News for MikTeX hash size limit ?
by Sebastian Rooks 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hi Giuseppe, Do you have any news for the hash-size limit in MikteX ? There were some update recently but it still doesn't compile my files (see previous mails 2003-04-08). I tried to install TeXlive, and the resulting installation was not very "clean". But my files were compiled. As I should finish to write my thesis in roughtly two months from now, do you think I should forget MikTeX and go on with TeXlive ? Thanks a lot, Seb.

Hi, In response on all this decimal discussions i posted a new magazine (mag-0003) about a feature that is maybe unknown.

Bug in layer graphics recalculation
by Slawek Zak 19 May '03

19 May '03

It seems that either my ConTeXt installation is bugged or some bug sneaked in some late ConTeXt releases. The background graphics on each page are not recalculated as they should be, but only the first one is taken and set for speciffic layer. Following short example should make it visible: % output=pdftex \usemodule[pre-03] \starttext \TitlePage{How nice} \Topics{This is about ...} \Topic{The first one} \Topic{Another one} \stoptext It's been taken from s-pre-03.tex example code and doesn't work for me with latest beta and release version as well. The darker part of background ellipsis should be moving towards the endpoint on consecutive pages. It doesn't. Any thoughts? /S

\definecolorgroup with gray values

I want to define a colorgroup of gray values, so I tried the following: \definecolorgroup[test][gray] [.1:.1:.1, .2:.2:.2] The result was: ---------------------------------------- ConTeXt ver: 2003.4.29 fmt: 2003.5.8 int: english mes: english ... !

newbie question: greek in ConTeXt?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 May '03

18 May '03

After using LateX for a while, I became interested in ConTeXt and was immediately fascinated by the ease of use and the logical structure of commands. However, for my job, I need to typeset in ancient Greek (politoniko). There are a couple of packages for LaTeX that can do that (Teubner, psgreek e.g.), but can it be done in ConTeXt? I already stumble whenever I try to set the language to Greek; I get a couple of error messages (I use the standard teTex-distribution on a Mac with OS X 10.2). Can anybody point me to helpful documents or discussions? Thanks a lot! -- Thomas A. Schmitz Philologisches Seminar Universitaet Bonn Am Hof 1 e 53113 Bonn Germany

German interface

Hallo! I have 'set UserInterface to de' in 'texexec.ini'. Given the following testfile: ------------------test.tex------------- \enableregime[windows] \mainlanguage[de] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \starttext \chapter{Test} Bla. \stoptext ---------------------------------------- This runs ok! Why? Should'nt use texexec german interface here? Deleting the first three lines, texexec uses german interface and complains about \chapter{}, which should be \kapitel{}. Commenting the first three lines, I could not find any rule, it seems as if texexec uses randomly german or english interface. Is this normal behaviour? How can I use german interface in the above example? Wolfgang

more on texfont (ttf successes?)
by Adam Lindsay 17 May '03

17 May '03

Folks, I've been doing some testing on texfont, and it seems to *almost* support truetype (.ttf) fonts perfectly fine. Has anyone used it to install ttf files, and had it work perfectly? I think all that needs changing is where the mapfile gets written... the type1 extension ".pfb" is currently hard-coded. I'll experiment with a solution (that hopefully works better with .otf files too). Hans, has texfont.pl received any recent private changes that my OpenType patch has to be synched to? I don't want to create a bigger fork than necessary. Cheers, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Hallo Eckhart, vielen Dank für Deine Antwort. Ich habe mir daraufhin einige Installationshinweise (u.a. von fiee http://www.ramm.ch/fiee/texnique/) angesehen und insbesondere die sogenannten "Aufrufe" von MetaPost angesehen und diese in die entsprechenden Konfigurationsdateien auf enable gestellt bzw. hinzugefügt. Leider gehen die meisten Text nicht von Miktex (Win) aus (was ich ja gut verstehen kann), was aber dazu führt, dass bestimmte, genannte, Dateien so unter Miktex gar existieren. Das erleichtert mir als Sozialwissenschaftler, der noch nicht mal versteht, wie ein Kühlschrank funktioniert, aber dennoch schon jahrelang recht ordentliche Text mit latex bzw. pdflatex produziert, die Sache nicht gerade. Ergo: Trotz \write18 (miktex.ini) auf enable und weiteren Modifikationen leider kein Metapost. Ich erhalte folgende Hinweise beim Aufruf: texexec --pdf flowtest initexmf: don't know how to dump metafun cannot make metafun.mem I can't find the default mem file!

Installing mf-font
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 17 May '03

17 May '03

Hallo! In order to learn understand fontinstallation, typescripts and so, I tried to install a Font (Metafont-source). Please have a look at the following fragment: ---------------------type-bunt.tex---------------------------- \starttypescript [handwriting] [bunt] [ec] \definefontsynonym [???] [???] [???] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [handwriting] [bunt] [name] \definefontsynonym [???] [???] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [handwriting] [default] [size] \definebodyfont [5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,10.95pt,12pt,14.4pt,17.28pt,20.74pt,24.88pt] [hw] [default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Bunt] \definetypeface [Bunt] [hw] [handwriting] [bunt] [default] [encoding=\typescripttwo] \stoptypescript ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the following questions: 1. What is the differenz between hw and cg resp. handwriting and calligraphy? 2. Is the typescript for [handwriting], defined in 'type-siz.tex', the default, if the above typescript for size would be deletet? 3. Is there a good reason to use typescripts for such a one member family of fonts? 4. What is the 3. parameter in \definebodyfont for? 5. In 'type-siz.tex' the sizes are given with maximal 1/10 pr�zission. In a LaTeX fd-file I have used 1/100 pr�zission (10.95, not 11; 17.28, not 17.3), so I have used the same in the above typescript, just to be konsistent. Is this ok? 6. The namingshema of the source-files is 'bunt0900.mf, bunt1000.mf, bunt1095.mf ... What has to be written in the above [name] typescript to build these names? 7. What should I write for the 6. parameter of \definetypeface? The encoding [ec]? What means \typescripttwo? What with the encoding-typescript? Wolfgang

OT Best font for online viewing.
by John Culleton 14 May '03

14 May '03

built a document using the encoding for Palatino thus: \usetypescript[berry][ec] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] The good news is I got the Palladio version of Palatino according to Acrobat Reader 5.05. The bad news is that the characters are distorted. When I blow them up 400% then they look OK. In particular the capital T looks like someone trimmed part of the top bar with a router. But lc letters look funky as well. I know Lucida Bright is the favorite font for on-line use in pragma-nl. But is there a regular (like, free) Adobe Font that looks OK when used with Acrobat Reader? Or is there some other setup improvement I need to make? In GV the glyphs look a bit ragged but the artifacts like the chopped up capital T are not present. So it is an Acrobat weakness. But Acrobat Reader is the name of the game for e-books. ____________________________________________________________ Free 20MB Web Site Hosting and Personalized E-mail Service!

Mathematica fonts in ConTeXt
by Mikael Persson 13 May '03

13 May '03

Hello everybody, I wonder if someone has used the Mathematica math fonts in ConTeXt? If not, then maybe someone could give me a hint how to write the files needed to enable the usage of them (I have looked in math-tex.tex, math-lbr.tex and so on, but I don't understand how adding support for a new font is done with math fonts) I would really like to use them since they seem to go fine with times and since I am writing Mathematica stuff... Another problem may be that the fonts are available in .pfa format. I did convert them to .pfb's with pfa2pfb and the .pfb files got half the size of the .pfa files (maybe that is how it is supposed to be?) Any help is appreciated, Regards, Micke P

predefined fonts on TeXLive
by Bill McClain 13 May '03

13 May '03

I'd like to add a section on using TeXLive fonts to my help page. First: listing those which are predefined in ConTeXt. Then: writing typescripts for the others. Since I don't want to write any unncessary scripts, please check this list to see if I've missed anything. This is what I see by looking at type-exa.tex and running some experiments: (1) The default, with no type specification, gives Bluesky Computer Modern. (2) This produces CM-Super Computer Modern: \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[modern] (3) This produces Palatino (URW Palladio): \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] % \setupbodyfont[palatino] (4) This produces Times (URW Nimbus): \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[times][ec] % \setupbodyfont[times] (5) These both produce Times, Helvetica (\ss) and Courier (\tt) from the URW Nimbus collection: \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \setupbodyfont[pos] or \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[postscript][ec] \setupbodyfont[postscript] * * * That's all I can find. type-exa.tex contains Lucida typeface definitions, but the corresponding tfm's don't exist on TeXLive. Is there some setting to make these work? Similarly, type-enc.tex contains many font synonyms, but the tfm's do not exist and there are no typeface definitions for them. For anything else, I'll have to produce typescripts, right? -Bill -- Sattre Press Pagan Papers http://sattre-press.com/ by Kenneth Grahame info(a)sattre-press.com http://pp.sattre-press.com/

PDF will now support structured markup for pretty much all of the common structures in ConTeXt, even citations! Any chance we'll finally see pdftex (and later ConTeXt) support this Hans? Bruce

selecting encoding for Unicode
by Gour 13 May '03

13 May '03

Hi! I have problem in displaying characters which are not in default ConTeXt encoding, eg. amacron, Amacron, Imacron, imacron .. My input is utf-8 and converted to ConTeXt with dbcontext package. In ConTeXt file I have: \chardef\utfunihashmode=1 and \enableregime[utf] and everything is fine, except that I don't know how to switch encoding to Unicode, so that the characters which are defined in e.g. \unic-001.tex can be displayed. I have tried with \useencoding [uc] but it doesn't work. However, when I put {\amacron} it is properly displayed - I conclude that ConTeXt understands the glyph name, but when it has to decode the same character as utf-8, it doesn't recognize it. Any hint?

Using \cal, \frak, \goth in math mode
by Giuseppe Bilotta 13 May '03

13 May '03

In ConTeXt, \cal, \frak and \goth (etc) are considered "text only" commands. To use them in math mode one has to use \gothing, \fraktur, \calligraphic etc, which make a temporary switch to text mode. This is contrary to the LaTeX expectations, where $\cal ABC$ makes all three letters calligraphic. How could such a thing be achieved in ConTeXt? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Toggle fields
by Sytse Knypstra 13 May '03

13 May '03

Dear ConTeXt users, In experimenting with (JavaScript) fields I tried the example on p. 11 in the up-to-date 1998/1 publication. I placed the check field not in the margin, but in the running text and discovered that \goto{Help}[JS(Toggle_Hide{Help})] does work if it is placed after \fitfield[Help], but that it does not work if it is placed before \fitfield[Help]. For the commands \goto{Hide Help}[HideField{Help}] and \goto{Show Help}[ShowField{Help}] their position relative to \fitfield[Help] does not matter. Would it be possible to make a command ToggleField, analagous to HideField and ShowField, whose position relative to \fitfield[Help} is not important? Thank you, Sytse %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Here is the complete example: \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \definefield[Help][check][Helpsetup][helpinfo][helpinfo] \setupfields[reset] \setupfield[Helpsetup][width=fit,height=fit,frame=off,option={readonly,hidden}] \definesymbol[helpinfo][\SomeHelpText] \def\SomeHelpText% {\framed [width=\leftmarginwidth,height=fit,align=middle,style=small, frame=on,background=color,backgroundcolor=white,framecolor=red] {Click on the hide button to remove this screen}} %\fitfield[Help] % if uncommented, all three \goto's work ok Now we can put the button somewhere and turn the help on or off by saying \goto{Hide Help}[HideField{Help}] or \goto{Show Help}[ShowField{Help}]. Although it's better to put these commands in a dedicated part of the screen. And try \goto{Help}[JS(Toggle_Hide{Help})]. \fitfield[Help] % \goto{Help}[JS(Toggle_Hide{Help})] does not work \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

ligatures?
by Adam Lindsay 13 May '03

TeXnicians, Once again, I'll stick my neck out showing my pure TeX ignorance. Are there ConTeXt commands for adding ligatures to the usual set (ff, fi, etc.)? Where in the chain are these characters (f + i) grouped and associated with the 'fi' character to be output? I'd like to be able to take advantage of some extended ligatures with my pro fonts, but it seems that if users have to enter the ligatures as \Thligature or whatever, they would be of very limited use. thanks in advance, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Run ConTeXt from TexLive 7 CDROM and WinShell

Thank you to Maarten Sneep and Severin Obertuefer for help with my "Newbie cant get \externalfigure to work" It seems likely that problem arose because of some coding errors and also because I am using an old (1999) version of ConTeXt (part of 4TeX5.0 (NL Tug)). So I am trying to upgrade. I am now trying to run ConTeXt from TexLive 7 CDROM, TexLive says ... "Select a Tex-oriented editor" I chose WinShell To run Context, I made a WinShell User Defined Tool, as follows. In Options => General => Userdefined I did ... exefile = pdfetex ... cmd line = &cont-en When I run that tool I get One or more errors occurred! Please check the options! Now I am stuck again Your suggestions gratefully received Richard Hardwick

BUG in latest ConTeXt beta?
by Giuseppe Bilotta 10 May '03

10 May '03

Hello, I just downloaded the latest ConTeXt beta (2003.4.29), and I spotted a bug in lang-grk: the headtexts are defined for s!fi, not for s!gr (also, the package subtitles reads "Uralic" instead of "Greek" languages) ... -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

some questions on fonts
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 May '03

09 May '03

Dear ConTeXticians, I'm learning to use ConTeXt and the main problems I have with ConTeXt are related to fonts. I need to use utf-8 for my documents, since it is the proper way to handle polytonic Greek, Spanish and German in a single document without having to use strange input methods. I was told that it is possible to use utf-8 in ConTeXt (although Greek isn't defined for utf-8 yet), but I don't know how to enable this feature. Which command can I use utf-8 in my documents? (I know \enableregime, but it doesn't work with option unicode). Another problem is the fontencoding: I'd like to use the cm-super fonts, but if I try to use \setupencoding[default=ec] I get a recursive error with some documents (but this is probably due to the wrong document syntax) or the document fonts are the standard cm fonts in OT1 encoding, what is probably related to the last problem. I cannot invoke other fonts than \setupbodyfont[ber,pos]. I use the MikTeX total distribution and with pdfLaTeX all installed fonts work fine. With ConTeXt if I use \setupbodyfont[palatino], either I get an error from maketfm that doesn't know how to make ec-uplr8a or in other documents the variant palatino for bodyfont seems to be unknown. I'm extremely confused about how ConTeXt works with the installed fonts (probably I don't have the required knowledge to understand it) and actually I don't know how LaTeX mangages the available fonts, but it works. The above question is not how to install new fonts or even how ConTeXt manages fonts. The only thing I'd appreciate to know is the most simple procedure to invoke each installed font on my TeX distribution within ConTeXt. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Magazine: OpenType Pro fonts in ConTeXt
by Adam Lindsay 09 May '03

09 May '03

Hi ConTeXters. I've finally documented some font support macros and typescripts that I've been working on. I collected the ideas in a MyWay magazine: <http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/OpenType.pdf> (782 Kb) The companion files are on the site as well: <http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/OpenType.zip> (25 Kb) A web page to hold all this stuff is forthcoming. The best way to describe what it does is with the abstract: This is a summary of issues encountered and solutions implemented in order to support some advanced OpenType features in ConTeXt. This article describes an accompanying package that addresses installation (using TeXFont), accommodating extended opticals families, and some ``pro'' font features. The extended character set afforded by pro fonts enables support for comprehensive small caps, old-style figures, and the use of greek glyphs to give workable math fonts. Although the typescripts and commands are described together, certain features (like variant encodings for TeXFont and the idiosyncratic method for creating new math fonts) can be used independently of the other features described. I hope this proves interesting, if not useful, to others. Cheers, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Also, I've noticed odd kerning with apostrophes, in both Jenson Pro and, it seems, in your sample on page 1 where the word "Adobe's" looks quite odd. Any ideas what's going on with that? A mistake in the metric files? And how would this be corrected; go into the kerning pairs and adjust them for this glyph? Bruce

Font h__ revisited.
by John Culleton 08 May '03

08 May '03

No virtuous deed goes unpunished. I have been using old-fashioned \font commands with Context because the other was just too confusing. But I htought it was time to ger religion. So I copied the following pretty much verbatim from a manual: \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Palatino] \definefontsynonym [Palatino][uplr8r] [encoding=default] \definebodyfont [14.4pt] [rm] [tf=Serif sa 1] ... \switchtobodyfont[14.4pt] ...and I get Computer Modern according to Acrobat Reader. ---------------------------------- But when I use this: \font\rm=uplr8r at 12pt \font\bf=uplb8r at 14.4pt \font\bs=uplbo8r at 17.3pt \rm I get the font I want where I want it. --------------------------------------------------- So what am I messing up in the first example?

Hi all, I have definitely not been flooded by answers. I am getting the impression that this forum might not have been the best one to ask (i.e. I have a practical problem which has little bearing with implementation aspects / bugs / new features of Context). I have gone through comp.text.tex, but it seems to be heavily oriented towards latex. Would you have any other direction I could go to and get some assistance? Thanks for showing a door (;-)), Emmanuel Thanks Hans. Apologies if the discussion doesn't flow very much, I am writing from down under. In fact, what I would ideally like to do is the following: 1- Define a template with the boxes without any arrows. 2- Write numbered lists describing arrows that would be generated on top of the template. The overview might look like the following (with some bogus macro names): % Somewhere in a template file % Template for the boxes: \StartMPTemplate[Boxes] % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ! A ! ! B ! ! C ! % ----- ----- ----- % \startFLOWcell \name {a} \location {1,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss A} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {b} \location {2,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss B} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {c} \location {3,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss C} \stopFLOWcell \StopMPTemplate ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the first chapter \startcomponent Right \Chapter{Every to the right} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Right] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % Place the float \placefigure [here,force] [fig:chart1] {Chart One} {\framed{\FLOWchart[Right]}} % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=a,fromside=r,to=b,toside=l] This is the first arrow. \arrow[labels=number,from=b,fromside=r,to=c,toside=l] This is the second arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! 1 ! ! 2 ! ! % ! A !---->! B !---->! C ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The text should appear below the float as \startitemize would have done % 1 This is the first arrow. % 2 This is the second arrow. ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the next chapter \startcomponent Left \Chapter{Every to the left} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Left] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=c,fromside=r,to=a,toside=l] This is the top arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % !------------------------------ % ! ----- ----- ----- ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! % -->! A ! ! B ! ! C !--! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The idea is that everything is dynamic: - if the template changes, all the graphs get redrawn with the boxes at their new place. The arrows get moved as needed. - if the itemised text is changed (say the 'second arrow' line is written before the 'first arrow'), then on the graph, the arrow from a to b would be numbered 2 and the arrow from b to c would become 1. What I tried is the definition you see at the top for the boxes. Then, to generate the first graph, I would have: --------------------------------------------------- \startFLOWchart[chart] % Inserts template \includeFLOWchart[template][x=1,y=1] % Additional information on top of cell a \startFLOWcell \name {a} \connection [rl] {b} \comment [t] {\ss 1} \stopFLOWcell % Additional information on top of cell b \startFLOWcell \name {b} \connection [rl] {c} \comment [t] {\ss 2} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart --------------------------------------------------- All I get is the template without any arrows. I thought about trying to generate massive metafun macros. But I want the itemised text to be text and not a graph. Bottom line: is it possible? realistic? I have been using MS Word so far to do that sort of thing. It has been quite tedious to reflect any change in the box structure: 10 charts means 10 charts to re-edit. As a bonus question that should be easier. Is it possible to draw other sorts of arrows: i would like to draw straght line arrows that could follow a diagonal (say go north-east instead of east first then north), or circular arrows like: % % ----- % ! ! % ! !<-- % ----- \ % \ % | % ----- / % ! ! / % ! A !<-- % ----- As usual any help is welcome.

I came, I upgraded, I goofed.

I was concerned that I may have over time messed with my system too much. So I reloaded the the 2002 version of the TeXLive CDROM. Things worked more or less. Then I was concerned that I should upgrade to the latest Context. So I downloaded cont-en.zip from the site and unzipped it in my /usr/TeX directory. This is a Linux system. Now if I sign on as an ordinary user when I run texexec I get a "file access denied" message. NO clue as to which file is denying access.
