Postscript Type1 fonts & MK IV
by John Magolske 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

I'd like to get some Postscript Type1 fonts working with MK IV (installed via the minimals under Linux). I placed the *.pfb fonts in ~/.fonts and did: mtxrun --script fonts --reload mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=* ...but the output doesn't show any of the *.pfb fonts. The *.ttf fonts installed alongside them in ~/.fonts do show up, and I can create PDFs with those ttf fonts using the `context` command, but I'm not sure how to proceed with the Postscript fonts. Thanks for any suggestions, John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact

ConTeXt meeting Lua tutorials
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi all, Today I started preparations for my activities at the ConTeXt meeting. There are two small lua tutorials in the program, and I am looking for input on both. There is one that is supposed to be a general beginner's introduction, and one specifically about fonts. For both, I am looking for input on what subjects I should cover? Since both tutorials will end up as articles/wiki pages, it makes sense to ask everybody on the list for input (but requests by actual attendees will be scored considerably higher). Best wishes, Taco

Centered framed text in two columns
by Flavien Lambert 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Dear All, I would like to vertically center a framed text in front of an item list, something like : - item - item - item my framed text - item - item I tried with two columns then by defining a paragraph but without success. I would also like the columns to have a fixed width like 70%-30% of the textwidth. Any hint ? Thanks in advance, -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way." R.P. Feynman.

Migrations: exactly LaTeX margins --> ConTeXt margins
by Xan xan 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi, I want to "migrate" one LaTeX document to ConTeXt document. I only want to put the _exact_ margins LaTeX use for \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}. Anyone could say me the exact values I have to put in **layout**? Thanks, Xan.

definedelimitedtext options
by xancorreu 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi, Another time ;-) I have \definedelimitedtext [abstract] [leftmargin=yes, spacebefore=line, style={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]},after=\normal] and I want to indent more the abstract. What are the options of definedelimitedtext? In the manual there is no mention for that. Is there any way of doing the same as \startnarrower[2*middle,3*middle]? Thanks in advance, Xan.

Hi! Why not to use my Win installer? ;) @Mojca or someone at the server: I see that http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalIns… contains quite old version of the installer. Can you please update it if I send you the files? -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

startenumerate in romans a la LaTeX
by Xan 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi, I just want to simulate the behaviour of \usepackage{enumerate} ... \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item \end{enumerate} in ConTeXt. That is: - items in (i), (ii), .... - right indentation of items: in context items start at the same point. In LaTeX is the item text itself who starts at the same point, not the romans. I try: \defineenumeration [mylema] [text={Lemma}, % Què es mostra before={\blank[big]}, % abans de lema, un bigskip after={\blank[big]}, % després de lema, un bigskip headstyle=bold, % Negreta per la capçaleras %between=\blank, % Entre Lemmes una línia en blanc titledistance=.5em, % espai entre número i parèntesis. textdistance=.5em, % espai entre ) i text stopper={.\space}, % Com acaba. Després de parèntesis un '.' location=serried, width=fit, % que ocupi tot l'espai style=italic, % estil del text title=yes, % si puc posar o no arguments opcionals titlestyle=bf, % estil del títol way=bytext, % enumerar en tot el document conversion=numbers,indenting=yes] % enumera amb arabic %enumera els lemes per seccion [...] \startmylema Let $G$ be a group with a finite presentation ${\cal P} = \langle X \mid R \rangle$. Then for all null-homotopic words $u, v$ in ${\cal P}$, \setupitems[align=right] \startitemize[r][left=(,right=),stopper=] \item $\text{area}(u \cdot w) = \text{area} (w \cdot u)$ \item $\text{area}(wuw^{-1}) = \text{area}(w)$ \item $\text{area}(u \cdot w) \leq \text{area}(u) + \text{area}(w)$ \item $\text{area}(u) = \text{area}(u^{-1})$ \stopitemize \stopmylema but the numbers are left-aligned and they bit the text. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Xan. PS: Please CCme.

mkiv and Reverse list of abbreviations
by Otared Kavian 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi everyone, I have three questions regarding the use of abbreviations in mkiv: it seems that there is a difference between the way in which mkii and mkiv treat the definitions of synonyms. If one considers the minimal example: % ----- begin abbrev-test.tex \definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort] \starttext \abbreviation{LCTVS}{Locally Convex Topological Vector Space} \abbreviation{EEG} {Electroencephalogram} \abbreviation{ERP} {Event-Related Potentials} \abbreviation{TVS}{Topological Vector Space} Test inshort: \inshort{EEG}, \inshort{ERP}, \inshort{TVS}, Test infull: \infull{EEG}, \infull{ERP}, \infull{TVS}, \infull{LCTVS} \completelistofabbreviations \stoptext % ----- end abbrev-test.tex my questions are the following: 1) How can I tell mkiv that I want \infull{EEG} result in Electroencephalogram not in "ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM"? 2) It seems that the order in which \infull and \inshort are defined in \definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort] is different in mkii and in mkiv: is this observation correct? 3) Is it possible to obtain, beside the list of abbreviations, another ordered list in which the full variant is in the first column while the short variant is in the second column? That is something like: \completeReverseListOfAbbreviations resulting in Electroencephalogram EEG Event-Related Potentials ERP Locally Convex Topological Vector Space LCTVS Topological Vector Space TVS Thanks in advance for any help or insight. Best regards: OK
