Thanks Taco for the suggestions, I was exploring both of those in parallel to hoping that someone had kept a copy of the old ones.. Thanks both. Duncan

Choosing a font for our Math Book
by David Arnold 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Adam, Taco, Hans, et al, This file: %output=pdf \startcomponent section1 \project book \product chapter1 \section{Trinomials} \input knuth \placeformula[eq:1] \startformula f(x)=x^2+2x-3 \stopformula We, see in \in{Equation}[eq:1], the historical use of function notation. \stopcomponent %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: conTeXt-en %%% End: I have no font instructions in my environment file bookenv.tex. This component section1 compiles fine and gives me (checking in Acrobat Professional) a combination of latin modern and computer modern fonts. However, they hardly match in size. The computer modern font is much larger than the text in latin modern font. So, a couple of things. 1. If I wanted to try and see if this would compile with my Lucida fonts, what should I try. 2. Do you have a couple of suggestions for body font and math font that would look good together and can you provide me with the font instructions to include them in my document? I would be grateful.

TEXMFMAIN,TEXMFTE,TEXMFGW
by David Arnold 27 Nov '05

Hans, Taco, Gerben, et al, With the new release of Context, it looks like you have the same: --ro=TEXMFMAIN I've attached my type-tmf-gw.dat and the type-tmf-gw.log that resulted from a run with: sudo texfont --encoding=ec type-tmf-gw.dat I did this by dropping type-tmf-gw.dat in ~/tmp/. The first time I ran it with: sudo texfont --ma --in type-tmf-gw.dat That got the texnansi encoding. I sent that file previously. David

New tmf files?
by David Arnold 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

Taco et al, There was some discussion before this current release about including more tmf files. I downloaded the latest cont-tfm.zip, but see no evidence of more tmf files. Is that still a future project? I updated Context via Gerben's updater and I just installed the Latin modern fonts from Gerben's site about a week and a half ago. Should I be good to go for a while?

Iwona font
by David Arnold 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

All, Found this link. Helpful reading. http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~hartke/latex/survey/survey.html I downloaded: ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/fonts/iwona.zip Unzipped and put only the afm's and the pfb's in ~/tmp/iwona. Ran: iwona $ sudo texfont --ve=public --co=iwona --ma --in That seemed to go well and I compiled: iwona $ texexec --pdf texnansi-public-iwona.tex That went well. Got a nice pdf. Acrobat Professional reports that I have a slew of Iwona fonts in the document. Now, this little test file: iwona $ cat junk.tex %output=pdf \definetypeface[iwona][ss][sans][iwona][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[iwona][mm][math][iwona][default][encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[iwona][texnansi] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Stops with: (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex) kpathsea: Running mktextfm rm-iwonar /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map typeface abbreviation -i for rm-iwonar. /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update /usr/ local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/map/fontname/special.map? mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input rm-iwonar This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.5) kpathsea: Running mktexmf rm-iwonar !

I wish I could get a better handle on what is going on. I feel like I am spinning my wheels. There's gotta be a typescript file for this iwona somewhere in the distribution. Can someone tell me where it is? David

svn manuals
by David Arnold 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

Hans, Taco, et al, I think it would be a good idea (possibly saving you a lot of list answering time) if you put a README file in each manual directory. This could contain instructions such as: 1. Which is the main file to compile. 2. Some font handling instructions. Maybe a reminder of what to do with texfont and type-tfm.dat on different systems. User would be handy in getting this right. 3. Or, as font setups head to an environment file, maybe alternate environment files could be provided to get a plain vanilla no other fonts other than what is supplied with cont-fnt.zip. Hopefully, other on this list can come up with other suggestions for the README. I've just named a few that I know will help me. David

Disappearing characters in \typefile
by John R. Culleton 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

For my current e-book project I use \typefile to import some TeX files as examples. The syntax is color coded which is very useful. Unfortunately on my screen at least the % character is in yellow so faint as to be unreadable. So I dug into the source code and discovered that the name for this color is colorprettyfour. I changed it thus: \definecolor [colorprettyfour][r=..8, g=.4,b=.2] This gives a light brown which is not pretty but at least is readable on my monitor and hopefully on others. John Culleton

Referencing in Project Structure
by David Arnold 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

All, I have: project book in book.tex environment bookenv book.env.tex product chapter1 in chapter1.tex component section1 in section1.tex component section1 in section2.tex component section1 in section3.tex In each section, I would like numbering of theorems, definitions, examples, equations, etc, to be consecutive and include the section number as a prefix. For example, if a theorem happens to appear first, then number it 1.1, the next three equations (1.2), (1.3), and (1.4), the next two examples 1.5 and 1.6, the next two equations (1.7) and (1.8), the next definition 1.9, the next theorem 1.10, the next three equations (1.11), (1.12), and (1.13), the next example 1.14, etc. Then this numbering scheme is reset in the next section. So, if the first thing to appear is a theorem, then it is numbered 2.1, the next definition 2.2, the next three equations (2.3), (2.4), and (2.5), and so on. How do I set this up in bookenv? David
