by Taco Hoekwater 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip If you have not updated your Latin Modern fonts in the past month, then you will need to fetch the latest redistribution of the LM fonts as well: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-lmt.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-lmt.zip The current release has version 2005.11.24. As usual, there is a page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.24 New features compared to the 2005.11.16 version: * As of this version, ConTeXt has a new zip archive: cont-fnt.zip. This zip will contain font support files. Currently included are texfont-generated metric and map files for these font families (with their typescript names in braces): - Adobe Utopia (utopia) - Bitstream Charter (charter) - Antykwa Poltawskiego (antykwa-poltawskiego) - URW Bookman (bookman) - URW Nimbus Mono (courier) - URW Nimbus Sans (helvetica) - URW Century Schoolbook (schoolbook) - URW Palladio (palatino) - URW Nimbus Roman No9 (times) - URW Chancery (chancery) * \txt is a new command to be used like \item, \head and \sym inside itemgroups (e.g. '\startitemize ... \stopitemize') * texmfstart can be used to generate the stub commands like 'texfont' now Bugs fixed compared to the 2005.11.16 version: * the new texexec (in ruby) has gained some backward compatibility switches, like pdfarrange. * The incorrect LMSans-Italic font mapping has been fixed * The command \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] works properly now Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

Can texexec enable write18 at runtime
by David Arnold 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

All, In GWTeX, I could turn on write18 here: % Enable \write18 (run shell processes from within TeX job) % Set to t if needed % (I think this might have security implications, especially if you % run tex jobs as administrator, so I keep it turned off by default shell_escape = f But, because of security, I am wondering if I can leave this as is and use texexec to enable write18 at runtime. Is there a switch for this? I know you can do it with pdflatex with: pdflatex --shell-escape David

No page number in appendix
by Giuseppe Bilotta 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hello, I just noticed that the appendix number suppresses page numbering. Is there a reason for that? Shouldn't this be configurable? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

utf8 editor problems
by Wolfgang Zillig 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

hello, I have a problem which is not directly related to context. When I create document in utf-8 I sometimes get "ïz£" (I hope this is displayed correctly in the mail clients, (a screen snapshot is attached also)) printed on a single page (in the pdf). These letters are not displayed in my standard text editors (scite and notepad++). Only when I open the file in amaya (a xhtml editor) I see these the following letters "ï»¿" and I can delete them. Does anybody know something about this? Thanks Wolfgang

Bug / feature request tracking
by Taco Hoekwater 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hi all, Some of you may be aware of the fact that there is a bug / feature request tracker for ConTeXt. The URL is: http://context.literatesolutions.com/collector I have to do a call-to-arms for the people that have made feature requests and / or found bugs in the past few months, especially if the extension /solution has not been included in the latest distribution (2005.10.27). Will you all please have a look at the current list, and see if I have added your item(s) already? I have a rather large archive of context-related email (because I let it slip for a while), and I fear that may have missed some extant bugs. This is quite important, because if it is not in the list, it is much less likely to get fixed. Greetings, Taco

kpathsea355.dll missing from 2005-11-16 mswintex.zip and mswincontext.zip
by Adrian Drury 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

The mswintex.zip and mswincontext.zip files on www.pragma-ade.com, dated 2005-11-16, are missing the kpathsea355.dll file from <root>/tex/texmf-mswin/bin. I discovered this while trying the URW Garamond installation instructions in the wiki, and the texfont command failed running vptovf. The kpathsea355.dll file was in mswincontext.zip that I downloaded at the beginning of September, so I copied it from there to my minimal (re)installation (and successfully completed the URW Garamond installation instructions). For future reference, is this type of issue better tracked in the collector? Regards, Adrian Drury

Lucida Fonts
by David Arnold 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

All, Now that YandY is defunct, where would one now purchase the Lucida font. We used to be able to get the entire set from YandY, math included. Does that set still exist and where can it be purchased? David
