Hi, I have noticed good news that there exist real small caps in the latin modern font set. That is why there is a typo in type-enc.tex: \starttypescript [all] [latin-modern,computer-modern] [texnansi,ec,qx,pl0,il2,t5] ... % Mono ... instead of \definefontsynonym [cmcsc10] [\typescriptthree-lmcsc10] [encoding=\typescriptthree] should be \definefontsynonym [cmtcsc10] [\typescriptthree-lmtcsc10] [encoding=\typescriptthree] (see two times 't' ^ ^) If this font exist I suggest to extend type-siz.tex: (see lines with 'sc=') ------------------------------------------------ \starttypescript [mono] [computer-modern] [size] \definebodyfont [12pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt12, sl=cmsltt10 at 12pt, it=cmitt10 at 12pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 12pt] \definebodyfont [11pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 11pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 11pt, it=cmitt10 at 11pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 11pt] \definebodyfont [10pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10, sl=cmsltt10, it=cmitt10, sc=cmtcsc10] \definebodyfont [9pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt9, sl=cmsltt10 at 9pt, it=cmitt10 at 9pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 9pt] \definebodyfont [8pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt8, sl=cmsltt10 at 8pt, it=cmitt10 at 8pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 8pt] \definebodyfont [7pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 7pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 7pt, it=cmitt10 at 7pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 7pt] \definebodyfont [6pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 6pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 6pt, it=cmitt10 at 6pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 6pt] \definebodyfont [5pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 5pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 5pt, it=cmitt10 at 5pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 5pt] \definebodyfont [4pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 4pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 4pt, it=cmitt10 at 4pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 4pt] \definebodyfont [14.4pt,17.3pt,20.7pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt12 sa 1, sl=cmsltt10 sa 1, it=cmitt10 sa 1, sc=cmtcsc10 sa 1] \stoptypescript --------------------------------------------------- Cheers, vit -- ======================================================= Ing.

I wish to display certain pages as pdf instead of html, like the pragma-ade.nl "Showcaase" series. The question of efficiency (i.e. fast load times) arises.

cross-ref problem (again)
by Alan Bowen 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Sorry to plague you with this, but it has brought me to a standstill. On page 84 of the ConTeXt Manual at the bottom of the page, you see the footnote: ** Why? See note *. This is perfectly fine when the footnote marker is a symbol. But when it is number, say 13, one prefers: .... See note 13. where the footnote marker (a number now) is in line. The problem I am having concerns the command for cross-referencing footnotes by their numbers,\note, since this command inserts the number as a superscript. Although this is useful, by the way, for repeating a call to an earlier note at a different location, as on page 83 of the Manual, it is not the only way in which footnotes are typically referenced in printed works. The question, then, is how to adapt \note so that it inserts the footnote number inline at at current bodyfont size. I have checked the source file core-not.tex re \note, but I have not been able to make much headway. Any tips or pointers will be gratefully received. Alan

tables, etc.
by Jörg Hagmann 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Dear list members, I have the following questions: 1) I want a table at textwidth. The contents of the boxes don't fit on one line. When I use "|lp|lp|" etc., the width of the table is a fraction of textwidth, and the contents of the columns overlay each other (with long, unhyphenated words). I found "\SetTableToWidth{}" in the beginner's manual (Table 11.3), but no matter where I placed that, it didn't do anything, nor did all my other attempts. I finally adjusted the table by hand (|lp(4cm)| etc). Is there a way of setting the width of the table and let ConTEXt do the rest? 2) The horizontal rules (\HL) are a bit longer than the the text in the table. How does one adjust them such that they are flush on both sides? I tried with \DL, but didn't get what I hoped for. 3) I am using uncaptioned figures in the margin. When they are too close, they overlap. Is there a way of making them know of each other's existence (I sometimes want them as close as possible), or do I have to place the code at an appropriate position myself? Thank you for your patience, Jörg

unicode / utf
by Hans Hagen 23 Jun '05

Hi, I uploaded a new beta archive with under context/extras a file showunic.tex. The resulting pdf can be fetched from the website (manuals -> fonts -> ...) When playing with this i could not get the hebrew vector working. I think that we need (a volunteer) to make (us) some kind of hebrew/arab encoding and fall back font (probably virtual) with all glyphs (no ligs needed for arab, just individual shapes).
