\nullfont fontdimen problem
by Alan Bowen 04 Feb '07

04 Feb '07

I have just changed my TeX distribution from the old teTeX to the latest gwTeX. When typesetting a document that used to process properly, I now get the error message: [1.56] [2.57] [3.58] [4.59] [5.60] references : unknown reference [][fnt:t:1] references : unknown reference [][fnt:f:1] ! Font \nullfont has only 7 fontdimen parameters. <to be read again> \advance \dohighlow ...#2\textfont 2\else #3ex\fi \advance \scratchdimen #4ex \kern .... <argument> ...ednote \v!nextpage \v!previouspage } } \doifreferencefoundelse ...ferencefound #2\else #3 \fi \egroup \doresetgotowh... \gotobox ...2]} {\hbox {\unknownreference {#2}#1}} \referenceinfo {<} {#2}\egr... <argument> ...[\s!fnt :f:\internalfootreference ]} \fi \doifelse {\noteparame... ... l.74 \footnote{ xxxxxxxx} Any suggestions about what this means and how I might solve the problem will be very much appreciated. I note that the problem may concern Latin Modern: the same setup produces footnotes as expected when I use the gtmacfonts, for example. Alan

bib modules compress a lot
by Aditya Mahajan 04 Feb '07

Hi Taco, I have the following setup for my bibliographies \usemodule [bib] \setupbibtex [database={IEEEfull,../../collection}] \setuppublications [alternative=num] \setupcite [num] [compress=yes] When I use \cite[ref1, ref2] I get [1-2]. For only two references, shouldn't this be [1,2]? Aditya

postscript problem
by Peter Rolf 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi, I have a problem with the postscript output of a MP graphic. The (attached) ps file contains a single blank line, which breaks the conversion by mptopdf. [..] [MP to PDF] (./test-mpgraph.1 Runaway argument? ! Paragraph ended before \handleMPsequence was complete. <to be read again> \par l.19 ? The file is converted by mptopdf, if I remove that blank line. Here is a minimal example. \setupoutput[pdftex] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \startreusableMPgraphic{foo} draw unitsquare xyscaled(4cm,4cm) withpen pencircle scaled 1pt shifted(1cm,1cm) ; \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \null \useMPgraphic{foo} \stoptext I've tested it on context live, but the versions of pdftex and metapost are too old (but work without errors) for any comparison. Used versions: pdftex 1.40.1, metapost 0.933, context 18.01.2007 Any hints welcome. Peter

Another test result using ConTeXt + XeTeX
by Jeong Dalyoung 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Dear Mojca, As you told me, I changed "outputdriver" in tex.rb from xdvipdfmx to xdv2pdf and run it. There is no delay at all, but the output pdf lost color and mp stuffs. I think that it is better to use xdvipdfmx even though it took more times. During the test, I found a strange result. Here is the last part of the log file. %%%%%%%%%%% systems : no file 'cont-sys.tex', using 'cont-sys.rme' instead ) ) [7][8][9] <--- at this point, TeXniscope redisplay the pdf file in which backgroundscreen or backgroundcolor is well applied 81117 bytes written Output written on combimain.pdf (9 pages).

Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Bib module error handling
by Oliver Buerschaper 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi Taco, talking about the bib module ... I usually get confused when I cite a reference in the text but accidentally use the wrong citation key or have forgotten to put the record into my bib file at all. Instead of screaming question marks in the pdf output ConTeXt tacidly typesets a reference number and adds an empty entry to the list of references. Is this really desired? After all, it makes tracking down the wrong \cite command a bit of an issue ... admittedly some warnings show up in the log but definitely not on the pdf printout. Would it be possible to adopt the same error handling as for \in and friends? Best, Oliver

XeTeX and OpenType LM
by Mojca Miklavec 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hello, Since there are serious problems with XeTeX on non-TeXLive distributions anyway: why not mess it up properly this time? The attached file seems to work OK, although kpathsea complains a bit (but these are only warnings - no serious problems; perhaps other macros could or should be adapted - I didn't dig too much into the internals): kpathsea: Illegal fontname `[lmsans12-regular]': contains '[' kpathsea: Illegal fontname `[lmsans10-bold]': contains '[' kpathsea: Illegal fontname `[lmsans12-oblique]': contains '[' kpathsea: Illegal fontname `[lmtypewriter12-regular]': contains '[' kpathsea: Illegal fontname `[lmtypewriter10-oblique]': contains '[' Can someone please take a look? I don't know how well this integrates with luaTeX. Perhaps the name can be changed from \definexetexfontsynonym to \defineotffontsynonym or something similar, so that the underlying code can then differ depending on whether it's luatex or XeTeX the one which has to access the otf fonts. If this or a modified version of it makes it into the core, I would suggest another (slightly radical) change - to redefine default encoding to "uc" instead of "ec" for XeTeX (and luatex) before loading the formats. It would be really great if the default XeTeX settings would simply work out-of-the-box, contrary to now, when the default ec-lmr is nearly useless. Mojca

longer ConTeXt+XeTeX compile time than before
by Jeong Dalyoung 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

Dear all, Recently I updated TeXlive and ConTeXt. After that the compiling time of a file under ConTeXt+XeTeX became longer than before. However, there is no change when I compiled the files using ConTeXt. I tested the same file using the previous ConTeXt version in the another Mac and found that there was no delay. The big difference between them as follows: 1. part of log file under new version ..... (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/cont-err.tex systems : no file 'cont-sys.tex', using 'cont-sys.rme' instead ) ) <at here, it paused for long time> stdin -> speedtest.pdf [1] 8949 bytes written Output written on speedtest.pdf (1 page). Transcript written on speedtest.log. TeXUtil | parsing file speedtest.tui TeXUtil | shortcuts : 169 TeXUtil | expansions: 308 TeXUtil | reductions: 0 TeXUtil | divisions : 0 TeXUtil | loaded files: 1 TeXUtil | temporary files: 0 TeXUtil | commands: 25 TeXUtil | programs: 0 TeXUtil | tuo file saved TeXExec | runtime: 47.741367 In another Mac installed the previous version, "speedtest.xdv -> speedtest.pdf" instead "stdin -> speedtest.pdf" I don't know why two machines made pdf files in different ways, but I assume that "stdin -> speedtest.pdf" is the cause of the delay. My powerbook is 1.33GHz PowerPC G4. Would some one try the following file and see what happen? Thank you. Regards, Dalyoung %%%%%%%%%%%%% \font\A="Hoefler\space Text" at 24pt \starttext \A “Hello world!” \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Letters in ConTeXt
by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

the one thing that stops my total conversion to ConTeXt is my lack of understanding of, er, context. I've studied the manual "Corresponcence" which presupposes far better understanding of ConTeXt than I currently possess. I imagine though that a useful short working example would help. anyone? -- Rolf Lindgren roffe(a)extern.uio.no
