Re: [NTG-context] externalfigure and uppercase extensions

I think it would make more sense for conTeXt to first convert an image's extension to lower case before trying to figure out rule to apply. Otherwise in order to be correct, you would need an entry for "Jpg", "jPg", "jpG", "JPg", "JpG", and "jPG" -- not even counting the permutations for "jpeg". > You could consider using a case-insensitive file system to store > your data on, and lowercasing all entity input to ConTeXt, but > that is more clumsy than the extra \definefileinsertion-s. I don't think a case-insensitive FS is going to be an option for us (*nix only). Back to my original question, should "\externalfigure[MY_FIGURE.JPG][type=jpg] work? Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of the type parameter? Cheers, Mike

externalfigure and uppercase extensions
by Santy, Michael 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hello, I'm using conTeXt as the renderer in a XML workflow and have run into a problem with externalfigure. When a user chooses to include a PNG, PDF, or JPG image with an extension that is capitalized (or more generally, not all lower case), the externalfigure just includes a grey box like it can't find the file. The snippet below illustrates the problem. Note that I'm able to include the image by renaming the file to IMG_0103.jpg and changing the externalfigure to the corresponding filename. \starttext \externalfigure[IMG_0103.JPG] \stoptext I tried adding type=jpg and/or method=jpg to the externalfigure arguments, but the file did not compile. I found that by adding the entry "\definefileinsertion{tpd}{JPG}{\handlepdfimage}" to the spec-tpd.tex file in the context distribution, the externalfigure is able to include this image correctly. Should the mappings in these files be case insensitive? I'm sure that I'm missing something basic. Could someone please enlighten me? Cheers, Mike Santy

broken pdfs, no joking!
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 13 Sep '07

Hello, Believe it or not, but despite of mtxrun and other problems, luatex worked properly for me right till 9-10 update. I've re-uploaded fresh mswincontext, unpacked it, and my test file with Times New Roman font complied smoothly. Once I updated to the latest cont-tfm package, it began producing broken pdfs! And it spoils everything with any third-party font, not only Times. Help!!! Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

chapter headers and table of contents
by Thomas Telkamp 13 Sep '07

Hi, If I use a construction similar to: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chapters_headers (that is, using the chapter title twice in the head), then my chapters also appear twice in the table of contents! What can I do to prevent that from happening? thanks, Thomas

xetex and external pdf stretching
by Andrea Valle 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, I'm experimenting with xetex as suggested. All ok up to know. But I'm having a strange problem with figures. Typically I create my diagrams with Omnigraffle, export them in pdf (default setting) and reimport them in ConTeXt. Always fine. Using texexec --xtx I'm having a strange scale in vertical dimension, i.e. the figure is vertically stretched. The figure is ok, because the problem does not arise when I omit the -xtx flag. The code I'm using is trivial \placefigure{{\em Semiotiche}: produzione, distribuzione e accesso.} {\externalfigure[pipeline][width=\textwidth]} No stretching using a png instead of a pdf \placefigure{{\em Semiotiche}: produzione, distribuzione e accesso.} {\externalfigure[pipeline][width=\textwidth]} I guess it could it be in some way related to fonts (the fig is a a diagram labelled with text)?

Broken pdfs and many tools don't work

Hello, I'm struggling with getting new updated to work (it now produces broken pdfs), and found, as a side effect, that mtxrun doesn't work: c:\>mtxrun --script cache Error in lua file loading: cannot open : No such file or directory And another hint: while --make --luatex (seemingly) succeeds, --make fails: ... pdftex: unrecognized option `-tcx=natural.tcx' This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.4 (Web2C 7.5.6) \write18 enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdftex.fmt I can't find the format file `pdftex.fmt'!

luatex:first steps
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 13 Sep '07

Hallo, I have installed the newest windows standalone context package. My first try was with this snippet, found as 'test-2' at luatex.org: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \lua {tex.print("$\string\\sqrt{2} = " .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$")} \luatex {tex.print("$\string\\sqrt{2} = " .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$")} \rescan{\lua{tex.print("$\string\\sqrt{2} = " .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$")}} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% but \luatex is unknown. After commenting line 2 I get a TeX prompt (*) and after some \end's I got the result. Should this work in this way? And with this %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % coding: utf-8 \mainlanguage[deo] \enableregime[utf] \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,12pt] \starttext Bla {\bf blub} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I get the error ---------------------------------- error >> define font: font with name texgyrepagella-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 \... <argument> \getvalue {\@style@ \fontstyle } \edef \fontstyle {\fontstyle }\if... ... l.7 \setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,12pt] ---------------------------------- Palatino is installed! What should I do to use Palatino not Pagella, which obviously is not installed? Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] need help for the installation of luatools
by Dalyoung Jeong 13 Sep '07

Dear Thomas, How careless I am! and sorry not to give you a sufficient information. As you said, lua!=luatex. I downloaded and installed luatex in the folder /usr/texbin. I also copied it as texlua. Now, It seems to me that luatools is working without the previous error. However, there is a problem of doing "luatools --generate" yet because I used TeXlive based on the gwTeX distribution. LuaTools | skipping /texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | skipping /texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.05 seconds apple:~ dalyoung$ luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en LuaTools | version 1.1.1 - 2006+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT LuaTools | skipping configuration for /texmf-local/web2c from /Users/ dalyoung/luatex-cache/context/trees/d80510d450a3fa2a64df4d3741825f1d LuaTools | skipping configuration for /texmf/web2c from /Users/ dalyoung/luatex-cache/context/trees/3113242409ded67a0ad7bd508bd26609 LuaTools | no tex file with name cont-en.tex LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.05 seconds In my gwTeX, texmf.cnf is located in geTeX folder which also included the folders {texmf, texmf.gwtex. texmf.local, texmf.pkgs, texmf.texlive}, but neither in texmf.local/web2c nor in texmf/web2c. Also, context is installed in the folder texmf.pkgs/tex/context I think that it cause the problem. Is it a real cause of the above problem? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Hello, Curiouser and curiouser :) I've deleted @echo off from mtxrun.cmd, and what it shows: I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>mtxrun.cmd --script cache I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>setlocal I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>set ownpath=I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\ I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>texlua "I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua " --script cache Error in lua file loading: cannot open : No such file or directory I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>endlocal The texlua complains has completely no sense, since mtxrun.lua file DOES exist at that location. Or what is it looking for? -- Best Vyatcheslav mailto:yatskovsky@gmail.com
