Re: [NTG-context] Does ConTeXt really support russian language?

So far I have tried using pdfetex: Sample 1: \enableregime[utf] \usemodule[lang-cyr] \mainlanguage[ru] \usetypescript[postscript][t2a] \setupbodyfont[postscript, 12pt] This one doesn't work on any of three systems described earlier. Latin transliteration instead of Cyrillic letters. Sample 2: \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[ru] \usetypescript[antykwa-torunska][t2a] \setupbodyfont[antykwa, 12pt] Works on ConTeXt Minimals, but does not work on TeX Live 2008 and teTeX 3.0. Latin transliteration instead of Cyrillic letters. Sample 3: \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[ru] \definetypeface [russian] [rm] [serif] [computer-modern] [default] [encoding=t2a] \setupbodyfont [russian] This one doesn't work on any of three systems described earlier. Latin transliteration instead of Cyrillic letters. In there a solution that will work on every of three distributions?

Serious bug?
by Fengnan Gao 26 Dec '08

26 Dec '08

I just installed ConTeXtMinimal using first-setup.bat. But it seems it has some serious bug that context even couldn't deal with such a easy document: \starttext Hello world! \stoptext What's the problem? Anybody can help me? Thanks. Fengnan Gao fnsteed(a)hotmail.com

Minimal installation help on windows
by Mehdi Omidali 25 Dec '08

Hi, Two months ago I was able to install context minimal on windows XP and Ubuntu but now I can not do that. After a fresh installation on windows by the GUI installer I faced the following halt while compiling a sample, here is the log file %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% (sample.tex ConTeXt ver: 2008.11.10 21:40 MKIV fmt: 2008.12.25 int: english/english system : cont-new loaded (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv) (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-mtx.tex)) system : cont-fil loaded (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-tmf.tex) (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.tex)) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded specials : pdftex loaded language : language en is active system : sample.top loaded (sample.top) (sample.tuo) (sample.tuo) systems : begin file sample at line 27 fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix otf fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix OTF fontnames | 161 tree files identified, 222 hash entries added, runtime 0.203 seconds fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix ttf fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix TTF fontnames | 5 tree files identified, 7 hash entries added, runtime 0.125 seconds fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix ttc fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix TTC fontnames | 0 tree files identified, 0 hash entries added, runtime 0.125 seconds fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix afm fontnames | identifying tree font files with suffix AFM fontnames | 76 tree files identified, 65 hash entries added, runtime 0.219 seconds fontnames | identifying system font files with suffix otf fontnames | globbing path C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/**.otf fontnames | identifying system font files with suffix OTF fontnames | globbing path C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/**.OTF fontnames | 0 system files identified, 0 hash entries added, runtime 0.063 seconds fontnames | identifying system font files with suffix ttf fontnames | globbing path C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/**.ttf fontnames | identifying system font files with suffix TTF fontnames | globbing path C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/**.TTF fontnames | 380 system files identified, 608 hash entries added, runtime 0.313 seconds fontnames | identifying system font files with suffix ttc fontnames | globbing path C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/**.ttc fontnames | identifying system font files with suffix TTC fontnames | globbing path C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/**.TTC fontnames | 1 system files identified, 4 hash entries added, runtime 0.063 seconds fontnames | identifying system font files with suffix afm fontnames | globbing path C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/**.afm fontnames | identifying system font files with suffix AFM fontnames | globbing path C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/**.AFM fontnames | 0 system files identified, 0 hash entries added, runtime 0.063 seconds) * %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% and at this point I just terminated the process.

Using dsrom with MKIV
by Aditya Mahajan 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

Hi, The dsrom math font only works partially with MKIV, and I do not understand what is happening. Consider the following example from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Doublestroke (which I wrote, after suggestions on the mailing list). One needs the fonts, which are part of TL and are also available at http://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/doublestroke/ %======================================================================= \loadmapfile[dstroke.map] \starttypescript [math] [modern,computer-modern,latin-modern,ams] [size] \definebodyfont [17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt][mm] [mb=dsrom12 sa 1] \definebodyfont [11pt,10pt,9pt] [mm] [mb=dsrom10 sa 1] \definebodyfont [8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt] [mm] [mb=dsrom8 sa 1] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [modern] [mm] [math] [modern] [ams] [encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[reset,modern,10pt] \definefamilysynonym [default] [doublestroke] [mb] \def\dstroke {\fam\purefamily {doublestroke}} \def\doublestroke#1{{\dstroke#1}} \starttext $\doublestroke{E} \doublestroke{1}$ \stoptext %======================================================================= This works correctly in MKII (Both E and 1 are shown in dsrom font). However, in MKIV the 1 is shown in LM Roman rather than dsrom. Is this a bug in context font handling, or a bug in the typescript? I am using: context version: 2008.12.01 10:25 This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.30.3-2008112812 Aditya

\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?
