Building and installing pdftex 1.30 on teTeX 3.0
by Nikolai Weibull 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I've followed the instructions listed at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation, but it won't quite give. The problem is that I use the Gentoo installation setup as a base and have the latest ConTeXt installed in /usr/local/share. Does anyone know what options to pass to pdftex's configure-script to match the setup on a Gentoo system (where stuff is stored in /etc/texmf and /var/lib/texmf)?

30 Nov '05

Hi everybody, I'm going to install context on a linux box (ubuntu 5.10). 1) I wish to hear texnicians (rather than aficionados) words on wich tex distro fit best for mainly context use, on fonts optimisation, for exemple, etc. 2) is informations on contextgarden wiki are still uptodate for tetex install ? TIA -- Olivier TURLIER

Re: [NTG-context] Iwona font
by David Arnold 30 Nov '05

Hans, Gerben, No luck. Got the fonts at: http://www.janusz.nowacki.strefa.pl/kurier.html Installed to proper directories. But the sample source below did not work? Couple of things? 1. Do I have to also do an updmap or enable or some such thing? 2. I note that on my office system, /usr/local/teTeX is owned by root:wheel. But done in my fonts directory, some files are owned by darnolddarn:admind and some by root:admin. Could this be a problem? This file: \definetypeface[david][rm][sans][iwona][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[david][mm][math][iwona][default] \setupbodyfont[david,ss,10pt] \starttext This should work. \stoptext Produces junk1.log: This file: \definetypeface[david][rm][sans][iwona][default][encoding=texnansi] %\definetypeface[david][mm][math][iwona][default] \setupbodyfont[david,ss,10pt] \starttext This should work. \stoptext Produces junk2.log.

ConTeXt, XML en-dash
by Johannes Graumann 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hello, I just started to experiment with typesetting XML using ConTeXt ... I ran into this problem which I'm unable to solve: 1) I added the following rule to my xml map file: \defineXMLentity [en] -- 2) yet calling &en; in my document results in the TeX equivalent of "-" rather than "--" being typeset. Any pointers? Thanks for your help, Joh -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Johannes Graumann, Dipl.

margin displacement when using backgrounds?
by Taco Hoekwater 29 Nov '05

Hi again, It seems there is a bit of margin displacement when using backgrounds. I assume there is a \setupbackground parameter I can use to fix this displacement, but I don't know which one ? TIA for any help, Taco % minimal file: \starttext A\inleft{test} b \startbackground A\inleft{test} b \stopbackground \stoptext

shading box many times
by Vit Zyka 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Dear Metafun Wizards, I have noticed some strange behaviour with box shading. It works OK until some number of shadings. Please see example: http://typokvitek.com/tmp/shade-many.pdf Any idea for solving? Next not-minimal but small and illustrative example can help.

\nomarking feature request

Hi Hans, Currently \nomarking expand into (essentially) \unknown. Is it possible to make that configurable? I now have \section{title\nomarking{\footnote{note}}} \marking[section]{title} and that is rather ugly (or is there a better way?) Taco

indentation + YandY Lucida on TeXlive2005+debian
by Renaud AUBIN 28 Nov '05

First of all, thanks for Lucida tips... It work now with my debian install of texlive 2005. I'm working now on the layout and structure of my phd thesis. Due to the fact that my thesis is in french I need to setup indentation of the first paragraph and I've got a problem with \setupindenting \indenting I have followed the structure given in cont-eni.pdf : ______________________________phd.tex_begin %% Set output to pdf \setupoutput[pdftex] %% Activate txt in METAPOST \useMPlibrary[txt] %% Activate colors \setupcolors[state=start] % fr settings \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \enableregime[il9] \useencoding[ffr] \mainlanguage[fr] % Fonts \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \loadmapfile[ec-bh-lucida.map] \usetypescript[lucida][ec] \setupbodyfont[lucida] \startproject phd \environment phdenv \product phdprod \stopproject ______________________________phd.tex_end ______________________________phdend.tex_begin \startenvironment phdenv \setupwhitespace[big] \setupindenting[first,medium] \indenting[first,always] \setupfootertexts[part][chapter] \stopenvironment ______________________________phdend.tex_end ______________________________phdprod.tex_begin \startproduct phdprod \project phd \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \component first \component second \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \completecontent \stopbackmatter \stopproduct ______________________________phdprod.tex_end ______________________________first.tex_begin \startcomponent first \part{One} \completecontent \chapter{First} \section{Section1} This is a cut-down version of the below Unicode Symbols package, designed to be simple and usable with any pdfTeX-centric \ConTeXt\ installation. Little installation, minimal usage effort, and you gain over a hundred symbols for use in ConTeXt. The PDF file documents how to use the PDF native ZapfDingbats font along with a catalogue of the available symbols, and the zip file includes all that's necessary for an installation, including a modified encoding, a tfm file, and a ConTeXt support file.

I have got my ConTeXt working with Y&Y Lucida on GNU Linux Debian + TeXlive2005, I can send my installation trace if it can help for contextgarden wiki... Best regards,

beginners manual
by Hans Hagen 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi, I 'reorganized' (split) the beginners manual and put it in svn, so anyone who is willing to translate can check out a copy. I didn't yet change anything (only the file structure etc) and the styles need a cleanup (more modern setup). Because each chapter now has its own file, we can (as suggested on this list) edit piecewise. Don't start yet. First we need to add/remove things and rewrite chapters. But you can try to compile the file. Hans
