MKII font-chi.tex bug fix
by Yue Wang 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hi, there I am still using MKII to do Chinese typesetting. As I mentioned before, User should use this in their source files to produce correct spaces between the chinese characters and english words 中文English\ 中文 instead of 中文 English 中文 or 中文English中文 which is quite annoying. In order to remove this constraint, here is what I have found out: Uncomment line 248 and line 267 of font-chi.tex will do. --- font-chi.tex.orig 2008-02-23 11:32:55.000000000 +0800 +++ font-chi.tex 2008-02-23 11:30:48.000000000 +0800 @@ -245,7 +245,6 @@ \insertchineseglyph \ifcase\chineseAstatus\relax \hskip\chineseinterglyphskip % unknown - \hskip\chinesesurroundskip \ifcase\chineseSstatus \hskip\chineseSsignal \or @@ -264,7 +263,6 @@ \hskip\chineseRsignal \or \hskip\chineseinterglyphskip % space - \hskip\chinesesurroundskip \hskip\chineseSsignal \fi \or % left This patch works pretty good on most of the cases if you use 中文 English 中文. however, 中文English中文 makes no space between chinese and English. and changing the \chinesesurroundskip will only affect the space after English. But it works now. I hope this information helpful. Maybe ConTeXt experts can make more improvements in the future and test from ConTeXt users are helpful. Yue Wang

bug in typeset table in Chinese
by Yue Wang 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hi, I find that ConTeXt fails to typeset Chinese table right. Here is the TeX source: \enableregime[utf] \usemodule[units] \usemodule[chinese] \starttext \placetable[here][]{通風模式} \starttable[|c|c|c|] \NC 時間 \NC 通風模式 \NC 室內源 \NC\SR \HL \NC 0:00-8:00 \NC 自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 無 \NC\FR \NC 8:00-18:00 \NC 機械通風 $n=5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 打印機每小時的起始十分鐘工作\NC\MR \NC 18:00-24:00 \NC 自然通風 $a=0.5 \Per\Hour$ \NC 無 \NC\LR \stoptable \stoptext If everything in the table is English then ConTeXt typeset it right. but in this table all the chinese are aligned left, not centered.

c-code
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hallo, some times ago, I tried to use the module 'verb-c' but something like the following didn't work: \usemodule[verb-c] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startC "*\0" \stopC \stoptext Wolfgang Schuster told me, not to use 'verb-c' and to use for example: \setupcolors[state=start] \definetyping[C][option=C] \starttext \startC "*\0" \stopC \stoptext The problematic C-code is typeset ok here, but the colorscheme used, doesn't fit to C-code rather to TeX-Code. How can this be changed? Wolfgang

t-inifile, my first experience with lua
by Peter Münster 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Hello, Hey, it's really fun to code in lua: pattern matching, easy table manipulation and so on, I should have learned it earlier! Since it's my first experience with lua, I would like to ask you for comments on the t-inifile.tex module, attached to this message. I tried to implement a demo-mode, but there are two small problems: - I don't know how to use \savebuffer, all line-endings disappear in the saved file - the utf-thinspace is ignored Cheers and thanks a lot to the luatex and MKIV developers!

Hi Wolfgang, > You should use the right command for this purpose. > > \startfiguretext > {none} > {\blackrule[height=\textheight,width=.5\textwidth]} > \startlines > Sie sprach: > \quotation{Das ist > ein Test.} > \stoplines > \stopfiguretext Yes, that works. But why is my example wrong? It's more or less stolen from <It's in the details>. Wolfgang

References title in Norwegian
by Trond Lossius 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

Hi, I'm writing a publication in Norwegian containing citations and references. I use \completepublications[criterium=all] at the end of the tex file to get the references. The only problem is that the title of it when typeset show up as "References" in English. Is it possible somehow to substitute that for the Norwgeian equivalent "Litteratur"? I'm using the MacTex distro from http://www.tug.org/mactex/ Thanks a lot, Trond

\start\stoplines and image
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 23 Feb '08

23 Feb '08

Hallo, I have a little problem with the following code: ----------------------------------------------- \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \setuplayout[bottomspace=.8cm,bottom=12pt,backspace=1.2cm,width=middle ] \starttext \placefigure[left,height]{none}{% \externalfigure[img.jpg][height=0.99\textheight]} \startlines Sie sprach: \quotation{Das ist ein Test.} \stoplines \stoptext ----------------------------------------------- The text between \start\stoplines is not completly placed in the right of the image. The quoted parts are moved to the left, on top of the image. What is wrong here? Gruß, Wolfgang

ini -> C -> lua -> context -> pdf
by Peter Münster 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hello, I have to convert an "ini"-file to pdf. On the one hand, it's easy for me to do most things in C, on the other hand, I would like to enlarge my experience with lua and ConTeXt. So here my question to the experts: what languages would you use for the different tasks? In fact, I believe lua could do a good job for some tasks, but I'm not really sure. Here the details: Example "ini"-file with 2 entries (the real file has about 200 entries): [temp_room] comment = the room temperature in °C description = This value must be sent at least once per 15 minutes, \ but only if a local sensor is connected to the device. size = 16 channel = master fb = RTS dpt = 2.009 dir = o [power] comment = the actual power available in % description = This value is only used to calculate the energy \ consumption. size = 8 channel = slave fb = HVA dpt = 4.307 dir = i The tasks: - put theses entries into a structured table (easy to do in C and the iniparser library http://ndevilla.free.fr/iniparser/ but it could be nice to do it in lua) - sorting (several PDF-documents with different sorting: by name, size, channel or other values) - filtering, for example _ must be converted to \_ and % to \% (same question: C, lua or ConTeXt) - formatting with nice layout (certainly with ConTeXt) For example, the first entry could become: 1.) temp_room, the room temperature in °C ----------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________________ | Master | RTS | Output with datapoint type 2.009 (16 bits) | |___________|_________|______________________________________________| This value must be sent at least once per 15 minutes, but only if a local sensor is connected to the device. (Until now, I've coded just one line of lua-code in my life...) Perhaps, with your help, the subject line could become: ini -> MKIV -> pdf Thanks in advance for any hints and encouragements!

Heros (font)
by Michal Kvasnička 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hallo to you all. I'd like to use TeXGyre fonts termes and heros. I tried something like this: \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \definetypeface[termes][rm][serif][termes][default][encoding=ec] \definetypeface[termes][ss][sans][heros][default][encoding=ec] \definetypeface[termes][mm][math][times][default][] \setupbodyfont[termes,18pt] However, I found that fonts as TeXGyreHeros-Regular are not defined. So I added this: \loadmapfile[qhv-ec.map] \definefontsynonym [TeXGyreHeros-Regular][ec-qhvr][encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [TeXGyreHeros-Italic][ec-qhvri][encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [TeXGyreHeros-Bold] [ec-qhvb][encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [TeXGyreHeros-BoldItalic] [ec-qhvbi][encoding=ec] Now it works---I get not run-time error, and I can see some Helvetica-like fonts (though I'm not sure that the Czech accents are all right). However, the AdobeReader says I use some Quasi-Swiss fonts, not TeXGyreHeros as I would expect. What's wrong? I've got ConTeXt ver: 2008.01.28 21:28 MKII. I installed manually TeXGyre fonts from the TeXGyre page some days ago. Many thanks for your kind help. And greeting to all of you. Michal
