Float question
by Ulrich Dirr 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Hi, I've defined a new float with \setupfloats[background=screen,spacebefore=none,spaceafter=none,indentnext= no] \definefloat [diagram] [diagrams] In general they are nicely placed, and grid typesetting is maintained. Sometimes 'indentnext=no' doesn't work. Why? When typesetting with columnsets \chapter{Versuch über die Krankheiten des Kopfes} \startcolumnset[two] <float> [...] the space above isn't removed but it works when the float is moved to a new page when there's not enough room left. Do I have to manually put a negative space here? (I suspect that even the spacebefore and spaceafter didn't work) CHAPTER TITLE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +-----------------+ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +-----------------+ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Is it possible to to place a 'note' at the point where the float should be placed but is moved to the next column or page? page 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx see diagram n on page 2 ((or 'see next diagram' in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx case of column break)) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx page 2 <diagram n> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [...] Best regards, Ulrich

incompatibility metafun / metaobj
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Hi all, there seems to be an incompatibility between metafun's anglebetween macro and the metaobj package. Sample input: \startMPinclusions input metaobj; \stopMPinclusions \startreusableMPgraphic{ff} draw anglebetween(origin--(0,100),origin--(100,0),(btex $\vartheta$ etex)); \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \reuseMPgraphic{ff} \stoptext This results into: error in metapost run : fftest-mpgraph.mp:124 Running 'mpost fftest-mpgraph' manually shows the following error: ! Missing argument to arctime. <to be read again> (19.92523) on->(arctime.if(EXPR0)>0:(EXPR0) else:(arclength((EXPR1))+(EXPR0))fi.of(EXPR1... <to be read again> ; anglebetween->...nta:=point.anglelength.on(EXPR2); pointb:=point.anglelength.... l.121 )) ; ? I have tried to locate the problem more precisely, but my metapost skills are not sufficient, so I have to ask for help here. Regards, Eckhart

Hi Samuel, Thanks for close reading. I corrected the things you mentioned but have a few questions left: (i cc to the context list) % Quantifiers: I think having the quantified identifier in subscript % is a very German notation. % It changes on page 109, with a non-subscript x, but there still % is a vertical bar where I would simply put a comma. can you explain this a bit more, do we need an alternative representation? (mathml completely ignores cultural aspects -) % p. 35 % If prsubset means propersubset, then it looks like % subset and notsubset have been exchanged respectively % with prsubset and notprsubset. I now have: \def\MMLcSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset\subset} \def\MMLcPRSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset\subseteq} \def\MMLcNOTSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset{\not\subset}} \def\MMLcNOTPRSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset{\not\subseteq}} do you mean that i should swap these? % p. 38 % The symbol for outer product more looks like a tensor product. the mathml standard has no real examples and leaves much to guess, so what do you expect to see (example) % p. 56 % A cardinality is visualized using vertical bars. % [But what exactly is meant with cardinality?] % Are you serious when asking this question? in the formal visualized math way, indeed; i wonder what the result should look like, since the spec is fuzzy % p. 137 sqq. % Most symbols appear as a box with a question mark here. that's because taco still has to finish his unicode math fonts ...

Since you're using WinXP, right-click on My Computer, select Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables; add the path to aleph into the PATH settings.

Installatie ConTeXt hapert

Beste ConTeXt-ers, Ik ben bezig met de installatie van ConTeXt. Ik maak gebruik van MiKTeX op een windows machine. De zip-bestanden zijn uitgepakt, PERL is geinstalleerd, texexec.ini is aangepast op MiKTeX. Nu ben ik zover dat ik formats moet maken met "texexec --make en nl", maar dat lukt niet. De log-file eindigt als volgt: ... ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pool size=470502]. @if ...pandafter if@ string #1#2endcsname newif ...er expandafter edef @if #1{false} {let noexpand #1noexpand if... l.1164 \newif\ifXMLsimpleentities % last resort If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me. Weet iemand wat er mis gaat? Overigens, als ik "texexec --make" doe wordt er wel een format aangemaakt, maar dan alleen "mptopdf.efmt".

Placing figure inside a table cell, centered
by Eugene Toporov 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Hello, I'm doing a quest. What I intend to do is a table (using Natural Tables) where one of the columns contains a small icon centered within the cell with no other data there. My table looks like this: \bTABLE \bTR \bTH Operation\eTH \bTH[align=middle] Result\eTH \eTR \bTR \bTD HelloWorld! \eTD \bTD[align=middle] \externalfigure[checkbox] \eTD \eTR \eTABLE "align=middle" for TD gives the expected result for the text, but not for the image. I've managed to center the image using \midaligned command, like below. But the table columns width in this case is set to 50% each. And the only way I found is to add [width=50pt] to each cell. \bTABLE \bTR \bTH Operation\eTH \bTH[align=middle][width=50pt] Result\eTH \eTR \bTR \bTD HelloWorld! \eTD \bTD[width=50pt] \midaligned {\externalfigure[checkbox]} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE I'm afraid I make things too complicated. Is there a simpler way to do what I need? Thanks a lot. -- Regards. Eugene Toporov

Hi, The last few years we have encountered problems with changes in pattern files and names (dutch was dropped, czech was invalid, and us filenames also changed in undocumented ways). To get a bit more control over this can of worms, we need a test file that can be added to the tex live test suite. So, what i need is for each language a couple of words that hyphenate in unique ways (i.e. they must hyphenate differently than related languages) \language[xx] \hyphenatedword{..} can be used to test Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

CMAP and IL2 encoding
by Vit Zyka 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

Nice Sunday evening Hans, I played with ToUnicode resource (for correct copy&paste and search opperation in PDF). I noticed a package cmap.sty was done by Mr. Volovich for LaTeX a year ago; I did one (cmap.tex) for plain TeX yesterday and started to be interested in the situation in ConTeXt. No wonder you did it 4 years ago. But I met some minor problems: 1) if you run example file \useencoding[pfr] \setupbodyfont[csr] \starttext test \`z \'z \bf test \sl test \bs quite funny \`z \page test \`z \'z \bf test \sl test \bs quite funny \`z \page \stoptext you obtain /ToUnicode resource ONLY for first roman variant. It is due to a condition in the file enco-pfr.tex \def\doincludepdffontresource {\ifcsname\s!ucmap\fontfile\endcsname\else \dodoincludepdffontresource \fi} The condition is correct but the \fontfile is not changed when \bf, \it, etc. is used (it is still cscsc10 (?)). Might you look at a proper \fontfile definition? 2) Technical note: in ConTeXt the il2 encoding is defined. But the definition is not ISO-8859-2 (Latin 2, IL2) encoding sharp. The definition is CS font encoding (IL2cs or 8z). It is derived from il2 but it differ in 49 positions (!). For usage in Czech or Slovac languages it causes no problem but what if somebody will want to use a proper il2 font? If you want I can prepare both IL2 and (a bit richer) il2cs (8z?) enco-??.tex files. 3) File pdfr-il2.tex with CMAP definition is proper IL2 mapping. So now we combine IL2 CMAP mapping with IL2cs ConTeXt encoding. It is nosence. Suggested solution: use csr fonts with new IL2cs encoding and create new pdfr-il2cs.tex. 4) Definitions of CMAP encodings are stored in pdfr-??.tex files - it means in TeX format. But the common way is to be a stand-alone PS file, see attachement. Now I know about 5 files from Mr. Volovich (Cork, 3 russian, vietnamese) and two from me (IL2, IL2cs). Such file can be easily included by \pdfobj stream file {} mechanism. Question: I can prepare pdfr-il2cs.tex but is it not better to use more standard stand-alone files in ConTeXt? Vit Zyka

marks in columns
by Plamen Tanovski 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

Hi, is there a way to get the marks set in columns? With \setupfootertexts[{\getmarking[section][first] \getmarking[section][last]}] \starttext \startcolumns[n=2] \section{first} \column \section{last} \stopcolumns \stoptext I get only the last mark, even if I comment the \column out. If there is no possibility, can I write the marks to a file for postprocessing? Best regards, P.

Setting up a typeface
by Ulrich Dirr 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

Hi, I've now studied the docs for a while and experimenting with a bunch of settings but I'm still failing setting up typefaces correctly in ConTeXt. Probably the font mechanism in ConTeXt is much more elaborate than with LaTeX's NFSS. But I'm too stupid to understand it :-( Could someone please help me? My test case -- and it will be the sans serif part of my wish list -- should setup the Linotype HelveticaNeue as body font. The main part is not very difficult to achieve. The test file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- \setupoutput [pdftex] \input pdftexconfig \usetypescriptfile [type-NeueHelvetica] \usetypescript[HelveticaNeue][ec] \setupbodyfont[HelveticaNeueLT,ss,10pt] \starttext \showbodyfontenvironment[HelveticaNeueLT] \showbodyfont[HelveticaNeueLT] \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------------------- type-NeueHelvetica.tex: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- \starttypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [name] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] [...] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] [lhnr8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] [lhnri8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] [lhnb8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] [lhnbi8t] [encoding=ec] [...] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [HelveticaNeue][ec] \usetypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [name] \usetypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [size] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [HelveticaNeue] [ec] \definetypeface [HelveticaNeueLT] [ss] [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [default] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next step should define destinct sizes for use in a project. And here I'm always failing. I've tried, e.g., \definebodyfontenvironment [9bp] [ text=9bp, script=7bp, scriptscript=5bp, x=7bp, xx=5bp, big=11bp, small=7bp, interlinespace=11bp] or, e.g., \starttypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [size] \definebodyfont [10bp] [ss] [tf=Sans at 10bp, bf=SansBold, it=SansItalic, sl=SansItalic, bi=SansBoldItalic, bs=SansBoldItalic] \stoptypescript in all sizes I want, with and without definitions of \definebodyfont, but never got what I want. How can I setup my typeface (regular, bold, etc.) to use the specific sizes 5,6,7,8,9.5,10,12,14,18,24,28 *bp*??? (And with correct dependencies) I'm definitely not understanding how the general scheme works. And all examples I've found always use the standard font sizes and the standard measurement units. Please help me! Best regards, Ulrich Dirr P.S. are there predefined shortcuts for heavy, light, etc. variants?

Problems with Acrobat Reader, animation, sound, JavaScript etc.
by Michal Kvasnicka 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Good morning. I'd like to ask a little off-topic questions but closely related to ConTeXt. I'm sorry I bother you with this, but I need it. My interest is not purely academic. I'd like to prepare fully interactive documents for my students to work with at home and prepare to my classes. My questions are like this: Theoretically, PDF can contain sound, movie, and JavaScript. 1) In practise, the movie plugin I have found only in the Acrobat Reader 5.x under Windoze; in Linux and in Adobe Reader 6.0 under Windoze it was not present. Can I download it somewhere? 2) What are limits of QuickTime JPeg in the PDF? It worked with a movie included in the QuickTime viewer under Windoze, but not with a movie from my digital camera (Olympus C730UZ). How can I convert it (for free)? 3) How can I include sounds to my PDF? Does it work with all Readers under all platforms, or not? What do I need to install? 4) Some JavaScripts work only under Windoze, not under Linux. Why? How can I fix that? Mr. Hagen's clock example, and Mr. Gundlach euro-anim example are just two cases. 5) Does Adobe still support Linux? There is a reader version 6.0 for Windoze, but only 5.0.9 for Linux. 6) If I want to learn how to use JavaScript in the ConTeXt, what Adobe document should I read first? Is somewhere explained to integrate it in the ConTeXt (more that the widgets manual)? Many thanks for any hint. I apologize one more for this slightly off-topic questions. M.K.

Protruding & Utopia italic
by SebastianSturm＠t-online.de 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Hi, I'm using the Utopia/Fourier setup \setupfontsynonym [fourier][handling=normal] \setupfontsynonym [Serif][handling=normal] \setupfonthandling [normal][left=1,right=1] \usetypescript [fourier][ec] \setupbodyfont [fourier,10pt] \setupalign [hanging] and it works great so far, except that protruding seems to be disabled when typesetting in \italic or slanted style. How can I activate hanging alignment of italicized text? I'd also like to know how to use the \mathcal-Alphabet included in the Fourier package. $\text{\cal{...}}$ only generates the standard calligraphic letters known from Computer Modern. BTW, I'm using the latest i-Installer version of ConTeXt/teTeX on OS X. (Console displays ConTeXt ver: 2004.1.13 fmt: 2004.6.25 int: english mes: english) Best regards, Sebastian Sturm

Hi everyone, in latex is possible to work with matrices. How can I have matrix, array o something similar in ConTeXt ? I have been trying with \starttabulate \stoptabulate but my results are frankly poor? I also tried some suggestions from the wiki...about importing ams package from the distro and wrapping \begin \end latex macros with the equivalent ConText ones but I was not able to make it work with the info provided there. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance !! Jose Ignacio Marín

Dear ConTeXt users, I have started another service. Please note that this is not finished yet and might change or get out of service once in a while (I have no experience with such a service). You can process your ConTeXt documents online. Just point your browser to http://live.contextgarden.net and type in your favourite ConTeXt document. Click on "typeset" and you will be able to donwload the pdf file. Please report any errors to me! And again: this service is still some kind of "beta".

Another question regarding Fourier
by SebastianSturm＠t-online.de 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hi, I noticed that \rightrightarrows still produces the CM double arrows when using the Fourier fonts. I know that it is possible to combine two single arrows and position them vertically using \raise and \lower, but I guess that there has to be some less clumsy solution. Or maybe the Fourier distribution is already supposed to include double arrows, in which case it would be a configuration issue? Best regards, Sebastian Sturm

baseline alignment
by Vit Zyka 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hallo, for text positioning in a layer I needed alignment to baseline. I do not known if I missed something but I did not find it in the current ConTeXt. So I did that. Baseline is choosen by capital 'B' in the position parameter. ('B' is adopted from grahicx LaTeX/plain package.) Also I add \ctop, \ltop, and \rtop in sence of \cbox, \lbox, and rbox, respectively. I suggest to add the macros to core-box and supp-box.

column balancing question
by Michal Kvasnicka 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Good morning. One reason for me to switch to ConTeXt were its macros for typesetting in columns that are highly superior to any such macro I have ever seen. (I typeset almost all my documnts in two columns.) But I am not able to supress one strange feature: some pages are one more line longer than they should be. It happen randomly -- or at least I was not able to find out when it happens. Therefore I'm not able to prepare an minimal file. I thougth that setting \widowpenalty=0 \clubpenalty=0 \brokenpenalty=0 \normalbottom may help, but it does not. Can you tell me how to fix this very problem? Well, it does so on all versions of ConTeXt I have ever tried and both with teTeX and TeXLive distribution. Many thanks for your attention and help. Yours Michal Kvasnicka P.S. my document setting is like this (some example can be found at http://www.econ.muni.cz/~qasar/tmp/delba_prace.pdf) % output=pdf \setupbodyfont[ss,10pt] \setuplayout [topspace=2cm, height=fit, lines=55, backspace=15mm, width=fit, margin=0pt, header=3\baselineskip, footer=0pt, grid=yes] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupheader[style={\em}] \setupheadertexts[Axel Leijonhufvud: Jednotlivec, trh a průmyslová dělba práce][pagenumber] \setupindenting[medium] \indenting[first] \setupfootnotes [location=columns, rule=off, before={\blank[3*line,small]}, after=] \setupfootnotedefinition [location=left,width=fit, sample={\mathematics{\star\star\star}\ },hang=1] \setupcolumns[balance=no] \widowpenalty=0 \clubpenalty=0 \brokenpenalty=0 \setuphead[section] [number=no, style={\bf}, before={\blank[3*line]}, after={\blank[line]}, indentnext=yes]

row background (TABLE)
by Peter Rolf 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Hello, I need a way to set the background for a complete row in the TABLE environment. TABLE uses \framed for every single entry. But if I set the framed parameters right after \bTR, it sets the defaults for all the \bTD \eTD entries and not for that row. See example below to give you an idea. So what I need is an additional \framed for every row entry.... or any other miracle :) Greetings, Peter % interface=en output=pdftex \setupcolors[state=start] \startuniqueMPgraphic{row} save ow,oh,p ; path p ; ow:= \overlaywidth ; oh:= \overlayheight ; p:= unitsquare xyscaled(ow,oh) ; fill p withcolor yellow ; draw origin--(ow,0) yshifted oh withcolor blue ; clip currentpicture to boundingbox p ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[rowbg] [\uniqueMPgraphic{row}] \starttext % what I want (but in a TABLE) \framed[background={rowbg}, align={middle,lohi}, strut=no, offset=0pt]{% \setupframed[frame=off] \framed{Just}\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=white]{a stupid}\framed{test}} \blank[big] % what I get \bTABLE \bTR [background={rowbg}, offset=0pt] \bTD Just \eTD \bTD [background=color,backgroundcolor=white] a stupid \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext

Is this possible without using layers? IOW, it there some kind of command that allows: \somecommand[some setups]{content} where the setups specify where the content should be positioned, and towards where it should extend? (e.g., positioned in the top right corner, extending to the bottom left) This can be achieved via layers, but is it possible without? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

concatenate PDF files.
by Paulo Ney de Souza 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

I am looking for a way to concatenate several PDF files, and found this e-mail from Hans: http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-January/000240.html saying that "texexec" can do it in several ways! and to look on the web-site, texexec manual and the mailing list for directions. I went to the manual first and found only ONE: texexec --pdfarrange --noduplex --paper=S6 file-a file-b but that nullified all links I had in my files, and changed the opening from from FitVisible to something else (all files were FitVisible). Next I went to two other sources he mentioned and Googled for: "-ntg-context concatenate pdf" did not yield much beyond that, and neither did Googling http://www.pragma-ade.com/ for the words "concatenate" or "combine". So does anyne know how to use "texexec" to concatenate two PDF files and preseve as much of the file as possible (links, opening format, ...) ? Paulo Ney

footnotes (short: behind, long: below)?
by Steffen Wolfrum 05 Sep '04

05 Sep '04

Hi, is there a predefined command for placing short footnotes at the bottom of each page but horizontally continuos? Is saw this way of typesetting footnotes in an "old" (seventies)-typeset philosophical book. It looks likes this: body text body text body text body text body bo- dy text body text body. ------ 1 short 2 short 3 too 4 short 5 but hey: the long note starts in a new line! I have never seen footnotes like this before. But it reads very pleasant: This way you don't have lot of empty white space (withs short notes), and it still is very clear (for the long footnote starts on a new line). Is it possible to typeset this in ConTeXt? Steffen

Where is texsync.rb located at the moment? It is not on http://www.pragma-ade.com/system/texsync.rb or anywhere in that directory, nor in the /context/ one. If that script isn't supported anymore, what's the difference between cont-bas.zip, justtex.zip.bz2, and linuxtex.zip.bz2? nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

[FONTS] Japanese Unicode
by Nikolai Weibull 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

I'm trying to get some Japanese ideographs in my document, but haven't succeeded yet. Basically, what I've done is used Adam Lindsay's XSL-T stuff for creating an .enc for my .ttf (mona.ttf) and then run texfont to install the font in /usr/share/texmf/local/fonts. Now, I can't get the test .tex-file working because I get Warning: pdfetex (file cork-lmr10): Font cork-lmr10 at 600 not found {/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/bbad153f.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesk y/cm/cmsy7.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/aae443f0.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fon ts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmmi10.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/0ef0afca.enc}</usr /share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr5.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/74af c74c.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmti10.pfb></usr/share/texmf/ fonts/type1/public/marvosym/marvosym.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/f7b6d320 .enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr8.pfb></usr/share/texmf/fonts/ type1/bluesky/cm/cmsy10.pfb></usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr6.pfb> Warning: pdfetex (file mona30xx-raw-mona): Font mona30xx-raw-mona at 600 not fo und from it. Now, these are only warnings, so I tried showing it with gpdf (xpdf), ggv, and acroread for linux. Nothing worked correctly, and only gpdf was able to show anything at all (albeit it wasn't right). So I figured I'd try it myself. I wrote the following type-mone30xx.tex: \starttypescript[serif][mona30] \definefontsynonym[Mona30-Roman][mona30xx-mona][encoding=mona30xx] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][mona30][name] \definefontsynonym[Serif][Mona30-Roman] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[Mona30] \definetypeface[Mona30][rm][serif][mona30][default] \stoptypescript and test.tex: \useregime[utf8] \usetypescriptfile[type-mona30] \usetypescript[Mona30] \setupbodyfont[Mona30] \starttext オ \stoptext Guess what...the resulting PDF is completely empty. Could someone _please_ tell me what I'm missing? I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately and perhaps most could have been answered by me delving deeper into the problem. The issue for me right now, though, is that I'm really stressed for time, as I need to get my masters' thesis done soon, and a lot is working against me at the moment. So, again, if you can help out in any way, _please_ do. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=40000] error
by Samuel Pelletier 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

Hi, I have a long (4333 lines) natural table document that refuse to compose. Initialy, I had an "TeX capacity exceeded" message for "hash size" but it seems that I figured how to bypass it by changing the texmf.cnf file. Now I have a "! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=40000]." error and I have not figured out how to increase this parameter. The only place with a similar name is inside the texmf.cnf file but changing it does not : save_size = 150000 % was 50000 % for saving values outside current group I issue a texexec --make --all but the message is still there. Is there any way to get rid of this one? > !

I can't find anything wrong (for without greek it works fine).

Sure, THIS one works. But what I was asking for was how to change the font for all the english text (all the non-greek)? My attempt was to start the document with: \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] \usetypescript[AGaramondOldStyle] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.2pt] (... and then continue as you have pasted below) But this gives the error I had sent. I hope the problem is clearer now. Can you help to find a solution?
