Problem typing file with diacritics by \typefile
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hello, I have problem. Suppose having t-TypeF.ctx which is to print itself: --- \enableregime[cp1250] \starttext ABC ŽŠČ \typefile[]{t-TypeF.ctx} \stoptext --- The letters "ŽŠČ" to be printed during \typefile are the problem. I get a long error message, where the key message is: l.9 \typefile[]{t-TypeF.ctx} ! String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence. system > error on line 73 in file t-TypeF.ctx: String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence ... l.73 ´┐Ż The file is created with CP 1250 = Windows, Eastern Europe, Czech Republic. So how do I make ctx accept also Czech letters with diacritics like "ŽŠČ"? - I also looked to wiki to \setuptyping, but it doesn't seem to there would be a command which could change this.

mptopdf (broken again)
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hans & Taco, A tiny request: is there any chance to make the mptopdf script point to "--script mptopdf" instead of "--script base"? And note for Taco: I have no idea how it got there (I think that I use TLContrib), but my TL installation (/usr/texbin/mptopdf) contains: eval '(exit $?0)' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 $argv:q' if 0; # MikTeX users can set environment variable TEXSYSTEM to "miktex". #D \module #D [ file=mptopdf.pl, ... #D copyright={PRAGMA ADE / Hans Hagen \& Ton Otten}] #C #C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is #C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See licen-en.pdf for #C details. # use File::Copy ; # not in every perl use Config ; use Getopt::Long ; use strict ; use File::Basename ; And when I try to use it I get: > mptopdf a.mp -bash: /usr/texbin/mptopdf: Permission denied Thanks a lot, Mojca

Re: [NTG-context] How to invoke Unicode symbols?
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hi! I'm back again with my question. I really want to get Unicode 'Quarter Note' symbol, either from standard or custom font. The following example does not work, while the font (Symbola) is found. I probably did not define something, but I don't know what. \starttext \startfont[file:Symbola602 sa 2] \fontchar{notequarter} \fontchar{musicalnote} \fontchar{musicalnotedbl} \fontchar{sixteenthnotedbl} \stopfont \stoptext ! LuaTeX error ...tminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cldf-com.lua:58: attempt to call global 'format' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...tminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cldf-com.lua:58: in function 'char' ...tminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-ctx.lua:830: in function 'char' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \fontchar #1->\ctxlua {fonts.char("#1")} l.4 \fontchar{notequarter} ? Please, help me. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Interaction messing with footnote positioning
by Mathieu Boespflug 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hi all, consider the following document: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext {\definedfont[Regular at 30pt] blah\footnote{hello}} \stoptext and compare it with the result for the same document where the first line is commented out. The footnote number isn't aligned the same. Shouldn't setupinteraction have no impact this sort of thing? Best, Mathieu

Hi, With beta 2011.01.10 17:55, the chart module is broken.

Replacing a piece of a paper
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hello, I'm trying to handle a special problem. I guess ConTeXt would be useful for this purpose, although its primary function is to typeset. But - I have many drawings - they are black-and-white one-sided PDFs of A1 or A2 size (typical technical drawings). The bottom right area of size 210 x 330 mm should be "deleted" - or over-painted by a white rectangle (or picture or MP code). And next a new PDF of A4 size should be placed on the right bottom area, just on the white ("deleting") area. I wouldn't have problem with batch processing the number of files. But I would need an example how to take the original A2 PDF, place a whitening area on it and then to place a new PDF over it; I'm not experienced enough in "layering" with ConTeXt and I guess this may be the way. Would it be possible to provide a small example of such processing an arbitrary file? I can send a sample A2 or A1 PDF, and also a replacing A4, if necessary. Thank you in advance.

Which table environment?
by Felix Ingram 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hello all, I've been playing with the various table environments but I thought I'd seek advice as to which would be the best for my requirements. I need to be able to do the following: - Repeating header row with coloured background and text (I can get this working with TABLE but not tabulate). - Multi-page tables (TABLE and tabulate are fine with these). - Insert images in a cell (TABLE seems to handle this better than tabulate). - Have rows that will split across pages - we will have large pieces of text and images which will end up being taller than the page. (tabulates paragraph support is the right sort of thing) - Start next row on current page. - Include other tables, lists etc in a cell (this is a "nice to have" rather than a "must have") The reason I need these various things is because Word acts this way and I need to produce something similar (until we can argue for a format change). At the moment I'm leaning towards tabulate but I'm having issues with images and the headers. I'm using Mk IV (bonus question: as a newbie, should I just start with IV and ignore II? Or is II better for any particular reason?). Thanks in advance, Felix
