update mkiv
by Hans Hagen 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

Hi, I'm uploading an update. This fixes the missing texmfstart in the windows related zips. I also added format generation entries in the toolsmenu of scite. Because luatex runs from temp paths, you need to regenerate a format after updating. I also extended ctxtools --update (not tested). luatools and mtxrun now accept a --selfupdate flag that will replace the existing one in the bin path by the one in the script path Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Double integral and subscripts
by Shen Chen 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

Hi all, I want to typeset double integral with subscript beneath the integral symbol. I found \unic@dblint for double integral, and used the usual \limits in plain tex: \unic@dblint\limits_{\startsubstack x \ge 0,\NR 0 \le y \le T\stopsubstack} The subscript did go below the integral, but the two integral symbols are separate from each other. Any tips? Thanks a lot! Shenchen

by Ardi 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

Hello all, I have fetched mswincontext.zip from 06-Aug-2007. I would like to update it to the latest status of ConTeXt and then install the latest (dev.) version 0.997 of XeTeX but I miss somehow the procedure on the context/xetex mailing list. Can somebody help me? Thanks and regards, Ardi --------------------------------- Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect. Join Yahoo!'s user panel and lay it on us.

It is nice to have such scripts. But I would like to know what goes on behind the scene. In principle one has to know all the steps to do it by hand. Wolfgang

But the encoding-script is wrong, as Thomas has pointed out. --- excerpt from type-gyr.tex --- \definetypescriptprefix [n:adventor][TeXGyreAdventor] \definetypescriptprefix [f:adventor][ag] \starttypescript [serif] [pagella,termes,heros,bonum,schola,adventor] [ec,texnansi,cs,el,qx,rm,t5,t2a,t2b,t2c,l7x] \loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-\typescriptthree.map] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Regular] [\typescriptthree-q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}r] [encoding=\typescriptthree] ... \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [heros,adventor] [name] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Regular] ... \stoptypescript \starttypescript [map] [pagella,termes,bonum,schola,heros,adventor] [all] \loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-\typescriptthree.map] \stoptypescript --- I still have some questions: - A complete (all gyre-fonts) type-script makes sense. Will 'type- gyr' be fixed, or should I create my own? - What are the map-files at the gyre-site for? - Is the second \loadmapfile entry above redundant? - What is the correct texfont syntax, to install adventors small-caps variant? - There are enc-files in the ??dvips?? subdirectory of the font tree: 'fonts/enc/dvips/tex-gyre/q-<encoding>-sc.enc Should I make use from these files? Will they be found there? Wolfgang

PDF Metadata / Attachments
by Pascal de Bruijn 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi, With LaTeX I was able to set my own PDF metadata, is this possible with ConTeXt? I mean things like: Title, Subject, Author, Keywords, Creator, Producer? Also, I generally like to include my .tex source file into my PDF as a text file attachment. LaTeX has a package for this, does ConTeXt have similar functionality?

Background image
by Pascal de Bruijn 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi, I'm trying to layout a book for Lulu.com. I'm working with a 9"x6" paper size, which is going to be printed on 9.25"x6.25" stock paper to enable full bleed printing. I have managed to get a background image using a background layer. However, I don't seem to be able to get it to the right size. Sample files: http://area42.pcode.nl/context/ In the PDF you can see, that I'm stuck with a white edge. I need the background picture to fill my entire page with no white left. I also need to crop marks to remain on top of the background image. The supplied background image has the same height/width ratio as the stock page. However I would like TeX to stretch the ratio if necessary. I'd appreciate any suggestion on how to achieve this. Regards, Pascal de Bruijn -- http://blog.pcode.nl/ http://www.linkselente.nl/

Because there were map-files for conTeXt at the gyre-site and a typescript with ConTeXt, I thought I just have to copy everything to the right place. But obviously the gyre-map-files don't fit with the type-gyr script. On the other site, installing the fonts with texfont works, but I don't have found the trick to install the small caps variant, and the naming is not yet the same as in type-gyr (I have to experiment a bit with this!) But I like to know, what I else have to do when installing these fonts manuelly. Wolfgang
