latest beta has trouble loading fonts on OS X
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hi all, Hans, I have trouble using my own fonts with the latest beta on my OS X box. The problem appears to be that it is unable to create the database. When I run (on mtxrun --script fonts --list I get as the last lines of my output MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /Library/Fonts/**.dfont MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /System/Library/Fonts/**.dfont font loading failed for /System/Library/Fonts/Keyboard.dfont It appears this particular font cannot be loaded, so the entire database fails. On my linux laptop, everything works as expected. So my questions are: 1. What can be done about it? 2. Where is OSFONTDIR set on mkiv? I specifically do NOT want my system fonts used by ConTeXt; everything I want to use with TeX is in one of my texmf trees. How can I prevent mkiv from taking the system paths into account? All best Thomas

Aditya, thanks very much for your reply. Is the default font in context, a unicode font. The layout of my file is \startenvironment Layout \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[width=5.5in,height=10in,backspace=1.5in,topspace=0.5in,header=1.25in,footer=1.25in] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \setupcaption[figure][headstyle=\tfx\bf,style=\tfx] \setuphead[chapter][color=midnightblue,after=\vskip 2ex] \setuphead[subject][color=midnightblue] \setupitemize[stopper=),left=(] \setupitemize[headstyle=bold] definetextbackground[Quote] [backgroundcolor=linen, backgroundoffset=0.25cm, frame=off, location=paragraph, before=\vskip 1ex\startnarrower, after=\stopnarrower\vskip 2.5ex] \def\Ex#1{{\bf Exercise #1}} \def\Dfn#1{{\bf Definition #1}} \def\bb#1{\blackboard{#1}} \stopenvironment I do NOT get bold with $ {\bf x} $ command. It is upright, but not bold. Thanks for your help.

Can someone please tell me why the following does not center the text in the first row? Thanks in advance. \setupTABLE[row][1][align={middle}] \setupTABLE[column][1][width=2.5in,align={lohi}] \setupTABLE[column][2][width=3in,align={lohi}] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD {\bf Concept} \eTD \bTD {\bf Definition} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD {\bf Closure} of a set $ E \subset M $ ($ \text{cl}(E) $) \eTD \bTD \hskip 1em $ \text{cl}(E) = \cap\{ F : E \subset F, F \text{ is closed} \}$ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $ x $ is a {\bf contact point} or {\bf accumulation point} of $ E $ if \eTD \bTD \hskip 1em $ \forall \varepsilon > 0, B_{\varepsilon}(x) \cap E \neq \emptyset $ \eTD \eTR \eTABLE

Buglet in figure placement
by Willi Egger 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hi Hans, I was busy to place figures in a text. One of them should be placed left and surrounded by text. I saw then that the text was (partly) typeset over the figure. This has to do with \quotation{...}. If I place a \strut before the \quotation the text is correctly placed next to the figure. Would you be so kind to have a look into this matter? example: \startbuffer[ward] \input ward \stopbuffer \setuplayout[location=middle] \starttext \placefigure [left,none] [] {} {\externalfigure[hacker][height=.3\textheight]} \quotation{\getbuffer[ward]} % \strut\quotation{\getbuffer[ward]} \stoptext Running LuaTeX 0.42 and Context 14-08-2009 Kind regards Willi

loop textext and \MPstring{…}
by Andreas Harder 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Hi, I am trying to achieve the following: \setMPtext{1}{ABC} \setMPtext{2}{DEF} \setMPtext{3}{GHI} \starttext \startMPpage[offset=1ex,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] for i=1 upto 3: draw textext(\MPstring{i}) shifted(i*cm,i*cm) ; endfor; \stopMPpage \stoptext There is no error but no content either. What's wrong? Thanks Andreas

forced JavaScript injection (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Hi Hans, is there a switch to disable the default /JavaScript injection? For a good reason PDF/X doesn't allow JS in the document. And the preflight only checks the existence of the /JavaScript key, but not if there is any JS code in it. Best wishes, Peter

leqslant for Cambria Math
by Michail Vidiassov 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Dear All, using Cambria + Cambria Math (\usetypescript[cambria] \setupbodyfont[cambria]) makes Unicode math input and typesetting instantly possible (great for a newbie, even if not FSF-kosher) - but for missing glyphs for leqslant\geqslant. What is the right way to fix or work around such problems? (Complaining to MS does not count). Sincerely, Michail

Re: [NTG-context] problem with layers and line spacing
by Brian R. Landy 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Understood, but actually it is obeying the 12pt switchtobodyfont for the interline spacing in the backgrounds. It is not using either the layer's switchtobodyfont, which I think should be correct behavior, nor is it obeying the setupbodyfont. Note that the font size is correct, it is the interline spacing that is incorrect. Thanks, Brian On Aug 11, 2009, at 6:11 PM, Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> wrote: > Brian R.
