problem using protrusion and hz
by David C. Walden 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi, Adytia pointed me to some examples at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Protrusion I tried the following code with a couple of page test page, ----- \definepapersize[specialbook][width=5.5in,height=8.5in] \setuppapersize[specialbook][specialbook] \setuplayout[height=7.5in,width=4.5in,backspace=40pt,location=middle] %\usetypescript[serif][hz][quality] %line 1 %\setupalign[hanging,hz] %line 2 \usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hanging][pure] %line 3 \setupalign[hanging] %line 4 \usetypescript[modern-base][texnansi] %line 5 \setupbodyfont[reset] %line 6 \setupbodyfont[modern] %line 7 %\setupbodyfont[serif,11pt] \setupwhitespace[4.5pt] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupexternalfigures[directory={../marsh-slideshow}] \setupindenting[none] \setuphead[chapter][number=no] \setupheader[state=none] % Enable colors and activate hyperlinks \setupcolors [state=start] \setupinteraction [state=start, color=blue] \definecolor [darkRed][r=.5,g=.0,b=.0] \useURL[TPJ][{http://www.tug.org/pracjourn}][][{\it Prac\TeX{} Journal}] \useURL[mywebsite][{http://www.walden-family.com/dave}][][www.walden-family.com] \starttext ... \stoptext ---- and I get slightly different results if lines 1 and 2 versus 3 and 4 are in or out, or if both pairs of lines are commented out. If, however, I try this with the real 215 page book I am compiling rather than a smaller example, pdfTeX halts 200 or so pages in with a fatal error saying it has run out of space and saying something more about a hash table. If I comment out lines 5-7, I don't get the fatal error but also I don't think I see protrusion and font expansion happening. The real book doesn't have very much body text but is does have 215 images with code like \placefigure{none}{\externalfigure[#1.jpg][width=\textwidth]} where #1 comes from a macro call. Any thoughts? (I suppose I can split my source file in half and find a ConTeXt command to start the page numbering for the second half a 107 or so and then combine the two PDFs with Acrobat.)

analyzing type-otf.tex
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

(1) Shouldn't these typescripts get splitted?: from \starttypescript [serif] [adventor,bonum,cursor,heros,pagella,schola,termes] to \starttypescript [serif] [bonum,pagella,schola,termes] \starttypescript [sans] [adventor,heros] \starttypescript [mono] [cursor] plus \starttypescript [calligraphy] [chorus] and from \starttypescript [serif] [pagella,termes,bonum,schola,chorus] [name] to \starttypescript [serif] [pagella,termes,bonum,schola] [name] \starttypescript [calligraphy] [chorus] [name] (2) This seems wrong to me (i.e. I don't understand it): \starttypescript [serif] [adventor,bonum,cursor,heros,pagella,schola,termes] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Regular] [file:texgyre\typescriptthree\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}- regular] [features=default] That defines e.g. TeXGyrePagella-Regular --> file:texgyre???pagella- regular Why is there \typescriptthree without a third parameter of the typescript? And what file means "file:texgyre\typescriptthree"? I thought, "file:" should be followed by a proper filename like "{n: \typescripttwo}-Regular"? Are the first and second parameters swapped? (3) I get (maybe from that): kpathsea: Illegal fontname `texgyrename,default,ec,specialschola- regular': contains ','! Font \*gyr- mix12ptrmtfrm*:=texgyrename,default,ec,specialschola-regular at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found. This is my setup: \usetypescriptfile [type-otf] \usetypescriptfile [type-urw] \starttypescript [fiee] [gyr-mix] \definetypeface [gyr-mix] [rm] [serif] [schola] [default] \definetypeface [gyr-mix] [ss] [sans] [urw-grotesk-narrow] [default] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript \usetypescript [fiee][gyr-mix] \setupbodyfont [gyr-mix,rm,8pt] Where's my error?

perl/Ruby dependency -- how deep?
by Joel C. Salomon 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Two questions came up when I was looking into putting ConTeXt on a USB stick (i.e., as a "portable app"): 1. Is perl still required for a ConTeXt installation (say, under Windows)? I know texexec is now written in Ruby, but are there other programs in Stand-alone or the Minimals that require perl? 2. I vaguely recall some mention of eventually replacing texexec with a Lua version. Is this actually being planned, and would that eliminate the external language dependencies of ConTeXt? --Joel

A problem with HOMETEXMF
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi all, I have set HOMETEXMF in my setupex file, and the path is normally recognized: 13:25 jean@boldair /home/jean % echo $HOMETEXMF /home/jean/texmf Luatex sees it: 13:25 jean@boldair /home/jean % luatools --expand-path HOMETEXMF /home/jean/texmf (not if I write $HOMETEXMF ??) But luatex does not find files there: 13:35 jean@boldair /home/jean % luatools --find-file t-tikz.tex <blank> I have tried to set TEXMFHOME but got the same result. Please can anybody explain these variables and how they work with luatex or point to some documentation? -- Jean

Scite startup script error
by Abhishek Seth 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi, It seems I have missing scite-ctx.lua. It is not present in the cont-tmf.zip which I had downloaded. I created an empty scite-ctx.lua to suppress the error message. Is this file meant to be created manually or a part of distribution (cont-tmf.zip)?

luatex and interaction
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hi all, There had been a thread about it in august, but it seems part of the problem is still there: words or sentences appearing in interaction are split: here is a minimal example: .......................... \setupinteraction [state=start] \starttext L'un de ces documents \useURL[bb][http://junon.univ-cezanne.fr/bornier/BBMon/bbmm.html][][The Nature of Boehm-Bawerk's Capital Market]\from[bb]\footnote{http://junon.univ-cezanne.fr/bornier/BBMon/bbmm.html} a été présenté en 2004 æ€ûœ \stoptext .......................... Same problem with bibliographical references when interaction is activated. (Minimal version from minimals.contextgarden.net, up to date from yesterday.) -- Jean
