Mojca, Well, I just finished installing gwtex, the newer version. It is in / usr/local/gwTeX. I am just finishing installing CM Super fonts. I'll then do Freetype, libwmf, and ImageMagick and ghostscript. Then I'll do the contextupdater. There's something about a preference pane but I haven't found that yet. At the moment, from my command line, I am finding the old tex. darnold $ which pdflatex /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex Advice welcome as I proceed.

GWTEX -- Uninstall before installing the new?
by David Arnold 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

All, GWTeX has some serious updates. Should I uninstall the deprecated tex before installing the new? Or can they both be installed at the same time (in case the new doesn't work well with my old files).

ConTeXt, hyphenation
by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

I've upgraded to the most recent version of ConTeXt now. I try to set Norwegian hyphenation by saying \language[no] \setuplanguage[no] however, as opposed to in the previous version, there are no hyphenations at all. I wonder if it is to do with the pattern file used – how do I set that? and how can I make sure that the correct patterns are used? -- Rolf Lindgren roffe(a)extern.uio.no

Thanks. I am now using section blocks to create meta-sections, so that inside the body-matter sections have no numbers whilst the appendices do. It works great. One minor problem though. I need the appendices to have labels, like: Appendix I, etc.. \setuplabeltext[appendix=Appendix] does not work in this situation what is the correct way of doing it? Thanks, Elliot

debian context updates
by Norbert Preining 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi all! I have uploadedanother repetition, this time with new package splitting: package context: all the normal stuff as before package context-nonfree currently only the cowfonts package context-doc-nonfree all the pdf documentation from below, plus style.pdf and details.pdf which Hans suggested. So the context package has changed as it now suggests both context-nonfree and context-doc-nonfree. The tarball for context-nonfree has changed, as it only contains the cowfonts. And context-doc-nonfree is new.

A couple of questions on heads.
by Elliot Clifton 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi, I'm still a relative newbie. I enjoy using ConTeXt and have achieved some great results with it, but some issues still trip me up. I'm typesetting a journal. I use \chapter to divide it into articles. I've defined my own heads, and I need to redefine \appendix, however despite reading the manual I cant get them behave as I want. Problems: 1. Each article may have appendices. I've tried defining my own 'appendix' head to replace the default one, but I can't decide which to use, should I derive from chapter or section? The problem with using section as the base, is that the count from my previous sections is inherited. I don't want numbers of the form 1.1, 1.2, etc, either. I want to number my appendices independently, starting from 1 without the chapter number. Also, I would like to use roman numerals. 2. I derived \Author from \section with expectation that \setupheadertexts[Papertitle][Author] would yield a header containing the author's name and the paper's title, however I get the title of the most recent section instead of the author. What can I do about this? thanks, Elliot

Manual (English) Update soon?
by Douglas Philips 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

Hello again, I've just recently tried to "get up to speed" on ConTeXt by reading what I could find on the web, including cont-eni.pdf (ConTeXt the manual by Hans Hagen, November 12th, 2001). Recent activity on this list, discussing the Debian packaging, says (and I commented on this a few days ago in another thread): "ConTeXt is developed rapidly, often in response to requests from the friendly user community." And so I am wondering if ConTeXt is still too fresh... and if I'll have any chance of figuring out what/how to use it without having been on this list for the past 4+ years... (IIRC, Hans is also a core team member of LuaTeX, so perhaps I should just suck it up with LaTeX until LuaTeX is viable?) Advice, comments, etc. appreciated... --Doug

ConTeXt upgrade blues
by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

OK, so the ConTeXt that comes with the TeX distribution I use (until eariler today, MacPorts, and as from later today, fink) is ancient. now, with good old LaTeX that's not much of a problem - just put the most recent release in the few relevant places in texmf-local, rebuild the formats, and off you go. with ConTeXt, that's, er, not so simple. the first attempt I made was to pull dowm the most recent version of the base files and then run sudo texmfstart ctxtools --update which seemingly worked, pulled the updates to texmf-local, and complied with no error messages. however, the new ConTeXt failed to compile documents, giving lots of error messages about undefined commands. texexec test.tex (which used to work) gives mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12' failed to make ec-lmr12.tfm. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. ! Font \*12ptrmtfrm*=ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` texexec test (which is in essence what the recommended shell script does) gives ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2006.12.30 int: english mes: english language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (/sw/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex !

macro \verticalchineseunicodeglyph may not satisfy the vertical Chinese typeset
by Zhichu Chen 30 Dec '06

30 Dec '06

Hi, ConTeXters I'm playing some Chinese vertical typesetting. Mr. Wolfgang Shuster helps me a lot about it. In vertical typesetting, the top of each leading Chinese characters at each column are aligned horizontally. But if we changed the size of the bodyfont of some characters and they could wrap to the next column, then the top of the wrapped texts are not aligned with the other columns. So we can give them a raise, but it is not so easy to calculate the dimension to be raised, for ConTeXt will give every Chinese a \strut and makes the original height and depth unavailable. Since we can aligned the \strut-ed characters precisely, the real characters are not. Can Hans or other TeXperts give me a nice solution? In fact, I think in vertical Chinese, we should move the baseline to the top of the character. and make it with height=0pt and depth=width -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

This is absolutely how it is supposed to look. I do not know what you want precisely, but apparently you are unhappy with the standard ConTeXt page layout.

(I doubt that I'll return to PSTricks now that I've learn metapost and now when TikZ is available and more portable, but it's nice to know that I may use my old code there and for some cases PSTricks are still an easier approach.) I knew that there was something about pstricks available, but I always had a feeling that it's only conditionally working (I never heard anyone talking about PSTricks on the mailing list). However: you're probably running the module with perl-based texexec, right? I just tried it and had the following problems: - filename-texapp.tex has been created (and can only be deleted manually), but instead of dvi it resulted in an empty pdf file - I processed that file manually, so I got the dvi, but then dvips failed - the second was probably "my fault" (dvips sent the result to lpr), but it's how it's set up on the system by default; using -Ppdf switch helped, although I have no idea why/how it works exactly So it would really help a lot: - if the intermediate file would result in .dvi, not in .pdf - if dvips would be called with -Ppdf or perhaps some other more appropriate switch to assure slightly more "works-out-of-the-box" cases (- if temporary files could be deleted with ctxtools if needed) It would also help a lot for tex4ht if the switch --dvi could work as intended (and without unneded dvips run afterwards). Mojca PS (in a joke): why didn't you tell me that before I wrote support for gnuplot ??? Gnuplot can already output PSTricks code which could be read by ConTeXt then.

Font for enumeration
by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren 30 Dec '06

30 Dec '06

consider the following setup: \startitemize[m] \item this \item that \item the other \stopitemize this should give enumeration using oldstyle numbers. now, I have created my own typescript file that sets everything to Sabon, except the oldstyle numbers in question, which are set using computer modern's oldstyle numbers. what do I do to get the base font here? I have set up my typescript file so that {\Var[osf] 123} are set using the base fonts oldstyle numbers. -- Rolf Lindgren roffe(a)extern.uio.no

Elevated text blocks
by Gerhard Kugler 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Hi, in the book which I'm translating there are many exercises which should be elevated. The original sets grey bars at the beginning and the end. My solutions tends to light grey background over the whole text block. Partially the exercises exceed a page. If possible they should kept as wholes. What is the suitable logical isolation of these blocks in context? Framedtexts? Textblocks? Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de

Jut FYI PSTricks (which runs on Plain TeX as well as LaTeX) can be run as part of Context. It requires loading a module and an extra pass.

The bad thing about Context is that many errors in parameters etc. are simply not reported when you compile a document. One of the many good things is that the elaborate structure is there but not required. Most plain TeX (the old stuff) documents will run under Context. Make a file with: Hello world \bye and run it through Context. It will work. But with LaTeX you must have a LaTeX specific statement or two or it won't work. > > and if I'll > > have any chance of figuring out what/how to use it without having > > been on this list for the past 4+ years... I store all messages on this list forever in a directory. It is more convenient for me to search that directory than on the wiki. My earliest is dated in April 2002.

spurious space in figurebase graphics
by Peter Rolf 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi all, even with the today's version I get a spurious space in front of every figurebase graphic. Can someone please confirm this. I have made a small test file (7zip,38k), but it's still too big for the list. So if you are interested, please mail me off list and I send you the file. Or you can change the attached tex code from the example, so that it fits your figurebase. Thanks in advance. BTW: Is there a way to upload some file to ConTeXt Live, so that things like this can be tested on 'neutral ground'?

I didn't consider it strange > until you pointed that to me. Here the .log file of the 'transliterated' That's "normal". The problems is that you didn't specify the proper encoding of your font, so TeX doesn't know that your font is cyrillic. \font\myfirstfont=t2a-n021003l \myfirstfont is a plain TeX command, you have to use a ConTeXt command for that. This is a way to go then: \starttypescript [map] [timescyr] [t2a] \loadmapfile [\typescriptthree-urw-timescyr.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [timescyr] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [...] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [timescyr] [t2a] \definefontsynonym [...] [\typescriptthree-progbot] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [t2a] \definetypeface [...] [rm] [serif] [timescyr] [default] [encoding=\typescripttwo] \stoptypescript That's only a rought sketch. If you don't get any further using the existing documentation and wiki, and if nobody else is willing to help, I can try to complete the definitions if you ask again, but someone is willing to do that instead ... I won't object. (Although I suspect that there is a shorter way to tell to TeX which encoding is being used for a specific font.) Mojca

Here the .log file of the 'transliterated' document: ConTeXt ver: 2006.07.14 12:08 fmt: 2006.12.25 int: english mes: english language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex color : palette rollover is available ) system : cont-old loaded (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\user\cont-sys.rme (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\type-exa.tex) (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\type-syn.tex) (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\type-enc.tex) (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\type-siz.tex) (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\type-map.tex) (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\type-spe.tex) (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\type-akb.tex)) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns en->ec:ec->1->2:3 uk->ec:ec->2->2:3 de->texnansi:tex nansi->3->2:3 de->ec:ec->4->2:3 fr->texnansi:texnansi->5->2:3 fr->ec:ec->6->2:3 es->ec:ec->7->2:3 pt->texnansi:texnansi->8->2:3 pt->ec:ec->9->2:3 it->texnansi :texnansi->10->2:3 it->ec:ec->11->2:3 nl->texnansi:texnansi->12->2:3 nl->ec:ec- >13->2:3 cz->il2:il2->14->2:3 cz->ec:ec->15->2:3 sk->il2:il2->16->2:3 sk->ec:ec ->17->2:3 pl->pl0:pl0->18->2:3 pl->ec:ec->19->2:3 pl->qx:qx->20->2:3 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded system : test7timescyr.top loaded (D:\~~\test7timescyr.top specials : loading definition file tpd (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\spec-tpd.tex specials : loading definition file fdf (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\spec-fdf.tex) specials : fdf loaded ) specials : fdf,tpd loaded ) systems : system commands are disabled encoding : coding cp1251 is loaded (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\regi-cp1251.tex) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\sort-def.tex) (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\sort-lan.tex) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) (D:\~~\test7timescyr.tuo) systems : begin file test7timescyr at line 14 fonts : resetting map file list fonts : using map file: lm-texnansi fonts : using map file: original-base fonts : using map file: ec-public-lm fonts : using map file: ec-base fonts : using map file: 8r-base fonts : using map file: t5-base fonts : using map file: original-ams-base fonts : using map file: original-ams-euler fonts : using map file: original-public-lm fonts : using map file: t2a-urw-timescyr (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\pdfr-ec.tex) [1.1{original-empty.map}{lm-texnansi.m ap}{original-base.map}{ec-public-lm.map}{ec-base.map}{8r-base.map}{t5-base.map} {original-ams-base.map}{original-ams-euler.map}{original-public-lm.map}{t2a-urw -timescyr.map}] systems : end file test7timescyr at line 26 system : cont-err loaded (E:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\cont-err.tex > User file 'cont-sys.tex' not found, 'cont-sys.rme' has been used instead. < ) ) Here is how much of TeX's memory you used: 1337 strings out of 57725 21657 string characters out of 577460 590834 words of memory out of 1079821 40050 multiletter control sequences out of 60000 76275 words of font info for 39 fonts, out of 1000000 for 2000 192 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191 51i,18n,51p,264b,540s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,10000p,200000b,32768s PDF statistics: 11 PDF objects out of 300000 0 named destinations out of 300000 5 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 10000 {t2a.enc}<E:/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/timescyr/n021003l.pfb>{lm-ec.enc}<E:/MiKT eX/fonts/type1/public/lm/lmr12.pfb> Output written on test7timescyr.pdf (1 page, 32893 bytes). -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav

Hi Vyatcheslav, (I intercepted your message because it was a bit too big for the list) From Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky <yatskovsky(a)gmail.com>: > > This is the INF file for my Times-Roman: > > FontName (Times-Roman) > FullName (Times Roman) > AppleName (Times) > AppleFONDID 20 > FamilyName (Times) > version (001.007) > isFixedPitch false > CharacterSet (isoadobe) > Encoding (StandardEncoding) > ItalicAngle 0 > CapHeight 662 > UnderlinePosition -100 > UnderlineThickness 50 > StemWidth 84 > Serif true > Pi false > SuperiorBaseline 270 > MSMenuName (Times) > VPMenuName (Times Roman) > WORDMenuName (Times) > VPTypefaceID 14 > VPStyle (N) > PCFileNamePrefix (TIR__) > PCLTypefaceID 20485 > PCLStrokeWeight 0 > PCLStyle 0 I am sorry to say that this really looks like the INF of the standard Times-Roman font that does not have cyrillic glyphs (and the same was true of your log file). Can you explain to the people on the list how you could successfully use cyrillic, what operating system you are using, and in which previewer exactly? I myself am lost as to what is going wrong exactly, but I find it hard to believe that the previewer is using tir_____.pfb, from the information you have provided so far. Best, Taco

ConTeXt on Debian: The wiki entry
by Frank Küster 26 Dec '06

26 Dec '06

Hi everybody, this mail has a double purpose. At the end, there's a call for testers of a new (planned) Debian ConTeXt package that would be updated more frequently than now (at least in unstable and testing), where ConTeXt is tied to teTeX's or TeXlive's release cycles. But first, I'd like to talk about http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation Are some of the people around who wrote this? I found some information in it misleading and in part just wrong (this has already been pointed out two weaks ago by "plink"), and have started to edit the page to change the parts that give us, the Debian TeX maintaines, most headache. But in the lower part, "Steps to finish a first context upgrade", I felt lost. If these steps are really needed, then there's something seriously wrong in Debian's (and probably upstream's) packaging of ConTeXt. Therefore I didn't just change the text to reflect how I think it should work. Instead, we should try to figure out together whether it in fact does not work as it should, and then fix the Debian packages (hopefully still possible for etch). So the specific question I have are: - Is it intended that context formats end up in $TEXMF/web2c/pdfetex/? If yes, why is that so? If not, we should rather find out why it happens and fix it. - Why does it make a difference if the formats are created by fmtutil instead of texexec (Except for the output directory)? Should the upstream packaging be changed so that fmtutil is never used, but texexec, or should fmtutil be fixed to produce the same as texexec? Finally, here comes Norbert Preining's Call for Testers: Dear all! We = Debian TeX maintainers searching for users of the Debian Operating Systems which are also using ConTeXt. Currently Debian etch (testing) and sid (unstable) contains packages for TeX live 2005. But this contains a bit old ConTeXt version, so users are asking us to update ConTeXt. We have prepared a updated ConTeXt package for Debian, based on the latest released version (2006.08.08), and would ask you to help use testing, as we are not experienced in ConTeXt type settings. I checked some simple documents from the ConTeXt Garden, and they worked, but more detailed testing would be nice. If you have interest, please contact us at debian-tex-maint(a)lists.debian.org or, if you have a bit experience, you can straight away add deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ context/ to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and install context. After this, please tell us our experiences/failures/suggestions. Thanks a lot and all the best Regards, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.

Spacing after defined word: beginner's question
by cormullion＠mac.com 25 Dec '06

25 Dec '06

This must be a beginner's question, but I can't find the answer to it in the manuals... Take this ConTeXt source: -- \def\Acme{% {\ss\sc ACME}} Welcome from \Acme. \Acme make fine products. -- When this is made into a PDF, it looks like this: -- Welcome from ACME. ACMEmake fine products. -- - because I didn't have a space in the definition, I don't get a space in the second sentence, but the period didn't interfere with the execution of the first occurrence. But if I put a space in the definition after the 'E', I get this: -- Welcome from ACME . ACME make fine products. -- - and there's a space after the first 'E', which I don't want, even though there is now a space after the second... What am I doing wrong?

Installing Cyrillic font
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 25 Dec '06

25 Dec '06

Hello I'm looking for help with installing the Adobe Times font with Cyrillic support. I have TIR_____.PFB and all other companion files. It surely contains Cyrillic glyphs because I can type Russian using a font viewer. I run the texfont utility as follows texfont -fontroot=e:/texmf --sourcepath=. --vendor=adobe --encoding=t2a --collection=timescyr --makepath --install and it performs good. But created t2a-adobe-timescyr.pdf test file shows no Cyrillic glyphs (it seems like there are vacant empty spaces from 192 to 255). Also I cannot make use of Russian in my context scripts. (Latin goes well) I'm ready to send any additional relevant info. Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Re: [NTG-context] \hairline in the header and column rule
by Jeong Dalyoung 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Dear Aditya Thank you for your tip. After adding the line "\setupbackgrounds[header][text] [bottomframe=on,topframe=on]", I got lines of whole length. However, [rule=on] option only draw vertical line as long as the paragraph not to the bottom. Please test once more using a short paragraph(3-4 lines) instead of \knuth. Thank you again.

new debian context and debian-nonfree 2006.12.21-1
by Norbert Preining 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hi all! Again, after all the helpful comments from Taco, Hans, Mojca, Aditya, I have redone all the packaging: context: everything but the cow fonts and the tipsandtricks.pdf context-nonfree: cow fonts a long list of pdfs from the web site: aleph.pdf mfonts.pdf mtexfont.pdf show-dem.pdf show-pap.pdf cont-eni.pdf minstall.pdf mtexutil.pdf show-exa.pdf show-pre.pdf cont-enp.pdf mmakempy.pdf mtexwork.pdf showfont.pdf showunic.pdf eppchtex.pdf mp-cb-en.pdf roadmap.pdf show-gra.pdf tiptrick.pdf example.pdf mp-ch-en.pdf setup-en.pdf show-mag.pdf metafun-p.pdf ms-cb-en.pdf show-art.pdf show-man.pdf metafun-s.pdf mtexexec.pdf showcase.pdf show-not.pdf So I hope this should give a quite complete and useful base for context. I also extended the copyright file to include the statements by Taco, and some more remarks. Still I hope that one of the next releases of ConTeXt will contain some sort of MANIFEST.foobar as I suggested. The wording is also improved I hope, so now for all the Debian guys: Can you please take a look at the package, what you think, as I plan (as you see from the version number) to upload it soon. Usual location.
