Process stops
by Alfredo Catalina 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

I am trying to process a document I wrote in 2009 using mkii. I am modifying it to work with mkiv. When I run context mydoc.tex the process starts and after some time it stops and shows an asterisk (*) waiting for a command. I then type in "\end", and it resumes. Finally it ouputs "mydoc.pdf". There are still some things to fix (ie section numbers) but in general the document is ok. I can't see any "error" message although I got a lot of "Overfull \hbox..." and "Underfull \hbox..." messages. What can be the reason?

Zapf Dingbats font
by Alfredo Catalina 02 Jun '12

02 Jun '12

Can the Zapf Dingbats font be used in MKIV? I can't do it work I have downloaded the symb-uni-zapf.zip<http://dl.contextgarden.net/websitesarchive/atl/tex/symb-uni-zapf.zip> file from http://dl.contextgarden.net/websitesarchive/atl/tex/. Then I unpacked it and copied the .tfm, .enc and .map files in texmf-context/fonts as well as symb-uzd.tex in texmf-context/tex/context/third I then run mtxrun --script fonts --reload and context --generate I tried usetypescriptfile[symb-uzd.tex] \usesymbols[uzd] \symbol[Unicode Shadowed Shapes][LowerRightDrop-shadowedWhiteSquare] but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

System font searching suddenly stopped
by Marco Pallante 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Hello, Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm a novice ConTeXt user, switching from LaTeX and without so much time :( I made some time ago a very small test document using the nice Delicious font, which I put in /usr/share/fonts/opentype/exljbris/ (under Debian). This is the straightforward document: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Delicious] \mainlanguage [it] \setupbodyfont [10pt] \setupheadertexts [] \starttext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \stoptext It worked without a problem, as the pdf remembered me. Now, I tried to compile it again, but it doesn't find the Delicious font anymore; on the contrary, it doesn't find system fonts anymore. I followed the instructions in the TeX Live Guide, ran mtxrun --script fonts --reload and context --generate again, without any change. However, I noticed that the mtxrun doesn't walk into the /usr/share/fonts directory, but only inside those from TeX Live. Have you any idea of what's happening? If you need them I can attach the output of any of these scripts. Thank you very much for your help, Marco

Hi all, I hit this bug during “context --make” after today’s update. Can somebody confirm this?

\processmarkdownfile gobbles all starting with % or \
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 31 May '12

31 May '12

Hello, please see the example: ---- \usemodule[markdown] \starttext \startmarkdown AAA -4 % BBB aaa \% bbb \stopmarkdown \processmarkdownfile{t-MD.mkiv} % = This file \stoptext ---- When the t-MD.mkiv is processed by \processmarkdownfile, only "AAA -4" appears from the line "AAA -4 % BBB", so " % BBB" is ignored (skipped). When the percent sign is entered straightly in the \start/stop-markdown scope, it's shown OK. How to enter the percent sign into the file to be processed by \processmarkdownfile so that % is really typeset in the final document? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

how to write two or three single hyphens?
by Jan Pohanka 31 May '12

31 May '12

Hello, describing linux file permissions I would like to write rwx------ As I expected the hyphens are converted to two long dashes (excuse me if I missed the correct name), so I tried something like this rwx{-}{-}{-}{-}{-}{-} or rwx{}-{}-{}-{}-{}-{}- which works in latex, but in context I'm still getting the long dashes. How can I prevent this conversion, please? regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratnou poštovní aplikací Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

MetaPost transformation
by Troy Henderson 31 May '12

31 May '12

I've encountered a MetaPost issue, and since many MetaPost users also use ConTeXt (and vice-versa), I am posting this question on both lists. The command > show identity rotated 270 yscaled 0.5; outputs (0,0,0,1,-0.5,0) as expected, while the command > show identity transformed (0,0,0,1,-0.5,0); errors with --- ! Missing `)' has been inserted. <to be read again> , l.26 ^^Ishow identity transformed (0,0,0,1, -0.5,0); --- I am using MetaPost 1.504, and the problem seems to be that MetaPost does not like me using the sextuple (0,0,0,1,-0.5,0) directly, but this is the most convenient method for me to describe my transformations. Is this a bug in MetaPost, or am I not allowed to use transformations directly with sextuples? Troy Henderson

Argument to ConTeXt
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 31 May '12

31 May '12

Hello, please see the following calling cases: 1) context.exe t6.mkiv --address=6 2) context.exe t6.2.mkiv --address=6 Content ot both .mkiv is identical - just to print the passed address value: ---- \starttext A \directlua{print("@@@", document.arguments.address)} \stoptext ---- The former case gives expected: " ConTeXt ver: 2012.04.26 22:27 MKIV fmt: 2012.4.30 int: english/english ... @@@ 6 backend > xmp > using file 'c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' ... " whilst the latter doesn't: " ConTeXt ver: 2012.04.26 22:27 MKIV fmt: 2012.4.30 int: english/english ... @@@ nil backend > xmp > using file 'c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' ... " Is use of more dots in the file name prohibited? - I'm forced to do so, although personally I don't tend to do so... Any way how to solve the latter case (other than to rename the latter file)?

\definetype and ligatures
by Wolfgang Schuster 31 May '12

31 May '12

Hi, are ligatures etc. supposed to be active in verbatim commands? In the default \type command they are only disabled because \tt has “features=none” in the typescripts but since this isn’t the case for serif and sans you get ligatures. \definetype[test][style=\rm] \starttext \type{fi -- ---} \test{fi -- ---} \stoptext Wolfgang

weird pdf bookmarks question
by Taco Hoekwater 31 May '12

31 May '12

Hi all, I have a question about PDF bookmarks. My Document goes like this (heavily simplified): \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section][chapter,section] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \starttext \chapter[item1]{Overview} \startitemize \item[item4] bla \stopitemize \chapter[item2]{Two} Greetings! \chapter[item3]{Three} I don't know \chapter{Four} Oh no. \stoptext Now, what I would really like is if the link in the bookmarks for 'Four' jumps to the first page (where the 'item4' reference target lives) instead of to the fourth page (where the chapter header lives). The question is: is this possible, and if yes, how? To further complicate things, this is an old project that uses mkii, so lua-based solutions are not helpful. Thanks in advance for any pointers, Taco
