Problem with \c{a}
by Mikael Persson 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Dear list, I cannot get \c{a} to work in mkiv. Small test file: \starttext \c{c} % works both in mkii and mkiv \c{a} % works only in mkii (in mkiv I get nothing) \stoptext Is there a fix for this? I would not like to use the unicode char directly in the file (because I have this inside a bib-entry and I'd like to keep the bib file without such constructions.) Best regards, Mikael

More on Adobe Multiple Master fonts (not quite dead yet:-)
by Graham Douglas 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Dear Hans + Taco I have a question about "Minion Expert" fonts. I do have a copy of Idris's paper on this very topic but I'm not sure if this is still the way to install fonts via MKIV/LuaTeX. I'll give some background on what I'm doing, so my apologies to the list for the long post. [Note: happy to write this up in full for the Wiki at some point if of more general interest] I have been able to create hundreds of Minion instances and (with the excption of "Expert") successfully install them in Context --- works really very well. I have tested the PDF output with 500+ separate instances embedded, all seem to work perfectly --- provided the mmpfb settings are right. The resulting instances/fonts (.afm, .pfb) are output directly into the Context tree with names like MinionRegularRoman_wt525_wd600_op20.[afm|pfb] Generally the names are formed as follows: Minion[Variety][Angle]_wt[num]_wd[num]_op[num] Variety = one of Expert,Regular,Smallcaps Angle = one of Roman,Italic After refreshing the font lists/file name databases all instances can all be accessed through commands like this \definedfont[MinionRegularRoman_wt450_wd600_op10 at 12pt] --- I intend to write a typescript to set them up properly but these are early days for me with Context. I'm hoping that the above font naming convention will allow me to write a quite flexible set of typescripts... eventually. The only one that does not work is the Expert font (no surprise I guess) As mentioned, my scripts output the fonts directly into the Context tree, for Regular,Smallcaps varieties that's all I have to do. Wonderful! So, to the "Expert" variety... Clearly, this font has a "non standard" encoding vector which is causing the problm (I guess). The AFM records EncodingScheme FontSpecific If I install instances like MinionExpertRoman_wt350_wd450_op10.afm then run the minimal example \starttext \definedfont[MinionExpertRoman_wt500_wd450_op10 at 12pt] This is an interesting test. 1234567890. filling, fill. ABCDEF. \stoptext When I run this for the firt time I get !load afm : reading c:/Context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/afm/minion/MinionExpertRoman/MinionExpertRoman_wt500_wd450_op10.afm !load afm : unifying c:/Context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/afm/minion/MinionExpertRoman/MinionExpertRoman_wt500_wd450_op10.afm !afm glyph : assigning private slot U+F0000 for unknown glyph name Acutesmall !afm glyph : assigning private slot U+F0001 for unknown glyph name nineoldstyle <snip> The resulting PDF is blank, apart from the dot and commas in the sample text "This is an interesting test. 1234567890. filling, fill. ABCDEF." So, finally to my question: what additional work do I need to do to fully integrate the Expert fonts to access some of the nice features of these fonts? Warm wishes Graham =======

Table of contents
by Alain Delmotte 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

Hi! I have two question about table of contents. 1) is it possible to have the toc at the end of the document. I tried to place \placecontent or \completecontent at the end and it didn't work; I only managed to have the toc at the beginning of the document. 2) If I define my own header (like in ConTeXt an excursion: 5. Headers) and so, for example, replacing \section by \myheader, which has a section level, the table of content is empty! If the information is in another document, please give me a pointer, thanks!

stripping space from xml nodes
by Hans van der Meer 21 Mar '10

21 Mar '10

In order to have (1) <abc>text</abc> behave the same as (2) <abc> text </abc> one can use \xmlstripped{node}{lpath}. However, the drawback is that I found there is no further node expansion of inner content. For example \xmlstripped with <abc>text <somenode/> text</abc> returned "text <somenode/> text". I have already reported earlier that I could not see \xmlstrip{node} {lpath} work as I understood it. That is, it seems to me that in: \startxmlsetups xml:abc \xmlstrip{#1}{} \stopxmlsetups this would strip the spaces from (2) above. It didn't do that, while I also tried of course \xmlstrip in the node enclosing <abc>, also to no avail. As a work around one finds: \startxmlsetups xml:abc \ignorespaces % removes spurious space before \xmltext{#1}{} \unskip % removes spurious space after \stopxmlsetups but it is the sort of a kludge I do not feel happy about, apart from the fact that either this has to be put everywhere or another macro layer put around all \xml's suffering. This boils down to two questions: (1) how about \xmlstrip? (2) is the observed behaviour of \xmlstripped (not expanding nodes below) as it should? As Hans Hagen mentioned before he would have I look into it, I kindly ask if he already has found time for this. Hans van der Meer

Different behaviour

Suppressing *after* point 3 or point 5 also gives an error. In fact, it looks like there should be an empty line after the \remark or \subremark, but not for the first group! (NB. I did add the line number to avoid misunderstanding going from a Windows CRLF to other CR or LF) Alain

Adobe Multiple Master Fonts: support in LuaTeX?
by Graham Douglas 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi All A few (ie > 10) years ago I purchased the MinionMM and MyriadMM Multiple Master typefaces from the long-defunct Adobe Type on Call. I have the full set including the expert fonts. They were really quite expensive so I would really like to find out if they are (or will be) supported by LuaTeX. Having installed FontForge (FF) on my PC I note that FF certainly supports them. So, I was wondering if MM technolgy, even though it is kinda obsolete, is or will be supported? For sure, you can certainly create individual instances via Akira's port (thank you Akira) of the LCDF Typetools (specifically mmafm, mmpfb) http://www.lcdf.org/type/index.html I've tried this and the resulting PFB/AFM files definitely work with Context --- even got my first very simple typescript to work :-) I would be very interested to know the current support, or planned support, for being able to create "multiple master instances" on the fly. For sure, I appreciate that MM support may just not be worth the effort because the technology is "old" and few people are interested in this? Or it may be that it's too much work to create and then install instances on the fly. But the fonts are nice... and cost a lot :-( Warm regards Graham

Using external libraries in LuaTeX
by Graham Douglas 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Dear All In a the recent Luatex 0.46.0 announcement http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2009-November/001118.html experimental support for loading external libraries was reported. I am running Windows Vista with ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.12 19:49 MKIV fmt: 2010.3.16 int: english/english with LuaTeX, Version beta-0.51.0-2010031309 (rev 3479) I have also downloaded Lua 5.1 from http://luaforwindows.luaforge.net/ and so have Lua5.1.dll installed. This distribution has a number of interesting extenal libraries (ie DLLs) that I would like to try out with LuaTeX. If I can make progress I would be happy to document and write-up my experiments for posting on the Wiki in case they may be of interest to others. I should say that my coding skills are somewhat rusty as I've been away from programming/TeX for a few years... so do please excuse my "simplistic" questions :-) So, I was wondering if anyone has a minimal example they would be kind enough to share, or can give me a few pointers/guidelines so that I can start experimenting. In particular, I'm interested to call external libraries and inject the output from an external library into TeX for typesetting. For example, is it possible to load a library once, keep it loaded and access the library functions from different commands during the TeX run? In outline... --- run some code to load the library (initialisation) --- keeping the library available --- some commands\definitions to accss library functions eg \calltolibrary{....) --- make callsto library and pass the output into TeX for typesetting I would be very grateful for any guidance/help that can be offered. Warm wishes to all Graham

By the way, XeTeX also breaks, but in a different way. "Računalne mreže" becomes "RaÄ“unalne mreÅ¾e". Same option also doesn't do anything. MkIV works nicely, and I know I should probably be using that, but LaTeX with hyperref can do unicode bookmarks in both XeTeX and pdfTeX, so it would be really cool if ConTeXt would be able to do it as well.

Vim module errors

I can't find file `texweb-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp'. <to be read again> Looks like the filename munging has some issues.

You can't use `macro parameter character #' in horizontal mode. l.1 # include <stdio.h> I have vim installed and accessible on the path, and do have the C syntax.

Wolfgang Schuster: > \setupbodyfont[pagella] > > \definefontfeature[smcp][smcp=yes] > \definefontfeature[frac][frac=yes] > > \setuphead[chapter][textstyle=\addfs{frac}\addfs{smcp}] ... This is just an example, but what I think you mean to say by it is that the new command \addfs{} has the behavior I describe, but only for otf features and not for things like switching to semibold or to condensed (and, presumably, even if I'm able to define my own commands for things like semibold, something like: \sb ABC \it DEF would set the DEF at regular weight). Since I've never seen anyone talk about \addfs{}, but only give examples, I'm guessing (but just guessing) that there exists somewhere a list of what otf features are active at any given point, and that this command can add to that list. That's great. I might not need it anytime soon, but I'm just curious---are there other commands of this kind? Maybe something to clear the list? That leaves me the problem of installing sets with more than two weights, more than one width and several design sizes, as we spoke about earlier. It's late in the day here, but I hope to try that out tomorrow. Just to make sure I understand the example you and Mojca gave me: > \definebodyfont [default] [rm] > [tf=Serif sa 1, > bf=SerifBold sa 1, > it=SerifItalic sa 1, > sl=SerifSlanted sa 1, > bi=SerifBoldItalic sa 1, > bs=SerifBoldSlanted sa 1, > sc=SerifCaps sa 1] > > You could add your > in=SerifYourFontVariantName sa 1, > bd=SerifYourOtherFontVariantName sa 1, I think I can add this block to the top of my own typescript, duplicate the existing definitions as shown, and, when making up my own, I think I'm free to define font switches with more than two characters, so, e.g.: sbexit=SansSemiboldExtendedItalic sa 1 so, I won't be able to switch variants of this kind independently, but at least I can get them installed. After that, I'll move on to the optical examples and see what I can do about that (I'm hoping they provide for automatic switching of design size). Thank you, -- m

Wolfgang Schuster: > do you need all of your fonts at the same time in your document? Most of the time, one serif and one sans. I'd be happy to get these installed. Of course, High quality fonts often come in large sets. The varying weights turn up most often in the variations between different kinds of heads, occasionally in other things. Variations in optical size occur more frequently, besides in heads, in things like quotations, footnotes, and captions. Smallcaps (and sometimes, all-caps environments) often turn up in headers. It's nice to be able to switch easily between roman/italic and other things within environments like that---it's very nice if things like shape, weight and so on can be switched independently. It's also very nice if optical design sizes switch automatically with the current size. Consider, for example, something like this: a book on film with a header: "Fellini's Roma and 8 1/2". I'm used to setting something like this in this way: Fellini's \it{Roma} and \it{\cvfrac{8}{1}{2}} (where \cvfrac{}{}{} is a macro that gives me a compound vulgar fraction). The header is itself in smallcaps, so what comes out is: Fellini's <small caps> Roma <italic small caps> and <small caps> 8 <italic proportional lining> (italic and lining (i.e., uppercase) because it's a title) 1/2 <italic numerator><italic><italic denominator> all with minimal effort on the part of the writer. It seems natural that way. > Do you plan to switch between oldstyle and lining figures each sentence? I've certainly done that before, with lining for quantities and oldstyle for everything else (mostly chapter and page numbers). Of course, other sorts of numerals turn up a lot too---the numerator and denominator variants for fractions, the superiors for footnotemarks and ordinals, and occasionally inferiors as well. > Do you need condensed and regular width together in the running text > or do you want one in the text and the other in the header? The different widths of my sans is one thing I hadn't counted on using much (I spend more time in serif) but, since I have the fonts, I thought it would be nice to be able to use them. More than the specific uses I've mentioned above, I'm used to the freedom of being able to use what I have when the need arises. > ConTeXt is not a DTP program and has a completely different concept. I'm aware of that. I've been using LaTeX for fifteen years now. I keep hearing about Context and the work with Luatex and I want to try it out to see whether I can get higher quality. Loading and switching fonts is just the first hurdle. If it's too difficult to do this in Context, that's okay. I realize that it's a work in progress and these things may be improved someday. I just want to get as much working as I can right now so I can try out more things. I have two fonts to install. I've been at it for two weeks. I realize it might take a few more weeks and a lot of work. I know it's not as easy as dropping them in a folder. That's okay. I'll keep at it. > Before we can give you better answers think about what do want > to achieve and where do you need a certain font feature and style, > when you have a clear picture about this ty to describe it and we > try to help you.

Thank you both. I want to begin experimenting with this, but there's one thing that still confuses me. If I have a font with say, forty different combinations of weight/width/shape (5x4x2), I will need to come up with forty different pairs like: myNewFontSwitch=SerifMyFontVariantName sa 1, a strain on the poetic imagination, but possible. It would be nicer though, if I could change weight/width/shape independently of each other (then I need have only 5+4+2 switches). For example, when I see something like: \rm\tf roman \it italic \bf bold resulting in: <book roman> <book italic> <bold roman>, it's surprising to see that \bf has turned off the italic---you don't expect a switch of the weight to have a hidden switch of the shape in it. Could the typescript be set up with fewer switches, so that: \rm\tf roman \it italic \bf bold would result in: <book roman> <book italic> <bold italic>, or, e.g., \rm\tf (regular book roman) \cd (condensed) \it (italic) \bf (bold) would result in: <regular book roman> <condensed book roman> <condensed book italic> <condensed bold italic>? (Also, I'm hoping that having a dozen different sets of font features won't require twelve times as many switches and feature names as this. I think there is some easier method for switching---Hans mentioned \addff{}, but I can't find anything in the docs. If that works, that would make two kinds of switches, one for some kinds of features and another for other kinds.)

xml TeX expansion?

Typesetting material containing macro's from inside a xml-node does not give TeX-ed results.

Dear list, I'd love to provide a minimal example but before I figure out how to do that a short question: I'm using the same font in the body text and registers: Jannon Text, tex ligatures via fontfeatures work in the body text but not in registers in page scopes. Any ideas? Piotr -- http://okle.pl

typescripts
by Michael Saunders 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

I have been earnestly trying to understand how they work by attempting a slightly more complex one. So far, I have: ------------------------------------------------------- \definefontfeature[default][mode=node,language=dflt,script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes] \definefontfeature[body][onum=yes,pnum=yes,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]%turn hz on %plus some I hope to use later \definefontfeature[tabular][sans=yes,tnum=yes,onum=yes]%turn hz off \definefontfeature[allcaps][cpsp=yes,case=yes,lnum=yes] \definefontfeature[smallcaps][smcp, onum=yes] \definefontfeature[swashes][swsh=yes] \definefontfeature[inferior][sinf=yes] \definefontfeature[superior][sups, ordn=yes] \definefontfeature[numerator][numr=yes] \definefontfeature[denominator][dnom=yes] \definefontfeature[prop-os][pnum=yes,onum=yes] \definefontfeature[prop-lin][pnum=yes,lnum=yes] \definefontfeature[tab-os][tnum=yes,onum=yes] \definefontfeature[tab-lin][tnum=yes,lnum=yes] \definefontfeature[ornaments][ornm=yes] \definefontfeature[lgc][script=latn,script=grek,script=cyrl] \starttypescript [serif] [junicode] \definefontsynonym[Junicode][name:junicode][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[Junicode-Bold][name:junicodebold][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[Junicode-Italic][name:junicodeitalic][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[Junicode-BoldItalic][name:junicodebolditalic][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [junicode] \definefontsynonym[Serif][Junicode][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold][Junicode-Bold][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic][Junicode-Italic][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][Junicode-BoldItalic][features=default,features=body,features=lgc] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [junicode] \definetypeface [junicode] [rm] [serif] [junicode] [default] [features=default,features=body,features=lgc,features=hanging,features=hz] \stoptypescript \setupalign[hanging,hz] \setupbodyfont[junicode,12pt] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- but, 1. tlig and trep aren't working, so evidently, features=default isn't getting through. No hanging or hz is happening either---probably the same problem. 2. As far as I can tell from trying to decode examples, there is some hidden connection between the first arguments of the second typescript block and the font switches. So, for example, a secret connection between SerifBoldItalic and \bi seems to connect Junicode-BoldItalic to \bi. Fine, but, in all the examples I've seen, there are no more than two weights and no widths. In some cases, I have five weights (light, book, medium, semi-bold, bold). How do I set up the typescript for this and the switches in the text? Must I learn more pairs like (SerifBoldItalic, \bi)?

After rotation, interaction does no longer work
by berend＠pobox.com 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Hi All, I've a document that is typeset in A5, and then arranged with 2SIDE. Interaction is enabled. Everything works, I can click on registers and table of contents to jump to the particular piece. However, if I add "rotated": \setuparranging [2SIDE,rotated] interaction appears to be disabled. Can this be enabled again? The following test document demonstrates the effect. The links in the table of content are still blue, not no longer clickable. Remove rotated, and it works: -------------------------------------------------- % interface=en \setuppapersize [A5][A4] \setuparranging [2SIDE,rotated] \setupinteraction [state=start, color=blue] \setupcolors [state=start] \starttext \subject{Table of contents} \placecontent[1] \chapter{Hello} World. \chapter{More} Text. \stoptext -------------------------------------------------- Process with "texexec --arrange" -- Thanks, Berend de Boer

I have tried this in a fresh scite installation uncommenting this in the global propertie file. But it doesn't work. File->Encoding is Code Page Property. And my files are saved in Ansi. I do not want look every time if I have saved with the proper encoding. I do not want files with ansi and files in utf mixed.

xml with interaction fails in footnotes
by Philipp Gesang 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Good evening all, I'm experiencing a weird behaviour when using my module to transliterate stuff in a footnote. ConTeXt fails with an undefined control sequence if an only if I switch on interaction. The issue vanishes when I removing either the footnote environment or the interaction or the transliteration or the tag with the text to be transliterated. In the following minimal example I specified the lines that will make context process the file when commented out. Please note that everything works fine outside xml as the transliteration immediately after “\starttext” demonstrates.

xmlindex getting attributes and more
by Hans van der Meer 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

(1) How does one retrieve an attribute from an element collected with \xmlindex{node{lpath}{n}? (2) I don't understand in xml:test \xmlcount{#1}{} giving 1 for an answer, whereas \xmlcount{#1}{*} and \xmlcount{#1}{/abc} yield 2 as is expected. (3) With the code below \xmlindex starts looping on an empty lpath, whereas like \xmltext{} react without problem. Problem is showed by \xmlindex, \xmlfirst, \xmllast, \xmlall, \xmlconcat Behaviour is not shown by \xmltext{node}{}, \xmlstripped, \xmlstrip Is this a bug in \xmlindex's underlying lua? !

mkiv and unicode
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hallo, I work all the time with good old mkii-context, but I have had a lot of problems last time, which could be solved easely if I switch to mkiv. So I wonder if I should change. The main argument for me to stay with mkii is the following: I have a lot of lua scripts withhin scite which are preprocessing my textfiles (string.gsub etc.) These scripts depent on ansi-code and do not work with unicode too. An other problem I have, is to teach scite to use utf-8 per default. (code.page=65001) does not work for me. I have tried this with a lot of versions of scite. Has anybody experiences with scite-lua-scripts and unicode? Wolfgang

I really need to remove the leading and trailing whitespace from nodes. Tried in vain to get \xmlstrip (and friends like \xmlstripnolines) working.
