t-greek module and Latin Modern
by Alan Bowen 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hans and all other font wizards— Thomas and I have been stumped by problem that arises when one re- installs Latin Modern (in order to get margin kerning) and uses the t- greek module. Thomas suspects that Latin Modern, being a "clone" of Computer Modern, comes in different design sizes and uses slightly different fonts for different sizes. This setup breaks when the t- greek module expects to have a completely scalable font. But this is only a guess, as he says. The problem may be described as follows: A. If I do not re-install Latin Modern (and thus forego margin kerning and so forth), there is no problem: I can vary the typesize of the footnotes and insert Greek at will. I use the following code for this: \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \definebodyfont[10.5pt][rm][default] \setupbodyfont[modern,10.5pt] \setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers, way=bytext,location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=9.5pt,style=normal] \usemodule[t-greek] \setupfontsynonym[Alkaios][handling=grkpure] \setupfontsynonym[GreekOxoniensis][handling=grkpure] \setupgreek[font=Alkaios,altfont=GreekOxoniensis,scale=0.9] B. If I do reinstall the Latin Modern, I get “Arithmetic overflow errors” when there is Greek in the footnotes. My code for this is: \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \starttypescript[serif][default][size] \definebodyfont[10.5pt][rm][default] %<<< \definebodyfont[10.5pt][mm][default] \stoptypescript \setupfontsynonym[Serif][handling=normal] \usetypescript[modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern,10.5pt] \setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers, way=bytext,location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=9.5pt,style=normal] \usemodule[t-greek] \setupfontsynonym[GreekOxoniensis][handling=greekpure] \setupfontsynonym[GreekDioxipe][handling=greekpure] \setupgreek[font=GreekOxoniensis,scale=1.15] \setupgreek[altfont=GreekDioxipe,scale=1.15] But remove the Greek from the notes and all is well. Note that inserting \definebodyfont[10.5pt,9.5pt][rm][default] at the line <<< (above) fails with the same error message even when there is no Greek in the footnotes. If you have any suggestions on this, we would be grateful to receive them. All best, Alan

RLXTOOLS ?
by Michal Kvasnicka 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Good evening. How can I make RLXTOOLS to regenerate a figure when its dimensions in the TeX file are changed? (What I mean is this: For screen version of my documents I downscale JPGs to 100ppi. But it depends on the size given by the TeX file. So I'd like RLXTools to regenerate the figure when I change \externalfigure[bum.jpg][width=\textwidth] to \externalfigure[bum.jpg][width=\makeupwidth] for instance (while in columns).) How can I get force it to do it? Many thanks for you kind answer. And many thanks to Mr. Hagen for this wonderful tool -- it's much better than my semimanual use of Make. Yours Michal Kvasnicka

Hi all, I need to print labels on this kind of paper: - A4 page with 24 labels (70mm x 36mm) - 3 columns and 8 rows - 4.5mm top margin, 4.5mm bottom margin I use: \definepapersize[DECAdry-70x36][width=70mm,height=36mm] \setuppapersize[DECAdry-70x36][A4] \setuppaper[nx=3,ny=8] \setuparranging[XY] I just need to know how to reserve a vertical white space (4.5mm) from the top of the A4 page and put all my labels side-by-side (vertically and horizontally).

Docs package request
by Idris Samawi Hamid 31 May '06

31 May '06

Dear Hans, Would it be possible to add a complete documentation package zip to this page: http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm Basically it would just be the /ConTeXt/doc folder and nothing else. This is far easier for absolute beginners than navigating the website and playing with wget and getting the directory structure right etc. Right now I am telling interested parties to download mswincontesxt.zip, extract the docs directory, and fire up showcase.pdf. Having a docs zip package would make it even easier.

two languages side-by-side
by Thomas Telkamp 31 May '06

31 May '06

I would like to set a text with two languages side-by-side, either on facing pages, or in two columns. There are some LaTeX packages available to do so, but how could this be best done in ConTeXt? Any help would be appreciated. regards, Thomas Telkamp

missing fonts
by Hans van der Meer 31 May '06

31 May '06

I thought I had a fairly normal tetex tree with the latest lm fonts installed. Can someone guess why I am getting a host of missing font messages in a context run? Something in the wrong place or absent? The log contains: (./front.tex fonts : resetting map file list fonts : using map file: original-base fonts : using map file: ec-public-lm fonts : using map file: ec-base fonts : using map file: original-ams-base fonts : using map file: original-public-lm fonts : using map file: texnansi-yandy fonts : using map file: texnansi-base (./syllabus-s.tuo) (./copyright.tex) [1.1{/usr/local/teTeX/share/ texmf-local/fo nts/map/dvipdfm/context/original-empty.map}{/usr/local/teTeX/share/ texmf-local/ fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/original-base.map Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/ dvipdfm/con text/original-base.map): invalid entry for `fmvr8x': font file missing Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/ dvipdfm/con text/original-base.map): invalid entry for `xycmat11': font file missing ........

However there is a warning message left: TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 metapost : test-mpgraph format : metafun This is MetaPost, Version 0.901 (Web2C 7.5.3) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/web2c/natural.tcx) total run time : 0 seconds warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead [MP to PDF] (./test-mpgraph.1) (./test.tuo) Since this message results from the internals of "texmfstart texexec" it might be a leftover lonely "texexec" in the scripts. I tried to find it, but could not find my way around the ruby scripts. Hans van der Meer

Learning
by Johan Blixt-Dackhammar 30 May '06

30 May '06

Hi, I'm trying to learn ConTeXt and has so far read parts of the manuals available on the website (http://www.pragma-ade.com) However, I feel that these manuals only give me a quite limited knowledge. Therefore I wonder if there are any chance that the source code for some advanced documents are available on the internet. Some of the really well designed manuals (eg. "XML in ConTeXt", "Charts in ConTeXt" and "ConTeXt - an excursion") or other documents with a high level of design. On to another subject, I'm having trouble using the chart module. I get no errors while typesetting, but the flowcharts doesn't show up. The only command that showed anything among the ones I tried was \FLOWchart[grid]. Has the commands changed since the chart manual("Charts uncovered") was written? -Johan
