\input behaves different
by Hans van der Meer 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

MKii and MKiv differ in their behaviour of \input with respect to the .tex suffix. Consider the following program: \starttext reading file1.tex: \input file1\par reading file1a: \input file1a\par \stoptext Processing with mkii reads both files, but mkiv chokes on the second \input: ! I can't find file `file1a'. <to be read again> \par l.3 reading file1a: \input file1a\par This seems a very nasty difference to me, because it will necessitate me to rename a great many files. Is this behaviour intended? Hans van der Meer

Answering to a question on TeX-D-L I reckognized that "\attachment" and friends are only mentioned at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Verbatim_text#Embedding_the_source_code It's not in texshow and I couldn't find any documentation, also. It's defined in http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/core-int.tex and didn't get any source comments, too. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Does ConTeXt really support russian language?
by Andrey Riabushenko 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

I have spend three days trying to make ConTeXt show Cyrillic letters with zero success. I have tried to follow http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian precisely still I see only latin transliteration instead of Cyrillic letters. The funny thing that http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vietnamese gives absolutely different set of commands for internationalization. I have tried them as well with no luck. I have tried about 10 variants that I have found on wiki.contextgarden.net and ntg-context(a)ntg.nl maillist NONE of them produce russian letters just latin transliteration and empty text. I have tried so far: Fresh install of TeX Live 2008 on Windows XP Fresh install of TeTeX 3 on FreeBSD 7 Fresh install of Latest Context Minimals on FreeBSD 7 (installed on 22-12-2008) LaTeX, from the same installations of TeXlive 2008 and teTeX, works out box, just as simple as: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc} Does any can give me a working example of cyrillic text in conTeXt?

FunnyFrame in an enumeration.
by Fabrice 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

Hi, Playing with metafun, I saw the FunnyFrame example (page 239 MetaFun screen manual), where a framed is put around some paragraph and this frame has a small framed title inserted at the top of the framed paragraph. I would like to do a similar output but in the context of an enumeration. I am able to obtain the main frame by a proper definition of the \definenumeration, but not the title ! For clarity, a sample test file is provided below. I have tried to look in the mailing list for some examples that can help me, but no luck ! Do you think this is something feasible ? I wouldl take any hint ! Thanks, Fabrice. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %[ The main code of this example came actullay from a thread in 2000 by Hans.] % http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20000929.130642.dc591d10.en.html \setupcolors[state=start] \def\FrameText#1% {\startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p ; numeric w, h, o ; p := btex \strut#1 etex ; w := \overlaywidth ; h := \overlayheight ; o := \the\bodyfontsize/2 ; p := p shifted (4o,h-ypart center p) ; draw p ; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor red) ; draw (3o,h)--(0,h)--(0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(xpart urcorner p+o,h) ; draw boundingbox p enlarged(o,0) withcolor red ; setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled(w,h) ; \stopuseMPgraphic} \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame,width= \hsize] \def\StartFrame#1{\FrameText{#1}\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame {\stopFunnyText } \starttext \StartFrame{A nice place for a title} The value of variables inside this fence are isolated from the values outside. \StopFrame \defineenumeration[Definition] [width=fit, before=\StartFrame{}, after=\StopFrame, text={Definition} ] \startDefinition The text of the definition.

fullpage and XeTeX typescript
by Mohamed Bana 24 Dec '08

24 Dec '08

hi, 1. what's the equivalent of the \usepackage{fullpage} for ConTeXt? 2. it would be convenient if LuaTeX supported typescripts like XeTeX does instead of having to define font synonyms, e.g., \definetypeface[mainface][rm][Xserif][Warnock Pro] \definetypeface[mainface][ss][Xsans][Cronos Pro] \definetypeface[mainface][tt][Xmono][Inconsolata][default]%[rscale=0.9] % use only for Monaco %\definetypeface[mainface][mm][Xmath][palatino] \definetypeface[mainface][mm][math][palatino][default]%[encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 13pt]

mpost finds BAD TFM
by Hans van der Meer 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

NASTY PROBLEM WITH READING TFM FILES IN LATEST METAPOST A nasty problem has surfaced that Taco Hoekwater cannot solve, because it does not occur on his system. My system is Apple Macintosh 10.5.6 and I am using the command "sh build.sh" to compile metapost-1.101. After compiling and generating with "mpost --ini mpost" the error message below result when calling "make" in the manual-directory of the distribution. It signals a bad tfm file, I guess because the wrong number of bytes is read. Some 16/32/64 bit issue perhaps? Taco has not found it and as his compile now runs "lint-free" it is difficult to imagine what can be wrong. Are there people in this group (preferably on Macintosh) who find the same thing happening? And then are far more apt with debuggers than I am? Many thanks in advance. Hans van der Meer This says the logfile of the mpost run, the programcode involved is from source file tfmin.w: This is MetaPost, version 1.101 (kpathsea version 3.5.7) (mem=mpost 2008.12.22) 22 DEC 2008 17:53 **mpman (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/metapost/base/boxes.mp) !

different behavior between xetex and luatex
by Yue Wang 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

Hi, all. I expect different output in xetex and luatex using context. and I think the problem is quite serious although I do not speak Turkish. in turkish, fi can not be treat as ligatures and I can see luatex handle that quite well. however, in xetex, fi are treated as ligatures. I attach the files and output here. I don't know it is a bug in xetex, context or dvipdfmx:( Yue Wang
