Re: [NTG-context] Placing table of contents in a frame

Frank, I am also trying to do a similar project. My way not be a good one, but here is how I am trying to do it. Basically, I use columnsets (see manual columns.pdf from PRAGMA) to typeset my newsletter. I am using a 3 column layout and want a column containing the "Table of Contents" on the right side (3rd column). \definecolumnset[example][n=3] \setupcolumnsetlines[example][1][3][-50] % From Page 1, Column 3, % remove 50 lines % I will put the TOC on % Column 3 \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \placefigure[fxtb:3*1]{none}{\framed[frame=off, height=5cm, width=\textwidth, background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow]{\blue\txx\placecontent}} \input Newsletter_Final \stopcolumnset \stoptext Saji .. > I'm trying to move a newsletter from a DTP program to ConTeXt.

MyriadPro?
by Michal Kvasnicka 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Good evening. I tried to use MyriadPro font (associated with Linux version of AdobeReader 7.x). First I've converted it to .afm/.pfb through FontForge (with default setting since I don't know how to use it). Then I've generated metrics and the rest TeX stuff with texfont---I've used lm-ec encoding. (I know that this way I loose all those wonderful features of Profi fonts---I don't care, I simply like basic look of the font.) All worked well in ConTeXt---until I found that Czech letters (those with acutes and carons and rings) are present only in the Regular font, not in the Bold and Italic. Can you explain me 1) how is it possible, and 2) how to use this font to typeset Czech documents (i.e. to get a full ec-encoded fonts from it)? Can I expect the same kind of problems with MinionPro as well? Many thanks for your answers. I wish you nice summer. Michal Kvasnicka

Metapost label alignment etc.
by Idris Samawi Hamid 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Dear knights, I spent a few hours today with MetaPost and MetaFun, my first serious stab at Meta in many years, so I'm a virtual newbie (used PSTricks back in the LaTeX days). I am trying to basically duplicate the attached pdf graphic and need help with the following: 1. This code is pretty naive; how can I make it more efficient? Eg, can I make a global "scaled 1cm" declaration instead of repeating it so many times? 2. ConTeXt's alignment mechanism apparently does not work in MetaPost (alignment is commented); is there a workaround? ragged left needed for some labels. 3. What is the most efficient way to get labels to follow the diagonals as in the attached pdf? Any tips/trick will be appreciated!

Checksum mismatch for lucida
by Renaud AUBIN 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

Hi all, I have lucida fonts installed and the resulting pdf is ok but I obtained with texexec the following warning: DVItoMP warning: Checksum mismatch for texnansi-lbr (...or another lucida font) I assume it is a problem with .map files on my installation but... Maybe one of you has already dealt with this problem ? (I use debian testing + tetex + context in ~/texmf) Renaud

Aditya, Thanks for the reply. The Wiki has information on installing (or updating) context from a distribution such as teteX. Anyway a minimal install turned out to be quite a simple process.

framed and align=no
by Hans van der Meer 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

I seem to have a problem with alignment in \framed; these are small examples with there outcome: \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{xyz} "no" comes out to the left} \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{\hfil xyz} "no" comes out in the middle} \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=middle]{\hfil xyz} "middle" comes out to the right} \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=right]{\hfil xyz} "right" comes out in the middle} \leftaligned{\framed[width=4cm,align=right]{xyz} "right" comes out to the left} I get the impression that although "align=no", there still is a \hfil put in at the right. Searched through the sources, especially core-rule.tex but could not find the right place; it is fairly complicated code, isn't it? Using \hfill to force the alignment is not an option, because I need that for overriding the alignment when using these alignments in macros. I would like very much to have "align=no" putting no glue, neither to the right nor to the left, thus making it different from "align=right". If I am right: 1. can someone point me to the point in the source where I can change things for the moment? 2. will this be changed then in the next release? Hans van der Meer
