[***SPAM***] \setscript blocking \hskip functionality
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

I found that using \setscript{nihongo} breaks the functioning of \hskip. Here is a minimal example. MKIV required. Text source is UTF-8 encoded text. In the first case without \setscript the Japanese \hskip properly functions, but just after the \setscript macro it fails (without err or mention). However, it is interesting to note that \hfill does work in both cases with standard alphabet text. %-------------------------------- \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[ipaexm] % using a font having Japanese characters \starttext \underbars{Without setscript:} Alphabet\hskip 2cm text 漢字\hskip 2cm 文書 \setscript[nihongo] \underbars{With setscript:} Alphabet\hskip 2cm text 漢字\hskip 2cm 文書 \stoptext %-------------------------------- end

> 100 % automated typesetting > with 100 % perfect results is impossible Hans, I dont think so. Manual typesetting is not "100 % perfect", too. Why automated typesetting shouldn't be able to obtain the same results, like men – some day. Of course that needs much more than just typesetting-rules, e.g. some times one has to rephrase some sentences to get a good result, but this will be possible for programms in future, too. For typesetting alorithms it holds the same, like for chess programms in the past, now fulfilled: They will get to the men-level, and even (far) beyond that. Huseyin

Different fonts for titles
by "H. Özoguz" 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hi there, how can I use a different font for titles using simplefont? (chapter, section, subsection, ....) At now, I use (e.g.) \definedfont[name:fontname at 12pt], but for many fonts, that results in bad kerning (empty space between characters), but for some fonts, that works. So, is there a better way to change easily the font (using Simplefont maybe), and how to set the title-fonts (no typescript, if possible :)) Thanks! Huseyin

Too many word-breaks in consecutive lines
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi (sorry for many questions today :)), with German you often have the problem, that words are long (most often much longer than english words). So ConTeXt have to break them. But there is a typographical rule: "Do not break words at the end of lines in more than three consecutive lines." So four (or more) breaks each ofter another (line), is forbidden and considered as ugly! By default, ConTeXt does this in many cases, specially with DIN A5 and long words. And I have to manually fix this in every case, that is normal and ok. Is there a way to highlight these attempts of more than three consecutive breaks in one paragraph? Would be easier to find, and to not-oversee. Future suggestion: Perfectly ConTeXt would try to avoid those breaks, but I suspect that would end in ungly kerning and unnormal gaps between words, correct? Huseyin

> Does this also happen when you use the typescript for your garamond? > > Can you also add \showgrid to your document to visualize the grid lines. Yes, it does: ++++++++++++++++ \starttypescript [serif] [nimbus] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:AGaramondPro-Regular.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [file:AGaramondPro-Bold.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-Italic.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] [default] [features=default] \setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,12pt] \setuplayout [grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext erscheint, aber stetig und beständig ist, hat vor Gott mehr Wert als das, das du zwar auch fortlaufend, doch ohne innere Überzeugung erfüllst.\blank erscheint, aber stetig und beständig ist, hat vor Gott mehr Wert als das, das du zwar auch fortlaufend, doch ohne innere Uberzeugung erfüllst. \stoptext +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can see in the example, that I could find the reason for this: It is the height of the letter "Ü". See attachment, is this fixable? Huseyin

Gridding-Problems with Adobe Garamond
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi there, thanks to helpful answers from here (as always:) Adobe Garamond Pro does work now. But today a new problem arises, I hope I made this example minimal enough: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \setuplayout [grid=yes] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[AGaramondPro] \starttext erscheint, aber stetig und beständig ist, hat vor Gott mehr Wert als das, das du zwar auch fortlaufend, doch ohne innere Überzeugung erfüllst. \stoptext ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It seems that gridding does not work properly here, as you see, we have an empty line after "zwar auch", why, and how to fix this? (If you do not have this font, look at the attachment.) And if the reason is not clear (as gridding conflicts some times with other rules without obvious reason), is there a workaround? Thanks!

Font size with Simplefonts
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hello, using Simplefonts, is it the correct way just to write: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[AGaramondPro] [protrusion=quality, expansion=quality] \setupalign[hz, hanging] \setupbodyfont[AGaramondPro,11.5pt] for setting the fontsize (it works). Or is there a more coherent way to set the font size with Simplefonts? Thanks. Huseyin

No indentation after \blank
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi there, I want the output of the following code: +++++++ \setupindenting[yes, small,first] \starttext \noindent Para 1. Para 2.\blank \noindent Para 3. \stoptext ++++++++ but without the explicit "noindent". More precisely I want the following: There should be an indentation in the beginning of every paragraph – but not, if there is a empty line before (even if it not achieved by "blank", but maybe because of some general rules). This rule should include, that the first paragraph should not be indented, even if it has no empty line before. Thanks. Huseyin
