Re: [NTG-context] Debian Install
by Jessica Holle 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hi, in the evening I want to install ConTeXt on my home system. It's Debian testing. It,s easy to install in debian I see. With apt-get it works. But now my question. In you documentation in the wiki is written that ConTeXt should be installed in ~/texmf But the structure is another as when I do it to /usr/local/teTeX . Must I do softlinks to this path to get context to work? Or do I only install teTeX like in the documentation and then install ConTeXt to /home/$USER/texmf and it works? Greetings Jessica

Dear syndicate, This is a good standard color to add to the distribution: I got the following experimental cmyk values from a google search http://www.google.com/search?hs=gp9&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&… There is apparently no standard in this regard, and I would like to get suggestions for a better turquoise.

Does MetaFun provide some macro to draw oriented paths? I would like it to basically add a small arrow *in the middle* of the path? Such a macro draworiented somepath somespecs ; would have to act like drawarrow firsthalf(somepath) somespecs ; draw secondhalf(somepath) somespecs ; Is it available already, or should I roll my own? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Color Separation with external figures and spot colors
by Pearson, Mark (Capita Symonds) 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Hi All, Does anyone know if/how I can take a grayscale JPG external figure and assign it to a spot colour channel. The Color Separation manual gives the following example: \externalfigure[graphic][split=c] for assigning such an image to the Cyan channel but I want to say something like: \definecolor [Spot1] [c=1,m=.05,y=0,k=.47,e=PANTONE 308 CV] \definecolor [Spot2] [c=.69,m=.07,y=0,k=0,e=PANTONE 298 CV] . . \externalfigure[graphic][split=Spot1] Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer :) Mark Pearson. ********************************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may be subject to legal privilege, and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: bold math not mathitalic
by Hans van der Meer 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

I am trying to define bold math myself, but encounter a problem with the typescripts. Further probing into this matter (previous mail, see below) shows that the typescript delineated by ****'s is NOT USED AT ALL! (Calling \setupformulas[method=bold] makes no difference). It therefore does not seem a problem in the math family assignments in font-bfm.tex, as I first suspected. Is there some special invocation needed for hooking up a user defined font set into $\bfmath ...$? If have looked into font-bfm.tex and font-ini.tex but could not figure it out. Clearly I am misunderstanding the inner workings here, but I have no clue in which direction to look. > I am using the follwing (extracted) typescript lines for math in > the lucida fonts: > > \starttypescript [luc] > \definetypeface [luc][mm][math][lucidayy][default] > [encoding=texnansi] > \definetypeface [luc][mm][bfmath][lucidayy][default] > [encoding=texnansi] > \stoptypescript > > \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [default] > \definebodyfont [default] [mm] > [mr=MathRoman mo 1, mi=MathItalic mo 1, ....] > \stoptypescript > ************************************************************************ ****** > \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [default] > \definebodyfont [default] [mm] > [mrbf=MathRomanBold mo 1, mibf=MathItalicBold mo 1, ....] > \stoptypescript ************************************************************************ ****** > \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [name] > \definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [LucidaBright] > \definefontsynonym [MathItalic] [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic] > \stoptypescript > > \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] > \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [hlhr8y] > [encoding=texnansi] > \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic] [hlcrima] > \stoptypescript > > \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [name] > \definefontsynonym [MathRomanBold] [LucidaBright-Demi] > \definefontsynonym [MathItalicBold] [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic] > \stoptypescript > > \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] > \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright-Demi] [hlhb8y] > [encoding=texnansi] > \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic] [hlcdima] > \stoptypescript > > Typesetting: > \starttext > \usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue > {$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf > \stoptext > Gives me for the variables neatly LucidaNewMath-AltItalic. *** Changing the fonts in the above typescript does work *** > > But typesetting > \starttext > \usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue > {$\bfmath\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf > \stoptext > Gives me LucidaBright-Demi instead of LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic. > Everything else however (even the blackletters from ma) are in the > correct bold math font. > The font must be present, because substituting MathItalicBold for > MathItalic in the [math] script proves that. *** But not coming from my typescript I conclude from several experiments *** Hans van der Meer

updates
by Hans Hagen 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Hi, The next couple of weeks there will probably more 'updates' than normal; this is due to the fact that i'm adding long due features and such. I also want to move on to the ruby variants of texexec and texutil, so i want the latest versions to be available (for testers). Currently I'm uploading a version that - fixes a problem introduced when implementing the \currentvalue hack (side effect was that the non english interfaces behaved weird) - a long standing wish of g.b. dealing with indentation (i tried to provide a more or less robust solution); the following works ok here (gb/taco: \noindent does not work in such cases, one really needs to make a handler the last action taken after a stop...; btw, suppressing a next indendation is best done with \noindentation which is what the auto thing used deep down) \setupindenting[small,yes] \setupitemize [indentnext=auto] \setuptyping [indentnext=auto] \setupformulas[indentnext=auto] \starttext \input tufte \startitemize \item ccc \stopitemize \input tufte \startitemize \item ccc \stopitemize \input tufte \startitemize \item ccc \stopitemize \page \input tufte \starttyping ccc \stoptyping \input tufte \starttyping ccc \stoptyping \input tufte \starttyping ccc \stoptyping \page \input tufte \startformula a = b \stopformula \input tufte \startformula a = b \stopformula \input tufte \startformula a = b \stopformula \stoptext Hans

font problems again
by Hans van der Meer 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

With the last release of context the problem of not getting cm fonts is over. These are now found. However, other font selections bring new difficulties. I tried various combinations but did not succeed. The simple program (using TeXShop): \starttext \setupbodyfont[tim,12pt] hello world \stoptext Fails and aborts with: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) ConTeXt ver: 2005.11.11 fmt: 2005.11.13 int: english mes: english .... ! Font \*times12ptrmtf*:=utmr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. Changing into \usetypescript[phv]\setupbodyfont[phv,12pt] ! Font \*postscript12ptrmtf*:=utmr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. No help from enabling in cont-sys.tex of: \usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding] (updmap.cfg contains URWkb for the LW35 fonts) then it starts asking for (non-existing) maps like: Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map file If I use \setupbodyfont[lbr,12pt] then I get just lm-roman, although I have the YandY lucida fonts installed with their original YandY names (lb--.pfb) Here no help from changing between texnansi and ec default encoding. Any idea whats amiss? I ran this on a teTeX3 install with the context files unzipped into texmf-local. (I must confess I am tempted to give up on ConTeXt altogether, because of these many font troubles.) Hans van der Meer

As usual, there is a page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.15 New features compared to the 2005.11.14 version: * A new key in \setupregister: prefix= This controls page prefixes in index ranges * New functionality: indentnext=auto Blank lines in the source are taken into account when indextnext=auto is in effect. A really short example of usage would be: \setupindenting[small,yes] \setupformulas[indentnext=auto] \starttext \startformula a = b\stopformula \input tufte % blank line => with indentation \startformula a = b\stopformula \input tufte % no blank line => no indentation \stoptext Bugs fixed since the 2005.11.14 version: * A bug in the new "extension of definitions inside assignments" feature in 2005.11.11 accidentally broke the non-english interfaces.
