I presume that \hyphenatedfilename is for use with filenames that already have hyphens in them? Mine don't, but I want them to split. Perhaps splitting filenames is frowned upon - if so, what is the best way to put them into documents? Or perhaps I should use shorter filenames, but why should I compromise readability? One example is "Transfer functions for PID and KF controllers.xmcd" Any ideas or comments? Richard

I am using \filename to type-set filenames. Some of these are very long (greater than 30 characters) and overhang the right hand margin, sometimes even disappearing off the edge of the page. The first line break is just before the full stop. There are usually plenty of spaces in the names. Can I get ConTeXt to put a line-break into filenames? Thanks, Richard

The problem of updating context manually using cont-tmf.zip
by Jianning Dong 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hello everyone. I'm using TeXLive2008, and I have just updated my ConTeXt for Chinese supporting using the file downloaded from http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip. I just unzipped it into texmf-local and execute the command: texmfstart texexec --make --all I think everything is OK, but the problem comes. The version of ConTeXt is still 2008.05.21 15:21: context --version MtxRun | main context file: /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex MtxRun | current version : 2008.05.21 15:21 I don't know the exactly meaning of "main context file". I think it should be the file I just unzipped into /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local. The version of ConTeXt should be 2008.08.05. Anyone can help me updating the ConTeXt? -- Hello world! Every day is a new day.

Keeping section head with index
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

I want to put an index in its own section using \section{Index} \placeindex I cannot use \completeindex because that starts a new chapter, not section. Unfortunately, the header often gets separated from the index, being left as the last line on the page. I searched the mail archive and found a suggestion to use: \setuphead[section][before={\testpage[4]}] but this affects the vertical spacing of all section heads. Can anyone either: 1) suggest an alternative way of keeping the section head with the index, or 2) show me how to maintain the vertical spacing of headers when using the above construct. Thanks very much. Richard

Luatex fails to load a font
by Eyke Höft 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hi! I added a font called TypoOrnaments.ttf to my context-tree. Calling "mtxrun --script fonts --list" gives the result typoornaments TypoOrnaments TypoOrnaments.ttf typoornamentsmedium TypoOrnaments TypoOrnaments.ttf Now I want to use it in my document with \definefontsynonym [typoOrn] [file:TypoOrnaments.ttf] [features=default] \definefont [typoO] [typoOrn sa *] -> {\typoO test} But luatex complains that it cannot find the font. define font | forced type ttf of TypoOrnaments not found define font | font with name TypoOrnaments is not found define font | unknown font TypoOrnaments, loading aborted Same thing with "name:...". My code works when I change the definition for example to texgyrebonum-regular.otf. Any ideas why the other font isn't working? Thanks in advance, Eyke

Interesting Bug with LuaTex, \setfontfeature{oldstyle}, colors and tikz
by holzminister 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Hi! I wanted to use colors in my tikz-graphics. The following example gives a nice red line with "texexec": >>> \enableregime[utf-8] \mainlanguage [de] \setupcolors[state=start] \usemodule[tikz] \definecolor[zeug][r=1, g=0, b=0] \starttext \starttikzpicture \draw [zeug, line width=1ex, cap=round] (-7.65cm,-1mm) -- (7.65cm,-1mm); \stoptikzpicture \stoptext >>> When I compile my document with "texexec --lua" I get a black line. Adding "\setfontfeature{oldstyle}" to the preamble causes "texexec --lua" to break with a failure. >>> Package pgfbase: Error! Unsupported color model `'. Sorry. error: ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-otf.lua:1998: attempt to index local 'tfmdata' (a nil value) . \endpgfpicture ... \pgf@y }\endgroup \hss \egroup \pgf@insertlayers \endgrou... >>> Does anyone know how this comes?
