Is this font changing allowed/correct?
by Maurício 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Can I switch fonts like this? I know something is wrong because it doesn't work ('concrete' typeface is not used), but I would like to know if I'm in the right direction. Thanks, Maurício %%% \usetypescriptfile[type-gentium] \usetypescriptfile[type-otf] \usetypescript[gentium] \usetypescript[concrete] \setupbodyfont[gentium,20pt] \starttext Some text. { \switchtobodyfont[concrete] More text. } \stoptext %%%

\setupcaption stopper does not work in mkiv
by jm 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

hi, all! i have been trying to produce "Figure 1." in the figure caption of my document using mkiv and i just couldn't. i've searched through the ntg-context archives and the net for solutions but none seems to work. however, when i try the solutions posted (e.g. \setupcaption[figure][stopper={.}]) using XeConTeXt or MKII, i get the result i need. can anybody tell me how to go about this in mkiv? also, how do you go about producing a "Table 1.1" or a "Table 1-1" in the captions? couldn't find the answer in the manuals or in the web. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all! :-) joel mendoza

Commissioned work - we're looking for a ConTeXt person to help us finishing a 200+ pages multi-lingual art book (with Xetex?)
by Pierre Huyghebaert 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Dear list, I'm part of a design group Open Source Publishing, and we use ConTeXt for a few months now. The main goal is to produce a 200+ pages multi- lingual art book for which we have in the past months some exchanges with kind members of the list about font install and Xetex. I currently work more on the design itself. To finish on time, avoid loosing time on some hazardous/random errors, and also learning ConTeXt more "from the inside", we're looking for a person interested to have a commissioned work -for a fair price per day- to help us crossing the last technical problems (some of them still unknown and only potential). It's not easy for us to plan the exact amount of work, but it will certainly be closely linked to : - ConTeXt - Xetex (or another solution to use custom fonts) - Pictures - Final production of CMYK PDF's for the printer We work in Brussels but are able to travel to the Netherlands without problems. A first meeting will probably be helpful to go to more details. We'll try to push the project as far as possible this month and in July to be able to print the book in August. If you are, or you know a person interested in, do not hesitate to contact us, Pierre Huyghebaert +32 495 90 56 32 http://www.ospublish.constantvzw.org

Bug in mark to ligature handling
by Khaled Hosny 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Marks don't get positioned correctly unless all marks are supplied, if one mark is omitted, the next mark will be positioned at the first anchor point, not in the second one etc, in some cases it'll even not positioned on the anchor point at all. In the attached sample, the first word in the line is correct, subsequent ones aren't. (The font used: http://raqm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fonts/simplenaskhi/SimpleNaskhi.ttf) Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

label, caption and eps in figures?
by Pau 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hello, I am struggling to get something equivalent to this in ConTeXt: --------------------------------------------------------------------- \begin{figure} \resizebox{\hsize}{!}{\includegraphics[scale=1,bb=0 0 0 0,clip] {MyFigure.eps}} \caption{My Caption \label{fig.mylabel} } \end{figure} --------------------------------------------------------------------- I am especially having difficulties with caption (I would need a bold "Fig. 1" on it) and with the label. \ref{fig.mylabel} is not recognised (see below). Also, texexec seems to not understand the eps format The closest I have got is this: --------------------------------------------------------------------- \placeexternalfigure{\externalfigure[MyFigure][label=fig.mylabel,factor=broad,method=eps] \addlegendentry{My Caption} } --------------------------------------------------------------------- Any help will be appreciated a lot Pau

Is there any "leftoffset" and "rightoffset" possibilities for \framed (in natural tables) ?
by B. Tommy Jensen 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

I have the following challenge: I am using natural Tables (e.g. \bTABLE) and want to have a larger left/right offset than the top/bottom offset for the table cells. The "offset" parameter (which I believe is from the \framed command) works fine, but assigns equal offset to all sides of the table cell. Does anybody have a tip/solution on how to get individual left/right/top/bottom offsets? Regards, B. Tommy Jensen

possible problem with setuptex
by Hans van der Meer 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

When loading minimals with a shell script it appears that setuptex takes arguments from the calling shell script: script called as "script --current" contains: ... source ./setuptex ... This result in the following error message: mktexlsr: Done. The argument "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex/--current" is not a valid TEXROOT path. There is no file "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex/--current/texmf/ tex/plain/base/plain.tex" Setting "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex" as TEXROOT instead. I guess this cannot be the intent of setuptex. It was the intention to just use /Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex/ as the TEXROOT path. Is there a simple solution? Hans van der Meer
