Error with some italic fonts: Parsing CFF DICT failed
by Robert-André Mauchin 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi, So I finally understand how to use my system fonts with Context (the --reload thing was not working), in order to use URW fonts, especially Nimbus Roman ones (I know there are TexGyre versions but that's not the point). * Here is my code : % engine=luatex \starttypescript [serif] [nimbus] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [n021003l] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [n021004l] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [n021023l] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [n021024l] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[basic][rm][serif][nimbus] \setupbodyfont[basic,12pt] \starttext blah blah blah \stoptext * When I compile this with Context, I get the following error : !LuaTeX error (file /usr/local/tex/texmf/fonts/data/default/Type1/n021023l.pfb): Parsing CFF DICT failed. (error=-3) ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! MTXrun | fatal error, return code: 70 It happens with other italic URW fonts, such as Palladio. * Googling a bit the error message, I found a similar error message but with Xetex (http://www.tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2008-March/009000.html ): >> OK, I think I have figured out what's wrong.

You are right, it is unclear > from the CFF spec whether an operator like StemSnapV should be > allowed with no operands; it doesn't really make any sense, but on > the other hand it should be harmless. * So I searched in the luatex code to find the culprit, source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/font/writecff.c, where you might include a similar hack as in xdvipdfmx (http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xdvipdfmx/TRUNK/src/cff_dict.c?view=markup ) Thanks

compiling module documentation
by Henning Hraban Ramm 19 May '09

19 May '09

What's the current way to compile a module's documentation with the latest beta MkIV? Neither texexec --luatex --module t-lilypond.tex nor context --module t-lilypond.tex works. Seems like "context" ignores "--module" completely, while "texexec" utters: sh: /Users/hraban/texmf/tex/texmf-context/ctxtools: No such file or directory sh: line 1: --document: command not found Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Re: [NTG-context] header at page bottom example
by Jos van Gisbergen 19 May '09

19 May '09

Hi, Here's an example of a ConTeXt file where a header occurs at page bottom. The subsection named "Perl snippet" occurs at the bottom of page 2, followed by framed text on page 3. It would be much nicer if the header would be written on page 3. Note: I extracted this example from a real-life text; for some reason the frames in the example are drawn wrongly, but this is beside the point. Run the example with texexec --pdf test.tex These are the outputs of pdfetex --version and texexec --version on my system (Fedora Core 6): texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2009.1.26 mes: english pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) kpathsea version 3.5.4 Thanks in advance, Jos ________________________________ From: "ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl" <ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl> To: ntg-context(a)ntg.nl Sent: Monday, May 18, 2009 2:55:18 PM Subject: ntg-context Digest, Vol 59, Issue 99 Send ntg-context mailing list submissions to ntg-context(a)ntg.nl To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl You can reach the person managing the list at ntg-context-owner(a)ntg.nl When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ntg-context digest..."

Great! This is somewhat what I suspected (columns mechanism is the older one). Is there good reason to keep both mechanisms? That is, does the startcolumns mechanism have advantages?

May I suggest that \startitemize[columns] internally use such a mechanism, perhaps when under a columns or columnset environment. Of course, this may be a bit tricky according to the following remark: > (in a few cases streamlayer are necessary, e.g. within framedtext) Indeed!

replacing words by underlines

Hi, In the underneath example, how do you get each word replaced by an underline ? Or, if not possible, underlined word groups with correct underline breaks for multi-line phrases. \def\UnderlineA#1% {\underbars{#1}} \def\UnderlineB#1% {\underbars{\phantom{#1}}} %{\underbar{\phantom{#1}}} \definetextbackground[underline][% location=text, alternative=1, background=, frame=off] \def\UnderlineC{% \groupedcommand {\starttextbackground[underline]} {\stoptextbackground}} \starttext Thus, I came to \UnderlineA{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineA{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. Thus, I came to \UnderlineB{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineB{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. Thus, I came to \UnderlineC{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineC{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. \stoptext Thanks, Alan

formula-style alignment
by afsmith 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hey again, ntg-context. I would like to align one piece of a line to the left, and another piece of the same line to the right, sort of like numbered math equations, except not math. Additionally I would like to do this inside a narrowed block How can I do this? I have tried side-by-side-frames-inside-a-frame but the two pieces of the line just stay clumped together. I have tried '\startalign' and '\(left|right)aligned' to no avail. I have tried '\hfill' but that pushes things past into/past the right margin...

Re: [NTG-context] how to prevent header at page bottom
by Jos van Gisbergen 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi Aditya, Your solution works for normal text following the header. But if I have a framed text with a background, which also has a "before={\testpage[3]}" (\definetextbackground[FramedText][ ...,before={\testpage[3]},...]) and the section starts with such a framed text, it can still go wrong. And I guess it can also go wrong if a section starts with a figure. Is there some way to specify that if less than a certain number of items (lines of text, frames, figures etc.) fit on the remainder of the current page, the next page should be taken?

I've been using ConTeXt for at least five years now, but I've never touched TeX (nor LaTeX nor any others, just ConTeXt). I've got a vague idea what it is about and that's it. Some points though: - background in something else than WYSIWYG editing (What You See Is What You Get = Word, for example) helps a lot. Before I started with ConTeXt I'd already done my share of html and I've learned to do structured documents also in word processing (i.e. "mark it heading 1" instead of "make that big and black). - I do ConTeXt pretty much with the "learn-as-you-go" philosophy and when I really have to learn something, I'm pretty determined; most of my ConTeXt usage is at work and if something needs to be done, it has to get done and I can't back off if it seems difficult first. (It took me two days, lot of swearing and a few questions on this mailing list to achieve my first ConTeXt doc in Cyrillic, but I did it in the end. Now it is of course as easy as can be...) - depends on the operationg system and user's backgrouns, too. Those who've used linux/mainframe are probably less likely to be upset by ConTeXt while your average Mac/Windows user may go crazy at the steep start of the learning curve; I'd done some unix and that definitely increased my tolerance. There are days when I swear and yell and curse myself for going over from Word to ConTeXt. But on 9 days out of 10 I pat myself on the back for making the switch. Especially on those styles when MS Word defies all of my attempts to keep a document structurally styled...

mtxrun problem "HEXsum"
by Henning Hraban Ramm 16 May '09

16 May '09

(Sorry for double-posting, but my first message didn't show up yet, maybe it's lost. This one is corrected anyway.) As far as I skimmed the discussions of the last days, this didn't show up yet: In my LilyPond module I call the program like so: \def\LP{mtxrun --ifchanged="\lily!filename.tmp" --exec bin:lilypond - dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts -ddelete- intermediate-files "\lily!filename.tmp"} \def\PDF{mtxrun --ifchanged="\lily!filename.eps" pstopdf "\lily! filename.eps"} \executesystemcommand{\LP} \executesystemcommand{\PDF} The former definition results in this call: mtxrun --ifchanged="c_whatshallwedo-lilypond-1.tmp" --exec bin:lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts - ddelete-intermediate-files "c_whatshallwedo-lilypond-1.tmp" The .tmp file exists and contains the right LilyPond code. But I get an error like this from the LP call: ############################################## .../texmf/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin/mtxrun:1953: attempt to call field 'HEXsum' (a nil value) ############################################## Line 1953 is: return md5.HEXsum(data) Looks like a bug in mtxrun to me. Lua MD5 docs at http://www.keplerproject.org/md5/manual.html#lua_api say, there'd be only "sum" and "sumhexa" methods. Replacing "HEXsum" with "sum" works (.md5 files are written), "sumhexa" gives the same error as above. But it seems LilyPond is called now every time, ignoring the checksum, so simply "sum" at that one place isn't enough. Further, the PDF call gives: MTXrun | file 'c_whatshallwedo-lilypond-1.eps' is unchanged Even if the .eps file doesn't exist at all. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Hi Taco, I searched in mailing list and found that you had been considering using risx as the internal bib format? Did you do it in t-bib? And as I understand, you are writing a new bib module with Lua. What will the internal format of the new bib module be? I'm using RefDB, whose internal bib format is ris, and am thinking about combining RefDB with ConTeXt. Best wishes, Wei-Wei

mptopdf does not work with filenametemplate
by Nicola 16 May '09

16 May '09

Given the following source file foo.mp: beginfig(0); filenametemplate "foo.eps"; endfig; end; running 'mptopdf foo.mp' results in: MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : no filename matches foo (because it is looking for foo.0, of course). I've read that 'filenametemplate' is going to be deprecated in favor of 'outputtemplate': will mptopdf be compatible with that command? Or is mptopdf also going to be replaced by something else (sorry, I'm not following the recent developments very closely)? Nicola

Font features switching

Hello, I'm still curious about using font features. For example, I want to have one typescript with slashed zero, and another with normal one.

In the luatex case, the fonts are internally converted to the newer 'Type 1 CFF' font format, which is much more compact than 'oldfashioned' Type 1. IIRC, dvipdfmx uses 'Type 1C' (1byte CFF), so that should also be smaller than pdftex. Best wishes, Taco

Dear TeX user, The upcoming EuroTeX 2009 takes place from August 31 till September 4 in Den Haag in The Netherlands. In parallel we will run the third ConTeXt conference. We already have some 25 talks and tutorials submitted but we need a few more as we run a parallel program. If you are willing to present a paper or tutorial, please let us know. The theme of the conference is "Educational Uses of TeX" but of course other TeX and MetaPost related topics will be covered as well. Depending on the amount of contributions we will program them in blocks that cover general topics but we will also cluster talks and turorials specific to macro packages in an additional program. You can send your proposal(s) to eurotex(a)ntg.nl. Registration for the conference closes at July 1, 2009.

MKIV, fonts, confusion
by afsmith 15 May '09

15 May '09

Hi ntg-context. I'm very confused about accomplishing something that to me seems as though it should be quite simple, but has proven for weeks of occasional attempts to be very confusing. I'm finding existing information from the contextgarden wiki and ntg-context archives to be very newbie-unfriendly and inconsistent. I'm compelled to improve the wiki, if only I could comprehend what I would be documenting. What I would like to do is use the full range of TeX-Gyre fonts (and later possibly others) for my existing documents. It is not clear to me... Whether or not I am using MKIV, nor how to determine which engine I am running. If not running MKIV/XeTeX, how to determine which fonts are installed. What the items from the output of "fc-list" or "mtxrun --script fonts --list" correspond to. How to use available fonts, nor where to draw valid parameters from for use in font commands. How to determine what font configurations are available for a given font. Whether I need to write typescripts, nor how to find any existing ones. Whether I need to concern myself with .map or any other font files. Whether I need to configure anything, move any files, etcetera. ...As well as anything else I might need to install or use a font For what it's worth, I have been using the command "texexec" to process my tex files, am using a context minimals downloaded about two months ago, and am running Linux.

The attached example code (with overprinting) breaks with the mentioned error. The attached picture shows the problem with the separated footnote marker. It can be created with the other versions (without overprinting) of the \NoteNumber and \MyFootnote macros. Best wishes, Peter \def\NoteNumber#1{\hbox to 15pt{\hfill\black \dostartoverprint#1\dostopoverprint}} %\def\NoteNumber#1{\hbox to 15pt{\hfill\black #1}} \setupfootnotes [bodyfont=6pt, textcolor=black, before=,after=, rule=off, numberconversion={set 2}, % distance=-2em, margindistance=-2em, numbercommand=\NoteNumber] \def\MyFootnote#1{\footnote{\hskip3em \dostartoverprint#1\dostopoverprint}} %\def\MyFootnote#1{\footnote{\hskip3em #1}} \starttext \startlocalfootnotes \vbox\bgroup\hsize=78mm\dontcomplain \startitemize[4] \item die Ausgabe erfolgt als PDF/X-4p\MyFootnote{ISO 15930-7:2008} \stopitemize \egroup \stoplocalfootnotes % footnote marker is not moved! \moveright70mm\hbox{\placelocalfootnotes} \stoptext

Hi, I would write a french & german intro-source for (quasi absolute) newcomers which need to have a working system producing PDF texts. But I know nothing about ConTeXt. therefor I cant do anything without your help. A first series of question: -. For a newcommer, is Mk II the best choice ? -. Is it necessary to know TeX ? or Is ConTeXt (CTX) compatible with TeX ? I wish to alternate french & german texts (so they can be translated in other languages). rb "" Wanderer, kommst du nach LuaTeX, dann hoff nicht zuviel, sonst hast du PeX """ ;-)

beta: figure boundingbox
by Peter Rolf 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi, while comparing the PDF of mkii and mkiv I noticed a slight differ in the boundingboxes (bb) of MP figures. While all mkii bb have the form [0 0 w h], the mkiv counterparts use [-1 -1 w+1 h+1]. So the bb of mkiv is enlarged 1bp in all directions. Is this intended? Minimal example and PDF attached. (ConTeXt 2009-04-06; luatex0.37; pdftex1.40.9; mpost1.102) Best wishes, Peter \pdfcompresslevel0 \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \startuniqueMPgraphic{foo} fill unitsquare xyscaled(2in,1in); \stopuniqueMPgraphic \starttext \null \useMPgraphic{foo} \stoptext

bugs in beta
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi Hans, so you're back from Bachotek and ready to attack the bugs? The beta you uploaded today is still badly broken. Most of this has been reported before; I just collect it here for your convenience :-) 1. The most urgent bug: The beta still fails to generate the files luatex-cache/context/XXX/names.tma and names.tmc. Which means only Latin Modern works, all other fonts fail. I get this both on OS X and linux; I have to use an older version to produce these files and copy them over. Once that is done, fonts work normally. 2. The new structure code doesn't expand xmlflushes in sections. Here's an example: \startbuffer[xmltest] <section> <title>First section</title> <content>Hello world</content> </section> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{section|content|title}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups} \startxmlsetups xml:section \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:content \xmlflush{#1} \par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:title \section{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{xmltest}{} \stoptext 3. Section numbers in markings are duplicated. Example: \setuphead [section] [page=yes, style=normal] \setupuserpagenumber[state=start,way=bysection] \setupfootertexts[{\getmarking[sectionnumber]} – \userpagenumber] \starttext \section{One} \input tufte \page \input linden \section{Two} \input bryson \page \input davis \stoptext 4. The latest beta still does not work with the bib module (and yes, I am using the latest version t-bib-2009.04.27.zip). Here is a minimal file: \usemodule[bib] \startpublication[k=kasselpoeticedition,t=book, a={{Aristoteles}},y=1965, n=1046,s=Ari65] \author[]{}[]{}{Aristoteles} \pubyear{1965} \title{De arte poetica liber} \city{Oxford} \pubname{Oxford UP} \stoppublication \starttext Hello world! \nocite[kasselpoeticedition] \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stoptext On my big bibliography files, I get errors such as this: LuaTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier (name{6:fsstraub}) has been already used, duplicate ignored <to be read again> \egroup \thisisdestination ... \dostartthisislocation {#1} \dostopthisislocation \fi ... l.2 \thisisdestination{6:fsstraub} \dosetreference ...ls ",\nextinternalreference ) } \fi \fi <argument> ...ibrefprefix fsstraub]{\bibcounter }} \strut \dotypesetapublicat... \listtextcommand #1->\begstrut #1 \endstrut ... l.184 ...lications[criterium=cite,option=continue] but I have no idea if these problems are related. I have to deliver a paper tomorrow and am glad I kept an older version... All best Thomas

How to prevent header at page bottom
by Jos van Gisbergen 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi, I have defined my own header: \definehead[myhead][subsection] \setuphead[myhead][ page=no, number=no ] All works fine, except sometimes the head appears at page bottom and the text starts on the next page. How can I specify that if less than, say, 3 lines of text fit on the current page below the head, the head and text should start on the next page. Thanks in advance, Jos

bibmodule (again)
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi, I don't want to sound like a whiner, but I was just wondering if there's any chance of having the bib module fixed. I have a paper to write within the next three weeks, and if bib doesn't work, I will have to use something else than ConTeXt. My problem is that numbered references do not produce any output. I attach a minimal example that gives the expected output in an older version of ConTeXt yet produces an empty citation in the most recent beta with the most recent bib module.

mplib logging

Hi, how do I enable (verbose) logging of mplib? I have problems with a corrupt pdf (the last paint form xobject is empty: .../Fm6 Do Q endstream endobj). No errors or warnings in the ConTeXt log (actual? beta). The same code works with mkii. No minimal example yet. Peter

The ultimate (?) float problem
by Piotr Kopszak 14 May '09

14 May '09

Dear all, I am close to give up, but maybe there is a solution... I have a book to typeset literally peppered with hundreds of little drawings which are supposed to appear irregularly surrounded by text flowing around them on all sides. -------------------------------- |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | |xxxxx-----xxxxxxxxxxxxxx| |xxxxx| |xxxxxx----xxxx | |xxxxx|__|xxxxxx| |xxxx| |xxxxxxxxxxxxxx |__|xxxx| |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx| -------------------------------- I naively imagine that should not be that hard to implement ;) Since we already have overlays it's no problem to place images in arbitrary places. It only remains to drill white holes in the text to make room for them. What about such procedure: 1. While building the line TeX checks if there is any overlay ahead. 2 if so, it puts empty hbox of the overlay width when it reaches necessary distance from the edge. 3. and does so for the number of lines which equal overlay height. Of course that leaves aside the problem of justification and without justification such page would probably look very ugly (I dare not to think if hz optimization, which I really got used to, would still work). Is there still hope I could stay with ConTeXt this time as well? Many thanks for any ideas in advance Piotr -- http://okle.pl

\inmargin followed by \startlines = alignment fault?
by Corsair 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi guys, I find that the `lines' environment (or description, itemize, etc.) after text in margin does not align right. Consider the following code: \starttext \inmargin{What I want} First line \crlf Second line \vskip 1cm \inmargin{What it renders} \startlines First line Second line \stoplines \stoptext The \crlf approach is the effect I want while the `lines' approach fails to do it. So is it a feature or a bug? Or I understand something totally wrong? I know I can put the \inmargin in the `lines' environment, but this time I really need it outside. Thanks.

Dear all, I didn't use ConTeXt for some time and, so, have just re-installed the minimals tonight. When running on some of my files, Mark II does its job well but Mark IV tells me error: Invalid field id nucleus for node type choice (0) . l.133 ... M décrit l'axe $({\rm O};\vect{e_{x}})$ avec une vitesse $\dot{x}... I have absolutely no idea what it is trying to say to me... If related, the macro is defined by \def\vect#1{% \overrightarrow{#1} } Regards, -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way."

Custom refcommand for bibtex
by Andreas Schneider 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi, I've little problem concerning the bib module. My university demands a certain style for external references. It seems to be no problem to define a custom style for the publication list but I can't seem to find any way to define a custom citation style. To be more precise: they want a footnote with certain informations about the citation ... at least author(s), year(s), title and if specified the references page. Is there maybe some (easy) way to define a custom refcommand? Then the footnote could be inserted by doing the \cite within a \footnote. Thanks in advance! Andreas Schneider.
