framed float with offset
by Sanjoy Mahajan 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Is there a way to have figures placed on a slightly larger colored background and then have paragraph text flow around the enlarged area? I tried the following (using ver 2009.11.26 16:28 MKII): \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \placefigure[right,none]{}% {\externalfigure[sample/cow.pdf]% [scale=500, frame=on, frameoffset=20pt, framecolor=black, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, backgroundoffset=20pt]} \input knuth \stoptext But the frame and background bleed into the text. I tried wrapping the externalfigure in a \framed, and also wrapping that in an \vbox or an \hbox (desperate measures, I admit). But somehow the \placefigure always knew exactly the size of the cow itself and used only that information, rather than the size of the enlarged background. Any suggestions appreciated. (I'd wikify in the framed section.) -Sanjoy

proportional oldstyle figure not working in MKIV
by Yue Wang 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Hi, Hans: I think there are problems with the current MKIV font loading code. sample code: \definefontfeature[minion][language=dflt, script=latn, onum=yes, kern=yes, pnum=yes] \definefontsynonym[Minion][MinionPro-Regular][features=minion] \definefont[Minion][Minion at 34pt] \starttext \Minion 1234567890 \stoptext This works in MKII (XeTeX). Please fix that. Thanks Yue Wang

Identifying fonts on my system
by Tom 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

My first step in trying to understand fonts is to determine exactly which fonts are loaded onto my system. Is there a command that will list all the fonts currently resident on my TexLive 2008 MKII installatation? Mfonts.pdf mentions that Adobe's 15 standard fonts are also available. How do I determine what they are and how to identify them in commands? Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

Layout for the first page
by Sam Qasbah 30 Dec '10

Hello to all of you. I'm working on a document that must have a layout for the first page and a different layout for all the other pages. On this mailing list Hans Hagen said that the technique to set up a layout for the first page of a document is \setuplayout[1][key=value, ... ] I tried that code in this way: \definelayout[1][% layout for the first page backspace=6cm, cutspace=6cm, width=middle] \definelayout[% global layout for all the other other pages backspace=1cm, cutspace=1cm, width=middle] \setuplayout \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{20}{\input dawkins \par \input knuth \par} \stoptext this code doesn't work. Where am I in fault? Sam Qasbah

Arrows in symbol font
by Achim Jander 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Hi all, I tried to insert an right arrow in my text via \definefontsynonym[Symbol][symbol.ttf] \definesymbol[test_ae][\getglyph{Symbol}{\char"AE}] \starttext Test ae: \symbol[test_ae]\par \stoptext where AE was the codepoint Windows Char Table gave me. But in the pdf there was a Diamond-Sign, which should reside at codepoint A8. So I tested a litte more and finally found the arrow at \definesymbol[rarr][\getglyph{Symbol}{\char"C6}] On the arrow-side i am happy now, but confused how that happens. I did some analysis of the font, it includes 2 cmaps, one type 0 cmap which declares (converted to xml for analysis): <map code="0xae" name="arrowright"/> and a type 4 cmap which has <map code="0xf0ae" name="arrowright"/> So I would expect one of this codes to be working (in fact, both codepoints work eg in Word). But \char"AE gives the diamond and \char"F0AE gives nothing at all. Can anyone give me some enlightment? Thanks, Achim
