Left + right justification at once.
by Dirar BOUGATEF 08 Apr '05

Hi all, Am using \vbox{\hsize8cm text} to typeset my document with blocks of text. This makes a left and right justification of the text, but most of the time it does work alright and i get a ragged right text. What do i have to do in order to avoid this and get my text justified at both sides ? Thanks for any help. Dirar

Dear Everyone, I am a really disenchanted user of MS Word and absolutely new to the world of Tex. Will someone virtually hold my hand and recommend a version of Tex and some tutorial that tells me how to install the program, compile a .tex file, execute, etc.? I hope I can learn enough in three months and ask better questions then! Thank you all. Idris Samawi Hamid <ishamid(a)lamar.colostate.edu> wrote: Dear knights, How do I get url hyperlinks?

Thank you Robert, it works now. I was missing the \from[], and \url[] only prints the url, it does not link to it. So the following works: ================================================= \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=darkgreen] \setupurl [color=darkgreen] \useURL [Adobe] [http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5091.Design_MM_Fonts.pdf] [] [{\tt http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5091.Design\_MM\_Fonts.p…] \starttext \from[Adobe]. \stoptext ================================================= Thank you very much Robert (Nikolai too)!

>===== Original Message From mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> ===== >How are you viewing this?

That is, Acrobat does not point out the link or allow me to click on it. Any idea what's missing? Is it a bug? I'm running the 3-16 mswincontext version.

controlling space between paragraphs in list
by Paul Tremblay 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

According to the big ConTeXt manual, one should use \head for an item in a list with more than one paragraph: \startitemize \head first paragarph...\par second paragraph... \stopitemize Is there a way to control the amount of space *between* head paragraph that are part of the head? I know how to control the space between items, but what if you want a different space between the paragraphs in an item. (This is not so unusual a desire; you might want to less space to make things tighter.) Right now, I can do this: \setupwhitespace[8pt] \startitemize \item first paragarph...\par second paragraph... \stopitemize But then ConTeXt might not take care of the paragraphs nicely when breaking between pages. Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************

Try >padding your vector out with 232 /.notdef tokens, and you *should* be in >business! Thnx very much for pointing this out! Also: I have a suggestion to you and Hans for the next version of texfont: Along with installing the pfb's and afm's into the texmf-fonts/fonts tree, it would be useful to also install the user-defined encoding files into /texmf-fonts/fonts/enc/dvips/<myfont-enc>/ whenever the --en switch calls for it. As it is now I have to install them manually. But thank you very much; I am indeed ""back in business"!

Installing a non-standard encoding vector
by Idris Samawi Hamid 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Dear gang, I'm trying to install an expert font a with a non-standard encoding vector; can't use texnansi, ec, etc.. I tried the following: 1. I created an encoding file for my font (minion-o.enc), following the syntax /encminiono[ /ornament1 : /ornament23 /space ] def 2. I placed the encoding file in /texmf-fonts/fonts/enc/dvips/minion-o; 3. I ran TeXFont: ====================================================== encoding vector : minion-o vendor name : adobe source path : . font collection : minion-o texmf font root : c:\context\tex\texmf-fonts pdftex map file : minion-o-adobe-minion-o.map source path : . processing files : all on afm path locating afm files : using pattern * copying files : afm copying : pmnrp8a.afm copying files : pfb copying : pmnrp8a.pfb no map file at : c:\CONTEXT\tex\texmf-fonts/fonts/map/pdftex/context/min ion-o-adobe-minion-o.map font identifier : Minion-Ornaments -> text -> tfm + vf generating raw tfm/vpl : minion-o-raw-pmnrp8a (from pmnrp8a) ! tokens 3 to 257 in encoding must be literal names ] def ^ generating new vf : minion-o-pmnrp8a (from minion-o-raw-pmnrp8a) updating map file : minion-o-adobe-minion-o.map ====================================================== but \showfont does not show any of my characters. There appears to be one error: ====================================================== ! tokens 3 to 257 in encoding must be literal names ====================================================== The label says: ====================================================== name: minion-o-pmnrp8a encoding: minion-o mapping: minion-o handling: default ====================================================== What am I missing here? How can I can install this font with my own encoding so that \showfont will display it? I enclose the complete encoding vector.

Textfont in math-formulas?
by Kai Straube 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Hi There, I have a little problem with fonts in my document. I use the cm sans serif font in my text and want to have this in the tex-formulas to, but it worked not for me. Simple example: \enableregime[utf] \setupoutput[pdf] \mainlanguage[de] \language[de] \setuppapersize[A4] \setupbodyfont[ss] \starttext Some text, we can read it without serifs. But the formula: $ \frac{1}{x-2} $ is not in the same font. \stoptext BTW is there another way to have units like g/(cm^3) as to set them as tex-formula. I dont no if the module units do such things. Thanks, Kai
