new font bugs
by Idris Samawi Hamid 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Dear gang, Does anyone understand the following font error? The file used to work for over a year till I installed the latest ConTeXt files: ======================================= ! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable fonts. \actualshipout ... \box \postponedcontent \box 0}} \else \message {[\ifarrang... \myshipout ... \fi {\thisisrealpage \realfolio #1} \gotonextrealpage \aftersh... \dofinaloutput ...agebody #1#2\setpagecounters }}} \fi \the \everyaftershipou... \finaloutput ...EAEAEA \dofinaloutput \fi \fi #1#2 \resetselectiepagina \incr... \sidefloatoutput ...e \else \finalsidefloatoutput \global \sidefloatvsize \n... <argument> ...\fi \else \the \defaultstreamoutput \fi ... l.70 ======================================= The problem with making a sample file is that it involves a non-standard font (minion expert) with a lot of setup and so may be difficult to emulate. Indeed, my entire MinionProOpticals setup does not work at all anymore. A clue: Another file gives in the log: ========================================= pdfTeX warning: pdftex.exe (file texnansi-axoc-MinionPro-SemiboldItSubh): Font texnansi-axoc-MinionPro-SemiboldItSubh at 720 not found ========================================= But the tfm texnansi-axoc-MinionPro-SemiboldItSubh is found in \ConTeXt\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\tfm\adobe\minion and the vf in \ConTeXt\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\vf\adobe\minion Please help!

Latest ConTeXt releases (please read)
by Taco Hoekwater 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi, The ConTeXt releases starting from 2007.01.12 have a few major changes that seem to catch some people unawares. 1. As of 2007.01.12, ConTeXt uses a 'pdftex' executable, no longer 'pdfetex'. This matches up with the release of pdftex 1.40, where there no longer is a separate 'pdfetex' executable. There are two ways out of this: - Apparently an old install of pdftex can still run, but only if you copy the 'pdfetex' executable to the name 'pdftex'. - But a better option is to update to pdftex 1.40, if that is possible for you. If your distribution does not offer a 1.40 package yet, you can try to compile and install pdftex yourself. The sources are available here: http://sarovar.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=106 2. As of 2007.01.18, ConTeXt uses Latin Modern math fonts instead of computer modern. Unfortunately, most distributions still have a rather old version of the Latin Modern package, that does not have these fonts, so you may get 'Cannot find font ...' errors from TeX. The possible font names are 'rm-lmr', 'lmmi', 'lmsy' and 'lmex' (with a pointsize attached), so if you see such errors, you need to update our installation. If your distribution does not offer a latin modern 1.01 package yet, you can fetch the fonts from either CTAN or the Gust website. CTAN: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/lm/ GUST: http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern 3. If you use XeTeX or aleph, there is yet another problem: the latin modern package does not itself contain dvipdfmx map files. This means (x)dvipdfmx will likely find the ones intended for pdftex instead, and it will generate a lot of warnings and errors. ConTeXt comes with a tool to generate dvipdfmx-type map files automatically, but you have to run it manually. It is a commandline tool, and you have to run it like so: ctxtools --dpx --force <texmfroot> You need to replace <texmfroot> with the toplevel texmf directory where the latin-modern font map files are. While on the commandline, you can type in kpsewhich lm-math.map If it returns /opt/tex/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map, then the <texmfroot> is /opt/tex/texmf-local, and the full commandline is ctxtools --dpx --force /opt/tex/texmf-local I hope this explains most of the problems people have been having. If you or your distribution can not handle the required upgrades above, you should not update context at all, it will only give you grief (and broken output). In case this warning comes to late, all previous versions of ConTeXt are still available for download from the museum: https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=14 you probably want either 2007.01.12 or 2007.01.09. Happy TeXing, Taco

setupTABLE not honoring align=
by Aditya Mahajan 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hi, There is something wrong with \setupTABLE. The align= is being ignored (this is very old code, so this used to work) \setupTABLE[frame=on,width=3em,height=3em,align={middle,lohi}] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \bTD 5 \eTD \bTD 6 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE The cells are of the right size, but the numbers are not aligned in the middle. If I give the options to \bTABLE it works. \bTABLE[topframe=on,rightframe=on,width=3em,height=3em,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \bTD 5 \eTD \bTD 6 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE I am using ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.23 13:32 MKII Another point. One of my old code contained \setupTABLE[...,corner=none] which now gives an error, since \framed[corner=none]{...} gives an error (Missing number, treated as zero). Isn't corner=none supposed to work? Aditya

Unicode input problem
by Christos Chryssochoidis 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hello, I 'm trying to use the t-greek module to write ancient greek in ConTeXt, giving the text in unicode (with greek characters). With the default font (Ibycus I think), when the input is in greek characters, iota subscript doesn't appear in the result pdf, or it gets garbled with the other letters. In contrary, with the same font, when the input is in the Babel way (in latin characters; iota subscript as '|'), the character with the iota subcript appears ok in the pdf. With other fonts of the module this problem doesn't appear. As Ibycus font is, as I noticed, one of the best fonts of the module, I would appreciate your help on resolving this font issue.

new cv-resume module
by Idris Samawi Hamid 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Dear gang, A couple of days ago I decided to port my old LaTeX cv to ConTeXt. Could not find any ConTeXt templates, and the currvita.sty referred to in the ConTeXt archives was ugly compared to my present cv. So I wrote an experimental module which I present here. Following is the module and a sample file. Please give me your suggestions for improvement, and any of you should feel free to post it to the wiki.

OverlayLineWidth
by Hans van der Meer 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

What happened to OverlayLineWidth since august 2006? I had taken the following background taken from the Green presentation style (s-pre-02), working satisfactorily without need to define the OverlayLineWidth parameter: \startuniqueMPgraphic{PageBackground} fill unitsquare xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) withcolor OverlayColor ; draw unitsquare xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) enlarged (-2*OverlayLineWidth) withpen pencircle scaled OverlayLineWidth withcolor OverlayLineColor ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic Now suddenly the OverlayLineWidth seems to have turned into zero and the frames do not come out as previously. What happened? Did I miss some change or need to explict initialization? Where? Hans van der Meer
