MKIV: what about cont-en.fmt?
by Peter Münster 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hello, "texexec --make --all --luatex" creates cont-en.lua and cont-en.luc but no cont-en.fmt But "texexec --luatex test" seems to need an fmt-file: This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-beta-0.10.2-2007081316 (Web2C 7.5.6) luatex: /opt/TeX-live/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/92a04c9ffb33efd4ef40317f33cfad27/formats/cont-en.fmt: No such file or directory LuaTools | running command: luatex --fmt="/opt/TeX-live/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/92a04c9ffb33efd4ef40317f33cfad27/formats/cont-en" --lua="/opt/TeX-live/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/92a04c9ffb33efd4ef40317f33cfad27/formats/cont-en.luc" "test.tex" Where could be the problem? TIA for any hint! Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Problem with XML entities in titles
by Richard Gabriel 15 Aug '07

15 Aug '07

Hello Hans, I'd like to report a problem (bug) with XML entities in chapter or section titles. I've just upgraded to the recent ConTeXt version (2007.08.09) and started to get errors while processing the .tuo file. Please test the attached minimal example. During the second TeX run, I get the following error: --- cut --- (./test.tuo ! Misplaced alignment tab character &. <argument> This is a testing chapter \listtextcommand #1->\begstrut #1 \endstrut \doattributes ...sname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4}\dostopattributes <argument> ...ry {This is a testing chapter}} \egroup \ifdim \wd 4=\zero... \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 \dosomelistelement ...hss \dostoplistattributes }} \endgraf \nointerlineskip ... ... l.29 ...p;testing chapter}{2--0-1-0-0-0-0-0--2}{2} --- cut --- (find the complete log in attachment) Till today, I have been using ConTeXt version 2007.04.17 and it had worked fine! Thanks, Richard

I am looking for a good way to convert these fonts to type1, but textrace and mftrace don't run under windows and the results of mf2pt1 are not (yet) ok. I am working on this. Has anybody ever tried to rewrite metafont to produce type1 fonts? Wolfgang

MKIV: format file

Hello, this time I tried justtex.zip and linux64tex.zip. The result is quite similar to my previous problem report, but the error message is different, this time I get: Error in lua file loading: /tmp/luatex-cache/context/4913490bb74a73b0e92e743f174b9db3/formats/cont-en.luc: bad header in precompiled chunk LuaTools | running command: luatex --fmt="/tmp/luatex-cache/context/4913490bb74a73b0e92e743f174b9db3/formats/cont-en" --lua="/tmp/luatex-cache/context/4913490bb74a73b0e92e743f174b9db3/formats/cont-en.luc" "test.tex" This is, what I did: - unzipping justtex.zip - unzipping linux64tex.zip - . ./setuptex - texexec --make --alone --luatex (or texexec --make --all --luatex) The last command does not create any cont-en.fmt file. Any ideas? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

wierd problem
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 14 Aug '07

Hello, I use \usetypescriptfile[mytypescripts] \usetypescript[acaslonpro] in the main file. The mytypescrips file looks like %Adobe Caslon Pro typeface \starttypescript [serif] [acaslonpro] \definefontsynonym [ACaslonProRegular][name:ACaslonPro-Regular][features=default] \definefontsynonym [ACaslonProItalic][name:ACaslonPro-Italic][features=default] \definefontsynonym [ACaslonProBold][name:ACaslonPro-Bold][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [acaslonpro] \definefontsynonym [Serif][ACaslonProRegular][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic][ACaslonProItalic][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold][ACaslonProBold][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [acaslonpro] \definetypeface[acaslonpro][rm][serif][acaslonpro][default] \stoptypescript If to remove start/stop around \definetypeface, luatex enters infine loop. Best, Vyatchelsav

mimimal typescripting
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hello, I'm wondering why before defining a typeface I must define a synonym for it. For example, my minimal working definition for Vladimir Script fontface is \starttypescript [serif] [vladimirscript] \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:vladimir][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [vladimirscript] \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [vladimirscript] [default] \stoptypescript Being XeTeX-adherent, it is a pain for me write that all for every font I use. Why I cannot specify it as simply as \starttypescript [vladimirscript] \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [name:vladimir] [default] \stoptypescript or better just \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [name:vladimir] [default] without any synonyms? -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

images in table - luatex freezed
by zs 14 Aug '07

Hi This code causes context/luatex to freeze using 100% of CPU. \useexternalfigure[img_a][img1.png][type=png] \useexternalfigure[img_b][img2.png][type=png] \starttext \placefigure[][]{Two images, itemized decsription} { \setupbodyfont[9pt] \starttable[|cs(1cm)|c|] \NC \externalfigure[img_a][height=5cm] \NC \externalfigure[img_b][height=5cm] \NC\NR \NC (a) \NC (b) \SR \NC \use{2}\ReFormat[l]{\hskip 4em (a) A very nice woman.} \AR \NC \use{2}\ReFormat[l]{\hskip 4em (b) An ugly man.} \AR \stoptable } \stoptext Any idea why? The code worked in context/pdftex from texlive. It has nothing to do with particular images (tried different png, jpg). Source code and sample images are attached. ZS PS. Something similar to following should be produced: \placefigure[][]{Two images} { \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[img_a][height=5cm]}{(a) A very nice woman.} {\externalfigure[img_b][height=5cm]}{(b) An ugly man.} \stopcombination }

This is what I tried. \starttext \starttabulate \NC tufte \NC \input tufte \NR \NC zapf \NC \input zapf \NR \stoptabulate \starttabulate \NC tufte \NC \input tufte \NR \noalign{Some quotes} \NC zapf \NC \input zapf \NR \stoptabulate \starttabulate \NC tufte \NC \input tufte \NR \TABLEnoalign{Some quotes} \NC zapf \NC \input zapf \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Suggestions? Aditya
