Does the current beta also provide a fix for the index bug (see below)?

help for the font problem
by Dalyoung Jeong 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi, all I have no problem to get an pdf output using XeTeX and XeLaTeX but, I got some errors using XeTeX+ XonTeXt. After many tests, I think that the error is related with the font (including Korean) which I installed privately. If I use the fonts installed by system, then everything is OK. The followings are the errors and error message I got. 1) There is a white space instead of figures. No error messages but no figures. However, if I changed the font, I got the pdf output directly containing figures. 2) font error message: xetext.xdv -> xetext.pdf [1 ** NOTICE: This document contains a `Preview & Print only' licensed font ** ] ** ERROR ** CFF: Invalid character. Output file removed. TeXExec | runtime: 5.386493 ~ However, I could get an pdf texts using "xdv2pdf" but still no figures. If I changed the font, then I got the pdf output without xdv2pdf. Hence, all the errors are originated from the font. I wonder whether it is the problem in my system only or not. Would someone try the following file using the given font(free to use)? And if you also get the same errors, then is there a You can download fonts freely from the following address: http://www.softmagic.com/HomePage/ko/03_down/download.jsp#04 In the middle of that page, you can see "Open type Fonts for Mac OS X", click "open type font 5" below the "download service". It contains 5 fonts, and try one of them. Thank you for help. Best Regards, Dalyoung %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \font\B="smJohabP\space Medium" at 12pt \starttext \B This is a test for \ConTeXt. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

new beta
by Hans Hagen 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. There is not so much new functionality (if so, taco will report that when there is a new release), but - some reshuffling of code (in order to solve some dependency ugliness in the load order) - this is also a bit of a preparation for replacing parts by lua enhanced code - a reimplementation (cleanup) of the core-fig module (with a split off core-trf) - a related simplification of some of the driver code - a (not times) speed up of graphic inclusions So, the big question here is "does graphic inclusion work as expected" Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Create a directory using tex
by Aditya Mahajan 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi, I want to create a macro that writes files in a sub directory. If the directory is already created, things work fine. However, if the directory is not there, tex complains ! I can't write on file .... Please type another output file name: Is there a way I can ask tex to create a directory if one does not exist? Aditya

latest ConTeXt and \quote
by Alan Bowen 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

I updated to 2006.08.29 11:11 and find now that \quote{} produces double quotes (“ ”) rather than single quotes (“ ”). \quotation{} still has its expected effect. Is this a bug or has something gone awry with my installation? Cheers, Alan

layout question
by richard rascher-friesenhausen 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hello, i have a simple (?) layout question. I want to typeset a doublesided text with a larger margin on one side. This margin will be filled with 'margin images' or 'margin remarks'. But sometimes, larger images have to be placed in the text+margin. Which commands, options or setups are correct, to get the same results on odd and even pages? In the attached pdf file, odd and even pages behave different, using a simple setup (see tex file). richard -- ============================================================================== Richard Rascher-Friesenhausen MeVis -- Centrum fuer Medizinische Diagnosesysteme und Visualisierung GmbH Universitaetsallee 29 D-28359 Bremen email: richard(a)mevis.de, richard.rascher-friesenhausen(a)hs-bremerhaven.de www : http://www.mevis.de/, http://www.hs-bremerhaven.de/ fon : +49 - 421 - 218 7707 (mevis) fax : +49 - 421 - 218 4236 (mevis) ============================================================================== % output=pdf %======================================================================= % begin of file *layout-test.tex* %======================================================================= % richard(a)mevis.de % layout %----------------------------------------------------------------------- \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[leftmargin=0.5in,rightmargin=2.3in,textwidth=5in] \setuplayout[width=fit, backspace=\dimexpr(\leftmarginwidth+\leftmargindistance)] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] %======================================================================= \starttext %======================================================================= The very first page with a small image in the (bigger) margin. \placefigure[inmargin]{a margin image} {\framed[width=\marginwidth,height=3cm]{image}} \input tufte An now a larger image in the text and margin are \placefigure[here,inmargin]{a text+margin image} {\framed[width=1.2\textwidth,height=3cm]{image}} \inmargin{Tufte text} \input tufte %----------------------------------------------------------------------- \page %----------------------------------------------------------------------- The second page with a small image in the (bigger) margin. \placefigure[inmargin]{a margin image} {\framed[width=\marginwidth,height=3cm]{image}} \input tufte An now a larger image in the text and margin are \placefigure[here,inmargin]{a text+margin image} {\framed[width=1.2\textwidth,height=3cm]{image}} \inmargin{Tufte text} \input tufte %======================================================================= \stoptext %======================================================================= % end of file *layout-test.tex* %=======================================================================

positioning a watermark
by Paul Jones 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hello, I am trying to create alternating watermarks behind the text of a book on odd and even pages. I was able to get this working with overlays fine, except that I could not figure out how to position them. (I would like them in the bottom outside corners) Using layers I could get them to repeat across pages if I \setupbackgrounds[text][text], but only the text on the odd pages showed up. I would really like to use \setupbackgrounds[page] so my offsets are from the edge of the page. So I guess I have a couple of questions. Is it possible to position overlays? Is it possible to repeat layers using [page]? Any guess as to why only the odd pages showed the watermark in the code below? Thanks for any help. paul %output=pdf \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setupcolors [state=start] \setupbackgrounds [text][text] [background=watermark,state=repeat] \definelayer [watermark] [position=yes] \startsetups watermark \doifoddpageelse {\framed[frame=off,foregroundcolor=gray]{\scale[sx=10,sy=10]{\rotate[rotation= 0.0]{forever}}}} {\framed[frame=off,foregroundcolor=gray]{\scale[sx=10,sy=10]{\rotate[rotation= 0.0]{together}}}} \stopsetups \starttext \setlayer[watermark][hoffset=1cm,voffset=1cm]{\setups{watermark}} \chapter{first} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter{second} \dorecurse{10}{\input davis } \chapter{third} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf } \chapter{fourth} \dorecurse{10}{\input bryson } \stoptext

Bug in way=...?
by Aditya Mahajan 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hi, Is setupwhatever[way=....] supposed to be global? Suppose I \setupformulas[way=bysection] for a section, and want to switch back to \setupformulas[way=bytext] in the next section, it does not work. Similar behaviour happens with \setupcaptions. Consider the following minimal example. \starttext \setupformulas[way=bysection] \setupcaptions[way=bysection] \section{One} This is a test \placeformula \startformula a \stopformula \placefigure {test}{} \setupformulas[way=bytext] \setupcaptions[way=bytext] \section{Two} This is a test \placeformula \startformula a \stopformula \placefigure {test}{} \stoptext Is this a bug, or just a crazy user request? Aditya
