bold versions of fonts
by Jörg Hagmann 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi all, I have installed the LinLibertine and Junicode fonts on Linux Ubuntu, minimal tex version. They only work if I comment out the lines concerning the Bold versions of the fonts in my type-scripts. With those lines, the error is: ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.23 13:32 MKII fmt: 2007.2.4 int: english/english ..... ! Font \*MyJunicode7ptrmbfrm*:=[Junicode-Bold at 7.0pt not loadable: Metric (TF M) file not found. <to be read again> \relax \xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \dodosettextfamilyB ...amily \fontsize \endcsname \else \ifcsname \fontclass... \dosettextfamily ...ttextfamily \scriptscriptfont \let \fontbody \scriptface... <inserted text> ...y \c!tf \dosettextfamily \c!bf \dosettextfamily \c!sl \do... \synchronizetext ...athfonts \the \textstrategies \fi ... l.4 \setupbodyfont[MyJunicode,12pt] *************************** The lines I had to comment out are: \definefontsynonym [Junicode-Bold] [texnansi-Junicode-Bold] [encoding=texnansi] and \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Junicode-Bold] The fact that the problem occurs with two different fonts and type- scripts should exclude a typo. Thanks for your help, Jörg

vertical stretch for TABLE ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi, I understood that … \bTABLE[option=stretch] … gives a horizontal stretch, so that a TABLE snaps left and right to the frame (\showframe text edges). When along table is split over several pages with \bTABLE[split=yes] it is very unlikely that the bottom-line of the bottom most row sits on the bottom-line of the text frame. Is there also a kind of \bTABLE[split=yes,option=vstretch] that gives this little stretch over the page's respective rows so that there is also a vertical snap to the text frame? Or is this a too weird request? Steffen

From your simples example, I think I should read the manual more carefully and do some experiments. Furthermore, could you give pointers to style alternatives documentation or links? Yours, Zulkifli

Source and Result Side by Side
by Helin Gai 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi all, I'm wondering how I can achieve the effect similar to that in books like The LaTeX Companion, where the source and the final result are placed side by side in two boxes. Thanks!

\startalign and "underline"
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hello, is there a nice way to [mis]use \startalign or combine it with something else to typeset equations like the following one (in a fixed-width font)? a + b = 9 a - b = 3 ___________ 2a = 12 Thanks for any hints, Mojca

edge+text figure
by Johan Sandblom 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

With the help of details.pdf, I have managed to define edgefigures that use the margin and goes into the text and if it is wide enough (criterium=xxx) becomes a normal figure. Is it possible to make an even wider figure use both the textwidth and the margin? I have tried to illustrate what I want below, a figure is placed as f1 until criterium is met, then it is placed like f2, and I would like to know how to achieve f3. It is not necessary that it is called the same thing and automatic, they are easily identified before.

Tip: PlaceRegisterInline
by Mike Bird 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

In Context one can use registers for powerful sorting with single or multiple keys. However, it's a little tricky if you want the result to appear other than one element per line. Here's a macro that does the job: \def\PlaceRegisterInline[#1,#2,#3]{% Register Before After \bgroup \let\par=\empty \let\endgraf=\empty \edef\goodbreak{#2}% \let\doregistercharactera=\doregistercharacterb \placeregister[#1][% after=,% before=,% distance={0em{#3}},% indicator=no,% n=1,% symbol=none]% \egroup} For example, to place elements of register R in brackets one can use \PlaceInlineRegister[R,{[},{]}] and achieve something like [A][B][C]. --Mike Bird

problem with inline use of \lim
by M.J. Kallen 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi all, this may have been mentioned before, but I haven't been able to find an answer to this: if I e.g. use $\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty} f(t)$, the subscript of \lim appears underneath it, i.e. in displaystyle. In LaTeX, it appears below right of \lim, much like with $\sum_{i=1}$. The latter behaviour is of course preferred. I use ConTeXt version 2006.08.08, is this bug/feature know and has it possibly been fixed up to now?
