Lucida again
by Eric DÉTREZ 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hello I know that I disturb a lot this list, please forgive me. I tried to install a new mac. I donwloaded mactex (2008) I installed lucida fons in ~/Library/texmf/ then I typed "sudo mktexlsr" and "sudo updmap-sys --enable Map lucida.map" in terminal All is fine with plain TeX, I can use my lucida fonts. I copied all my afm and pfb files in a directory then I typed "texfont --fontroot=/Users/Ericd/library/texmf --ve=bh -- co=lucida --ma --in --expert" from this directory in terminal. (don't understand the --ma --in -- expert things) It made a lot of job, map files, tfm files. The texnansi-bh-lucida test file seems to work (it's a long task, I only asked to shox LucidaBright). BUT \usetypescript[lucida][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[lucida,10pt] doesn' show me Lucida in my pdf. What did I do wrong ?

ConTeXt and TeXlive 2008
by Marcin Borkowski 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi all, I've just downloaded and installed the long-expected TeXlive 2008:). My question is: is it's ConTeXt up-to-date? What about ConTeXt upgrades? (TeXlive 2008 can upgrade it's packages automatically; does anyone know how long will it take for new ConTeXt versions to propagate to TeXlive?) It would be much more convenient not to have two distinct TeX installations: one for LaTeX and one for ConTeXt... Thanks in advance -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.faculty.fmcs.amu.edu.pl) Jesus is alive. What about you?

Verbatim with color background
by B. Tommy Jensen 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi, I have a short question about verbatim areas (\starttyping): I have been trying to define a background color to verbatim areas in a document. My method so far is to define a textbackground named "verbatim" and refer to this in the setuptyping method: \setuptyping[typing][margin=0.5cm,bodyfont=8.0pt, before={\starttextbackground[verbatim]}, after={\stoptextbackground}] This works only partly. For example, when using long verbatim texts that spans over more than one page, the background color disappears on the last page. Is there any other easy way of controlling the background color on verbatim areas? Best regards, Tommy Jensen

sometxt in mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

I think this message mysteriously disappeared yesterday (at least I didn;t see it); if you've seen it before, please excuse the double post! Hi all, I was just wondering if this is a bug or if it's something that still needs to be implemented: the example on p. 10 of Mojca's sometxt MyWay works in mkii, yet in mkiv, it doesn't: \starttext \startTeXtexts \dorecurse{12}{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{\recurselevel}} \stopTeXtexts \startMPcode numeric r; r = 1.5cm; draw fullcircle scaled 2r; for i=1 upto 12: draw (origin--down) scaled 4pt shifted (0,r) rotated -30i; label(sometxt(i), up scaled .75r rotated -30i); endfor; \stopMPcode \stoptext in mkiv, I get no labels and the somewhat cryptic sentence "[do we need TeXtexts in MkIV]" on my pdf. Anybody able to answer this or my question? All best Thomas

Greek letters in math with XeTeX
by Flavien Lambert 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

Dear all, I try to use Open Type fonts with ConTeXt and XeTeX (I recently did the same with LaTeX using fontspec and mathspec packages). From the web site, I managed to use them for standard text as well as roman alphabet in math. Unfortunately, greek letters stay printed with the Latin Modern font. >From examples of the web site, I tried the following lines but without success. In a preceding post, there was a similar question but with the luatex engine. Thanks for your help ! \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][GFS Didot] \definetypeface[myface][mm][math][GFS Didot] \starttext Normal text. \startformula \alpha + \beta = 10 \stopformula \stoptext -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way."

minimal update problem
by Zhaopeng Xing 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

Hi, I am using context minimal on a linux box. After I created a directory named "texmf-local" under $TEXMFROOT and run command: ctxtools --updatecontext All downloaded files went to texmf-local and no update to the folder texmf-context. I do not like this way of updating, because I keep personal data/file in texmf-local. Can anybody tell me how to avoid such problem? -- Zhaopeng XING Tinbergen Institute

Hi, re: http://source.contextgarden.net/symb-uni.tex What does, for example, "0x2000: Requires UnicodeRegular20" mean in \startsymbolset[Unicode Additional Punctuation] % 0x2000: Requires UnicodeRegular20 in the context of \usesymbols[uni] \def\mySymbol{\symbol[Unicode Additional Punctuation][*symbolname*]} Thanks, Alan
