(Xe)ConTeXt and CJK support
by S Barmeier 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Dear ConTeXt users, I am trying to write a document (grammar notes) in English and Japanese and so far have used XeTeX (for Unicode support) with tikZ (for graphics) quite successfully. However, I wish to convert to (Xe)ConTeXt in order to have more control over the page design. At the moment I am stuck at trying to define English and Japanese fonts. In XeTeX I used \usepackage[BoldFont]{xeCJK} \setCJKmainfont{IPAMincho} \setCJKsansfont{IPAGothic} \setCJKmonofont{KanjiStrokeOrders} in order to set the three different Japanese fonts I am using. I haven't found any documentation on how to implement something equivalent in ConTeXt and would be most grateful if someone could outline how I would best go about converting my XeTeX document to ConTeXt. Many thanks. Kind regards, Severin P.S.: If you think I'm crazy for trying to mix XeTeX, ConTeXt and tikZ, please tell me now... =) Also, it feels like ConTeXt MkIV with LuaTeX would be the best choice (if the project were just already beyond the beta stage), but I don't really know an awful lot about that either. Any thoughts on how successfully I might be able to implement the above in LuaTeX would also be much appreciated. I have attached a page illustrating how I have been using XeTeX and tikZ.

install beta
by Hans van der Meer 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

I didn't update my context beta for some time and now I seem to have missed an important(?) change. This is my current installation script and running it always worked without a hitch: #!/bin/bash CONTEXTVERSION="beta" CONTEXTDIRECTORY=/Volumes/ALDARAN/TeX/ConTeXt/$CONTEXTVERSION rm -rf $CONTEXTDIRECTORY-old mv -n $CONTEXTDIRECTORY $CONTEXTDIRECTORY-old mkdir -p $CONTEXTDIRECTORY/tex cd $CONTEXTDIRECTORY ln -s $HOME/Library/texmf tex/texmf-local curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh sh ./first-setup.sh >first-setup.log cd tex echo "luatools --selfupdate" luatools --selfupdate echo "mtxrun -selfupdate" mtxrun -selfupdate echo "installation context $CONTEXTVERSION minimals done" However today the following error messages appear: luatools --selfupdate /Users/hans/Bin/contextbeta: line 13: luatools: command not found mtxrun -selfupdate /Users/hans/Bin/contextbeta: line 15: mtxrun: command not found installation context beta minimals done Am I missing something important here? Help would be appreciated. Hans van der Meer

urgent bottom line problem (thin paper)
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Hi, before getting the train to Praha there is an urgent last problem to be solved: The bottom line of body text and footnote text need to be absolutely at the same height (due to a very thin paper used)! I tried to fine-tune the height of layout by 1pt up-and-down, but the difference stays: at least 1mm. Is there a "...skip" that's needs to be adjusted? (using grid mode is a no-go!) Help please!!

Hi all, how can I change a section's conversion (eg. for use in headertext). See minimal example below, please. Steffen === \starttext \chapter{Test} \headnumber[chapter]% now we have numbers % And just now we want to show the same as Characters not numbers: %\convertnumber{\Characters}{\countervalue{@@sesection-2}}% <- gives error %\Characters{\headnumber[chapter]}% <- gives error \stoptext

Hello, Can anybody reproduce the following problem (Taco can't ...): \startbuffer[pdf-pages] \starttext page 1 \page page 2 \stoptext \stopbuffer \savebuffer[pdf-pages][pdf-pages.tex] \executesystemcommand{context pdf-pages; mkdir testdir; mv pdf-pages.pdf testdir/2*8.pdf} \starttext \setupexternalfigures[directory={./testdir}] \externalfigure[2*8][page=2] \stoptext -> !LuaTeX error: PDF inclusion: required page <2> does not exist No problem with page=1. No problem with other name for pdf-file (for example "pdftest.pdf" instead of "2*8.pdf"). No problem, if pdf-file is in current directory instead of "testdir". My system is latest minimals on linux-amd64. Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

stray characters in output before bibliography
by Johann P.S. Dahm 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Hi, I'm new to ConTeXt (from LaTeX). I'm trying it out for a course paper that I need to write and running into a problem with the output pdf. With respect to the code below, when I compile it, I get the odd text "pubs]References" under the "References" section heading. I've looked around, but I can't find anyone having a similar problem. Is this caused by something I'm doing incorrectly in the ConTeXt code or is it something wrong with the bib module? For reference: I'm using MacTeX 2010 (up-to-date) on OSX10.6. --------------- \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=sources,sort=author, numbering=yes] \starttext \cite[something] some text. \section{References} \completepublications \stoptext --------------- Output looks like: (Something, Somedate) some text. 1 References pubs]References 1 "Title of the book", publisher, etc........ --------------- Thanks for any help, - Johann

Units fonts and spacing
by Vedran Miletić 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Hello, can m-units be made to adjust it's font style to local font? For example \usemodule[units] \starttext \ss 1 \Bit\Per\Second \stoptext will still use serif font for units. Also, can m-units be set up to use spacing like 1\,\Bit\Per\Second instead of normal spacing? I saw there are some definitions for that in m-units.tex, but haven't found a way to activate them. Thanks, -- Vedran Miletić

natural tables -- split 'n grid
by Philipp Gesang 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Hi, line correction leads to unwanted vertical spacing in split natural tables. Example (in both MkII and MkIV): ··8<····························································· %\setuplayout[grid=yes] % not required to reproduce it \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth\par} \startlinecorrection % fine without line correction \bTABLE[split=yes] % fine with split=no \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTH p\eTH\bTH q\eTH\bTH p or q\eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTC False\eTC\bTC False\eTC\bTC False\eTC\eTR \bTR\bTC True\eTC\bTC False\eTC\bTC True\eTC\eTR \bTR\bTC False\eTC\bTC True\eTC\bTC True\eTC\eTR \bTR\bTC True\eTC\bTC True\eTC\bTC True\eTC\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoplinecorrection \stoptext ··8<····························································· What am I missing here? Is line correction even recommended for use with tables? Why isn't it ignored if grid typesetting is switched off?
