Achieving the style of Jean-Luc Doumont
by Stefan Nedeljkovic 17 May '22

17 May '22

Dear list, Years ago I stumbled upon the work of Jean-Luc Doumont. He typesets all his documents using TeX, although his modified Version called Quantum. The whole idea of his fascinating approach is that the page is quantized in 2 dimensions and that all positioning, even graphical elements stick to that grid. I'm attaching a link to a presentation by him in which he gives some fragments of code that I, unfortunately, have a hard time understanding. I'm interested in replicating this 2d grid in Context. How would one go about enforcing such strict 2d organization? As I get it he does a lot of manual tweaking, and his documents are less automated and more hand crafted than a typical Context document. I'm specifically interested in using this approach for report generation. To me data I/O is not an issue since I would use a Python script to generate the markup. I know the question is pretty general, but any pointers would be welcome. Maybe the first thing useful would be the grid and how to position everything in accordance with it. I envisioned this thread more for discussion and suggestions than a complete recreation of his ideas. As I learn Context and Metapost, I hope I will figure out how to recreate his work. Sorry for the blog post :) Link to files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KpYbDlukvSCirKkFvJICOX3wABl_83bW?us… Sincerely, Stefan

Dear list, I’m experiencing issues to open the following documents added in one of the recent latests. Now I’m on Linux 64bit with current latest (2022.05.11 11:36) and mupdf-gl-1.20.0.rc1. $ mupdf-gl onandon.pdf error: cannot find startxref warning: trying to repair broken xref warning: repairing PDF document warning: object missing 'endobj' token error: cannot find page tree $ mupdf-gl columnsets.pdf error: expected object number warning: repairing PDF document error: object is not a stream warning: cannot load object (730 0 R) into cache error: cannot find XObject resource 'Im92' error: cannot find XObject resource 'Im93' error: cannot find XObject resource 'Im94' error: cannot find XObject resource 'Im95' error: cannot find XObject resource 'Im92' error: cannot find XObject resource 'Im93' error: cannot find XObject resource 'Im94' error: cannot find XObject resource 'Im95' warning: non-page object in page tree () warning: ... repeated 11 times... warning: content stream is not a stream (1045 0 R) warning: ... repeated 2 times... warning: non-page object in page tree () warning: ... repeated 2 times... warning: content stream is not a stream (1048 0 R) warning: ... repeated 2 times... warning: non-page object in page tree () warning: ... repeated 2 times... warning: content stream is not a stream (1055 0 R) warning: ... repeated 2 times... warning: non-page object in page tree () warning: ... repeated 6 times...

lua-widow-control module error in LMTX
by Eduardo Bohoyo 14 May '22

14 May '22

Hi, I would like to know if anyone has experienced the same error with the lua-widow-control module when compiling the pdf: modules > 'lua-widow-control' is loaded open source > level 2, order 3, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lua-widow-control/t-lua-widow-control.mkxl'. resolvers > lua > unknown file 'lua-widow-control.lua' lua error > lua error on line 74 in file /opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lua-widow-control/t-lua-widow-control.mkxl The odd thing is that line 75 of the t-lua-widow-control file is empty. On the other hand, I confess that I don't know what "resolvers" means when it says it doesn't know the lua-widow-control.lua file. I don't see any mention of this file within the t-lua-widow-control module. Could it be that this module is not yet mature for lmtx, or am I missing something? I have \usemodule[lua-widow-control] in my tex document, and I haven't forgotten to do the prescribed mtxrun --generate after including the module in my third-party folder of my luametatex installation on Arch. Kind regards, Edu

conditionals for font features
by Pablo Rodriguez 13 May '22

13 May '22

Dear list, I wonder whether there is a conditional for font features similar to \doifelseitalic. \doifelsecurrentfonthasfeature checks whether the font supports an OpenType feature. \doifunknownfontfeature checks whether the font feature has been defined. It seems that \doifelsefontfeature checks whether the font feature has been defined or not. Could anyone explain me how to check whether c2sc is being used or not in the following sample? \definefontfeature[asc][c2sc=yes, smcp=yes] \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext \feature[+][asc] abc\\ \feature[-][asc] abc \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo

blockligatures removing characters
by Ben Moon 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hi List, I'm using blockligatures to avoid the 'Th' ligature in some fonts but keep others. Recently I've found this removes the 'h' completely, i.e. 'Th' is changed to 'T', 'The' becomes 'Te' etc. Is there a way to restore the blockligatures functionality? I'm on ConTeXt version 2022.05.02 16:19. Here is a MWE using Almendra (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Almendra <https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Almendra?preview.text=Th%20Almost%20befor…>) from Google Fonts. ``` \starttypescriptcollection[myfont] \starttypescript[myfont] \definefontsynonym[Serif][Almendra-Regular][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[myfont] \definetypeface[\typescriptone][rm][serif][myfont][default][] \stoptypescript \stoptypescriptcollection \blockligatures[Th] \definefontfeature[default][default][liga=yes] \definefontfeature[default:nolig][default][liga=no] \definefontfeature[default:blocklig][default][liga=yes,blockligatures=yes] \setupbodyfont[myfont] \starttext The This These have the Th ligature and others (fi) \definedfont[Serif*default:nolig] The This These have no ligatures (not fi) \definedfont[Serif*default:blocklig] The This These are missing the `h' (fi) \stoptext ``` Best, Ben

I suppose there is no problem in doing so, and, of course, I'd gladly update the links for the next release in 6 months (I see you have already done that for the 32bits also, thank you!). I think a good solution instead of linking to all individual files, could be to link to the official download page once: http://www.pragma-ade.com/install.htm >So you plan to keep using the 32-bit binaries for OpenBSD? I am, yes. I am migrating almost all 32bit boxes both at work and at home to Haiku and OpenBSD, since Linux is getting more and more resource demanding day by day (even Devuan, which can be configured to be very lightweight). I would really appreciate if you kept providing them. Cheers, Ángel

OpenBSD install
by Angel M Alganza 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hello, I've just started upgrading some systems to OpenBSD 7.1 (released last month) and found out there isn't a link to download LMTX for OpenBSD 7.1 at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation. I then thought I'd try to see if the previous versions (for 6.9 or 6.8) would work on 7.1, but it turned out that all four links (for both 32bits and 64bits) won't work. FreeBSD and Linux links work fine, Any help for me to get the installation scripts for OpenBSD 7.1, please? Thank you in advance. Cheers, Ángel
