sharp (#) and flat (b) signs
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, Maybe someone has an idea how to insert sharp (#) and flat (b) signs in the chord names? Example: F#m7b5 Currently I use F\#m7b5 sequence, but # and b symbols look unnatural, I want real ones. I use Minion Pro and standard Windows fonts. Regards, Vyatcheslav

polish sorting
by Philipp Gesang 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, I'm creating some sorting tables. While researching this topic I stumbled on the Polish dictionary sorting rules: if two strings are equal except for case then the one gets precedence that begins lowercase.[1] (This seems to apply to the Swedish order as well but I have no means to verify that. Apparently, my German dictionary (from 1991) follows the same rule without explicitly stating so.) Context seems to prefer it the other way round, so I modified two functions from sort-ini.lua to handle that; but I'm not happy with this solution. So my question: is there already, or could we have some mechanism to influence the details of sorting in context? Thanks for your help, Philipp [1] <ftp://ftp.gust.org.pl/pub/GUST/bulletin/03/02-bl.pdf>, p. 7. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Hi Hans, I notice the "scrp-cjk.lua" have been great changes in latest beta. Thanks for your hard work! It seems that we can adjust the parameters of glue by nodes.skipcodes. Could you give me an minimum example how to set the value of the skipcodes table in user's module? -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

Don't remember why, but I assume because there were no differences anymore and people could simply install the versions from Debian/stable ...

ConTeXt header oddities
by Peter McFarlane 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, hoping someone can help me with these couple of oddities I notice when processing some ConText documents: 1. Bodymatter and appendix header logo doesn't get printed on the last page of the section. Here are the relevant sections of the document: \def\HeadLogo% {\externalfigure[clean.png][height=20pt]} ... \startfrontmatter % logo on page of frontmatter - this one seems to work for all pages of frontmatter \definelogo[aitlogo][header][right][state=start,command=\HeadLogo] ... \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter % logo on page of bodymatter - this one puts the logo in the header of all but the last page of bodymatter \definelogo[aitlogo][header][right][state=start,command=\HeadLogo] ... \stopbodymatter \startappendices % logo on page of appendix - this one also puts the logo in the header of all but the last page of appendix \definelogo[aitlogo][header][right][state=start,command=\HeadLogo] ... \stopappendices Very strange and reproducible. Originally, I was using TeXLive 2005 when I inherited the project... since then I have upgraded to TeXLive 2009 but no change in behaviour. 2. There is _always_ a blank page at the end of the document, no matter how many pages there are, an extra one gets printed, with header but minus logo in the header, as described in 1 above.... Any help much appreciated, Regards, Pete

xits font in ~/.fonts
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, I cannot use xits fonts if they are placed in $HOME/.fonts. For example, if I use \setupbodyfont[xits] I get a series of messages define fonts > forced type otf of xits-regular not found define fonts > font with name xits-regular is not found define fonts > unknown font xits-regular, loading aborted define fonts > unable to define xits-regular.otf as \*xits11ptrmtfc* I also tried to use the fonts with simplefonts. \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[XITS] \setmathfont[XITS Math] falls back to LM math while \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[XITS] \setmathfont[XITS] gives XITS-Regular as the math font (and not XITS-Math). Other fonts in $HOME/.fonts, in particular cambria, work with both methods. \setupbodyfont[cambria] and \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Cambria] \setmathfont[Cambria] both work. Here is the output of mtxrun --script font --list "cambria*" --all cambria cambriabold /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriab.ttf cambriabold cambriabold /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriab.ttf cambriabolditalic cambriabolditalic /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriaz.ttf cambriaitalic cambriaitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriai.ttf cambriamath cambriamath /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambria.ttc index: 0 cambriamathnormal cambriamath /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambria.ttc index: 0 cambrianormal cambriaitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/microsoft/cambriai.ttf and mtxrun --script font --list "xits*" --all brushscriptxitalic brushscriptxitalic BrushScriptX-Italic.afm venturissansadfexitalic venturissansadfexitalic VenturisSansADFEx-Italic.otf venturissansadfno2exitalic venturissansadfno2exitalic VenturisSansADFNo2Ex-Italic.otf xits xits /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-regular.otf xitsbold xitsbold /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-bold.otf xitsbolditalic xitsbolditalic /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-bolditalic.otf xitsitalic xitsitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-italic.otf xitsmath xitsmath /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-math.otf xitsmathnormal xitsmath /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-math.otf xitsmathregular xitsmath /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-math.otf xitsnormal xitsitalic /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-italic.otf xitsregular xits /home/adityam/.fonts/xits-math/xits-regular.otf Any idea what is going on.

(Open) Solaris & minimals

Based on the following message: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Oracle-turns-its-back-on-OpenSolaris… ... is there still any interest for OpenSolaris support in minimals? (At the moment OpenSolaris binaries are supposed to work, even though most probably nobody uses them.) Mojca
