'empty string' test in MP
by Peter Rolf 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi all, I pass a string to a MP graphic using \setMPtext{LABEL}{TEXT}. The string can also be empty, and then no action (for the text) is taken. How can I test in MP, if the given \MPstring{LABEL} is empty? I have tried everything I can imagine in the last one hour, but no success. Not my day... This is the old, not working version if not(\MPstring{LABEL}="") : % is always true. Peter

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)?

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

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?

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.

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

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.
