latest beta
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi all, Taco, Hans, this combination of latest betas: This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007121721 CtxTools | context version: 2008.01.03 16:25 gives me output without the usual TeX ligatures (fi etc.). I'm uncertain whether it is worth reporting such things or whether, given the rapid change of luatex and mkiv, you think this is unnecessary? All best Thomas

weird (italic) math braces in antt
by Mojca Miklavec 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hello, I don't understand why I get italic braces in the following example. The font itself seems to be OK (and if I recall correctly, this has already worked OK in the past). \usetypescript[antykwa-torunska][ec] \starttext $\{a\}$ \showfont[lmex10] \setupbodyfont[antykwa,16pt] $\{a\}[]$ \showfont[ex-anttr] \stoptext Thanks a lot, Mojca

chapter title on a single empty page with background
by Mojca Miklavec 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

Hello, for some reason I have always been using standardmakeup for separating chapters in slides (I don't know if that's a good idea or not), but this fails: \setupcolors [state=start] \setuphead [chapter] [page=yes, number=no, command=\mychaptercommand] \setuphead [section] [page=yes, number=no] \def\mychaptercommand#1#2{% \bgroup \startstandardmakeup \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] % doesn't work \switchtobodyfont[30pt]{#2} \stopstandardmakeup \egroup} \starttext \chapter{Chapter} \section{Section} % starts on the first page \input tufte \stoptext I have now used \def\mychapter#1#2{% % the only way to make background color work \page\bgroup \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] \startstandardmakeup \switchtobodyfont[30pt]{#1: #2} \stopstandardmakeup \egroup} as a workaround, but I wonder: is my first attempt something that's simply forbidden to use or did I use it in a wrong way? Thanks, Mojca

is it possible to produce PDF with version < 1.3
by Yvon Henel 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

hello all the pdf I've produced declares to be PDF v1.5 which seems to be unreadable if the acrobat version is not 8 Is it possible to demand an older version of PDF for the result of a compilation with texexec or does it depend on the ConTeXt features used? As always, any hint would be greatly appreciated. -- Yvon Henel

luatex and context for Debian
by Norbert Preining 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

Dear all, I have updated luatex and context so currently I can even run MkIV documents ;-) Debian/sid users should have them already. Debian/etch users should get luatex 0.20.2-1 from deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex/ Currently I have only i386 packages, but will build amd64 for etch soon. And maybe powerpc builds can be organized. For context 2007.12.18-1 please add deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ context/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ context/ Just for completeness, it is good to have: texlive: deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ tl2007/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ src/ latin modern: deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ lmodern/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ lmodern/ For Ubuntu users of the development version (i.e., that tracking sid more or less) luatex can be found at deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex-sid/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex-sid/ Please comment if you find something missing.

math too big when in small "contexts"
by Jesse Alama 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

Consider an example like the following: \definestartstop [extract] [style=small] \starttext \startextract As you can see, the $M$ Math is too big. \stopextract \stoptext When typeset, the math M is bigger than the capital M in "Math" following it. What might be going on? Thanks, Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama(a)stanford.edu)

\useURL problem.
by John Culleton 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

If I use e.g.: \useURL[a][http://www.creativemindspress.com]\from[a] it works but if I use \useURL[a][http://www.creativemindspress.com/bkpckg.htm ]\from[a] I get an error message. Yet the second form is a valid url. Any suggestions? -- John Culleton
