fighting fonts
by Ciro A. Soto 10 Oct '13

Hi everyone, I am trying to reproduce a novel I wrote with context years ago. This time is spanish. I use context only for books, not daily, so now I can't figure out how to use fonts. I have been going around and around for days avoiding to look for help here for such a simple thing, but I surrendered. My last attempt was using the simplefonts module. Here is what I get (linux-64 ubuntu): *> texexec --pdf novel.tex* This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013) \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./novel.tex ConTeXt ver: 2013.06.07 17:34 MKII fmt: 2013.10.8 int: english/english system : cont-new.mkii loaded (/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkii systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkii ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-siz.mkii) (/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-one.mkii)) system : novel.top loaded (./novel.top) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns nl->texnansi:texnansi->1->2:2 nl->ec:ec->2->2:2 us-> ec:ec->3->2:3 de->texnansi:texnansi->4->3:3 de->ec:ec->5->3:3 da->ec:ec->6->2:2 sv->ec:ec->7->2:2 af->ec:ec->8->2:2 gb->ec:ec->9->2:2 fr->texnansi:texnansi->1 0->2:2 fr->ec:ec->11->2:2 es->ec:ec->12->2:2 ca->ec:ec->13->2:2 it->texnansi:te xnansi->14->2:2 it->ec:ec->15->2:2 la->ec:ec->16->2:2 pt->texnansi:texnansi->17 ->2:2 pt->ec:ec->18->2:2 ro->ec:ec->19->2:2 pl->pl0:pl0->20->2:2 pl->ec:ec->21- >2:2 pl->qx:qx->22->2:2 cs->il2:il2->23->2:2 cs->ec:ec->24->2:2 sk->il2:il2->25 ->2:2 sk->ec:ec->26->2:2 hr->ec:ec->27->2:2 sl->ec:ec->28->2:2 tr->ec:ec->29->2 :2 tk->ec:ec->30->1:2 lt->l7x:l7x->31->2:2 agr->agr:agr->33->2:2 fi->ec:ec->34- >2:2 hu->ec:ec->35->2:2 ru->t2a:t2a->37->2:2 uk->t2a:t2a->38->3:3 loaded specials : dvips loaded systems : system commands are enabled language : language en is active specials : loading definition file tpd (/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/spec-tpd.mkii specials : loading definition file fdf (/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.mkii)) (./final_macros.tex color : mpcmyk color space is supported color : mpspot color space is supported color : system rgb is global activated color : unknown system cmyk system : module simplefonts (mkii) loaded (/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefon ts.mkii loading : ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts ) *!

Setting colour in \processisolatedwords sometimes fails
by Marco Patzer 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hi, setting the colour in \processisolatedwords doesn't always work. \defineframed [myframe] [foregroundstyle=italic, foregroundcolor=blue] \def\mycmd{\blue} \starttext %% frame works \myframe{foo bar} %% colour works \processisolatedwords{foo bar}\mycmd %% style is applied, colour is ignored \processisolatedwords{foo bar}\myframe \stoptext Why is the style applied but not the colour?

[***SPAM***] Page layout mechanics
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 10 Oct '13

I am trying to create a papersize for a business card (Japanese sized). I want a 3 mm border/edge and the rest of the space available for text space. I'm able to get new this for the vertical dimension, but the horizontal text area is about 20 mm shorter than desired or (intented) setyp values. How can I get this to provide a text are width of 85 mm and not the 65 mm I am currently getting, even tough I only spacife 3mm right and left edges? Thanks % Minimal example follows: \definepapersize[business-card][width=91mm,height=55mm] \setuppapersize[business-card][business-card] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setuplayout[leftedge=0mm, leftedgedistance=0mm, leftmargin=0mm, leftmargindistance=0mm, backspace=3mm, rightedge=0mm,rightedgedistance=0mm,rightmargin=0mm,rightmargindistance=0mm, topspace=3mm, top=0mm, topdistance=0mm, header=0mm, headerdistance=0mm, footerdistance=0mm, footer=0mm,bottomdistance=0mm, bottom=0mm, makeupwidth=85mm ] \starttext \showframe \midaligned{Hello World!} \showlayout \stoptext

Spelling out chapter numbers for novels.
by john Culleton 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

It is now fashionable in the U.S. (and maybe elsewhere) to use a spelled-out chapter number in novels. Not finding a function to convert from a number register to a text string I created a brute force file that looks like this: ------------------------------ \def\chapstring{\ifcase\currentheadnumber\or One\or Two\or Three\or Four\or Five\or Six\or Seven\or Eight\or Nine\or Ten\or ... Ninety-eight\or Ninety-nine\else One hundred\fi} -------------------------------- This file enables authors to rearrange chapters without worrying about renumbering the chapters since it depends on \currentheadnumber. I wonder if there is a function in Context or elsewhere that does this for me? If not, anyone who wants the complete file can write me for a copy. It might save you ten minutes or so :<) -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

[***SPAM***] Layout question
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

I found I could achieve the desired layout by directly setting the width variable. Thank you. I first tried seting the markupwidth but it can't be set, but the width layout variable does work. Thanks Re: \setuplayout[leftedge=0mm, leftedgedistance=0mm, leftmargin=0mm, leftmargindistance=0mm, backspace=3mm, rightedge=0mm,rightedgedistance=0mm,rightmargin=0mm,rightmargindistance=0mm, topspace=3mm, top=0mm, topdistance=0mm, header=0mm, headerdistance=0mm, footerdistance=0mm, footer=0mm,bottomdistance=0mm, bottom=0mm, width=85mm ]

\DL misfunctioning
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

I'm having some problems. Here is a minimum example showing the problem: Table #1 In the first case \DL[1] does not work and no line is displayed, but the columns line up nicesly. Table #2 In this table I accidentally got \DL[1] to work by added a \NC to th last row. BUT, the last row is not misaligned by about 1 character position. How could I get Example #2 below to align properly and why is \DL not working in example #1? Regards --------------- \starttext \starttable[|r|] \NC Table Header Here \AR \DL[1] \DR \NC misc item 1 \AR \NC misc item 2 \AR \stoptable \starttable[|r|] \NC Table Header Here \AR \DL[1] \DR \NC misc item 1 \AR \NC misc item 2 \NC \AR \stoptable \stoptext

Can someone explain how the "intext" keyword should be used in an item list? I would expect the following minimal example to produce a. first b. second c. third \starttext \startitemize [a,intext] \startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem \startitem third \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext Alan
