Flow charts forgetting text
by Aditya Mahajan 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hi, Something is broken in flowcharts. If I typeset the same flowchart twice, the comments are missing from the second chart. For example \usemodule[chart] \setupFLOWcharts [%option=test, bodyfont=11pt, nx=4, ny=1, offset=11pt, dx=\bodyfontsize, dy=0.65\bodyfontsize, width=6\bodyfontsize, height=2.5\bodyfontsize, ] \startFLOWchart[test] \startFLOWcell \name {source} \location {1,1} \shape {procedure} \text {Source} \connection [rl] {encoder} \comment [t] {$X_t$} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {encoder} \location {2,1} \shape {procedure} \text {Encoder} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \starttext \FLOWchart[test] \input knuth \FLOWchart[test] \stoptext The second flow chart does not have $X_t$. Can someone tell what is going on? Aditya

itemize a list
by Hans van der Meer 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

It is my intention to place a list inside an itemize, and therefore prepend a \item before every list item. Thus: \startitemize \placelist[Topic][label=no,pagenumber=no,before=\item]}% \stopitemize However this doesn't work but instead gives the following error: ! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup \stopitemgroup ...xtindentation \fi \fi \endgroup \doglobal \decrement (\ite... \Topics ...enumber=no,before=\item ]}\stopitemize \def \FirstPage {Topics} l.1 \Topics{Synopsis} ? \doendoflist ->\stoppacked \endgroup \Topics ...[label=no,pagenumber=no,before=\item ]} \stopitemize \def \FirstPa... Placing the "before=\item" in the \setuplist makes no difference. Why? How can I realize the goal: placing the list entries each as an item in an itemized list? Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] Font sizes using Chinese module
by Duncan Hothersall 07 Nov '07

Hans said: > \definefontsize[e] > > \setupfontenvironment > [default] > [e=4] > Ah, thanks. Using \setupbodyfontenvironment as the second command did the trick. I guess there is no easy way of directly calling a specific font at a specific size? No worry, this sort of solution will allow me to do what I need for now. Thanks Hans. Duncan

\blank[big]
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 07 Nov '07

Hello, Excuse me, but what 'big' stands for in \blank[big]? Every time I use it, I expect really big white space, but get only hardly noticeable one. Best regards, Vaytcheslav

Deleting temporary files with metapost
by Maurício 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi, I'm using: texexec --purgeall my_file.tex to have temporary files deleted after processing. However, when I use metafun (using \startuseMPgraphics etc.) a single file is left, with extension '.mp.keep'. Is it possible to ask Context not to leave even that file? Thanks, Maurício

Re: [NTG-context] ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file
by Dalyoung Jeong 06 Nov '07

Dear Mojca, Thank you for the reply. As you did, I send my problem to the list. I think that I am a problem maker. I wonder why the output of XeTeX+ConTeXt was changed after the upgrade to Leopard. I didn't change anything in TeX system. I just upgraded the OSX. But nicely working XeTeX+ConTeXt had a problem with the korean commercial fonts.(no korean letters were appeared.) I installed TeXlive using i-installer(gwTeX) with Mac OSX Leopard, Latest stable ConTeXt, XeTeX 0.996 I made a short test file and a typescript file for the test. I have tested in several ways. 1. In XeTeX, everything is OK. Korean letters and greek capitals are appeared well. I thinkt that it used xdv2pdf. This is XeTeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6) file:line:error style messages enabled. entering extended mode (./test-font.tex [1] ) (see the transcript file for additional information) Mon Nov 5 16:56:15 graph.ssu.ac.kr xdv2pdf[21489] <Error>: WARNING: Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the correct format required by the Adobe Type 1Font Format specification. ... Output written on test-font.pdf (1 page). Transcript written on test-font.log. after adding \starttext and \stoptext 2. In XeTeX+ConTeXt, no ouput because of the korean commercial font. [1 ** NOTICE: This document contains a `Preview & Print only' licensed font ** ] ** ERROR ** CFF: Invalid character. Output file removed. Output written on test-font.pdf (1 page). Transcript written on test-font.log. 3.In XeTeX+ConTeXt without the definition of the korean commercial font: No error messeges, defined korean font and greek capitals are appeared well. But korean letters(except the manually defined korean font) are appeared as blanks. English letters are OK. 4. I used typescript file "type-xkor2.tex" No error message. English letters are OK. But korean letters(except the manually defined korean font) and the greek capitals are appeared as blanks. I think that Leopard has a problem with xdvipdfmx. It is just my guess. I attached test file and a typescript file. I used some commercial fonts but they are freely distributed as demo at the following site: "www.softmagaic.co.kr " After connecting it, you can see "otf sm font" in the third rectangle at the right side of the frame. You can download 5 fonts. I used three of them in the typescript file and one of them in the test file. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung
