Re: [NTG-context] error when installing ConTeXt Standalone
by John Kitzmiller 04 Oct '13

Maybe you need to specify the installation directory or issue tex/setuptex from inside the install folder? font-opt.lua should be in <install folder>/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base John > On 09/25/2013 12:01 AM, Mica Semrick wrote: >> Have you added the bin directory to your PATH? > > No, I invoke "source tex/setuptex", which does the same job. > > > Pablo > > >> On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 1:55 PM, Pablo Rodr?guez wrote: >> >> Dear list, >> >> I have installed a system-wide ConTeXt Standalone in Fedora 19, >> following the instructions from the wiki. >> >> But when I try to rebuild the font cache, I get the following error >> (with option verbose): >> >> resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'font-otp.lua'cannot open >> : No such file or directory >> >> I don?t know what I?m doing wrong, but I get the error as root also. >> >> Could anyone tell me what it?s wrong here? >> >> Many thanks for your help, >> >> >> Pablo

Lua & \let
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

Hello all, how to call \let from within Lua? I'd need to "\let\T=4" using Lua. The following code doesn't work (not so surprisingly): ---- \startluacode a = 4 \stopluacode \expandafter\let\expandafter\T=\cldcontext{a} \starttext Test \T. \stoptext ---- What's the correct way? TIA. Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o. [mailto:pontex@pontex.cz] [http://www.pontex.cz] Bezová 1658 147 14 Praha 4 Tel: +420 244 062 238 Fax: +420 244 461 038

columns
by H. van der Meer 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

I have some difficulties with columns inside a framedtext. The example below shows that columns does not work inside framedtext, whereas simplecolumns does. However, the latter does not show rules between the columns. Can I have both? Is columns definitely not working here or is it temporarily until something is fixed? Or will simplecolumns be extended to show the rules? % test columns within framedtext \starttext \startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth] \startcolumns[n=2,rule=on,balance=yes] \input tufte \stopcolumns \stopframedtext \startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth] \blank \startsimplecolumns[n=2,rule=on,balance=yes] \input tufte \stopsimplecolumns \stopframedtext \stoptext Hans van der Meer

Dear list, I have this sample: \definetype[TeXcode][option=TEX] \starttext \TeXcode{\mainlanguage[la]}, but \tex{ConTeXt} and \arg{option=value}. \stoptext I need ot have \tex and \arg colored with [option=TeX] (and I would avoid having \type colored). How can I do that? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

[***SPAM***] Fonts
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Is there any utility available that can display the different fonts available for viewing. I'm not that familiar with what's available but I would like to see what fonts are already loaded and can be used by the ConteXt macro processor. Thanks

Wrong spacing using stretch effect
by Marco Patzer 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi, the stretch effect does not take the final width of the string into account. Is this a bug or a limitation? Example: \starttext (\effect[stretch]{fftabc})\par %% “c” collides with “)” (\kerncharacters[.05]fftabc) %% no collision \stoptext Marco

Using Nibus Roman with MkIV
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi, Is it possible to use Nibus Roman with MkIV. I have to send a document where the font used **must** be Times New Roman or Nimbus Roman. I tried using a clone (Termes), but I was told that I must use Times New Roman or Nimbus Roman. (It is a matter of regulations, so it is not possible for me to explain that Termes and Nibmus Roman are essentially the same). So, is it possible to use Nimbus Roman (type1 font) in MkIV? Thanks, Aditya

re-\place figure using the original figure number
by Stephens, Kenny 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

I would like to have the same figure in multiple places in my document, but each instance should use the same figure number. \starttext \placefigure[right][fig-3-36]{}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=2cm]} Here is the first instance of a figure, \in{Figure}[fig-3-36]. \placefigure[right][fig-4-200]{}{\externalfigure[mill.png][width=2cm]} Here is \in{Figure}[fig-4-200], just to spread things out. \placefigure[right][fig-3-36]{}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=2cm]} Here is the original \in{Figure}[fig-3-36], but I would like for it to show the same figure number as the first instance \stoptext But I want the figure to be associated with certain text so that the user doesn't have to flip back to the original instance (it's a workbook of physics problems so certain setups get re-used). Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.

once from the inside?
by H. van der Meer 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

I know how to force ConTeXt doing not more then one run with the --once parameter on the call. Is it, however, possible to do the same from within the ConTeXt document? Some of my documents do not need a second but still get one. Hans van der Meer

Feedback wanted on a ConTeXt tutorial
by Mari Voipio 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hello! Inspired by some informal discussions at the recent ConTeXt meeting I started to write a *really* basic ConTeXt tutorial. However, before I get further than the first six chapters, I'd like to get feedback on it, especially on the content, but also on the layout. The file is (at least temporarily) available at <http://www.lucet.fi/pdfs/ctxbasics.pdf>. I know already that there are a few things missing in the existing chapters, but I'd like to know if the document is any good and if the style is suitable for such a document. I've planned and written it out of my own experiences with ConTeXt, so maybe this document could become a My Way doc when it is finished (something public domain anyway). Thank you, Mari
