Font glyph replacement regression
by Christoph Reller 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Hi, In my documents I use the MyriadPro font of Adobe. Until recently, some glyphs were automatically replaced (in a correct way) for this font. In ConTeXt LMTX version 2021.09.18, the replacement stopped working: 1. En dash and em dash: "--" and "---" are not by default replaced any more. Using the font feature "trep" brings back the replacement in this case. See https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg98162.html 2. Apostrophe: "'" is not replaced by the proper apostrophe anymore. Unfortunately, I don't know any font feature to bring back this replacement. Any hints for this issue? (I can provide the MyriadPro font for debugging purposes.) Cheers, Christoph

Natural tables framecolor=white regression
by Christoph Reller 20 Jun '21

20 Jun '21

Hi, Consider the following MWE: \starttext \setupTABLE[ rulethickness=5pt, framecolor=white, %red, background=color, backgroundcolor=gray, frame=off] \setupTABLE[1][2][foregroundcolor=white, topframe=on] \setupTABLE[r][2][topframe=on] \bTABLE[setups=table:color] \bTR \bTD One \eTD \bTD A \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \rotate[rotation=90]{Two} \eTD \bTD B \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Attached is the result for ConTeXt LMTX version 2021.04.09 (and earlier) and for version 2021.06.18. In the latter case, the white frame is missing in the first column between row 1 and 2. Changing the frame color to red, makes the frame appear. Could this be a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thank you for looking into this. Cheers, Christoph

Functionnames disappearing (sometimes)
by Mikael Sundqvist 20 Jun '21

20 Jun '21

Hi, I noticed something strange today. If I use computer modern unicode (the concrete font) together with Neo Euler math then sometimes function names (like \sin, \cos, \tan) disappear. Sometimes they show (in non-displayed math and in fractions(?)). Attached is a file showing the problem, together with the output and the typescript file. I use the latest ConTeXt version and I have cleared the cache, but no change. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but what? /Mikael

Modify ToUnicode with Goodies
by Christoph Reller 19 Jun '21

19 Jun '21

Hi, On Windows, we have the consola font. Consider the MWE: \starttext \definedfont[name:consola*default at 12 pt] - \stoptext The output PDF is correctly generated with recent versions of ConTeXt LMTX. The hyphen is, however, mapped to a soft hyphen <https://unicode-table.com/en/00AD/> by means of the ToUnicode table which contains: beginbfchar <015E> <00AD> endbfchar Consequently, when copying the text from the PDF and pasting in an editor or a console, the soft hyphen is pasted. I would like to change the ToUnicode information to an ordinary hyphen-minus <https://unicode-table.com/en/002D/>: beginbfchar <015E> <002D> endbfchar I have tried with a goodies file, and an updated MWE: --- 8< ------------------------------------------ return { name = "consola", version = "1.00", comment = "", author = "", copyright = "", remapping = { tounicode = true, unicodes = { hyphen = 0x002D, }, }, } --- 8< ------------------------------------------ \definefontfeature[consola][mode=base, goodies=consola, unicoding=yes] \starttypescript[mono][consolas] \definefontsynonym[ConsolasRegular][file:consola][features=consola] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[mono][consolas] \definefontsynonym[Mono][ConsolasRegular] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[Body][tt][mono][consolas][default] \setupbodyfont[Body, ss, 10pt] \starttext \tt - \stoptext --- 8< ------------------------------------------ Unfortunately, this has no effect. Please tell me how to correctly update ToUnicode information with a goodies file. Cheers, Christoph

Straight Quotes / Curly Quotes
by Thangalin 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

I've written a Java-based lexer/parser that can convert straight quotes to curly quotes for English prose. It's a one-pass algorithm (O(n)) that uses neither look-behind nor regex. Here's a list of test cases it handles: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DaveJarvis/keenquotes/main/lib/src/test/r… A test harness converted several Project Gutenberg texts quite well. The folks at PG may be interested in using it themselves to help convert quotes in older texts en masse. The source code is MIT-licensed: https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenquotes/ The code should port to Lua fairly easily, should anyone be interested in adding a straight/curly quotation mark conversion module to ConTeXt. (Similar to the LaTeX package, but without using regex.) Cheers everyone!

Fatal error: return code: 256 with documents in ConTeXt's distribution
by Nicola 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

I am trying to typeset some documents under tex/texmf-context/doc/context/sources with mixed results. I am using ConTeXt from TeX Live 2021, and the latest LMTX (just rsync'ed). Results vary: 1. Successful in both cases: $ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-0000-mkiv.tex [...] system | total runtime: 5.074 seconds $ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-0000-mkiv.tex [... $ system | total runtime: 3.323 seconds of 3.389 seconds 2. Fatal error with TeX Live vs apparently stuck with beta: $ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-1104-mkiv.tex [...] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 $ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-1104-mkiv.tex [...] pages > flushing realpage 7, userpage 6, subpage 7 pages > flushing realpage 8, userpage 7, subpage 8 pages > flushing realpage 9, userpage 8, subpage 9 [Gets stuck at this point, with luametatex using 100% CPU] 3. Fatal error in both cases: $ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-1102-mkiv.tex [...] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 $ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-1102-mkiv.tex [...] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 4. Fatal error in TeX Live, successful with beta: $ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate metafun.tex [...] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 $ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate metafun.tex [...] system | total runtime: 10.509 seconds of 10.569 seconds And so on. The above tests were done in two different terminal windows, with $PATH set accordingly. I have reported the full path to the executable for clarity. This is with Intel macOS. Is anyone able to reproduce these results? Or should I search for something wrong with my setup? Nicola

[#1] CJK regression? | lmtx-20210613 &c.

I'm wondering if there has been a regression in the rendering of CJK recently?

xtable as list item (again)
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

Dear list, I already posted a similar question some time ago (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/101021.html) but I got no reply. I have the following sample: \showframe\showstruts \starttext \startitemize[n][margin=yes] \item a \item \startembeddedxtable[option={stretch, width}] \dorecurse{25}{\startxrow \startxcell \Characters{\recurselevel}\stopxcell \startxcell \characters{\recurselevel}\stopxcell \stopxrow} \stopembeddedxtable \item b \stopitemize \stoptext And I get two issues: 1. Item number in 2 is placed on the bottom of the xtable. I need it on the top of the xtable. 2. There is an extra horizontal space before the xtable. How can I get rid of it? (In my real-world document, the space before is huge. In any case, it misplaces the xtable.) Maybe my approach is wrong, but I need the xtable as part of a list (and I need it to strecht it horizontally). Does anyone know how to achieve this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Natural tables | 2 tables in a page seem to interfere with each other?
by Ramkumar KB 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

Hi, I have 2 "natural tables" in one page and it appears that I have to (manually) reset the columns in the second table, for those columns that I had set specific width. See the example below - Maybe I am missing a trick or two - or this indeed is the desired behavior? Thank you very much. \setupTABLE[r][each][height=0.5cm,frame=on] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=0.6cm] \setupTABLE[r][1][height=0cm,topframe=off] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=5cm] \setupTABLE[c][4,7][width=3cm] \bTABLE ... \eTABLE \setupTABLE[r][each][height=1.3cm,topframe=on] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=1.7cm] \setupTABLE[c][1,4,7][width=1.7cm] %This is to reset from the previous Table \setupTABLE[r][1][height=0cm,topframe=off] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=0.3cm,frame=off] \bTABLE ... \eTABLE - Ramkumar
