t-vim problem
by Zhaopeng Xing 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi Aditya, I am using t-vim 2008.09.15, but the following sample runs problem with the hightlighting file name. \usemodule[vim] \starttext \definevimtyping [RUBY] [syntax=ruby] \startRUBY #! /usr/bin/ruby # This is my first ruby program puts "Hello World" \stopRUBY \stoptext The message is saying: ! I can't find file `untitled-1-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp'. <to be read again> \relax \dodotypevimfile ...\input #2-vimsyntax.tmp\relax \egroup \@@vsafter l.8 \stopRUBY Please type another input file name: I checked the directory. The file should be named to untitled-1-vimsyntax.tmp instead of untitled-1-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp. Can you show me how to figure out such a problem? Thanks. -- Zhaopeng XING Tinbergen Institute

How to get the ligatures back in mkiv?
by Mojca Miklavec 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hello, A while back, script=latn has been removed from features=default. It was an extremely sad story, but at that time it was possible to redefine it at least. Now I cannot make it work any more, or at least I'm doing something fundamentally wrong, but I don't get the fi ligature with the following code: \definefontfeature [default] [script=latn,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes] \definefontsynonym [Garamond-Roman] [AGaramondPro-Regular] [features=default] I have switched to XeTeX for now (\font\a='Adobe Garamond Pro' at 15pt\a works OK), but that's not the solution. MtxRun | current version: 2008.10.03 23:45 Help anyone? Thanks a lot, Mojca

Hi all, from metafun manual, page 157, I took this example \startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright} picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ; setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ; draw p withcolor .8white ; xyscale_currentpicture(\the\leftmarginwidth,\the\textheight) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \setuptexttexts [margin] [] [\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext but compiling it I get some trouble texexec --pdf works as expected texexec --lua drops colors (COPYRIGHT is black) texexec --xtx gives no output (linux and FreeBSD) All normal?

relative file locations when compiling from different folders (in projects)
by Mojca Miklavec 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hello, I'm just wondering if there's some recipe about how to simplify the work when icluding other files and images in projects, when one is compiling from different folders. For example: articles/08/01/art-one.tex (product) articles/08/01/art-two.tex (product) articles/08/02/art-three.tex (product) articles/08/02/art-four.tex (product) articles/08/magazine_2008.tex (product) components/funny.tex (component) img/08/01/img-1.png img/08/01/img-2.png img/08/01/img-3.png img/08/02/img-2.png magazine_all.tex (project) layout.tex (environment) If I do > cd articles/08/01 > texexec art-one then images are expected to be set up as ../../../img/08/01 and if I need to \input somefile from the project (like "funny.tex"), even if that's a component, I need to provide some explicit location. But then I would want to compile > cd articles/08 > texexec magazine_2008 and then all relative paths break, even when specified in subfolders. Now I would need to set up ../../img/08/01 as image directory. Even though the article provides relative path, that path is now relative to the document I compile one folder lower in hierarchy, not to the document that defines the relative path (which is a bit weird, but I understad why it is so). Also ... is there some elegant way to include "funny.tex" from an article, so that it will work both in article and magazine? (I'm thinking about putting \def\projectroot{../../} at the top of files, but that's a bit ugly.) I can solve the problem in my own ways with some weird macros, like the ones that set image directory to "directory={../../../img/08/01,../../img/08/01,img/08/01}" at the top of every article file, but my solutions are all a bit ugly. (Another thing is that it needs to be flexible enough, so that I don't need to change every single article in case that I decide to move images or articles to another location in project.) If some elegance exists to solve that, I would welcome any hints or suggestions. But as I said: it's all solvable in one way or another, so this is just a low-priority request for sharing your ideas. I'm posting this because I would almost bet that there's some one-liner to solve it all :) :) :) Thanks, Mojca

showcase on mac?
by Frans Goddijn 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Willi Egger helped me get a minimal install working on my mac and I'm working on a collection of columns illustrated with pictures. It's been a while since I used Context so I want to download some basic manuals to refresh my memory and learn new things. On my Windows machine I can view/navigate and download manuals from the http://www.pragma-ade.nl/showcase.pdf page, but on my mac this doesn't work. In the Safari browser, nothing happens if I click on the "manuals" link. In Firefox, the showcase PDF is downloaded and I can open it. After allowing the file to go full screen, I get error messages for the links "there was an error opening this document/ the file cannot be found', execpt on the "quit" link ;-) Is there a simple thing I should change to make it work on the mac as well? Groet, Frans Goddijn www.kostverlorenvaart.nl

strange problem with mkiv (windows)

Hi, the following code breaks compilation here (XP SP3). \starttext \limitatefirstline{\underbar{WqTextdummy}}{8ex}{...} \stoptext [..] systems : begin file crop2 at line 2 !

If I remove the \underbar macro, things work ok. My first thought was, that this is related to attributes. *Strangely the example has no problems on contextgarden.* Can anyone with Windos OS test, if this is a general (windows) problem? Thanks. Best wishes, Peter

Fails to load certain Chinese fonts
by Yanrui Li 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi, In MkIV of last beta version (2008.10.03 23:45), when I was loading certain Chinese fonts such as AdobeSongStd-Light or SimSun, LuaTeX happened to be interrupted. As the following example: \definefontfeature [zh][mode=node,script=hang,lang=zhs] \definefontsynonym [Song][name:AdobeSongStd-Light][features=zh] \definefont[myfont][Song at 12pt] \starttext \myfont 中文~English~之间的间隔\par 中文\;English\;之间的间隔 \stoptext I got such informations of error: load otf | loading: /usr/share/fonts/adobe/AdobeSongStd-Light.otf load otf | warning: Bad call to gww_iconv_open, neither arg is UCS4 (EUC-CN->UTF-8) load otf | warning: Bad call to gww_iconv_open, neither arg is UCS4 (EUC-CN->UTF-8) load otf | warning: Bad call to gww_iconv_open, neither arg is UCS4 (EUC-CN->UTF-8) load otf | warning: Bad call to gww_iconv_open, neither arg is UCS4 (EUC-CN->UTF-8) MtxRun | fatal error, message: luatex: execution interrupted Now, I can't compile any Chinese document using MkIV.

Re: [NTG-context] Fails to load certain Chinese fonts (Yanrui Li)
by Yanrui Li 07 Oct '08

These problems which include lousy code of certain Chinese fonts in pdf that is generated by MkIV, seem to connect with LuaTeX. >From revision 1525 to 1535, LuaTeX can always work very well except text of using SimSun font is lousy code in pdf. After cleaning $TEXMFCACHE, I compiled revision 1540 of LuaTeX and used it, and then I encountered fails to load almost Chinese fonts. However, if I don't clean $TEXMFCACHE generated by revision 1535 of LuaTeX and use revision 1541, there is no any problem.
