XeTeX + ConTeXt in TeXShop
by Andrea Valle 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hi, I was trying to configure teXShop so that it can run texexec --xtx I was following Otared's suggestions: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/016502.html I tried a brainless practice, creating the suggested file with #!/bin/tcsh set path= ($path /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current / usr/local/bin) texexec --xtx "$1" but it didn't work, so I changed the provided paths (I'm an Unix ignorant: proceeded by nose, as we say in Italy) And I have this: #!/bin/tcsh set path= ($path /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin / /usr/texbin) texexec --xtx "$1" (I have mactex on macosx 10.4) In TeXShop while launching the typesetting process I'm having a white console and nothing happens. Any hints?

Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

I don't have much time to investigate properly but there should be a \complexheadnumber defined in core-sec which gives you what you need. This should be tied to \headnumber though, so if that doesn't work it may be to do with where or how you are using the command. Do you have a complete minimal example document? Duncan

luatex + MP
by Thomas A. Schmitz 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hi all, just a quick one: for the time being, luatex doesn't seem to support any MP graphics, right? Even the most simple files both here and on the garden fail to produce any output. Any hints when this will be included? Best Thomas

backward compatibility broken !
by Steffen Wolfrum 11 Sep '07

Hi, I need to re-typeset an *old* book (from January 2004). Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore with ConTeXt ver: 2007.08.09 13:04 MKII: Runaway argument? liche Laufbahn ! Paragraph ended before \next was complete. <to be read again> \par l.12 ? The phrase causing the trouble is: erste beruf"|liche Laufbahn Is "| not working anymore? Hopefully there is a successor that works the same way – and please (!) doesn't change the line-/page-breaks??? Steffen

Acrobat don't accept compiled documents
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 10 Sep '07

Hello Hans, Sorry, but the problem is wider. Nothing using fonts compiles into valid pdf now. It seems like the problem arose after upgrading to newest 09-10 version of cont-tfm. -- Best, Vyatcheslav

figures using xetex
by Andrea Valle 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hi to all, while finishing this: http://www.cirma.unito.it/research/alternando/photo/photoBook.pdf I was experimenting with fonts. Using xetex, I simply added : \definetypeface[Optima][rm][Xserif][Optima] \setupbodyfont[Optima] Fonts are ok (Optima is used). I saw that many tmp .rli files are generated. Apart form the increasing compiling time, the first problem is that I had to run several times texexec --xtx in order to generate them all. Is it normal? Most important it behaves strangely with layers using pdfs figures. Color is not applied, or typically they are not shown. What am I missing? Many thanks Best -a- PS: no news with the old xetex question concerning fonts in figure? It seems that both the problem are related to the use of pdfs to be inserted in the ConTeXT file. -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - DAMS Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault.

Dear all, Does anyone know how to start a chapter on a left page in a doublesided paper? Every chapter consists of two pages which I always want to start at the left side. Whatever I try, \chapter always starts with a right page. Liesbeth van der Plas -- liesbethvanderplas(a)gmail.com www.wiskunde-interactief.nl
