document: \setupwhitespace[line] \setuphead [section] [placehead=empty, page=yes, after={\blank[none]\blank[nowhite, disable]}] \setuphead [subsection] [placehead=yes, before={\blank[line]}, after={\blank[line]}] \setupheadertexts[section] \showframe \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{2} {\section{My section} \dorecurse{2} {\subsection{My subsection} \input knuth}} \stoptext

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startxtable[option=stretch] \startxrow \startxcell One line And another \stopxcell \startxcell This breaks the following cell. \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell This cell has multiple lines. Vertical spacing is wrong. \stopxcell \startxcell What am I missing? \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext I don’t know whether this is a bug.

Head titles and section blocks bug in s-pre-60.tex module
by Maggyero 05 May '14

05 May '14

Hans, I think there is a bug in your s-pre-60.tex module regarding the step mechanism interacting with section blocks: the head titles disappear each time ConTeXt starts a new section block. I have found a way to solve this problem by putting \StartSteps\StopSteps (empty pair, and it works also with \StartStep\StopStep empty pair) right after the start of each section block, like this for instance: \startbodymatter\StartSteps\Stopsteps blablabla \stopbodymatter. Could you correct this? Here is a minimal example illustrating the problem: \usemodule[pre-60] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \startfrontmatter \startsection[title=My frontmatter section] % <-- Title displayed: fine. \StartSteps \startitemize \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stopsection \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \startsection[title=My bodymatter section] % <-- Title NOT displayed: bug? \StartSteps \startitemize \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stopsection \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \startsection[title=My backmatter section] % <-- Title NOT displayed: bug? \StartSteps \startitemize \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stopsection \stopbackmatter \startappendices \startsection[title=My backmatter section] % <-- Title NOT displayed: bug? \StartSteps \startitemize \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stopsection \stopappendices \stoptext Regards.

For those who are interested, I've finally solved my problem (the vertical space before a subsection which was not automatically swallowed at the top of a page when the page started with an empty section) by using the pair 'after={\vskip 0em\blank[disable]}' for sections: \setuphead [section] [placehead=empty, page=yes, after={\vskip 0em\blank[disable]}] \setuphead [subsection] [placehead=yes, before={\blank[line]}, after={\blank[line]}] \setupheadertexts[section] \showframe \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{2} {\section{My section} \dorecurse{2} {\subsection{My subsection} \input knuth}} \stoptext

When you apply features to a font you can set a list of features and all of them will be applied. In the example below you can see both methods, the first text uses the new featurelist “testfeature” which uses “default” and extends it with “protrusion=quality”. The second text applies the two predefined lists “default” and “quality” (which sets “protrusion=quality” and “expansion=quality”). \setupalign[hanging] \definefontfeature[testfeature][default][protrusion=quality] \showframe[text][text] \starttext \startfont[Serif*testfeature] \input knuth \stopfont \startfont[Serif*default,quality] \input knuth \stopfont \stoptext Wolfgang

Proper setting of font features for protrusion/expansion

Dear All, e.g. in the last example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Protrusion there is the following definition: \definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] I understand it overrides default settings and adds these two features. In my code I use the following shortcut found somewhere: \definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default, quality}] Both features works, but I am not sure if I am getting the best quality. Is there any description what that '[features={default, quality}]' option really does? Thanks, Jan

Empty heads after leading whitespace
by Maggyero 04 May '14

04 May '14

Thanks Wolfgang. I could even have sections in the TOC with '\setuptexttexts[{\placerawheaddata[section]}]'. However, how can I start a new page at each new section? The 'page=yes' pair does no longer work with your solution 'placehead=hidden' (since the head is not placed I guess). I also tried 'before=\page' or 'after=\page' without more success. Here is a minimal example showing the absence of page breaks though I specified 'page=yes' (the section numbers are also mismatched but if one puts manual page breaks they match again, so it's not really a problem for me): \setupheadertexts[\namedstructurevariable{section}{title}][] \setuphead [section] [placehead=hidden, page=yes] % <-- This key does NOT work. \setuphead [subsection] [placehead=yes, before={\blank[line]}, after={\blank[line]}] \setuptexttexts[{\placerawheaddata[section]}] \showframe \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{2} {\section{My section} \dorecurse{2} {\subsection{My subsection} \input knuth}} \stoptext

Standalone
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 03 May '14

03 May '14

On my system I already have Cygwin. I want to install the standalone Context. Which involves basically: mkdir -o /opt/context cd /opt/context wget "http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh chmod 744 first-setup.sh ./first-setup.sh #this works up to this point only partially. - /opt/context/tex is not installed. This is a bad error. It causes - first-setup.sh to fail. And what is loaded will cause conflicts with cygwin which already exists, I believe. I can't see why rsync is use to load anothe versio of rsync in a diff location. #1. Why does 1st setup duplicate Cygwin dlls? I've hurd that having multiple cygwin*.dlls can cause problems. Besideds They already exist and so does luatex.exe for that matter. 'first-setup.sh' should know that it does a test for CYGWIN, but doesn't seem to do anything with it. #2. Also redundant and confusing is first-setup.sh forces the fetching of rsync by an already existing rsync. Is rsync already exists, why fetch another one and put it in a different location. I have texlive for unix on a cygwin platform, on top of an XP system. I want to make installing the standalone easy for cyginw and linux. # # Firstly, exactly what packages are needed for context? # I assume it's one or more of the mtx prefixed programs below. Please advise. - mtx-update.lua - mtxrun.exe - mtxrun.dll - mtxrun.lua - lua52.dll - luatex.dll Is this needed in addition to luatex.exe? - luatex.exe <Note: cygwin has luatex.exe same functionality?> - kpathsea620.dll <Note: TeXLive has kpath related code> I understand that there are not a lot of people experimenting with the latest ConTeXt and even less for the Cygin platform. But, I would like to make it easer and clearer for Cygwin users who do want to experiement with the latest versions. I don't know if installing for a native linux version is easier or more straightforward or not. Regards.

Hi all, I am using \placepublications[criterium=section] in order to have a bibliography at the end of each section. The trouble is that the references already cited in the precedents sections won't appear. Is there an option to modify that, or another trick to have all the publications desired at the end of every sections? Many thanks, I wish you a nice week end Louis-Solal

Thank you. The unicode text looked good (although reversed left-to-right as I sent it) in my sent mail, and it looked perfect (corrected right-to-left) in your response. But it did not look good in the digest email (all the letters were convered to ?'s). Also it's typesetting fine in ConTeXt except for the vowel placement. Any suggestions there? Thank you again.

The code is based on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate#Headers ---- \starttext \setuptabulate[split=yes,header=repeat] \starttabulatehead \HL \NC A \NC B \NC\NR \HL \stoptabulatehead \starttabulate[|l|l|] %\starttabulatebody \dorecurse{100}{\NC a \NC b \NC\NR} %\stoptabulatebody \stoptabulate \stoptext ---- Where is the problem?
