First try with ConTeXt (Win7)
by Peter Davis 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

I've used LaTeX for years, but I'm trying to work with ConTeXt now on a Win7 PC that has already had MikTeX 2.9 installed. I've downloaded the minimal ZIP file, unpacked it and run the first_setup.bat file. (Note, I don't have Ruby installed yet, so I can't use pdfTeX, but I assume some other build is available.) Then I opened TeXworks, created a ConTeXt typesetting option, entered a helloworld.tex program, and tried to ConTeXt it. However, I just get these messages: MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | resolvers: skipping configuration file 'C:/Users/peterd/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.9/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' (no file) MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Any clues available? Thanks! -pd

letter module, vertical offset of reference line
by Florian Wobbe 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi, I need to adjust the vertical position of the reference line (as well as subject, opening etc.) because the info-block is longer than the addressee-block to the left. With alternative=customized I can use \setupletterstyle [firstpage] [topspace=...] However with alternative a and e setting topspace has no effect. Also \setupletterstyle [reference] [voffset=...] changes the offset for alternative=customized, only. Best, Florian

linebreak in part title
by Michael Goerz 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi everyone, I want part titles to appear on the own (empty) page, centered horizontally and vertically, and in small caps. To this end, I've set up the \part command as \def\Partcommand#1#2{\centerline{\smcp #2}} \setuphead[part][ placehead=yes, number=no, page=mychapterpagebreak, header=high, footer=high, before={\hbox{}\vfill}, command=\Partcommand, after={\vfill}, prefix=no, ] However, this does not seem to allow line breaks in a part title, which is a problem with very long titles, e.g. \part{Perspectives on Decision Ethics from the USA, Russian Federation, Egypt, and the Czech Republic} Is there any way to get a line break on the part page? I should note that in the TOC, the part title is broken properly, and also observes \crlf. Thanks, Michael

FiXme-module
by Andreas Harder 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi Wolfgang, I've played a bit with your FiXme-module. First of all, thanks for the work! But I ran into following issues. 1. Something is going wrong if I allow interaction. So the text is marked as a link, but one can't jump to the right location. 2. Instead of margin notes I would like to use PDF annotations, so I tried: \setupfixme [before={\startcomment[FiXme]}, after=\stopcomment] This gives an error. 3. Is it possible to save the FiXme-list in a external text file? Something like \savebuffer[expanded list of fixmes][list.txt] \usemodule[fixme] % \setupfixme % -> error % [before={\startcomment[FiXme]}, % after=\stopcomment] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuplist[fixme][interaction=all] \starttext \fixme{To be done …} \input knuth \fixme{To be done …} \input tufte \fixme{To be done …} \page \placelist[fixme] \stoptext Best regards Andreas

MkIV doesn't find font
by Oliver Heins 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

I try to use Minion Pro as main font: \usetypescriptfile[type-adobe] \usetypescript[minion] \setupbodyfont[minion] To my irritation, ConTeXt/LuaTeX complains about not finding the font. […] (/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/context/third/typescripts/type-adobe.mkiv) define fonts > font with name minionpro-regular is not found define fonts > unknown font minionpro-regular, loading aborted define fonts > unable to define minionpro-regular as \*minion12ptrmtf* […] However, Minion Pro is installed on the system, running $ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=minionpro* shows lots of entries. However, there is no such font as minionpro-regular, but minionproregular (without the hyphen): Running "$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=minionproregular" yields "minionproregular minionprocapt /usr/local/share/fonts/MinionPro_Capt.otf", while "$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=minionpro-regular" returns an empty result. What am I doing wrong?

Ligatures on Linux Libertine Bold Italic
by Marco 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hello there. I'm pretty new to ConTeXt and I'm really impressed by your work. So a huge thanks is due. Anyway. Today I found that Linux Libertine Bold Italic doesn't create the ligatures. These work on XeTeX. I took a look at /tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv where the libertine typescript is defined, but I couldn't find anything wrong. The fonts are the one shipped with the latest updated TeXlive 2010 (they are correctly loaded). With other fonts the ligatures for Bold Italic are created, so I'm a bit lost. Is my setup broken somehow? Or the fonts are broken? Or is it a bug? Thanks in advance. %%%% start minimal example %%%%% \usetypescript[termes,libertine] \setupbodyfont[termes,12pt] \def\testtext{ The fi ffl ffi fluf \par {\it The fi ffl ffi fluf fi} \par {\bf The fi ffl ffi fluf} \par {\bi The fi ffl ffi fluf}\par} \starttext Termes: \testtext \switchtobodyfont[libertine,12pt] Libertine: \testtext \stoptext %%%%% end minimal example %%%%%% ConTeXt ver: 2010.11.03 19:42 MKIV fmt: 2010.11.8 LuaTeX, Version beta-0.63.0-2010091123 (From the latest minimal distribution) pdffonts output name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- PHAMRR+TeXGyreTermes-Regular CID Type 0C yes yes yes 18 0 OOTVTU+TeXGyreTermes-Italic CID Type 0C yes yes yes 19 0 QEYIRB+TeXGyreTermes-Bold CID Type 0C yes yes yes 20 0 ONUACL+TeXGyreTermes-BoldItalic CID Type 0C yes yes yes 21 0 YFUCDN+LinLibertineO CID Type 0C yes yes yes 22 0 PYLANJ+LinLibertineOI CID Type 0C yes yes yes 23 0 LBBYDA+LinLibertineOB CID Type 0C yes yes yes 24 0 FBIQKN+LinLibertineOBI CID Type 0C yes yes yes 25 0 -- Marco

TEI XML
by Daniel Grycman 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hi list, used the example on the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TEI_xml) but I didn't get any correct output. I used Mark IV. I want to use TEI for an project and use ConTeXt for the specific output. Is it a good choice? Daniel
