unicode fontdefinition
by sjoerd siebinga 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

Hi all, I am currently typesetting a collection of articles that use a great number of unicodeglyphs from 19 vectors. All the regular glyphs turn up fine, but I am unable to get the bold and italic versions of the glyphs. I have made encoding files for all the vectors using the xsl- scripts from Adam Lindsay and installed them via texfont. The sourcefile is an xml-file with decimal-unicode-entities that are mapped to the \uchar command by the \defineXMLentity command. I have defined the unicode fontsynonyms as follows: <code> \loadmapfile[palatinolinostar_01xx-starling-linostar] \definefontsynonym [UnicodeRegular01] [palatinolinostar_01xx- PalatinoLinoStar] [encoding=palatinolinostar_01xx] \definefontsynonym [UnicodeBold01] [palatinolinostar_01xx- PalatinoLinoStarBold] [encoding=palatinolinostar_01xx] \definefontsynonym [UnicodeItalic01] [palatinolinostar_01xx- PalatinoLinoStarItalic] [encoding=palatinolinostar_01xx] </code> My bodyfontdefinition is as follows: <code> \starttypescript [map] [linostar] [texnansi,palatinolinostar_01xx] \loadmapfile [\typescripttwo-starling-linostar.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [linostar] [texnansi,palatinolinostar_01xx] \definefontsynonym [linostar] [\typescriptthree- PalatinoLinoStar] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [linostar-Italic] [\typescriptthree- PalatinoLinoStarItalic] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [linostar-Bold] [\typescriptthree- PalatinoLinoStarBold] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [linostar] [name] \setups [font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [linostar] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [linostar-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [linostar-Bold] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [my] [starling-linostar] [texnansi,palatinolinostar_01xx] \definetypeface [starling-linostar] [rm] [serif] [linostar] [default] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript \usetypescript [my] [starling-linostar] \setupbodyfont[starling-linostar,rm,10pt] </code> Could somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? Kind regards, Sjoerd

How is it possible to include DraTex code in Context ?
by Fabrice Larribe 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

Hi, I'm presently doing my first steps with Context, which seems absolutly wonderfull... so thanks to the developper(s). In the past, I was using plain tex with a macro package called DraTex to draw all sorts of things; so I have a "library" of figures which I would like to resuse in Context. I have seen no specific reference in the Context manual(s) about the compatibility of Context with others plain tex packages. When I do: "\input DraTex.sty \input AlDraTex.sty" I have the message "No room for a new \dimen"... If I load only the first package (DraTex), this works, but for advances things, I need AlDraTex. So the question: how is it possible to include DraTex code in Context ? Thanks for any help. Fabrice L. Ps: I know metafun exists !

bibmodule question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

I'm trying to have the edition of a book typeset as a superscript, small number. In my setuppublicationlayout[book], I tried this: \insertedition{ \high\bgroup\tfxx}{\egroup}{ }% which seemed like a good idea when I wrote it, but it isn't working; I get the number in tiny font size, but it isn't raised. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thomas

Halfway between itemizations and descriptions
by Giuseppe Bilotta 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

Hello, does ConTeXt have something which is halfway between itemizations and descriptions? I have a small set of properties that should be enumerated together. Right now I'm doing it by defining a \description and then doing \desc{something} stuff \par \desc{something else} other stuff \par etc However, this is an overall cumbersome syntax, especially for the result I would like to obtain. using \startitemize ...\stopitemize with \sym{something} \sym{something else} comes *very* close to what I would like but I can't seem to find a way to prevent the \sym text to wade into the actualt text of the description. Suggestions? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

marking in columnset
by Vit Zyka 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

Dear ConTeXters, several kind of marking variants (first, last, both, ...) works perfectly in standard one-column layout: ---------------------------------------------------- \definemarking[M] \startsetups S default=(\getmarking[M])~ first=(\getmarking[M][first])~ last=(\getmarking[M][last])~ previous=(\getmarking[M][previous])~ both=(\getmarking[M][both])~ all=(\getmarking[M][all])~ current=(\getmarking[M][current]) \stopsetups \setupheadertexts[text] [\setups{S}][] [\setups{S}][] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \starttext \startbuffer \section{Knuth} \marking[M]{k1}\marking[M]{k2} \input knuth \section{Zapf} \marking[M]{z} \input zapf \stopbuffer \dorecurse{10}{\getbuffer} \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------- If I try the same example in columnset layout, only last variant works as expected: ------------------------------------------------------- \definemarking[M] \startsetups S default=(\getmarking[M])~ first=(\getmarking[M][first])~ last=(\getmarking[M][last])~ previous=(\getmarking[M][previous])~ both=(\getmarking[M][both])~ all=(\getmarking[M][all])~ current=(\getmarking[M][current]) \stopsetups \setupheadertexts[text] [\setups{S}][] [\setups{S}][] \setuppagenumbering[location=none] \definecolumnset[C][n=3] \starttext \startbuffer \section{Knuth} \marking[M]{k1}\marking[M]{k2} \input knuth \section{Zapf} \marking[M]{z} \input zapf \stopbuffer \startcolumnset[C] \dorecurse{10}{\getbuffer} \stopcolumnset \stoptext --------------------------------------------------------------- (Focus on page 1 and 4) Is there any idea how to fix this?

Re: Getting texfont to do batch installs on gwTeX (was Re: [NTG-context] Palatino)
by Adam Lindsay 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

Hans Hagen said this at Wed, 23 Nov 2005 22:39:55 +0100: >> batch line : --en=texnansi --ve=public --co=antp -- >> so=auto --ro=TEXMFMAIN > >are you sure that you replaced it? It's weird. Looking through the rest of David's log, it replaced some of them, but not all. I never claimed to be a sed wizard. To David, I'd say open in a text editor and do a global find/replace. Anyway, back to an earlier suggestion by Hans, --ro=TEXMFMAIN,TEXMFTE seems to work for me, except in the case of Adobe Utopia. In that case, --ro=TEXMFMAIN,TEXMFGW should work. Actually, I see the Utopia lines replicated for tl2003+. Should it not be: --ro=TEXMFMAIN,TEXMFGW,TEXMFEXTRA ? [That said, I'm getting perplexing results on a texfont --en=ec type- tmf.dat install: there's an insistence on creating bitmaps for these fonts!] -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Moving close to Lucida but still not there
by David Arnold 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hans, Taco, Adam et al, I dropped all of my lucida pfb and afm fonts into a temporary directory, ~/tmp/lucida. Change to that directory and entered: texfont --ve=yandy --co=lucida --ma --in Log file is attached. I was able to compile the resulting texnansi- yandy-lucida.tex. Progress. However, when you look at the log file you will see some "skipping" of the math fonts, certainly not what I want, being a mathematics teacher. For example, font identifier : LucidaNewMath-Arrows -> math -> skipping use supplied tfm : lbma font identifier : LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi -> math -> skipping use supplied tfm : lbmad I looked in type-buy.dat and found: # bh lucida --en=? --ve=bh --co=lucida --re --en=? --ve=bh --co=lucida --so=bh/lucida --ma --in --expert Is the fact that I didn't use that --expert switch my problem? How can I get texfont to not "skip" the math fonts? David
