Re: [NTG-context] Using mswincontext from the command line

Hello, I found that setuptex.bat (like any bat file) sets env. vars only locally in WinXp , that is, for current process. Other windows don't see them. TeXLive took another approach, of setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment keys, which act globally, and that's why it always worked well. By carefully studying the setuptex.bat, I came to the following registry entries [screeshot attached] But, in spite of endlesless remaking of format files, I always get the error whenever I compile anything: TeXExec | processing document 'FMHelp.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file FMHelp.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1139 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en LuaTools | using format name /cont-en.fmt LuaTools | no luc/lua with name /cont-en LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.031 secondsTeXUtil | parsing file FMHelp.tui TeXUtil | shortcuts : 0 TeXUtil | expansions: 0 TeXUtil | reductions: 0 TeXUtil | divisions : 0 TeXUtil | loaded files: 1 TeXUtil | temporary files: 0 TeXUtil | commands: 18 TeXUtil | programs: 0 TeXUtil | tuo file saved TeXExec | runtime: 0.218 I'm convincied that I captured all env vars, and that's was right direction, because I have some progress up to the final point where it all fails! Why? Best, Vyatcheslav

Using mswincontext from the command line
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hello, I'm back with my old problem of using stand-alone windows context within command line. I was told that it is possible, but I still cannot figure out how. I have mswincontext extracted into drive I: " Directory of I:\context 26.08.2007 18:53 <DIR> . 26.08.2007 18:53 <DIR> .. 08.08.2007 15:03 206 cscite 08.08.2007 15:03 2 014 cscite.bat 08.08.2007 15:03 24 702 cscite.ico 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> demo 08.08.2007 17:32 <DIR> docroot 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> goodies 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> gs 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> perl 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> ruby 08.08.2007 17:32 <DIR> scite 12.08.2007 04:04 <DIR> tex 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> xmllib " When I run cscite.bat it sets some env. vars, and everything within the sci-te editor works, but nothing is accessible from external command line. For example, " C:\>texexec 'texexec' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. " How to get it work, scince I want to experiment with some nice text editor. (It is Code Browser, unique and free, and the author implemented ConText support for my request, now I'm making the lang file). Best regards, Vaytcheslav Yatskovsky

Math align question
by WN 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hi, Is there a way to increase the distance between the columns in startalign/stopalign ? I read the Myway on math align and there are examples where one can set the distance but only for pairs of equations. In the following code I have 3 columns but they are too close together and I want to spread them out. I tried to use the distance parameter but this setting is ignored. I also experimented with the startmatrix/stopmatrix but I need the sub formula numbering. Any help appreciated Wim \def\ms{\,} \starttext \placesubformula \startformula \startalign[n=3] \NC f(x) \NC = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} g(y) \ms e^{i y x} \ms dy \NC (x \in \reals) \NR[calcb-chapter4-eqn5:i][i] \NC g(y) \NC = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(x) \ms e^{-i y x} d x \NC ( y \in \reals) \NR[calcb-chapter4-eqn5:ii][ii] \NC \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} |f(x)|^{2} dx \NC = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \Big| g(y) \Big|^{2} \ms d y \NC \quad \NR[calcb-chapter4-eqn5:iii][iii] \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext

missing *8t.tfm files

Hi all, I've recently started reading about typefaces in ConTeXt, and trying out the examples of `showfont.pdf', but stumbled upon errors for almost all the fonts. My installation uses teTeX-3.0 on FreeBSD: keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ pkg_info | fgrep -i tetex dvipsk-tetex-5.95a_2 Convert a TeX DVI file to PostScript teTeX-3.0_2 A meta port for teTeX suite teTeX-base-3.0_11 Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends (binaries) teTeX-texmf-3.0_5 Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends (texmf tree) xdvik-tetex-22.84.10_1 DVI Previewer(kpathsearch) for X keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ When I try typesetting: \definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery] \switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg] \starttext Foo bar. \stoptext All I get is an error like: % (/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)kpathsea: Running mktextfm uzcmi8t % mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input uzcmi8t % This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4) % % kpathsea: Running mktexmf uzcmi8t % !

Buffers (gone) in MK IV (was: MK IV & Lilypond)

I can > send along some log info if others have found it to work. Hans has mentioned several times that buffers are not going to be written to files with luaTeX any more. This has a weird consequence on many modules which relied exactly on that trick. Short example of what goes wrong: \starttext \startbuffer[a] Hello world! \stopbuffer \typebuffer[a] %\executesystemcommand{dosomethingwith \jobname-a.tmp} \stoptext The problem is that MK II created a file \jobname-a.tmp and lilypond module processed exactly that file further. In MK IV, that file is not created any more (you can check that by running the above example with --lua first and then with pdfTeX again. Only in the second case a file [whateverthefilename]-a.tmp is created.) Lilypond module relied on that "feature" (I would rather call it dirty-but-very-useful-trick). Hans, what's the current general recipe for this kind of [mis]use of buffers? Mojca

cweb-scr.pdf
by John Luciani 25 Aug '07

25 Aug '07

Are the source files that were used to create cweb-scr.pdf on the http://www.pragma-ade.com site available for download? I am trying to get ConTeXt working on a cweaved TeX file and am getting an Undefined control sequence error. A working example (especially the source for the cweb-scr files) would be extremely useful. Thanks. (* jcl *) -- http://www.luciani.org

dvips; hungarumlaut
by Istvan Hollerbach 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hi Evereybody, I have written a short tex file. Then I have made a dvi file by command: texexec --dvi proba.tex. A dvi and a ps files have been made. Dvi is ok, but ps not. I have deleted the ps file. In order to make a ps file I have inserted command: dvips proba.dvi. I have received an error message: This is dvips(k) 5.96 Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) dvips: ! Couldn't find header file tex.pro. Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2 mode. and In document mp-cb-en.pdf on page 73 and in ms-cb-en.pdf on page 95 in the table hungarumlaut (\H{u}) does not appear correctly. Hungarumlaut is a doubleacute on o, O, u, and U. Hungarumlaut or doubleacute is used solely in Hungarian language. Best regards, Istvan

TeX-Gyre package?
by Idris Samawi Hamid 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Dear Hans and gang, Has TeX-Gyre been released as part of MKIV yet? I was in the processing of updating my mswincontext distribution of 2007.08.07 and I noticed that cont-tmf does not contain the TeX-Gyre fonts. The reason I don't want to install the fonts from the official TeX-Gyre site is because, before the release of MKIV, I installed them (with the ConTeXt support files on that site of course) and they did not all work :-( So I'd prefer to install them from a single ConTeXt package/zip so that we could all have easier installation (just unzip) as well as a common benchmark, especially if things go wrong ;-) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
