That's why I end up with a "?" at the beginning of a new line. Thanks for the tip. Bob. ps: sorry for the bad "reply", but my subscription request has not been approved yet.

French typography is back
by Robert-André Mauchin 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hi again, I have been reading all threads about the French typography in this mailing list, however the current solution is alas far for perfect. The command \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] was a good idea, but it only deals with spacing. French typography rules not only tells us that there should be a narrow, or a normal space before some punctuation marks like :, ;, , !, ?, « or », but also that theses spaces must be non breakable otherwise line breaking could occur just before a punctuation mark (and this is very bad). Take a look at the following example: \section{Production locale indigène ou production romaine importée?} With the current frenchpunctuation command, we got: Production locale indigène ou production romaine importée ? We should obtain: Production locale indigène ou production romaine importée ? Of course we could achieve this manually by adding the correct NNBSP like this: \section{Production locale indigène ou production romaine importée\,?} But I believe the whole point of TeX is to let the engine make all the typographic stuff. The best would be to get rid off \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] and adapt the frenchb Babel module from Daniel Flipo (source and explanation here http://daniel.flipo.free.fr/frenchb/ ), as a module (t-french modification), or when loading the language, but I really don't know how hard it would be since it handles a lot more than just punctuation marks. Regards, Bob.

Condensed font variant setup
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 21 May '09

Hello, I have the following setup for the Minion Pro font: \starttypescript [serif] [MinionPro] \definefontsynonym [Serif][MinionPro-Regular.otf][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold][MinionPro-Bold.otf][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic][MinionPro-It.otf][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic][MinionPro-BoldIt.otf][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [MinionPro] \definetypeface [MinionPro][rm][serif][MinionPro][default] \stoptypescript I ocassionally want to use Minon Pro Condensed, too. How can I incorporate it in the typescript above? Or is it better to create separate MinionProCn typescript and use them both? Best, Vyatcheslav

Problem of mptopdf
by yi＠Mathematik.Uni-Marburg.de 21 May '09

21 May '09

hi, I tried use the "mptopdf" command to convert a figure generated by "mpost" into a .pdf file, and got following error: !pdfTeX error: pdftex.exe (file ec-lmr12): Font ec-lmr12 at 600 not found ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! The figures are generated from following metapost file: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% beginfig(2) label("Haha", (2,0)); draw (for i=0 upto 7: dir(135i)-- endfor cycle); endfig; beginfig(5) label(btex Haha etex, (2,0)); draw (for i=0 upto 7: dir(135i)-- endfor cycle); endfig; %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% But the ec-lmr12 file exists and can be located with "kpsewhich". It seems the problem is the "btex etex" environment, because there is no error with the first figure. I work under the mswin-context-standalone downloaded from Pragma-ADE, appreciate for any tip!

mtxrun initialization bug
by Alan BRASLAU 21 May '09

21 May '09

I did a fresh install of the minimals today and observed a fleeting, obscure mtxrun bug: $ context myfile did not find the script mtx-context.lua $ mtxrun --script /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/\ scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua myfile ran fine, as now does all subsequent runs of "context myfile". So something gets initialized, but is not found by default. You will only notice this upon a (totally) fresh install. Alan

bugs in math engine?
by Oliver Buerschaper 21 May '09

21 May '09

Dear list, the following are probably bugs in the new math engine as of yesterday's beta (2009.05.14 16:44): 1. The symbols for number sets in Cambria Math aren't taken from the double-struck variant. --- \usetypescript[cambria] \setupbodyfont[cambria] \starttext \math{\naturalnumbers}, \math{\integers}, \math{\rationals}, \math{\reals}, \math{\complexes}, \math{\primes} \stoptext --- 2. Vector arrows look somewhat strange in Cambria Math ... is this perhaps due to the font itself? --- \usetypescript[cambria] \setupbodyfont[cambria] \starttext The arrows should neither extend over the right bracket nor into the primes: \startformula{} [\alpha(\vec{k})\alpha(\vec{k}'),\alpha^\dagger(\vec{k}'')] \stopformula \stoptext --- 3. The command \implies is undefined (see previous posting). --- \starttext \startformula A\implies B \stopformula \stoptext --- Oliver

sorted data in mkiv
by Johan Sandblom 21 May '09

21 May '09

I am writing a booklet for use by junior doctors at the hospital where I work. It will contain random bits of data that is available from various online sources such as phone numbers, dosages of exotic drugs, referral routes and assorted things better written down than remembered. Much of it is in tabular form, and I have so far used natural tables. It is intended to be extremely compact so I make many adjustments to save space, such as using multiple columns where appropriate. Some of the things listed would benefit from being sorted such as phone numbers, but I would still like it to be presented in a table (with the added complication that the table will have two columns of names}. Using pseudocode I would like it to work like this: \phone{person c}{54321, 12345} \phone{clinic a}{12345, 54321} \phone{clinic c}{54321, 12345} \phone{person b}{12345} \phone{clinic b}{12345} \phone{person a}{12345} This should automatically be converted to \bTABLE \bTR\bTD person a\eTD\bTD 12345\eTD\bTD clinic a\eTD\bTD 12345, 54321\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD person b\eTD\bTD 12345\eTD\bTD clinic b\eTD\bTD 12345\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD person c\eTD\bTD 54321, 12345\eTD\bTD clinic c\eTD\bTD 54321, 12345\eTD\eTR \eTABLE presumably using something like 1. name and number added to a register 2. register is sorted on first field 3. t = total number of entries in register 4. l = number of lines in table, calculated as l=t\2 + t mod 2 3. create a table with l lines where each line has \bTR\bTD name(i) \eTD\bTD phone(i)\eTD\bTD name(i+l)\eTD\bTD phone(i+l)\eTR It would not surprise me if this is implemented somewhere in ConTeXt but I have been unable to find it. I would be very happy to see a solution using lua, but I lack the knowledge to implement it myself.
