ConTeXt mkiv on Ubuntu (Hardy alpha)
by Joel C. Salomon 18 Jan '08

...is still not working for me. For those of you who have used mkiv under Ubuntu (or Debian, I suppose), had it worked "out of the box" or is "some assembly required"? --Joel

Movies
by David Arnold 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

All, Does anyone have any experience embedding Quicktime or other movies in Context? Either in the document itself or simply a URL that will play the movie in the the user's system player? Can anyone supply some sample code snippets? Appreciated. David Arnold http://online.redwoods.edu/instruct/darnold

Bibliography and luatex
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi all, Using luatex from the minimals at minimals.contextgarden.net (linux), I am unable to have bibtex working: here is a minimal example: .............................. \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex [database=/home/jean/BIB/biblio.bib] \setuppublications[] \setuppublicationlist[] \setupcite[] \starttext Bonjour de luatex! \blank LUA \cite[year][destv] \startlua a = 1.5 b = 1.8 c = a*b tex.print(c) \stoplua \completepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext .............................. I see this in the messages: "publications : warning: cite argument destv is unknown on 139" pdftex and xetex engines find it without problem. What did I miss? -- Jean

2 further unix stubs
by Peter Münster 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Hello, What about these 2 new stubs: stubs/unix/texmfstart: #!/bin/sh script=$(dirname $0)/../../ruby/texmfstart.rb exec $script "$@" # (or exec ruby $script "$@") stubs/unix/texsync: #!/bin/sh texmfstart texsync.rb "$@" # (Or is texsync now obsolete and replaced by another script?)

by Yvon Henel 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

hello all I've failed to find how I could put first some text in two columns and then other text in one column on the same page. After \stopcolumnsep my text goes on a new page. Any hint would be greatly appreciated Many thanks -- Yvon Henel

Hi, There is something wrong with the mappings for zapf chancery in mkiv. Minimal example \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \definetypeface [mainface] [rm][serif][pagella][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [cg][calligraphy][chancery][default] [encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont [mainface,10pt] \starttext \cg test \stoptext Gives This went wrong: /home/adityam/texmf/tex/context/base/font-tfm.lua:141: attempt to index local 'tfmdata' (a nil value) error >> define font: font with name texgyrechorus-regular is not found. <to be read again> \relax \xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \fontstrategy ...me \fontclass #2#3#4#5\endcsname \tryingfontfalse \fi <inserted text> ...yle \fontalternative \fontsize \fi \iftryingfont \fontstr... \synchronizefont ...strategy \the \fontstrategies \relax \fi \iftryingfont \... l.9 \cg test ? r OK, entering \nonstopmode... !

Only texgyrechorus-italicmedium.otf is availabe from tex-gyre website. But context is looking for texgyrechorus-regular and cannot find it. The same file works with mkii. Aditya

context stub
by Peter Münster 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hello, Shouldn't the script scripts/context/lua/context be rather in scripts/context/stubs/unix/ ? And it seems, that "mtxrun --script context file" does not work, the option "--run" is needed. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

ConTeXt on Ubuntu
by Joel C. Salomon 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Has anyone had success running ConTeXt as packaged with Ubuntu? I can't get texexec --lua to find the ConTeXt format files, nor can I figure out how to generate the format files for luatex. XeTeX is similarly flaky. I'm running Ubuntu Hardy alpha in hopes of getting more up-to-date packages; is this a vain hope? --Joel
