ConTeXt ver: 2008.07.14 18:07 MKIV
by Willi Egger 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Hi LUA-users, Yesterday I installed a complete new set of minimals on my MAC (OSX 10.4). Now I get very strange results wit MATPOST. The file compiled contains a large definition which is used as an inclusion to produce a series of similar drawings with different parameters. When compiling the document with texexec --lua the fist page is ok. The second and the following pages contain each page all the previous drawings on top of each other. If the same drawing-set is compiled with texexec in MKII mode (This is MetaPost, version 1.085 (kpathsea version 3.5.6dev), some elements are distorted. It concerns elements, which are rotated and shifted. The fullcircle contained in the drawing is distorted too. Further also this document contains on the second and following pages the drawings from the previous pages stacked. This file compiles correctly with This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.1 (Web2C 7.5.6) (format=cont- en 2008.3.21) 16 JUL 2008 14:38 ConTeXt ver: 2008.03.11 23:55 MKII fmt: 2008.3.21 int: english/ english I tried to make a small test file. However this did not show the problem described above. For someone who want to test I can provide the source and my pdfs offline. Willi

inter-word spacing (initials)
by Alan Bowen 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

I have the latest ConTeXt and am using mkii. One used to be able to reduce the spacing after an initial by by typing “.\<space>”, but this no longer seems to work. Compare the inter-word spacing in \starttext A. E. Samuel\crlf A.\ E.\ Samuel \stoptext If the is a difference here, I am having trouble seeing it; and on a typeset page, the gaps after the initials just seem too big. In general, I find that the spacing after certain characters ---e.g., “)”---has been increased of late. Is this in fact the case? Or should I go back to my old glasses? Cheers, Alan

Latest beta + LuaTeX
by Otared Kavian 17 Jul '08

Dear magicians, I just updated to the latest betas (ConTeXt and LuaTeX taken on svn://scm.foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex and I tried to build luatex on my machine (MacBook Pro under Mac OS X 10.5.4): everything goes fine, the binary is there, that is in trunk/build/texk/web2c/luatex but trying to make the formats (as I did usually thanks to the directives given by Thomas Schmitz), I get an error message saying this: ! Emergency stop. \lastexpanded ->\endtemplate \global \everyloadluacode {} \ctxluabyteload ..."#2" } \stopruntimectxluacode } \ctxlua { lua.bytedata[\th... \registerctxluafile ...se \ctxluabyteload {#1}{#2} \fi \global \everyloadluac... l.165 \registerctxluafile{luat-env}{1.001} mkiv lua stats : used config path - /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/ web2c/texmf.cnf mkiv lua stats : used cache path - /tmp mkiv lua stats : input load time - 0.067 seconds mkiv lua stats : current memory usage - 6144468 bytes mkiv lua stats : node memory usage - 18 glue_spec, 1 if_stack, 1 dir However ConTeXt mkii works fine. Since I don't use yet extensively mkiv, I am just reporting the issue to inform the community. With my best regards: OK

fonts (in luatex) (again)
by Andrea Valle 17 Jul '08

17 Jul '08

Following Wolfgang's advice (thanks) I have followed the delicious thread. So I have 1. downloaded the fonts and installed automatically via macosx Fontbook app (they are available in my system) 2. I have created a file named type-delicious.tex containing: \starttypescript [sans] [delicious] \setups[font:fallback:sans] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [Delicious-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [Delicious-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [Delicious-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [Delicious-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [Delicious-Caps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [delicious] \definefontsynonym [Delicious-Regular] [name:Delicious-Roman] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Delicious-Italic] [name:Delicious-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Delicious-Bold] [name:Delicious-Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Delicious-BoldItalic] [name:Delicious-BoldItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Delicious-Caps] [name:Delicious-SmallCaps] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [delicious] \definetypeface [delicious] [ss] [sans] [delicious] [default] \stoptypescript (which I do not understand: but that's another story) I have saved the file under the same folder of tex file I'm working at 3. then I have called: context --generate 4. In my tex file I have added: \usetypefile [delicious] \usetypescript[delicious] \setupbodyfont[delicious] 5. while compiling I'm having a problem with delicious. Log attached ?

luatools cache problem (beta)

hi, i'm currently running the context beta from 07.07.2008 with the windows minimals from 10.07.2008. all my (quick) tries to update to a later beta version have failed. my main problem is, that luatools.lua doesn't work properly any more; if i start 'luatools --generate' inside eshell (zshell clone?) the program simply hangs (does nothing). if i use the normal dos box with setuptex.bat i get ----- R:\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua>luatools --generate LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOLOC set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin/bin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTODIR set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to r:/tex LuaTools | variable TEXMFCNF set to r:\tex\texmf{-local,-context,}/web2c LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf-context/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Should I create the cache path r:/tex/texmf-cache?

Hi, I am trying to use fontfeatures contained in my new otf-font Seravek. I am getting Seravek in the file but no way to activate the oldstyle figures and the small caps. :-( Can someone give m a clue?

Part dividers, American style.
by John Culleton 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Per the Chicago Manual of Style divider pages and their blank versos do not show page numbers but are included in the page count, just like any other pages. However the \part macro excludes them from the page numbering sequence altogether. And my current customer at least wants roman rather than arabic numerals. After many false starts I came up with this macro: ------------------------------------------------------------- \def\Part#1#2#3{% \page[yes] \ifodd\pageno \else \noheaderandfooterlines \null \page[yes] \fi \noheaderandfooterlines \writetolist[part]{}{#1: #2 #3} \nimbux \null \vskip 2in \centerline{Part #1} \vskip 15pt \centerline{#2} \vskip 15pt \centerline{#3} \vfil \rm \page[yes] } ---------------------------------------------- The first parameter is the roman numeral. Automatic numbering is not needed for just five parts. Note colon inserted for the TOC. It isn't needed on the page itself. If the part title is short then the third parameter is simply left blank. \nimbux has a simple font defintition. A typesectipt would have been too much effort for this single use: \font\nimbux texnansi-n019044t at 33bp %Nimbus bold sans condensed -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm
