Problem with \setupinterlinespace
by luigi scarso 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

In this example interlines spaces look a bit strange to me \starttext \input knuth \begingroup \tfx\setupinterlinespace[reset] \starttyping function newCounter() local i = 0 return function() i = i+1 return i end end c1 = newCounter() print(c1()) --> 1 print(c1()) --> 2 c2 = newCounter() print(c2()) --> 1 print(c1()) --> 3 print(c2()) --> 2 \stoptyping \endgroup \input tufte \stoptext Can someone confirm this ? -- luigi

Mk IV setup, \showcharacters
by Peter Park Nelson 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hello, I'm a LaTeX user trying to move to ConTeXt Mk IV. I'm having trouble configuring my system on OS X. As a complete ConTeXt novice I'm not sure how to debug this, but I really want to get Mk IV working for some upcoming journal and book projects. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I understand that the current MacTeX/TeXLive 2009 testing versions have a broken Mk IV due to an old Luatex, so I installed MacTeX 2009 for testing and then upgraded Luatex to version 0.43 using the Contextgarden instructions for "Running Mark IV", regenerating the Context formats etc. using: "luatools --generate" "context --make --all" "context --make cont-en" (is this necessary if I do --make --all?) So far I can run a minimal test document and get pdf output, but I can't use \showaccents, \showcharacters, etc. -- I get an "undefined control sequence" error, The console output is below. I see the last line is referring to a .mkii file, I suspect that's the problem but I don't know how to get it to .mkiv... If this can be fixed, next I will work on getting TeXShop to use Mk IV; now it insists on using Mk II. Need an edited .engine file?

virtual fonts in luatex?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Hi all, I'm running into a problem, but maybe not all hope is lost. For my Greek stuff, I will sometimes need a "dotbelowcomb" accent. Only very few fonts have that, but no problem, in mkiv, I can simply take that from a follback font: \definefontfallback [GreekFallback] [name:texgyretermesregular] [0x0323] [force=no,check=no] Now I would like to remap the exclam character to this dotbelowcom. Again, no problem: with a fea file, I can write a sub rule sub exclam by dotbelowcomb but I can't combine both approaches: if the font doesn't have the character, I get an error about "invalid glyph index." In good old pdftex, it was possible to define a virtual font for such occasions, and I seem to remember that there's something similar in mkiv, but I'm unsure how it can be done. Any pointers? Thanks, and all best Thomas

Cambria integral operator
by Sebastian Sturm 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Hi all, I have been playing around a bit with the new ConTeXt Minimals and especially Cambria Math. I couldn't figure out, however, why the integral operator always comes out at about half the size of \sum or \prod. I couldn't find any relevant threads on the mailing list, but surely this is not the way it's supposed to be? Is there some list on the web showing what parts of math have been implemented, what still needs to be done (and, where someone with limited TeX knowledge could provide some assistance)? Best regards, Sebastian Attachments: minimal example (tex + pdf)

Dear all, I'm trying to change the color of the footer text. I typed: \def\footerstyle#1{\startcolor[red]#1\stopcolor} \setupfooter[style=\footerstyle] But I receive an error that I can't interpret. ! Argument of \footerstyle has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \doifdefinedelse #1->\edef \p!defined {#1} \ifcsname \detokenize \@EA {\p!def... \doconvertfont #1->\doifdefinedelse {\@letter@ #1} {\doifelsenothing {#1}\go... \doattributes ... \csname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4}\dostopattributes \dosingletexts ...atetexts {#1#2#5}{#6{}{}{}}}}}}} \egroup ... l.61 \stoptext ? X Does anyone knows what's wrong ? Thanks in advance, Antoine C.
