Some examples: Hi Mikael, I had a look at your nice sudoku example mentioned in your message to the thread "Mini survey...", that is: http://hurf.mine.nu/micke/tex/sudoku.pdf (with fill-ins) http://hurf.mine.nu/micke/tex/gp28aug.pdf (with solution steps) I saw that there is a distraction contest on the PracTeX journal for creating sudokus with TeX, and thought your solution using ConTeXt would be a very nice contribution. See http://tug.org/pracjourn/2005-4/distract/ Best regards: OK

AMS-style bibliography?
by Giuseppe Bilotta 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Is there a pre-rolled bibliography style that looks follows the AMS specs? (BTW, when trying out various alternatives= I found that only aps works, all of the others bomb complaining extra # marks. I'm using a September 2005 version of t-bib ... do I need to upgrade?)

Textblock does not match the layout parameters
by Willi Egger 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi, While developping a page-layout for a book I cam across the following strange behaviour: The textblock in the attached example is larger than the paramters in the layout section would indicate. The pagenumber in the footer however respects the layout-parameters. Showframe does print the correct layout as given in de layout section. To me it looks like a calculation error. Hans could you please comment on this? Thanks Willi % Test-file % \showframe gives the correct dimensions. % The textblock however is larger than it should be. Interestingly it is at left and right margin % the same amount. % The pagenumber in the footer is placed correctly. % Context file % filename: boek-zetspiegel.tex % Willi Egger % 17-11-2005 \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupbodyfont[rm,10pt] \definepapersize[Boek][width=125mm,height=200mm] \setuppapersize[Boek][A4] \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location={footer,marginedge},alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout [topspace=16.7mm, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, margin=8mm, backspace=10.4mm, textwidth=93.8mm, margindistance=1mm, footerdistance=3\bodyfontsize, footer=1.5\bodyfontsize, location=middle] \setuptolerance[tolerant] \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \blank[0.5cm]} \stoptext

Font Introduction --- Or more of a reintroduction
by David Arnold 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

All, It's been some time since I've tried anything other than the computer modern fonts. I am aware of the manuals for font instruction in Context, but if I want to pick up the topic again, what links and/or manuals should I read, and in what order, to get up-to-date instruction on handling fonts in context?

diacritics in Utopia/Fourier
by Alan Bowen 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

I am running the latest version of ConTeXt and ran into a problem with some diacritical marks using %Fourier/Utopia Expert \usetypescript[type-syn] \usetypescript[fourier][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[fourier,10.5pt] While \={\i} and \=a, for example, work as expected when the font is “italic” or bold, I get garbage when it is just roman. Is this a problem with the font encoding or is there something / different new that I must do to put macrons and so forth over letters in the roman typeface? Best, Alan PS A sample line— `Ibn Rushd: Critique d'Ibn S\={\i}n\={a} ou le retour \`a Aristote'.

type-pre.tex
by Hans van der Meer 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Addition to my previous message re this subject: In the top of file type-pre.tex it can be read: %D This file is obsolete. We now have latin modern and proper %D typescripts. Forget about this file. However, tracing execution of \startformula[bold] shows it is still read then, whereas on \startformula (without the bold) it is not. Isn't this an anomaly? Just curious (I hope curiosity is permitted in this group). One more observation. The trace shows an underfull hbox inserted at the start of this file \readfilename ->type-pre (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/type-pre.tex Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 21--13 \hbox(0.0+0.0)x426.78743 .\glue(\rightskip) 0.0 ) disappearing when a put \endinput right at the start of the file. I hope this hbox doesn't play havoc with formatting? Hans van der Meer

missing fontsynonym?
by Hans van der Meer 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

In file type-enc.tex I came across the fontsynonym \definefontsynonym [ComputerModernSans-Italic] [LMSans- Italic] However there is no further definition for LMSans-Italic. In contrast to for example LMRoman-Italic. Could this be a typo or a missing definition? Fontdefinitions like \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [modern] [default] [ec] fail because of this.
