Hi all, A friend of mine pointed out TeXmaker: http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/index.html Since I have not tried it, I can't say if one could use it with ConTeXt... For those who liked graphical editor: give it a try Cheers, Renaud

Font Question: Specific font sizes not working.
by David Wooten 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Greetings all, In the last week or so I started having a problem with fonts: what once worked stopped doing so, giving me the default font rather than my chosen fonts. I finally figured out that it is only certain sizes that are not working. For example, with: \usetypescriptfile[jensonpro] \usetypescript[jenson] \switchtobodyfont[jenson,11pt] \starttext Testing. \stoptext "\switchtododyfont" sizes 8pt, 10pt, 11pt, 13pt all still work, while 9pt and 12pt no longer do so... I recently updated ConTeXt and it remains the same. No change was made to my typescript files, and indeed in \definebodyfont those sizes are definitely listed: \starttypescript [serif] [Opticals] [size] \definebodyfont [13pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt][rm] ... \stoptypescript Any clues? Kind regards, David

Hello. IŽm new in this list and using Context. I make books for a small edit shop in Buenos Aires, Argentina specialized in Antropology. I used to work with Ventura publisher in windows, then I decided to use linux/latex, and after a few books using latex, iŽm trying to use Context because I think itŽs better. Anyway, itŽs dificult for me. Now, I need help in this: In latex, I use this command: \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Índice} .... \renewcommand{\chapter}{Capitulo} to obtain the names of the parts of the book in spanish. I only need in spanish Bobliography and Índice (Content). How can I obtain the same in Context? Thankyou very mach. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

starttextrule different from manual
by Hans van der Meer 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

The manual says (p.204): \starttextrule[.1.]{.2.}...\stoptextrule .1. top bottom .2. text But parameter [.1.] is not picked up and the code in core-rul.tex is: \def\starttextrule#1% instead of the expected \def\starttexrule{\dosingleargument \dostarttextrule} etc. Is this a deliberate change from the manual, so that I can cross out the parameter [.1.] there, or something else?

texfont produces faked ligatures with ec encoding
by Andreas Schneider 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hi, with the ec encoding, texfont produces faked ligatures, although the font has real fi and fl ligatures. With the texnansi encoding and the same commands, the ligatures are ok. (I checked this by compiling a simple sample file, just changing \setupencoding[default=ec] to \setupencoding[default=texnansi].) The font I'm trying to install is Bitstream Elegant Garamond (bgj) which I have got from a CorelDraw CD. I used the following commands to install the font (note that the fontroot is set because I create a Debian package): mkdir -p debian/font-elegantgaramond/usr/share/texmf texfont --fontroot=debian/font-elegantgaramond/usr/share/texmf --vendor=bitstrea --collection=eleggar --encoding=texnansi --makepath --install TeXFont 2.2.1 -

how to figure out the number of elements inside \defineconversion?
by Mojca Miklavec 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hello, I would like to \defineconversion and the use that set of symbols inside a metapost graphic. But I need to know the number of symbols, so that I can define enough "metapost images with symbols" in advance. I realise that there might be a problem since conversion can sometimes take an arbitrary number (using a command defined elsewhere), but if I could have a reasonable guess for conversions defined explicitely, that would already help a lot. (As a workaround and/or if there is no easy method to figure that out I can still hardcode "25" and wait until someone complains that that is not enough to satisfy his/her needs.) Thanks a lot, Mojca \startMPextensions numeric variant; variant = 1; vardef gp_the_symbol(expr n) = picture pict; % using metapost if variant=1: pict := image( fill fullcircle scaled 4pt; ); % TODO % using TeX, variant = 2 else: % TODO: limit the number first pict := sometxt(n); fi; pict shifted -center pict enddef ; def gp_point(expr x, y, n) = draw (gp_the_symbol(n) scaled 1 shifted (x,y)); enddef ; \stopMPextensions \starttext \defineconversion[abc][$\star$,$\bullet$,$\ast$] \startTeXtexts % TODO: 6 is only a guess: I need a better guess (3 in this case) \dostepwiserecurse{1}{6}{1}{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{{\convertnumber{abc}{\recurselevel}}}} \stopTeXtexts \startMPcode variant := 1; gp_point(1cm,0cm,1); gp_point(2cm,0cm,2); variant := 2; gp_point(1cm,1cm,1); gp_point(2cm,1cm,2); gp_point(3cm,1cm,3); gp_point(4cm,1cm,4); gp_point(5cm,1cm,8); \stopMPcode \stoptext
