Automatic adjusting the font size to fill the text-area
by "H. Özoguz" 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hello there, in my actual book there is one special condition: It is already clear which paragraphs of the text have to be set on page 1, which on page 2 etc.pp. (a nearly 700 pages-project). So there are no page-breaks within a paragraph, no overruns are allowed. But now the question: The text for each page has not always the same length. So on some pages there might be many empty space at the buttom, while on others the textarea is completely filled. At the beginning I have to set an font-size - so I have to set it, such that the longest text fits into the text area on its page. But of course, many other pages maye filled only 60%. (That is the spectrum of the text-lengths in this project). So one direct solution is clear (if one wants to have filled or nearly-filled pages, and I want this): I can change the font-size for every single page. But which size? It is a experiment, so I have to try 10pt, then compile, then 10.8pt .... ok, was too much, got an page-overrun .... lets try 10.4pt ..... and this for every single of the 700 pages. That is possible of course, and if there is no other way, this will be my approach. So: Is there some trick or way for automatically find the best (biggest) font-size (up to some precision, maybe one digit after decimal point in pt), s.t. the text produces no overrun (no page-brake)? I guess no, because ConTeXt had to run the compiling several times or so ... but better to ask and then to begin with the exhausting work. Thanks. Huseyin

Calculating with variables
by "H. Özoguz" 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hello there, I am new in variables in ConTeXt, so I tried the the following example of two font-sizes wich should have a ratio of 0.7: \setvariables[fontsize][bigsize=17pt] \setvariables[fontsize][smallsize=0.7\getvariable{fontsize}{size}] \definefont[big][name:arial at \getvariable{fontsize}{bigsize}] \definefont[small][name:arial at \getvariable{fontsize}{smallsize}] \starttext \big Dies ist ein großer Text.\blank \small Dies ist ein kleiner Text. \stoptext That does not work, what is the correct syntax? [Second question about this will be much more involving I think ... :), but I will give it his own thread]. Thanks. Huseyin

Now all issues with this font are solved (new issues within my actual project will surely follow, but no font-issues, I hope). I have to say once more, that I never had experienced before a such fast and competent software-support, that is at least as valuable as the software itself is! To your comments: Ok, yes, it is not a really normal font. It is specially designed for typesetting the holy quran (which is really no easy work). And there is so absolutely no problem that ALL numbers are mapped to ligatures -> there are no digits in the text of the holy quran :) (all numbers are written out at that time). Thanks again!

So, to clear all questions: for this min-example (which is at the moment my last unsolved problem with this font) I used this font: http://fonts.qurancomplex.gov.sa/download/UthmanicHafs1Ver09Font.zip And yes, Corel Draw uses this font, too. BUT: There might me some issue with this font relating this end-of-aya-symbol, independent from ConTeXt. See the attached JPG, which is the output of CorelDraw, if I input exactly the same arabic code, like in my example. You see in the picture a different behaviour between the one-digit and two-digit numbers aswell. But it is a different behaviour from ConText, the symbol is used, but the brackets are not replaced. Can you reproduce it now? Thanks! Huseyin

Placing a > combining Hamza over a Tatweel to “fake” it is wrong IMO. So in Amiri > you just type “بِءَايَٰتِ” and voilà, every thing is rendered correctly (the > same is true for the small Alef). Yes, that works. But the direct way works with Uhtmanic1HafsVer9: \definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 17pt] \starttext \setupalign[r2l] \arabicamiri بِـَٔايَـٰتِ \blank \arabicuth بِـَٔايَـٰتِ \stoptext To be honest, in Corel Draw UthmanicHafs is the perfect font for my purpose - at least in CorelDraw - e.g.: The ayat-numbers are printed as a unicode-symbol, not as numbers (perfect, because ConTeXt has problems with the direction with arabic numbers, they are mirrored in ConTeXt). But it is only perfect in CorelDraw, in ConTeXt some things are not recognized correctly, as I mentioned. E.g. this one: \definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 17pt] \starttext \setupalign[r2l] \arabicuth لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٢﴾ \stoptext If I put the same arabic into CorelDraw, it prints a nice Unicode-Symbol for the number - see the JPG I have attached here, screenshot from CorelDraw, but ConTeXt ignores the brackets and prints just a verys small number. There are some problems like this. Are they easy to fix, or is this problem deeply involved? Huseyin

I've fixed it by applying a margin to everything and setting a negative width to the numbers (distance = -width): \setupcombinedlist[chapter][ distance=0.5cm, width=-0.5cm, margin=2cm, numbercommand={\simplealignedbox{\listparameter{width}}{flushright}}, ] I don't know exactly why it works, but it works :-) Jan

Again, because arabic seems to be vanished in my first posting, I dont know why. Thanks Khaled, the Naskh-Style is not an absolute requirement, but it is very well known and very common (at least for muslims in germany) - and it is very nice, of course, this is an question of flavor. I know your font, of course, but I had always problems with it in typesetting quran. Maybe you can help? See the following code: \definefont[arabicamiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefont[arabicb][file:uthmantn1ver10.ttf*arabic at 17pt] \starttext \setupalign[r2l] \arabicamiri مِن قَبْلُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ \blank\blank \arabicb مِن قَبْلُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ\par \stoptext There are some issues within this example: - overlapping letters (see "Aziyz") - "bi ayaatillah" (overlapping of fatha and hamza) And besides from that: It is not so harmonic like the other font, seems more like a not-caligraphic hand-font (no offense of course :)) But possibly I am making something very wrong, can you help me? Thank you very much. My project is to typesetting quran completely, and that is not easy without an perfect font. If you have a commercial variant with license, please inform me, our company would surely buy it. Thanks and wassalam
