\openlineheight not set
by Giuseppe Bilotta 07 Jul '05

It seems that \setupbodyfont does not set \openlineheight, I have to call \switchtobodyfont to call it. Is this as intended? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

mptopdf problem
by Wolfgang Zillig 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Hello, I have a miktex installed on xp. Not too long ago I made a update. Yesterday I noticed that mptopdf won't do its job anymore. As I made a copy before upgrading so I could check the behaviour with the old version. The "old" version (which runs) is mptopdf 1.21 The "new" version is 1.3 The errormessage is: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.4) (preloaded format=mptopdf 2005.7.5) 6 JUL 2005 08:53 entering extended mode **fuenf.mp (fuenf.mp [MP to PDF] ! I can't find file `beginfig(1).tex'. <to be read again> When I replace the new file by the old one everything works again. Any suggestions? Wolfgang

Have a look at the (yet >unfinished page) > >http://contextgarden.net/Psnfss > >Patrick >-- Hi Patrick, David and Adam, It is right that handling fonts is extremely disappointing and instable... For instance, what used to work does not work anymore properly with the new version of ConTeXt I installed two weeks ago... For instance: \usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[postscript] \usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding] %or helvetica, or palatino \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] used to work fine, but now it results in ConTeXt creating, the first time, a whole bunch of things regarding fonts, and then the resulting PDF contains some ugly jagging bitmap-looking characters (interestingly this happens only to the text characters, not to the math characters...). Adding \usetypescript[postscript] does not help neither. I wanted to answer David's question on Saturday but when I tried my examples, I was dispappointed and did not answer. Best regards: OK PS: When I added two samples of the PDF files to my previous post, it was blocked due to the fact that the message was over 40 Kb. So I am posting again without the attachments.

International characters in math
by Radhelorn 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

Hello All! I've returned to my experiments with fonts and have a question: is there a way to use international characters in math like with LaTeX mathtext package? Or even as \text{} in AMS LaTeX? Is there some documentation on math in ConTeXt except sources? -- Radhelorn <radhelorn(a)mail.ru>
