Font selection in LuaTeX
by Marcel Korpel 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Dear all, As a heavy Plain TeX user I wish to experiment with LuaTeX. I know this is slightly off-topic to this list, but I see several questions related to LuaTeX user problems here. In message http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/026365.html Hans Hagen stated that one could also define fonts using a more XeTeX-like syntax like: \font=\test=name:ACaslonPro-Regular:liga=yes; or \font=\test=name:ACaslonPro-Regular*default As I don't use ConTeXt I wanted to give this approach a try (and I assume the =-signs after "\font" are Hans's mistakes, I guess). So I put ACaslonPro-Regular.otf in my /opt/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/opentype directory, did a rehash so the font could be found and tried a test file. Unfortunately, LuaTeX complained it could not find the font metrics. Maybe I need to make an entry in a map file somewhere? I looked through this list, Google, etc., but couldn't find where. Also, the syntax file:ACaslonPro-Regular.otf didn't work. pdfTeX etc. can find font files there, so that should not be the problem. By the way, I tried this using LuaTeX beta-0.11.2 on a Linux system and TeXLive 2007. I know I can use XeTeX, but XeTeX doesn't support character protrusion and several pdfTeX-specific commands, which I really like to use. I hope someone can clarify this to me. Thank you in advance! Kind regards, Marcel Korpel

Re: [NTG-context] Typesetting Korean

Dear Saji, You contact the right person, Dohyun Kim. He is one of the expert in KTUG and who write kor-00 module for ConTeXt. Another way for Korean is to use XeTeX+ ConTeXt, then you can use some korean fonts in the system. I think that using the module kor-00 is easier. If there are someone who want to use korean go www.ktug.or.kr and download the font files and module. Just untar the files in the texmf- local directory. It is easy to use. Thank you. Best wishes, Dalyoung

Typesetting Korean

Hi Dalyoung, Sorry this question is not related to your original mail. We are typesetting some of our reports in ConTeXt - the material is mostly English, but at places there are summaries in "Hangul". Any suggestions on how to input hangul in ConTeXt.

font modification in \inright
by Boris Dagaev 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hello ConTeXt Experts! I am looking for a proper ConTeXt of solving a problem I've solved through a hack (my solution is right after the need and problem are stated below). Preface: I am learning ConTeXt as I go. I do apologize if mine is a rookie question. I'd appreciate your help very much. Need: number every paragraph and place its number on the right margin in a smaller (6pt) font. Problem: when I try to switch to a smaller font directly in an \inright: \inright{\vi\hfill\bf\the\parCount} that outputs the count in the main paragraph font (14pt) until I prefix every paragraph with a hack {\vi\ \setbox0=\hbox{\ }\kern-\wd0} then \inright outputs the number correctly in a 6pt font (if I add the hack to \everypar, the inright font is still 14pt) Question: is there a way to switch to a smaller font directly in \inright{}? My solution: \setupoutput[pdftex] \definepapersize[MYBOOK][width=10.5cm,height=18.5cm] \setuppapersize[MYBOOK][letter] \setuplayout[width=fit, height=fit, topspace=0cm, header=1cm, footer=0.2cm, location=middle, marking=on, leftmargin=0cm, leftmargindistance=0cm, rightmargin=0.5cm, rightmargindistance=0cm, leftdistance=0cm, rightdistance=0cm, backspace=0cm] \setupbodyfont[14pt] \setupwhitespace[big] \setupinmargin[align=right] \newcount\parCount \parCount=1 \def\inRightParCount{% %% ADDING THE HACK HERE DOES NOT HELP {\vi\ \setbox0=\hbox{\ }\kern-\wd0} \inright{\hfill\bf\the\parCount} \global\advance\parCount by 1 } \appendtoks \inRightParCount \to \everypar \starttext {\vi\ \setbox0=\hbox{\ }\kern-\wd0}Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

\setupbodyfont[handwritten]
by Maurício 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi, When I use \setupbodyfont[handwritten] or \setupbodyfont[calligraphic], I get fonts which do not look like handwritten or calligraphic. Other options give consistent results (sans, type, serif etc.). What should I check in order to get those to work? I use a standard Ubuntu 7.10 installation, and never changed anything. Thanks, Maurício

defining and expanding in xml
by Thomas A. Schmitz 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi gurus, sorry for this long mail, but this is too difficult for me, and I have to apologize that I can't provide a minimal example. Here's what I want: I have one big xml-file which is my lecture course for the semester. Every single lecture is one section. This xml-file is processed (needless to say!) with ConTeXt. Every lecture is accompanied by a presentation, written in and processed by ConTeXt. The TeX files and the resulting pdfs are named by their dates, such as 07_11_23.pdf for today's lecture. I have defined a simple counter that will typeset a number in red at every place in the lecture where I show a new slide (and then increment the counter); here are the relevant definitions: \definelabel[SlideNumber][headstyle=normal,way=bytext] \define\SLN{\color[red]{[\nextSlideNumber]}} \defineXMLcommand[sln]{\sln} What I want: I would like to produce a "handout" of the lecture course which would include the slides at the relevant places. My idea was that everything is basically in place. I would simply need to define a "handout" mode which would redefine this \sln command and use the SlideNumber counter to insert the relevant pages from the presentation pdf. But I can't get it to work. Here's what I've tried: 1. the value of the \SlideNumber counter should be \currentSlideNumber, so basically I would like something along these lines: \define\sln {\externalfigure[presentations/07_11_23.pdf][page= \currentSlideNumber]\incrementSlideNumber} But this throws an error: ! Argument of \pp!doifinstringelse has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \doif #1#2->\edef \!!stringa {#1} \edef \!!stringb {#2}\ifx \!!stringa \!!str... \checkfigureusersettings ...ntedfigurepage \empty {\let \wantedfigurepage \!... \calculateexternalfigure ...eckfigureusersettings \checkfigurecolorsettings ... <argument> ...lideNumber },width=.75\textwidth ][] \calculateexternalscreenfi... ... l.71 <SLN/> I assume it is an expansion problem. I tried page= \expanded{\currentSlideNumber]}, but that doesn't work either. So this is my first problem: how can I pass the value of SlideNumber on to the externalfigure command? 2. Next step: I would like to have the name of the corresponding presentation pdf in another macro so I can include this in the command definition as well. In TeX, I would simply write someting like \let\CurrentPresentation=07_11_23.pdf into my file and then refer to \CurrentPresentation. But how do I do this in XML? I was thinking something along the lines <section Current="07_11_23.pdf"> but am at a loss as to how to pick up this value later. Sorry for the long post; I'd be very happy if someone could provide some insights. Thomas

Quickie about Line Numbering
by Matthias Wächter 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi! Just wondering how I can manage to number all the lines of my document. Thought that this would work but it actually doesn't. \starttext \startlinenumbering \chapter{First} A paragraph Another paragraph. \chapter{Second} Wait and see---nothing. \stoplinenumbering \stoptext Is there a better/smarter way for doing this than typing a lot of \(start|stop)linenumbering around paragraphs of text? We need line numbers as part of our document review process for clearly referencing error spots. - Matthias

Re: [NTG-context] typesetting a formula as a figure
by Dalyoung Jeong 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Dear Idris, Aditya, and Wolfgang, Thank you for the replies. Removing \start-stop formula and using \vcenter worked well. However, adding $\displaystyle ...$ gave the strange output. The location of the captions are not under the matrix. It looks like that there are four columns, "matrix cap matrix cap". I have one more question. Is it possible to display three figures in a triangular shape as following? < figure 1 > < figure 2> <figure 3> I tried to use \srartcombination[3*2] ... using a dummy blank figure. But because of the figure 1, there is a wide blank spaces between two figures. Thank you so much. Best regards, Dalyoung

Gentium Basic/Book
by Joel C. Salomon 25 Nov '07

25 Nov '07

How difficult would it be to adapt the typescript for Gentium (at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts) to use the new Gentium Basic for headings & Gentium Book Basic for text weights (both have Roman, Bold Roman, Italic, & Bold Italic) -- but with reverting to Gentium for characters that aren't in the Basic fonts? --Joel
