Base mode ignores specified script and language
by Khaled Hosny 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

In base mode the specifies script and language and always uses the default. This is because in font-otb.lua the feature initializer is registered at position 1 while setscript et al. in font-oti.lua are not giving a position, as a result base mode feature initialisation is invoked before script/language are set. Removing the position from features initializer registration fixes my immediate problem, but I'm not sure if it has any other complication. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab

Bug: footnote's "textcommand" overflows?
by Oliver Buerschaper 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Dear all, there appears to be a bug in the handling of font features in footnotes… the following messes up the footnote block in 2011.04.20 16:23, but yields the expected result in 2011.02.14 23:30. --- \definefontfeature [superscripts] [default] [sups=yes] \usetypefile [type-optical] \usetypescript [minion] \setupbodyfont [minion] \setupnote [footnote] [textcommand=\setfontfeature{superscripts}, textstyle=, numbercommand=] \starttext \dorecurse{9}{This\footnote{Hello World #1} is a test.\par } \stoptext --- The problem is not triggered for Latin Modern, also not for, say, "textcommand=\it". What's going on? Best, Oliver

LuaTeX bug in 4096?

Misplaced integral *scripts
by Khaled Hosny 24 Apr '11

24 Apr '11

See the attached file, it is broken for all OTF fonts; the italic correction is used the wrong way (added to width while it should be subtracted from it). It seems to be a ConTeXt issue (testing with same luatex binary but with TeXLive ConTeXt gives correct output). Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab

Re: [NTG-context] label bug with latest beta (2011.04.22)

Hi With the latest beta (2011.04.22) I cannot compile my thesis any more.

LuaTeX error /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/strc-lst.lua:496: no string to print stack traceback: [C]: in function 'texsprint' /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/strc-lst.lua:496: in function 'label' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. Shouldn't be the label function something like this: function lists.label(n) local l = lists.result[n] local t = l.titledata if t then texsprint(t.label or 0) -- 0 if no label? end end Can someone confirm this? It works with the 2011.04.20 beta, logs attached. Adam

First and last lines on a grid
by Oliver Buerschaper 23 Apr '11

23 Apr '11

Dear all, I'm having a little trouble with grids and page layout… I'm trying to align the first and last line of a page properly with the frame of the textblock. That is, I'd like to position the first baseline a certain distance below the textblock's upper border (say, the height of a "C" or even "É") and the last baseline a certain distance above the textblock's lower border (say, the actual depth of a "g"). How would I do that? I tried playing with "\setupinterlinespace", however, its options "top" and "bottom" appear to set relative distances. Once I change the leading funny things happen… like an empty first line. Also I'd like to typeset the page number flush with the lower border of the footer frame. How would I achieve that? Please find the source code of my attempt below. Oliver --- \definemeasure [gridwidth] [\dimexpr\paperwidth/9\relax] \definemeasure [gridheight] [\dimexpr\paperheight/9\relax] \setuplayout [grid=yes, backspace=\measure{gridwidth}, width=\dimexpr6\measure{gridwidth}\relax, topspace=\measure{gridheight}, height=\dimexpr7\measure{gridheight}\relax, leftmargin=\zeropoint, rightmargin=\zeropoint, header=\zeropoint, footer=\measure{gridheight}] \setupinterlinespace [line=\dimexpr\textheight/20\relax] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, location={footer,right}] \starttext \showframe \showgrid É \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} \stoptext ---

How can I achieve the opposite, means labels in the toc (like: Chapter 1, Appendix A, ...) but only the numbers in the document (like: 1 Chaptertitle, A Appendixtitle, ...) Adam

OT: drawing graphs: Asymptote, Gnuplot, MetaFun, …
by Paul Menzel 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, I need to plot some random walks similar to [1], but for example I need to emphasize certain sections of the plot and put labels and notes in there. Could you recommend a tool to easily accomplish that goal with easily. I guess it can be done with any of those as seen by the demos [2][3]. I only have little experience using Gnuplot and I have never used Asymptote or MetaFun. These three seem to be well integrated with ConTeXt and I guess in the end I could just create the image files and include these in to my ConTeXt source. The only downside of Asymptote I found so far is, that there is no mailing list.

> It’s the same as in the past, use MetaPost but there are better ways to change values of certain borders: As much as I like and prefer this solution, I can't get it to work as the old one. With the old one I had a frame 1pt, and just made a 2pt metapost frame around the last row. With the new example of yours I've came up with a minimal example that I've attached. I have to do the table setups, since I'm making the table via a macro, but for the simplicity I left that out from the minimal example. The problem is, that every even row seems to have thicker right/left and top borders, why is that? With both solution if I just draw a thicker bottom line it goes off on the right and left side.

I came across this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg25806.html but no solution there either. Then I've tried to move from externalfigure to useURL, but the same problem exists. For obvious reasons I don't want to use url shorteners, as with this kind of URL I can manipulate the resulting image inside the tex source. Any thoughts or solutions? Adam

by Cecil Westerhof 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

With the following code: \setupindenting[yes,medium,next] \starttext \input knuth \blank \input knuth \stoptext When using texexec (MKII) the paragraph after the \blank is not indented. When using context (MKIV) it is. Why this difference? -- Cecil Westerhof

no line break in CJK text in footnotes
by Li Yanrui (李延瑞) 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Hi Hans, At least for the beta 2011.04.03, the line break can not work for cjk text in footnotes. See the following example: \definefontsynonym[Serif][name:adobesongstd] \definetypeface[myfonts][rm][serif][myfonts][default] \setscript[hanzi] \setupbodyfont[myfonts,rm,11pt] \starttext \startbuffer[test-footnote] 所有动物都生而平等，但有些动物比其他动物更平等。所有动物都生而平等，但有些动物比其他动物更平等。所有动物都生而平等，但有些动物比其他动物更平等。 \stopbuffer \getbuffer[test-footnote] \blank 测试\footnote{\getbuffer[test-footnote]} \stoptext Just I added \setupfootnotes[style={\setscript[hanzi]}], the line break can work. -- Best regards, Li Yanrui

Widget and mandatory Rect field?
by Reviczky, Adam 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Hi I have a PDF with widgets and everything's fine with it, and I'm testing it by opening it with Adobe Reader. Now I had a look again with other viewers and when I open it with evince (poppler based), then it gives me some strange errors like this: "Error: Annotation rectangle is wrong type" Though it opens it fine and no problems at all. I googled a bit and found a bug report on this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29954 There it is said that its ConTeXt's fault, as "It has a Widget annotation without the mandatory Rect field". Is it really so? I couldn't find any threads on this on the list. Can someone confirm this, can this be even fixed? Adam PS: As there's an attached PDF on the bug report, but with mkii, I'm attaching a minimal mkiv PDF (widget.pdf), if that helps. made with: %%% \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \definefieldbody[email][type=line] \fieldbody[email] \stoptext %%%

So does anybody have a working example with 2011.04.13 for the cite? Using this example gives me a luatex error, and it used to work with earlier beta's: % sample.bib: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/sample_bib %%% \setupbibtex[database={sample},sort=author] % apa works, but I don't want apa % \setuppublications[alternative=apa] % neither num or default doesn't work \setuppublications[alternative=num] \starttext % \cite[][Eijkhout1991] works, but produces not a numbered output \cite[Eijkhout1991] \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext %%% The error I get is: ! LuaTeX error /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:192: attempt to compare number with string stack traceback: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:192: in function 'resolve' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk.
