Hi all, the current version doesn't work with the gentium font; it is displayed in a tiny size.

error: unable to define unbatangRegular as \*Myface12ptrmtfa*
by Jeong Dalyoung 27 May '10

27 May '10

Dear all, Today, I updated ConTeXt Minimal using first-setup.sh in my Mac. I compiled a file which was compiled well before update. But I got a strange result in the output. All english sentences are shown well except korean sentences. In the log file, ... systems : end file myBstyle at line 4 (/Users/graph/ConTeXtMini/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/type-kor.tex) !define font : font with name unbatangRegular is not found !define font : unknown font unbatangRegular, loading aborted !define font : unable to define unbatangRegular as \*Myface12ptrmtf* systems : begin file geo-euclid at line 11 (/Users/graph/Documents/Mathematics/geometry/geo-euclid.tex structure : chapter @ level 2 : 0.1 -> Euclidean Geoemtry !define font : font with name unbatangRegular is not found !define font : unknown font unbatangRegular, loading aborted !define font : unable to define unbatangRegular as \*Myface12ptrmtfc* !define font : font with name unbatangRegular is not found ... There is no change in the typescript file and the location of the fonts.

More interesting thing is that korean defined as bold face is shown. So I change the whole text as bold using {\bf whole text (english + korean)}, then every sentences is clearly shown in bold face. I checked "luatools UnBatang.ttf" which is defined as "unbatangregular", it locates where it is. ConTeXtMini graph$ luatools UnBatang.ttf /Users/graph/Library/Fonts/UnBatang.ttf Both current version and "ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV fmt: 2010.5.27 int: english/english" version work same. Why isn't it able to define "unbatangRegular" while it can use the "unbatangBold"? I am using Mac, ConTeXtMinimal. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'
by Mojca Miklavec 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hans, why don't you add a special-case in this case: > context test MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' if 'context.lua' cannot be found then either: a) instead of printing out "unknown script 'context.lua'" print out "please run 'luatools --generate'" - it will be less confusing for users b) or (may be even better) try to run "luatools --generate" automatically and then retry I guess that there is some not-too-difficult way to figure out from within mtxrun that no database exists yet.

Color tables in MKIV

Hi! There's an example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table#Background_Colors about color tables. I found that \BL and \CL works fine in MKII.

The above example works correctly with MkII (if > you replace test.bib with an actual bib file) So it seems that the actual bug is only about the spaces.

\vskip-\baselineskip after section header in mkIV
by Vianney le Clément 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hello, \vskip-\baselineskip behaves strangely when put after a section header. Here is a minimal example. \setuphead[subject][after=] \starttext \subject{Header} \vskip-\baselineskip Text \stoptext One would expect to have "Header" overprinted by "Text". This is the case in mkII, but not in mkIV where we get "Header" followed by "Text" on the same line. Is this a bug or a feature? Also interesting is when you add \setuphead[subject][style=] in the preample, then the behavior is like mkII. BTW, if you wonder why I'm using this, I want to put some additional info on the right side of the title when there is room left. Otherwise it should be put just below. Thanks, Vianney

texexec/context error messages [MkIV] [vim]
by Rogutės Sparnuotos 25 May '10

25 May '10

G'day, Shouldn't ConTeXt be stopping on "system : module simplefonts not found" instead of stopping on problems appearing only later, e.g. ! Undefined control sequence. <recently read> \setmainfont Shouldn't error messages like the first one be more noticeable? Why doesn't ConTeXt set an exit code when running in --batchmode or --nonstopmode? And, the initial reason for these questions: has anyone figured out an appropriate 'errorformat' for the 'vim' editor, for use with MkIV? The one at http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1925 seems to be working with MkII only... -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos

interaction [MkIV]
by Rogutės Sparnuotos 25 May '10

25 May '10

G'day, The defaults of interaction seem to be a bit strange (are they meant for slides?)... Could someone please help me with these points? A) Clicking on a reference to a footnote should take me to the footnote at the bottom of the page. B) Once at the bottom of the page, clicking on the footnote number should take me back to where it was referenced. A) doesn't work, hence the first question: is there a parameter that I can give to \setupinteraction[], to make links work when the destination of the reference is on the same page as the reference itself? B) changes the zoom level, even with 'focus=standard', and takes me to the previous page. An example: \setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard] \starttext \footnote{Note 1}\pagebreak \footnote{Note 2}\pagebreak \footnote{Note 3} \stoptext Compile, open pdf, go to the bottom of the document, click on the green '3'. By the way, why isn't the 'focus=standard' parameter mentioned in either Reference/en, or in setup-en.pdf? Found about it here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Interaction P.S. I am using the 'evince' document viewer; PDFs generated with XeLaTeX work very well. -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos

Thanks a lot for some more insight. I admit that I didn't know the details (I should be ashamed) and in my area they were more radical with surname changes (mine was Michelazzi and I think that most surnames here were "properly Romanized", for example Filipčič -> Filippi, so again no problems with hyphenation :) :) :). > This spelling remained > when North East Italy and Istria were annexed to the Kingdom of Italy at the > end of WW1.

There's no need to apologize. First, there's an "infinite" number of foreign names, so that one simply cannot get all of them right. I guess that Lju-bl-ja-na is not properly hyphenated either (Lu-bia-na is ok), but in my opinion it's a valid argument that one should change the language when writing foreign names if they are to be hyphenated properly. I can also easily imagine Slovenian patterns that would hyphenate: Fis-cher, Aac-hen, Go-ethe when not knowing that those letters represent a single "letter"/sound in foreign words. Second, I have no idea, but I think it was a pure coincidence that the "problem" reported by Rogutės Sparnuotos is the same as that for surnames of a group of people on North-East (I think that the name in question comes from Russia with translitaration done by English). On the other hand if it's just a tiny pattern that solves them all ... > I will submit, at least for Italian, a revised > pattern file. I doubt I should do it also for Latin, although it does not > cost anything... In case you do submit any updates, I would be extremely grateful for submitting an update to http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/pa… instead of (or at least in addition to) the original file (you may remove the initial comments). Also, if you happen to have the original of http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb13-1/tb34becc.pdf it would be nice to include it into repository as documentation about Italian hyphenation (but that's all too off-topic for the ConTeXt mailing list). Thanks again, Mojca

Lost document background

Hi Hans, under certain circumstances document backgrounds (overlays) are lost. A minimum real live example is this: \definelayer[test] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupmakeup[standard][doublesided=empty] % background is lost %\setupmakeup[standard][doublesided=yes] % background is visible \startsetups[test] \setlayer[test][hoffset=4cm,voffset=7cm]{\tfd text} \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test,setups=test] \starttext \startstandardmakeup text \stopstandardmakeup test \stoptext With 'doublesided=yes' the background is visible but with 'doublesided=empty' no background is shown. I spend a few hours to find the reason for this and i was able to produce a shorter example: \defineoverlay[test][\tfd text] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test,state=repeat] \starttext text\page\page[blank]\null\page %\chardef\pageornamentstate\zerocount text \stoptext The problem is that '\page[blank]' sets \pageornamentstate at global level to '1'.

Patterns in natural tables as background?

Hi, Is possible to put patterns as background in natural tables (bTABLE... eTABLE)? I'm thinking in striped background, or squared background or something more "complicated" as: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs7/i/2005/249/c/c/Scanline___screentone_pattern… The problem I see is that we need some transparency if we want to put text as foreground and not sacrify the legibility of the text.

When given explanation, I want to wikify it. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/startmakeup Regards, Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] Multiple citations at one position

Thank you for the fast responses. > Did you try "\cite[ref1,ref3,... ref9]" ? Yes, I did try this, but instead of "[1,2,3]" or "[1-3]" I just got "[1]". > Yes, it is OK. I am using in MKIV for multiple citation > \cite[ref1,ref3,... ref9] > Last delimiter is setting due commands \setupcite, for example > default setting (for num style) is \setupcite[num][lastpubsep={ and }] > I am using \setupcite[num][lastpubsep={,\,}] ... > > More informations about using bib module (\usemodule[bib] > \usemodule[bibltx]) is in Taco's document on: > http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/context/bib/bibmod- > doc.pdf > > Jaroslav I tried what you suggested, but without success. I'm using MkIV. My test case is: "\usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={test.bib}, sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=ams] \setupcite[num][lastpubsep={,\,}] \starttext \section{Section} \cite[ref1, ref2, ref3] \completepublications \stoptext" With this example tex-file I only get "[1]". Strangely: If I remove either the \section or the \completepublications command I get "[]"... Any ideas what causes this? Stefan

protcode again
by John Culleton 22 May '10

22 May '10

The following code works with mkii but not with mkiv: \usetypescript[times][texnansi] \usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure] \setupalign[hanging] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] \setuphead[chapter][page=right] I substituted "termes" for "times" in both places but it still works under mkii (texexec) but not mkiv (context). I'll proceed with mkii for the current project but long term I expect difficulties. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

ucgreek=normal as default
by Mikael Persson 21 May '10

21 May '10

Dear list and Hans, I recently realized that by default capital greek letters are italic. I believe that the default should be "normal", i.e. upright. %%% Test file %\setupmathematics[ucgreek=normal] % comment out to get nice upright greek captial letters :) \starttext $\Theta$ \stoptext %%% End test file What do others think?

feauture request - no numbers on blank pages at chapter's end
by Piotr Kopszak 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hello list, I don't know if it is only an idiosyncrasy of Polish typography but if a chapter ends with a blank page it should not display its number. It would be very useful if this could be an option (if not a default behaviour) of \setuppagenumbering . It's not a huge problem and I think I will not wait for a solution before sending my next book for printing, but it would be nice if it appeared in the future. Best Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Hi all, what is wrong with the following example? I would expect "Erstes Kapitel" etc. instead of "Kapitel Eins" in the bookmarks. Further "Inhaltsverzeichnis" don‘t appear in the bookmarks. \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[all] \starttext \starttitle[title=Inhaltsverzeichnis,bookmark=Inhaltsverzeichnis] \placecombinedlist[content] \stoptitle \startchapter[title=Kapitel Eins,bookmark=Erstes Kapitel] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Kapitel Zwei,bookmark=Zweites Kapitel] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Kapitel Drei,bookmark=Drittes Kapitel] \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext Thanks in advance Andreas

Lua and metapost
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hi all, Since ConTeXt has LuaTeX and it contains Lua interpreter so I wonder if it is possible to write Lua code which can generate Metapost code for graphics. MetaLua can also help here. However, I do not know how to develop a Lua library which can be integrated with ConTeXt but then again I have not looked in this matter. As you people may be knowing Prof. John Hobby has written a Haskell frontend for Metapost which generates Metapost code. Having a Lua version of same will help a lot. My only concern is using MetaLua with ConTeXt. -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

How to place a (right) brace in a TABLE?
by Vladimir Lomov 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hi. (Sorry for unclear question in topic.) I want to put a brace (right or left isn't matter now) in a TABLE (may be another table environment) like in below scheme a11 a12| a13 a21 a22| a23 a31 a32 a33 a41 a42 a43 a51 a52| a53 a61 a62| a63 Here '|' marks place and elements which should be grouped by a brace. Thanks in advance, Vladimir Lomov. P.S. I'm new in context and don't have any idea how to achieve this. I thought about graphics (metapost) to draw a brace or join two cells and draw big brace. And, yes I use mkiv and latest beta (context minimal). -- Show your affection, which will probably meet with pleasant response.

\ldots
by Jan Pohanka 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hello, I discovered that with one font the \ldots command typesets three colons (:::). I found these lines in plain.tex \mathchardef\ldotp="613A % ldot as a punctuation mark \def\ldots{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}} saying the \ldots uses character on position 3A. In the font (type 1), there is really the semicolon on this position. How to make context to use proper character (\period), which is on position 2E in the font without changing this file? Or is it possible to use a special glyph for horizontal ellipsis with \ldots command? (It exists in the font) best regads Jan -- Ing.
