Strange lucida bright math issue
by Helin Gai 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

Hi all, After upgrading to TeXLive 2007, I'm experiencing a strange issue with Lucida Bright. It seems that none of the math font is working. The system keeps reporting "TFM file can't be found" even though it's there. The normal text (nonmath) -- roman/sans serif, etc., is working. What can I do now? Thanks in advance!

installationproblem with context-distribution: xetex not working
by Henning Haeske 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

Hello, I started this night the installation-instruction from: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_User_Installation and then i continued with: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/XeTeX texexec --pdf first.tex is working fine, but the xetex is not working: fonts : using map file: t5-public-lm [1.1] systems : end file first at line 10 ) (see the transcript file for additional information) stdin -> first.pdf [1 ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fotmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: ec-lmb10 LMRoman10-Demi "enclmec ReEncodeFont" <lm-ec.enc <lmb10.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="lm-ec.map", line=7. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fotmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: lmbsy5 LMMathSymbols5-BoldItalic "enclmmathsy ReEncodeFont" <lm-mathsy.enc <lmbsy5.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="lm-math.map", line=7. ** WARNING ** Could not locate a virtual/physical font for TFM "ec-lmr12". ** WARNING ** >> There are no valid font mapping entry for this font. ** WARNING ** >> Font file name "ec-lmr12" was assumed but failed to locate that font. ** ERROR ** Cannot proceed without .vf or "physical" font for PDF output... Output file removed. I also tried fixing this with this note: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070130.082837.4bc51f61.en.html But I am still getting the same error messages.... My context-directories are having following structure: ../tex/texmf/... ../tex/texmf-local/.. ../tex/texmf-fonts/.. ../tex/texmf-extra/.. ../tex/texmf-linux/.. Is this structure ok? Looks a little bit different than it was with latex. I would be glad for any help to finilize my first step from latex to context. thanks in advance, H.

Fonts, typescripts and math ??
by w.neimeijer＠hccnet.nl 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Hi, The following used to work \usetypescript[modern][default] \usetypescript[times][ec] \definetypeface[MyFace][rm][serif][times][default][encoding=ec] \definetypeface[MyFace][mm][math][modern][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[MyFace,10pt] \starttext $\dot{x}, \ddot{y}$. $\bar{z}, \Delta z$. \showmathcharacters \stoptext but now some math characters i.e \Delta are showing up us ` in the text. Also the \bar{z} renders as a bar through the z instead of above. I thought I understood the font selection mechanism, but now I am confused. I am using the latest Context (ConTeXt ver: 2007.02.20 12:00 MKII fmt: 2007.2.23 int: english/english) and also installed the latest Latin-Modern stuff as stated in the release notes. Kind regards Wim

Feature request for font-ini

Hi Hans, Can the following be added to font-ini? \definealternativestyle [\v!boldsans,\v!sansbold] [\bf\ss] [] Writing \setuphead [section,subject] [textstyle=\bf\ss, numberstyle=\bf\ss] does not feel ConTeXtish :) Aditya

simplecolumns
by Hans van der Meer 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

\simplecolumns have served me well. However, it seems a bit shy to respond to \setupcolumns (although in file page-mul.tex the definition of \setupcolumns preceeds that of \startsimplecolumns). For example, the following typesets 2 columns instead of 4; to set 4 columns \startsimplecolumns[4] is required. \starttext \setupcolumns[n=4] \startsimplecolumns \input tufte \stopsimplecolumns \stoptext Can someone tell me if \setupcolumns has any effect on the typesetting of simplecolumns? Which parameters of those on \setupcolumns are effective in simplecolumns? Not all do, as for example rule=on seems to have no effect. Hans van der Meer

Limitation on natural tables.
by John R. Culleton 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

The fancy tricks one can to with Natural Tables seem to work within the body of the table where I don't need them but fail in the header area where I do need them. This example, takein from the wiki, works (of course.) \setupTABLE[row][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=red, width=.2\textwidth] \bTABLE[split=yes] \bTR \bTD[nr=3] 1 \eTD \bTD[nc=2] 2/3 \eTD \bTD[nr=3] 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nc=3] 1/2/3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE But if I convert the above data items to header items the run fails. Specifically the following fails: \setupTABLE[row][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=red, width=.2\textwidth] \bTABLE[split=yes] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH[nr=3] 1 \eTH \bTH[nc=2] 2/3 \eTH \bTH[nr=3] 4 \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTH 2 \eTH \bTH 3 \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTH 2 \eTH \bTH 3 \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTH[nc=3] 1/2/3 \eTH \bTH 4 \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTH 1 \eTH \bTH 2 \eTH \bTH 3 \eTH \bTH 4 \eTH \eTR \eTABlehead \eTABLE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What did I miss?
