Re: [NTG-context] how to handle the fonts whose name contains a blank space?

Dear Wolfgang, > > Remove the space: > > \definefont[test][file:kopubbatangprolight*default] > \definefont[test][file:KoPubBatang_ProMedium*default] It didn't work at the first try, and I realized that I didn't reformat ConTeXt after installing this new fonts. After reformatting, ConTeXt found the fonts and worked fine. Thank you and Happy New Year! Best regards, Dalyoung

Nightly Ubuntu ConTeXt / LuaTeX Packages
by Kip Warner 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hey list, It might be useful to put on the wiki a link to Adam Reviczky's PPA (personal package archive) which contains precompiled Ubuntu packages for ConTeXt and LuaTeX nightlies. I've been using them for several months now. He was very generous to prepare them. ConTeXt: https://launchpad.net/~reviczky/+archive/context-daily LuaTeX: https://launchpad.net/~reviczky/+archive/luatex-daily You'll probably get more people able to test the latest revisions with a link on the wiki. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Broken Nightly Chokes on \rotate
by Kip Warner 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hey folks, The nightly for Dec 29th seems to choke on \rotate. I have a statement: \midaligned{\rotate[rotation=42]{\color[red] \bft THIS IS A DRAFT!}} ConTeXt emits the following: ! Undefined control sequence. \dodorotatenextbox ... \@@rorotation \@@layerxpos \zeropoint \@@layerypos \z... \dorotatenextbox ...rotatenextbox \@@rorotation #2 \fi \boxcursor \flushnextb... \boxes_with_next_box ...x \@@rorotation \!!counta \egroup l.22 ...THIS IS A DRAFT!} } ? I'm fairly sure it isn't the \midaligned because I have other statements it compiles fine. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

skipping in xml
by Hans van der Meer 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

The following code does not seem to work i xmlsetups. Its goal is to let part of the input disappear. \startxmlsetups pqr:initial \def\hidestart#1\hidestop{} \hidestart abc\hidestop % << not working \stopxmlsetups Why is the argument not eaten until the \hidestop, but only one letter (the a) consumed. See the error message: Use of \hidestart doesn't match its definition. \@@su:xam:initial ...1\hidestop {}\fi \hidestart a bc\hidestop Hans van der Meer

Is there a replacement for \tracechinesetrue in mkiv?
by Zhichu Chen 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi, I wrote some CJK vertical typesetting macros in mkii a long time ago and I want to adopt it to mkiv. Sadly the \iftracechinese is gone. Can I still draw boxes of each glyph to see if they are aligned in my way? Drawing a line in the background is so not cool. -- Best Regards Chen

bug with --purgeall?
by Pablo Rodríguez 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi there, yesterday I ran the following command: context --purgeall --environment=mysecondstyle.tex --mode=myexample.xml I know that the source file is missing (I discovered it later). This is not my issue. The problem is that the --purgeall option caused context to erase all .log files contained in that directory. Instead of asking for a source file name, it deleted all .log files. I'm afraid this is a bug, at least it shouldn't erase files that context didn't generate. Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\starttexdefinition and @ in macroname in mkvi
by Aditya Mahajan 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi, @, !, _ etc.\ are not recognized as part of the macro name when using MkVI named arguments with \starttexdefinition. For example, consider the following example: \unprotect \starttexdefinition test@again #name Name is #name \stoptexdefinition \protect Processing this file using mtxrun --script interface --preprocess test.mkvi --force shows that #name is not recognized as a parameter. The preprocessing works if I remove the @ from the macro name. Aditya

how to handle the fonts whose name contains a blank space?
by dalyoung 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Dear all, Sometime ago, I asked the same question and got replies. However, I couldn't make it work and I didn't try since then. Now, I am asking the same question again with a hope. I have several Korean fonts whose name contains a blank space. For example, in KoPubBatang_Pro family, there are 3 fonts: KoPubBatang_Pro Light (font file name is "KoPubBatang_Pro Light.otf") KoPubBatang_Pro Medium (font file name is "KoPubBatang_Pro Medium.otf") KoPubBatang_Pro Bold (font file name is "KoPubBatang_Pro Bold.otf") You can download the fonts from here: http://www.mcst.go.kr/web/notifyCourt/notice/mctNoticeView.jsp?pSeq=6870 Here is a sample code: \definefont[test][KoPubBatang_Pro Light.otf] \starttext \test This is a test for KoPubBatang font. 한글이 잘 써지는지 봅시다. \stoptext But I got the following messages in the log file. fonts > defining > font with asked name 'KoPubBatang_Pro' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font KoPubBatang_Pro, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define KoPubBatang_Pro as \**sangsang** backend > xmp > using file '/Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' pages > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1, subpage 1 )</Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman12-regular.otf> Is there any hints for this? Thanks for reading and Happy New Year! Dalyoung

generating PDF from XML
by Pablo Rodríguez 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi there, http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2011/talks/day2_03_thomas_xml-tutorial/ contains some files that allow generating PDF from XML source files. context --purgeall --environment=mysecondstyle.tex myexample.xml with ConTeXt stable from TL2011 should do the work, shouldn't it? Well... I get no error, but I don't get the PDF output. The same happens with the examples at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TEI_xml. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
