itemize a list
by Hans van der Meer 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

It is my intention to place a list inside an itemize, and therefore prepend a \item before every list item. Thus: \startitemize \placelist[Topic][label=no,pagenumber=no,before=\item]}% \stopitemize However this doesn't work but instead gives the following error: ! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup \stopitemgroup ...xtindentation \fi \fi \endgroup \doglobal \decrement (\ite... \Topics ...enumber=no,before=\item ]}\stopitemize \def \FirstPage {Topics} l.1 \Topics{Synopsis} ? \doendoflist ->\stoppacked \endgroup \Topics ...[label=no,pagenumber=no,before=\item ]} \stopitemize \def \FirstPa... Placing the "before=\item" in the \setuplist makes no difference. Why? How can I realize the goal: placing the list entries each as an item in an itemized list? Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] Font sizes using Chinese module

Hans said: > \definefontsize[e] > > \setupfontenvironment > [default] > [e=4] > Ah, thanks. Using \setupbodyfontenvironment as the second command did the trick. I guess there is no easy way of directly calling a specific font at a specific size? No worry, this sort of solution will allow me to do what I need for now. Thanks Hans. Duncan

\blank[big]
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 07 Nov '07

Hello, Excuse me, but what 'big' stands for in \blank[big]? Every time I use it, I expect really big white space, but get only hardly noticeable one. Best regards, Vaytcheslav

Deleting temporary files with metapost
by Maurício 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi, I'm using: texexec --purgeall my_file.tex to have temporary files deleted after processing. However, when I use metafun (using \startuseMPgraphics etc.) a single file is left, with extension '.mp.keep'. Is it possible to ask Context not to leave even that file? Thanks, Maurício

Re: [NTG-context] ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file
by Dalyoung Jeong 06 Nov '07

Dear Mojca, Thank you for the reply. As you did, I send my problem to the list. I think that I am a problem maker. I wonder why the output of XeTeX+ConTeXt was changed after the upgrade to Leopard. I didn't change anything in TeX system. I just upgraded the OSX. But nicely working XeTeX+ConTeXt had a problem with the korean commercial fonts.(no korean letters were appeared.) I installed TeXlive using i-installer(gwTeX) with Mac OSX Leopard, Latest stable ConTeXt, XeTeX 0.996 I made a short test file and a typescript file for the test. I have tested in several ways. 1. In XeTeX, everything is OK. Korean letters and greek capitals are appeared well. I thinkt that it used xdv2pdf. This is XeTeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6) file:line:error style messages enabled. entering extended mode (./test-font.tex [1] ) (see the transcript file for additional information) Mon Nov 5 16:56:15 graph.ssu.ac.kr xdv2pdf[21489] <Error>: WARNING: Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the correct format required by the Adobe Type 1Font Format specification. ... Output written on test-font.pdf (1 page). Transcript written on test-font.log. after adding \starttext and \stoptext 2. In XeTeX+ConTeXt, no ouput because of the korean commercial font. [1 ** NOTICE: This document contains a `Preview & Print only' licensed font ** ] ** ERROR ** CFF: Invalid character. Output file removed. Output written on test-font.pdf (1 page). Transcript written on test-font.log. 3.In XeTeX+ConTeXt without the definition of the korean commercial font: No error messeges, defined korean font and greek capitals are appeared well. But korean letters(except the manually defined korean font) are appeared as blanks. English letters are OK. 4. I used typescript file "type-xkor2.tex" No error message. English letters are OK. But korean letters(except the manually defined korean font) and the greek capitals are appeared as blanks. I think that Leopard has a problem with xdvipdfmx. It is just my guess. I attached test file and a typescript file. I used some commercial fonts but they are freely distributed as demo at the following site: "www.softmagaic.co.kr " After connecting it, you can see "otf sm font" in the third rectangle at the right side of the frame. You can download 5 fonts. I used three of them in the typescript file and one of them in the test file. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

two questions
by Dalyoung Jeong 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi all, Recently, I had a problem using XeTeX+ConTeXt after the upgrade to Leopard. You may read my mails to the list already. Let me describe it in short. XeTeX and XeLaTeX worked well. But in the output via XeTeX+ConTeXt, all korean letters are shown as blank or as the series of squares([s6] mode)when I set mainfont using some of the commercial fonts. All the files were worked OK before the upgrade. I'd like to you two things. 1. Is it possible to use xdv2pdf to produce pdf file using the command "texmfstart texexec"? 2. How to update xetex and xdvipdfmx? I downloaded latest file of them from "minimal.context.wiki". I replaced the xetex and xdvipdfmx in the folder /usr/texbin/ with the latest files, but it made another lm font error. I am using Mac with OSX Leopard, TeXlive 2007(gwTeX). Since I have very little knowledge about TeX, I always ask you for help. Thank you for the listening. Best regards, Dalyoung
