Protrusion and expansion in simplefonts not working in latest beta?
by Vianney le Clément 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hello, Protrusion and expansion seem to be not working anymore when using the simplefonts module in the latest betas. I used to write something like \usemodule[simplefonts][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hanging,hz] \setmainfont[Tex Gyre Bonum] but that doesn't give me any of the nice effects anymore. Has something changed in the interface to access those features? BTW, I would definitely love an option in simplefonts to take care of this whole setup at once. Something like \setupmodule[simplefonts][microtypography=yes] to take care of the first two lines of the previous example. Or at least imply \setupalign[hanging] when setting the protrusion parameter and similarly for the expansion parameter. Thanks, Vianney

PDF's generated by XeTeX and LuaTeX, font licensing
by John Magolske 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Reading through the license of a commercial font I'm interested in, I see it stipulated for PDF files created that: "... a reader or user cannot create new content using one of our fonts in a PDF application ... the complete font is not embedded" And in an email correspondence with the vendor: "We just ask that you subset the font when exporting the PDFs ..." Do PDF's generated by XeTeX and LuaTeX "subset the font" in this way? Regards, John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact

How to use local setups in selected components of a project only
by Elias Oltmanns 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi all, it has been suggested on this list before, that people should use modes instead of \localenvironment and friends. Unfortunately, I don't seem to get either of them working as expected. Consider the following example: % project.tex \startproject project \environment environ \component compa \component compb \stopproject % environ.tex \startenvironment environ % global setups % ... \startmode[compa] \setuphead[section][number=no] \stopmode \stopenvironment % localenv.tex \startlocalenvironment [compa] \setuphead[section][number=no] \stoplocalenvironment % compa.tex \startcomponent compa %\enablemode[compa] \project project \localenvironment localenv \section{First section} Some text %\disablemode[compa] \stopcomponent % compb.tex \startcomponent compb \project project \section{Second section} More text \stopcomponent Compiling project.tex results in both sections being unnumbered. Compiling just compb.tex yields the expected result. Apparently, the setups of localenv stay in effect for all components processed subsequently. Commenting out \localenvironment and uncommenting \enablemode / \disablemode in compa.tex, however, does not solve the problem either: When I compile just compa.tex, everything works as expected. Compiling preject.tex, however, results in all sections being numbered. Obviously, the call to \enablemode comes too late. What is the recommended approach to such a problem? Do I have to undo local setups manually at the end of a component? Thanks in advance for any advice, Elias

\framed \placelist
by Andreas Harder 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi all, if I try to put \placelist in \framed an error (You can't use `\prevdepth' in restricted horizontal mode) occurs. \starttext \framed [background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] {\placelist[section]} \dorecurse{10}{\section{test #1} \input tufte } \stoptext So what is the way to put a background behind the list?

Trouble with customising section heads
by Elias Oltmanns 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi again, sorry for bothering you so persistently, but I really did try to hard to find a solution -- and failed: In the attempt to customise my section headings by means of \setuphead[section][...command=] I followed the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Figures_in_Headings#Figures_in_Headings . For the purposes of testing, I've installed a current minimals distribution. As it turns out, neither MkII nor MkIV processes the attached example as expected: MkII The table of contents is incomplete, even though the wiki says it shouldn't be; MkIV \currentheadnumber seems to be 0 all the time. There is a possibility, of course, that something is wrong with my setup of ConTeXt. But I just did another % ./first-setup.sh --context=current Thanks in advance for any hint, Elias %%%%%%%%%% \setuphead[section][textcommand=\Myhead,numbercommand=\Mynum] \def\Myhead#1{% Sect \currentheadnumber} \def\Mynum#1{} \starttext \completecontent \chapter{First chapter} \section{First section} Some text. \chapter{Second chapter} Introductory text. \section{First section} More text. \section{Second section} The end. \stoptext

Bugs in current beta

Hi all, for me (OS X 10.6.4) mtxrun –script server –auto do not work. If I click on a font name I get: MTXrun | request from: 127.0.0.1 MTXrun | requested action: /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua?selection=hoeflertextregular MTXrun | performing action: /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua?selection=hoeflertextregular MTXrun | requested file '/mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua?selection=hoeflertextregular' MTXrun | handling error 404: Not Found Another thing is the streams-module. Here is an example: \usemodule[streams] \definestreamlayer[test][method=overlay] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test] \starttext \showframe \startstreamlayer[test] \startcolumns \input knuth \stopcolumns \stopstreamlayer \setlayer[test][x=5cm,y=10cm]{\placestreamlayer[test]} \stoptext And here the error: ! Undefined control sequence. l.19 \defineoutputstream[\v!left] Greeting Andreas

subject kills bookmarks?
by Steffen Wolfrum 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, Why does subject kill bookmarks when used as first entry? See attached example. (I am not sure whether I misunderstood the structural logic that's used for bookmarks.) Steffen \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \setupbodyfont[mscore,12pt] \defineconversion [greekone] [α,β,γ,δ,ε,ζ,η,θ,ι,κ,λ,μ,ν,ξ,ο,π,ρ,σ,τ,υ,φ,χ,ψ,ω] \setuphead [chapter] [sectionsegments=2:2,conversion=numbers,sectionstarter={},sectionstopper={.}] \setuphead [section] [sectionsegments=3:3,conversion=characters,sectionstarter={},sectionstopper={)}] \setuphead [subsection] [sectionsegments=4:4,conversion=greekone,sectionstarter={(},sectionstopper={)}] \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection,subject][all][force=yes] \starttext \placelist[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection,subject][criterium=all] \subject{Vorwort}% Here bookmarks are killed? \chapter{Eins} % \subject{Vorwort}% Here it would work! \section{Klein A} \section{Klein B} \subsection{Alpha} \subsection{Beta} \chapter{Zwei} \stoptext

interface file parameter
by Philipp Gesang 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi all, in an interface xml definition, what is the notation for an argument value that is a filename? I'm just unsure whether to specify it as “cd:text” or “cd:name”. Example: ···8<·········································································· <cd:parameter name="file"> <cd:constant type="default-file.name" default="yes"/>  <cd:constant type="cd:text"/>  <cd:constant type="cd:name"/> </cd:parameter> ···8<·········································································· Also, is there a way to specify conditioned arguments (apart from separate setups)? E.g. parameter “p” has an effect iff parameter “q” is given as well? ···8<·········································································· <cd:parameter name="p" depends="q"> ... ···8<·········································································· Or are interface files obsolete by now due to texshow's migrating to the wiki?

beta: \setuplocalframed (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, \setuplocalframed is no longer defined in mkiv (but \localframed is still used in several mkiv files). Is this a mistake or is there a new mkiv interface for this? MTXrun | current version: 2010.08.10 17:14 Peter
