hz MkIV
by Steffen Wolfrum 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi, in MkIV hz is bound to the found (thus the speed increase). Now, how do I assign different degrees of hz to different areas? Say, moderate hz in the normal text and more drastic in controlled situation, like this: % main text: \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \setupalign[block,hanging,hz] % and in controlled situation: \setupwhatever[align=hzXXL,style=...] This doesn't work: fonts.expansions.classes['NormalQuality'] = { stretch = 1, shrink = 1, step = .5, vector = 'default', factor = 1 } fonts.expansions.classes['DrasticQuality'] = { stretch = 2, shrink = 2, step = .5, vector = 'default', factor = 1 } \definefontfeature[hz][default] [protrusion=pure,expansion=sstquality,mode=node,script=latn] \definefontfeature[hzXXL][default] [protrusion=pure,expansion=sstquality,mode=node,script=latn] \usetypescript[postscript] \definetypeface[postscript][rm][serif][times][default][features=hz]% <- what to do with hzXXL ???

Hi, in current luatex snapshot (LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.30.0-2008093012, ConTeXt ver: 2008.10.03 23:45) hz seems to be broken (unless I made a typo here): \definefontfeature[hz][default] [protrusion=pure,expansion=quality,mode=node,script=latn] \usetypescript[postscript] \definetypeface[postscript][rm][serif][times][default][features=hz] \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt] \setupalign[line,block,hanging,hz] \starttext \showframe \input tufte \stoptext Steffen

Hi, I want to type a VB code file named "vba.bas" in context. After read the manual, the following codes seems not working well for me. Any suggestion? There are two features desired: language-specific color typing and small style. Thanks. \definetyping[vb] \setuptyping[vb][style=small,option=color] \typefile{assignment1.bas}{vb} -- Zhaopeng XING Tinbergen Institute

Mojca, Miktex, and seeming success!
by dwarnold45＠suddenlink.net 03 Oct '08

Mojca, OK, saw your new post on: http://blog.miktex.org/post/2008/05/ConTeXt-support.aspx So, I extracted cont-tfm.zip to c:\Contet, used Miktex2.7->Settings to add it as a Root, refreshed the filename database, but the formats will still not build in Miktext2.7->Settings->Format cont-en.pdftex. Creating the cont-en.pdftex format file... Running pdftex... This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.4 (MiKTeX 2.7) (INITEX) entering extended mode ("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\context\config\cont-en.ini") ! Emergency stop. <*> cont-en.ini No pages of output. Transcript written on cont-en.log. makefmt: pdftex failed on cont-en.ini. initexmf.EXE: The operation failed for some reason. And my new format attempt won't build either: ("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\context\patterns\lang-hu.pat" ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pattern memory=300000]. l.1243 ^^c3^^a1h1ors No pages of output. Transcript written on cont-en.log. makefmt: pdftex failed on cont-en.tex. initexmf.EXE: The operation failed for some reason. Finally, I gave up on trying to use Miktex2.7->Settings to build the formats, opened a DOS box, and typed: $ texmfstart texexec --make --all I refreshed the filename database, now things seemingly work. This file: \starttext Hello, World! \stoptext Does compile with: $ texmfstart texexec --pdf junk.tex And this file: input mp-tool beginfig(1); numeric u; 10u=4in; drawdblarrow (-5u,0)--(5u,0); label.rt(btex $\theta$ etex, (5u,0)); drawdblarrow (0,-5u)--(0,5u); label.top(btex $\phi$ etex, (0,5u)); endfig; end. Does compile with: $ mpost junk.mp And more importantly, mptopdf now seemingly works, as I can now do: $ mptopdf junk.1 Which produces junk-1.pdf and opens correctly with the correct fonts. So, we'll see how this stands up .... Thanks for the help. Still open to further suggestion if any critique of my method. D.

new beta
by Hans Hagen 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

hi, - the current beta has some speedups and mem improvements for fonts - for huge fonts (like chinese) general mem consumption can be made smaller (at the cost of some runtime) by \ctxlua{garbagecollector.enabled=true} although this is not that neccessary when you used the upcoming beta Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

context --result=... overwrites pdf-file
by Peter Münster 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hello, The new context script overwrites a pdf-file when used with the --result option. Example: %%% file test.tex %%% \starttext bla \stoptext context test ### this creates test.pdf context --mode=blub --result=test-blub test ### this removes test.pdf -> nor more test.pdf file ... :( Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
