fleurons - reprise
by Keith McKay 14 Jul '05

Thanks to Hans and Adam for the helpful advice. The code from Adam looked a bit daunting to me as a learner at first but when I changed [pzdr] to [uzdr] it worked fine. I attach the output from Adam's code which also includes his query about symb-run in a previous message. Hope this is of use. From the further discussion between them I hope I didn't open a can of worms. One last question. I did a search on the web for fleuron fonts and came up with a few interesting hits. To use these in Context is it a case of following the 'Texfont explained' and 'Fonts in Context' manuals? I think I have seen some 'My Way' (or is it 'This way'... well, 'Whatever way' ;>) ) on the Wiki about this as well. I realize this is not a trivial pursuit for a beginner but I would like to give it a try. Are there any pitfalls to look out for or should I just dive in?

Setting up chapter.
by John R. Culleton 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

I am trying to set up chapter heads a certain way and my code keeps getting uglier. Here are the specs: 1. Chapter number centered, with decorations on either side. 2. Chapter title centered below chapter number. 3. Additional decoration centered below chapter title. 4. Both number and text show up in TOC in normal Context manner. Can this be done easily using the normal chapter macro or should I do it all from scratch? (If I roll my own I worry about getting info to the TOC.) -- John Culleton

aligning of tables and tabulate
by Radhelorn 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Hello! Maybe this is a stupid question, but according to manual this should align tables right: \starttext \setuptabulate[align=right] some text before \starttabulate[|l|l|] \HL \NC test \NC test \NR \NC test \NC test \NR \HL \stoptabulate in the middle \setuptables[align=right] \starttable[|l|l|] \HL \NC test \NC test \NC\AR \NC test \NC test \NC\AR \HL \stoptable after after \stoptext I've tried left, right, middle, center... to no effect. Both tables remain left aligned. Thanks for your patience. -- Radhelorn <radhelorn(a)mail.ru>

Re: [NTG-context] Re: re-using ConTeXt typescripts ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 12 Jul '05

Hi Adam, sure, you've mentioned AGaramondPro. But I have the AGaramond+Expert fonts (Type1) installed in my texmf tree with Walther Schmidts TFM and VF files (see the padxxxx-files in the typescript I've sent). http://www.dante.de/CTAN/fonts/metrics/w-a-schmidt/pad.zip (or in general but German http://home.vr-web.de/was/fonts.html) And this is the crucial point: for theses files provide e.g. optimized (German) kerning information (and more) I really don't want to miss them! And I have absolutely no idea how to access theses files. Isn't is possible when processing with XeTeX to continue using those precious hand-made virtual fonts?
