by Alan Stone 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

On page 17, the ConTeXt manual mentions the commands \startfrontmatter - \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter - \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter - \stopbackmatter What's the precise use and benefit of these commands, other a cleaner project structure ? Alan

I use context+luatex to write farsi texts. A problem that I have been faced is that some characters (those that are in farsi and not in arabic like "Gaf", "Kaf", "Ya" and "Che") are shown only in isolated form. How can I solve this problem. I use ubuntu and latest context and luatex. Thanks

MinionPro Opticals
by Ulrich Dirr 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

Hi, does there exist a package (typescript) for Adobe's MinionPro (with optical)? By now I've used LaTeX for MinionPro because of the MinionPro package which has a lot of features ... How can I define a command for setting text in small caps with some user defined tracking value? Best regards, Ulrich

TUG 2008
by Taco Hoekwater 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

Hi all, For those of you have not aware of this yet: in a few hours Hans and me will leave for TUG 2008 in Cork, Ireland. Partly because of a busy programme but mostly because the internet connectivity at Cork appears to be less than perfect, we probably won't be able to answer any questions (or at least with considerable delay) for the next five or six days. Best wishes, Taco

Highlight changes
by John Devereux 20 Jul '08

20 Jul '08

Hi, Is there a way to automatically "highlight changes" to a document, such that the resulting PDF has markers showing changed areas? Bars in the margin or some such. Or more generally some other way to easily communicate what has been changed (other than a diff on the source). -- John Devereux
