Backgrounds has changed in latest lmtx
by Thomas A. Schmitz 23 Oct '22

23 Oct '22

Hi everybody, With the latest lmtx, my page backgrounds don’t work any more. I think Otared mentioned that the simpleslides module is having problems. I’m trying to figure out what is happening, but I don’t see any warnings or errors, just unexpected results (which is not a good thing). I’m starting with the fundamentals. Here is a fairly minimal example: compile with context --luatex to see the expected result and with lmtx to see what is wrong. All best Thomas \setuppapersize[A6,landscape][A6,landscape] \setuplayout[backspace=1cm, topspace=0.4cm, marking=off, width=13cm, height=9.7cm, header=0.6cm, footer=0cm, ] \startreusableMPgraphic{card} StartPage ; save p ; path p[] ; p[0] = ulcorner Page -- urcorner Page ; p[0] := p[0] shifted (0, -0.97cm) ; for i = 1 upto 18 : p[i] = p[i-1] shifted (0, -14.42pt) ; draw p[i] withcolor (0.5,0.5,0.5) ; endfor ; pickup pencircle scaled 2pt ; draw p[0] withcolor red ; StopPage ; \stopreusableMPgraphic \defineoverlay[Card][\reuseMPgraphic{card}] \setupbackgrounds[page] [state=repeat, background={Card}] \starttext Test \stoptext

issue with variable font
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Oct '22

23 Oct '22

Dear list, I have the following sample (using current latest from 22022.10.22 11:23): \definefontfeature [book] [axis={weight=700}] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm] [Commissioner][features={default, book}] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 25pt] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ex, align=center] EFT ΕΘΞ \blank[quarterline] \dontleavehmode \externalfigure[commissioner][width=.25\textwidth] \stopTEXpage \stoptext The external figure is the output from Inkscape 1.1.2. I attach the generated PDF document from the source above. The variable font from Commissioner can be downloaded from https://github.com/kosbarts/Commissioner/releases/download/1.000/Commission…. ConTeXt seems to misread the font strokes (paths [or whatever the right name might be]), since Inkscape has no problems with it. Could anyone be so kind to confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Formula has excess vertical spacing when in two column itemize
by Gavin 22 Oct '22

22 Oct '22

Hi List, I am getting better at adjusting the space in enumerations, but I just put a formula inside an enumeration, and the formula’s vertical spacing became excessive. I’m not sure how the enumeration caused this problem. \starttext Evaluate the following derivatives. \startitemize[n, columns, two, nowhite, after] \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx} x^2$ This is where the solution should be. Text answers look fine, but formulas have too much space above, below and between lines\dots. \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^3 + 2x \right)$ \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^{-2} \right)$ \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}\left( 4t^4 - 3t^{\onehalf} \right) $ \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t )$ \startformula\startmathalignment \NC \frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t ) \NC= \frac{d}{dt} 9 - \frac{d}{dt} 3t \NR \NC \NC= 0 - 3\frac{d}{dt} t \NR \NC \NC= -3\cdot 1t^0 \NR \NC \NC= -3 \NR \stopmathalignment\stopformula \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dp}\left( p^3 - 2p \right)$ \stopitemize \stoptext I’m also attaching a file with the above issue followed by the correct spacing in one-column for comparison. I’m using LMTX (today’s upload, ver: 2022.10.21 21:13 LMTX fmt: 2022.10.21) on an M1 Mac. Any ideas? Gavin

Hi, I updated lmtx ... there are a few fixes for issues reported on the list. In the perspective of updating math the - otherwise unchanged - mkiv variant has also been updated a little. No new commands, just some (already old) experimental font related features gone and replaced by a combined one inspired by what we do in lmtx. In our opinion on the average it should not come out worse.

Spacing in \unit
by Gavin 21 Oct '22

21 Oct '22

Hi list, I made a small example with all of the issues I am trying to fix for the \units command. The first formula below uses the \unit command, but produces strange spacing. The second formula produces the desired spacing, without using the \unit command. \showmakeup[mathglue] %\mathspacingmode=1 \starttext \startformula \unit{1.23e5 kg m^2/s^2} + \unit{8.64e5 W s} = \unit{9.87e5 newton m} \stopformula \startformula 1.23\mathord\times10^5\,{\rm kg\mathord\cdot m^2/s^2} + 8.64\mathord\times10^5\,{\rm W\mathord{\cdot}s} = 9.87\mathord\times10^5\,{\rm N\mathord{\cdot}m} \stopformula \stoptext I’m trying to fix four issues: - No space between the number and the following units. Should be a thin space. - No space between the units and the following symbol (+ and = above). Should be appropriate “bin" or “rel" space. - Too much space around the \cdot in the units. Should be treated like an “ord" when used to separate units. - Too much space around the \times in the scientific notation. Should be treated like an "ord" when used in scientific notation. (I'm not sure there is consensus on this.) Some of these seemed like things I could fix myself, so I dug into phys-dim.mkxl to see what I could do. The good news is that I didn’t break anything. The bad news is that nothing I did seemed to have any effect – including deleting phys-dim.mkxl entirely! I double checked that I was working on the same installation used for typesetting. Is the code used for \unit now somewhere else? These issues only occur in math mode, and \unit handles comma separators correctly, unlike \digit. I’d like to get some sort of temporary patch for at least some of these issues, even if I need to write it myself. I use \unit everywhere in physics problems sets for students and in keys that I share other teachers. Any guidance is appreciated! Gavin P.S. I’m working on a more comprehensive test file, but its not ready yet.

Setting the size of \small
by Leah Neukirchen 21 Oct '22

21 Oct '22

Hi, playing around with \definebodyfontenvironment with latest LMTX, I found this possibly buggy behavior: \definebodyfontenvironment[12pt][small=6pt] % x=6pt works here \setupbodyfont[12pt] \starttext normal {\tx tx} {\small small} \stoptext With \definebodyfontenvironment[12pt][x=6pt] I can resize \tx fine, but for \small it doesn't work. -- Leah Neukirchen <leah(a)vuxu.org> https://leahneukirchen.org/

Dear list, compiling the following sample with current latest (2022.10.15 10:37): \showframe \showstruts \setuppapersize[A6] \setupnotation[footnote] [alternative=serried] \starttext a\footnote{\input zapf} \stoptext I get the text in the footnote is displaced. It only happens with LMTX (not with MkIV) and not with previous latest. Could anyone confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Floating Figure in framed-environment
by Oliver Sieber 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Dear ConTeXt Users I am relatively new to context and I am suffering with a problem with the framed environment. I want to use a framed textbox for Definitions in my script. I also want to use floating figures. But this does not work and I haven’t found out why. Maybe I totally use it the wrong way. I would appreciate if someone could help me or has a tipp. Here is an example code, where the figure does not behave as expected, i.e. the figure is behind the text: \starttext \framed[corner=round, rulethickness=2pt, width=\textwidth, align=flushleft, offset=1em,background=color,framecolor=black] {{\bf Definition: Hello World} \blank[medium] \placefigure[right, none]{This is an example of a logo.}{\externalfigure[dummy]} Carrot cake tiramisu lollipop dragée lollipop marshmallow carrot cake sweet pastry. Tiramisu danish jelly tootsie roll tart gummi bears. Carrot cake chupa chups cake wafer lemon drops lemon drops tiramisu. Chocolate lemon drops sugar plum cheesecake jelly beans sugar plum. Tootsie roll cupcake jujubes pie chocolate bar bear claw chupa chups shortbread. Candy candy canes jelly-o jelly beans sugar plum muffin danish donut. Bonbon lemon drops powder jujubes marshmallow biscuit halvah. Powder carrot cake caramels chocolate cake carrot cake jelly-o. Topping danish tootsie roll gummi bears oat cake jujubes. Sweet candy canes cotton candy pie topping. Jelly-o carrot cake ice cream lemon drops macaroon gummies lemon drops tiramisu chocolate cake. Cupcake sugar plum shortbread gummi bears tootsie roll. Chocolate cake sugar plum macaroon candy canes chocolate bar donut cake icing tootsie roll. } \stoptext Best regards Oli
