I was able to change the foreground colours from the "User Define" dialogue, but the background colour never changed. Thanks to your pointer, I eventually found the global override for the background colour under "Settings - Styler Configurator - Global Styles - Global Override". Regards, Richard

Problems with diagrams
by Geoffrey Martin 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Does anyone have any suggestions on processing docs with many commutative diagrams in ConTeXt. Depending on the method (I have used xypic and dcpic) I can do between 6 and 8 diagrams in a doc before ConTeXt crashes reporting pdftex: Assertion failed, and Window reporting and access error. I am running MikTeX under Windows 2000. It looks like memory problems but I would like to be sure. I have not been able to find a system requirements for ConTeXt, Also, in the process of trying to work around this difficulty I have noted that ConTeXt is able to run the diagram making plain tex macros in eplain and taylor. Thanks you any info you can provide] Geoffrey Martin University of Toledo

How to prevent a page break?
by Maurício 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

Hi, How do I prevent a page break between two paragraphs (actually, between a paragraph and an item list that follows it)? I found '\page[no]' in the documentation, but I don't know if that's the standard way to do that. Thanks, Maurício

Beste leden, beste TeX gebruikers, De aankomende NTG-bijeenkomst is op 9-11-2007. De bijeenkomst begint om 10 uur. Zoals eerder medegedeeld heeft de dag geen thema. Het programma bestaat uit een update op het LUATEX-project verzorgd door Hans Hagen en Taco Hoekwater. Verder zal Johann de Moor zijn ervaringen als alfa met Latex uit de doeken doen. Het wordt beslist weer een interessante dag, die je niet mag missen. De bijeenkomst is in het Buys Ballot laboratorium (BBL), onderdeel van het Fysica-complex, op de 4e verdieping. Voor de route zie http://www.cs.uu.nl/docs/reach/ en http://www1.phys.uu.nl/faculteit/fysicacomplex/ Parkeren is het makkelijkst op het Princetonplein. Willi Egger Secretaris NTG

Notepad++ colour settings
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

I have downloaded the latest Notepad++ and ConTeXt settings as suggested by Professor Hamid and I'm enjoying the experience of using them! However, I do not really like the colour scheme and tried to alter the background colours by editing "Application Data/Notepad++/UserDefineLang.xml", shutting down Notepad++ and starting up again (via Npp.bat), but no change. I also tried editing the "tex" entry in "Application Data/Notepad++/stylers.xml", but no joy. I tried going to menu item Settings - Style Configurator, but Context isn't in the list of languages. How can I alter the default colour settings for ConTeXt, please? Richard Stephens

New build problems
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Hello New context build is not friendly at all: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc00000022)" windows fatal error is displayed twice. Here is the log: G:\rsync\win\texmf-win>texexec --make --luatex TeXExec | using search method 'kpsewhich' TeXExec | updating file database TeXExec | using tex engine luatex TeXExec | using tex format path ./luatex TeXExec | unable to make format due to lack of permissions TeXExec | using mp engine mpost TeXExec | using mps format path . TeXExec | generating mps format metafun TeXExec | TeXExec | mps engine path: . TeXExec | TeXExec | TeXExec | runtime: 70.969 Sure, I still have to play with env variables (nearly all of them require updating when migrating to new build). Where the LUAINPUT var should point to? And why it is not found in setuptex.bat? Is it needed at all? Best, Vaytcheslav

Fwd: ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file

Hello Dalyoung, I hopw you don't mind if I forward this to the mailing list, but I won't be home for some days, and for some problems you mention here I have no idea what could go wrong.

No lm error either. That notice is normal/usual for XeTeX. > However, I can see series of small squares instead of text. Only math > equations are shown correctly. In Latin Modern? Which ConTeXt version? Did you only install TeXLive or also ConTeXt updater (with the latest version of ConTeXt)? Small squares could be a consequence of the old Type1 fonts instead of OpenType (in case you have an old version). > I didn't change any setting after upgrade. > > So I checked fonts one by one.

Hmmm ... you need to ask about that on the XeTeX mailing list. Mention which fonts exactly are causing problems and where you got them. > 2.

Can you send exact typescripts you're using? Failure with uppercase greek is usually a typescript problem (I have experienced it very often). > I don't know well about the running process of ConTeXt, but I assume > that xdvipdfmx is not compatible with Leopard.

See also recent messages on the XeTeX mailing list. And see @@runoptions['xetex'] = ['--8bit','-output-driver="xdvipdfmx -E -d 4 -V 5"'] in scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb But if you change sdvipdfmx to xdv2pdf, you'll have problems with Latin Modern (they're hardcoded in the ConTeXt format and file names don't work with xdv2pdf, so you would need to change definitions in type-oft.tex I guess). > Hence, my current problem is that I can not use some otf fonts which > was good before the upgrade. > Is there a way to cancel "CFF:invalid character" message and series of > blank squares? Why is it appeared after the uipgrade? And is there a > way to dispaly greek capitals correctly? I have no idea. But please post a complete example. You can also try to upgrade to a newer version of XeTeX and xdvipdfmx (backup the old version before doing so) from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/bin/xetex/osx-intel/bin/, although this won't solve your exact problems. Make sure that you're using the latest stable version of ConTeXt (2007.09.28). The problems with \font command need to be reported to the XeTeX mailig list (name the fonts and where you got them from), for the ConTeXt-related problems, attach a miniminal example together with your typescripts.

MathML in Context
by Maurício 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Hi, I've been trying to learn how to insert MathML in Context file. I found many examples of how MathML code should look like, formula or presentational, but no example on how to actually insert it in Context. I tried \math{ mathml stuff} and it didn't work. Can you guys point me to an example? Thanks, Maurício

Fatal format file error; I'm stymied THANKS for HELP
by Ernesto Schirmacher 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Thank you to Luigi, Taco, Hans, and Aditya for all your help and suggestions. As it turned out Taco's suggestion of an old format was right on and Aditya's reassurance that the Ubuntu repositories were not at fault I found some old format files in my home directory that TexExec was seeing before finding the correct ones in the texmf tree. Now it seems I'm ready to start my journey into the world of ConTeXt. Thanks again, Ernesto
