Presentation style problem
by Matthias Weber 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

Hello, I've been using the "green" presentation style aka s-pre-02 in a few presentations. When I typeset these now, using ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII fmt: 2007.5.18 int: english/english, (or LiveConTeXt as of today), the text runs right up to the green rectangle, leaving no margin (left, right, top, bottom). I have fiddled with various options of \setuplayout to not much avail, curiously repeated typesetting gives different results (which stabilize after the second pass). I am once again looking for the right incantation to get the text back nicely into its frame. Thanks, Matthias \usemodule[pre-green] %\setuplayout[leftmargin=.5cm,rightmargin=.5cm] \starttext \TitlePage{Title Page\\pre-green} \Topics{Some Nice Quotes} \Topic{A Few} \Subject{Knuth} \input knuth \Subject{Tufte} \input tufte \Topic{Some More} \Subject{Zapf} \input zapf \Subject{Bryson} \input bryson \stoptext

Dear gang, ctxtools are not behaving here: > ctxtools --dpxmapfiles --force c:\context\tex\texmf gives me > CtxTools | provide proper texmfroot but I have provided the texmfroot as you can see. Something has apparently changed in recent editions of context. Please advise!

adventor
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hallo, I have some problems useing the font adventor from gyre project. After downloading the fonts and the context map-files from the gyre- site, I tried the following: \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \definetypeface[adventor][ss][sans][adventor][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[adventor,ss,9pt] \starttext \ss Bla \stoptext but I get ! Font \*adventor12ptsstfss*:=TeXGyreAdventor-Regular at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. After that I looked into the type-gyr typescript and found \loadmapfile[ q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-\typescriptthree.map] but the map-file is ec-qag.map! So I changed that to \loadmapfile[ \typescriptthree-q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}.map] But the errormessage was exactly the same as befor. The map-file is found: > kpsewhich ec-qag.map kpsewhich ec-qag.map e:/context/tex/texmf-project/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-qag.map So I need some tips! Btw.: Why are there TWO \loadmapfile entrys in type-gyr? One in \starttypescript[serif]... \loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}- \typescriptthree.map] the other in \starttypescript[map][pagella,termes,bonum,schola,heros,adventor] [all] \loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}- \typescriptthree.map] \stoptypescript Are they both necessary? If so, what's the difference? Wolfgang

A WinEdt problem ?
by Dejan Djokic 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Dear Mr. Arnold, I am using a WinEdt-driver to run my Tex-files, but in no case I can run any Metafont-file to create, say, labels in my Feynman diagrams. In fact I can draw the diagrams getting them in a stored Dvi-file, but on the other hand, I fail to do it as regards the font-label therein. The author of the Feynman package suggests me to run the related Metafont-file in my WinEdt-driver. However both, him as well as me, really have no idea in what way that could be done at all. Looking forward to your helpful reply, Dejan Djokic from Belgrade ----------------- Institute of Physics, Belgrade http://www.phy.bg.ac.yu/

Re: [NTG-context] extra math symbols and alignment
by WN 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi Aditya Basically I want to include the RSFS font and some user defined symbols from txexa as explained in my previous email. I did some testing with the test code which I send and found the cause of the problem, however no solution yet. The cause of the problem lies in the line where I say \definetypeface[MyFace] [mm] [math] [modern] *[modern] *[encoding=ec] This will enable the user defined symbols and all the math symbols as shown via \showmathcharacters are correct. However all the matrix, mathmatrix environments don't adhere to the aligment I specify except for the first option i.e. when I say \startmatrix[align={right, etc .... }] everything is aligned to the right but the other aligment options are ignored. When I substitute *[modern]* with *[default] *as in \definetypeface[MyFace] [mm] [math] [modern] *[default] *[encoding=ec] In this instance all the aligment as specified in the matrix, mathmatrix environments work. However some of the math symbols like \Delta are incorrect. And my user defined symbols are also incorrect. Hope you can find a solution. Kind regards Wim

Detail on footnote placement (vertical, page)
by Steffen Wolfrum 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hi, if, at the last page of a chapter, there is only little text (e.g. 10% of text-height) is it then possible to attach the footnote-rule and the footnote-text directly under the text (but only this page – the other pages should place the footnote-text flush-bottom) in order to avoid a huge empty white space between body-text and footnote-text?

XeTeX typescripts in ver: 2007.07.24
by Michael Green 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

In ver: 2007.01.12, a typescript like this works fine: \starttypescript[serif][minion][uc] \definefontsynonym [MinionRegular] ['Minion Pro:mapping=tex-text; +onum;'] [encoding=uc] \stoptypescript We get Minion Pro, mapping TeX markup to unicode characters and old- style numbers. This seems not to work in ver: 2007.07.24: the font can't be found (I'll put a bit of the log file at the end). However, everything is fine when the typescript is changed to read like this. \starttypescript[serif][minion][uc] \definefontsynonym [MinionRegular] ['Minion Pro'] [encoding=uc] \stoptypescript Here's what looks to me to be the relevant part of the log. systems : begin file article at line 1 (/Users/michaelgreen/Library/texmf/tex/context/article.tex (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-xtx.tex) (/Users/michaelgreen/Library/texmf/tex/context/myfonts.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-xtx.tex) (/Users/michaelgreen/Library/texmf/tex/context/myfonts.tex) ! Font \*minion12ptrmtfrm*:='"mapping=tex-text;+onum; at 12.0pt"' not loadable: installed font not found. ("myfonts.tex" is a file of typescripts for system fonts, made to match the those in the "creating your own typescripts section of the wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_XeTeX) Perhaps the old functionality being replaced with something different.

Boxed items don't like sidefloats
by Giuseppe Bilotta 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hello all, here's a test document: ================ \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \newbox\testbox \starttext \setbox\testbox\vbox{% \placefigure[outer,none,fit]{}{% \framed[width=.2\hsize,height=.2\hsize,offset=none]{}% }% \startitemize \item some test \item \input knuth \item \input tufte \stopitemize } \box\testbox \page \setbox\testbox\vbox{% \placefigure[outer,none,fit]{}{% \framed[width=.2\hsize,height=.2\hsize,offset=none]{}% }% \startitemize \item some test \item \input knuth \item \input tufte \stopitemize } \box\testbox \stoptext ============ As you may notice, items think the placefigure refers to all of them, so that if a particular item is bigger than the figure height, it will wrap correctly around the (inexistent) box, otherwise it will just side it. Interesting, the same thing does *not* happen when not going through a box, but typesetting things directly in the page. However, for my application I need to typeset the sidefloat and the itemization in a box, so I hit the bug ... Suggestions? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Can you please explain, why a comment can toggle an error? Filtering comments should be very low level (plain TeX or ConTeXt Core, after some catcode redef???). Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] Fixing/Updating ConTeXt

Hans, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and then tested: texexec --xtx sample_file but I still got the error. Is there a way to overwrite/update the installation as I did with ConTeXt? If worse comes to worst, I'll look into reinstalling XeTeX... Thanks again for the help!
