doublestroke
by Elspeth McGullicuddy 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

Hi, I'm writing math and I'm using "modern", and I would like to use "doublestroke". There is an example here, http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2008/037124.html, but I think it's not likely to work since families aren't used anymore. I really can't think how it should be done, and all I've found would be through some substitution mechanism as described in "fonts-mkiv.pdf". I could use an example of replacing a "vector" of a font, by another font. There might be things too with "simplefonts" and "fallback" mechanism, but I haven't seen examples with math. Regards, Chris

pdf format
by H. van der Meer 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

In the past, when viewing the pdf produced by ConTeXt in the viewer of my browser (Safari) there is shown one page at a time. Old ones still do this. But pdf produced nowadyas is different, 4 pages appear in the browser window. The same happens for example looking at the latest LuaTeX manual. Has something changed in pdf production? Perhaps some parameter that the Adobe-plugin of the browser lets show the pdf that way? And if this is indeed the case, how can I get the original behaviour of one page per view back?

Hello all, did anyone else experience this: fonts | names | globbing path '/Users/willi/Library/Fonts/**.ttf' fonts | names | globbing path '/Library/Fonts/**.ttf'Segmentation fault: 11 I struggle with this issue since I stepped over to a new Mac book Air. Is there something tricky in the Library/Fonts directory? May be a subfolder could cause this? Kind regards Will

Request for metapost
by DesdeChaves 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

I know that metapost can send the variables "version", "number", "string", "point", "quad", "boolean" and "path" to Context. "triplet" variable can't pass. It will be very usefull if metapost can send a array to context. \startMPcode numeric x[]; for i = 1 upto 10: x[i]:=random; endfor passvariable("array",x); passvariable("version","1.0") ; passvariable("number",x[1]) ; passvariable("string","whatever") ; passvariable("point",(1,2)) ; passvariable("triplet",(1,2,3)) ; passvariable("quad",(1,2,3,4)) ; passvariable("boolean",false) ; passvariable("path",fullcircle scaled 1cm) ; \stopMPcode \ctxluacode{inspect(metapost.variables)} \ctxcommand{mprunvar("array")} Thanks in advance Jorge

ConTeXt hyphenation patterns for Indic languages
by Rajeesh K Nambiar 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I have tried to generate the hyphenation patterns for Malayalam language from the TeX hyphenation patterns, but the unicode characters were skipped. On TeXLive 2013, ConTeXt version 2013.04.20, this is what was tried: 1. Uncommented line for "ml" in mtx-patterns.lua 2. Ran "mtxrun --script patterns --convert --path=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/txt/ --destination=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/context/patterns/" 3. Output shows all patterns are removed with similar messages to: "mtx-patterns | removing line with suspected utf character അ (0x0D05), category lo: 1അ1" What is the proper way to add hyphenation patterns for a new language? In addition, how to add a 'new language' to the ConTeXt base (such that \language[ml] can be used? I see "base/lang-ind.mkii" where I could add "\setupheadtext" etc for the language, what is the equivalent for mkiv? Thanks for any answers or pointers. -- Regards, Rajeesh

luatex lunatic
by DesdeChaves 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Dear sirs I would like to try luatex lunatic ( http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Luigi.scarso/luatex_lunatic) but i d'ont find the luatex-0.42. I'm looking in https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10&release_id=406#luatex-beta-0.76… I've been looking for a way to simulate data with different distributions (normal, poisson, exponential, etc.) in the .tex file. The use of GSL library is a good option, but it seems impossible to import in luatex. Another way is using the R-statistical through filter module***, which seems to work well in luatex. At this time I would try to import the GSL functions through python script. For that i think that i need the older luatex 0.42 but I don't find that. *** \defineexternalfilter [R] [ filtercommand={R CMD BATCH -q --save --restore \externalfilterinputfile\space \externalfilteroutputfile}, output=\externalfilterbasefile.out, directory=output, readcommand=\typefile, read=no, cache=yes, ] Jorge

Table in header, or multicolumn header
by Marco Pallante 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hello everyone, I'm starting to write some technical documents for a customer. I used MS Word in the past because that's what they use, then switched to OO Writer for the last job, but I'm not very comfortable with neither of them, so I decided to switch to ConTeXt. However, I'm facing with a problem. Page headings must contain a three columns table, with a logo in the left cell, a title in the middle one and finally some rows with a document reference number, the issue, the issue date and "page/pages" numbers. I'm not sure if I should use the \startcolumns environment (but it doesn't seems to work in headers or footers) or one of the various table environments. Could you give me some advice? I attached a screenshot of what the header looks like in Writer. Thank you, Marco Pallante

Understanding the basics of \define

Hello: I'm struggling with understanding the way \define is supposed to work. I would like to have a macros to generate tables and populate them with some specific data submitted as arguments. I apologize for my lack of understanding of the very basics, but e.g. the following code just doesn't compile: \define[1]\mytable{ \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell #1 \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable} \mytable{abc} I would appreciate your help and maybe some references to read (if any) in order to educate myself. Kind regards, Pavel.

[OT] Type:Rider
by Flavien Lambert 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Dear all, I am pretty sure that some of you are fond of typography so I dared to make you aware of a really beautiful game running on phones and tablets dedicated to typography. Called Type:Rider, it is composed of several chapters, each dealing with a period of time illustrating the main techniques, fonts and design ideas. The game is really well done in terms of picture and music, the character being two dots evolving on letters from the main font of the time with background extracted from well-known art scenes. Best regards, Flavien.
