Split table across pages.
by John R. Culleton 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

-- If one has a long table that splits across several pages, and the first line of the table is really the headers for the columns, is there a convenient way to have the headers automatically inserted on each successive page that contains part of the table? I can do it manually of course. But I was looking for a more magic way. John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com

batch getafm conversion
by Idris Samawi Hamid 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Dear gang, I found a TeXLive utility, getafm, that generates an afm file from a pfb file. I need to generate a large number of afms, but I'm having difficulty getting this utility to work: getafm <myfont.pfb> > <myfont>.afm works fine, but getafm *.pfb > *.afm does not. There does not appear to be any help info for getafm either; getafm -h[--help] actually generates an on-screen afm listing(?) Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this? Thnx in advance Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

new command question
by Idris Samawi Hamid 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Dear musketeers, Instead of, say, \usetypescriptfile[type-ugm] \usetypescript[URWGaramond] \setupbodyfont[urwgaramond,10pt] I would like to define a single command as follows, using the ConTeXt option method instead of \def{}{}{}: \globalbodyfont[type-ugm][URWGaramond][urwgaramond,10pt] I would like to learn how to do this. Thnx in advance for your help. [Does ConTeXt already have a one line global command for this? or is there a better way?] Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Hi Peter, >===== Original Message From Peter Münster <pmlists(a)free.fr> ===== >> accented chars also? you dropped the (re)encoding ... > >No, you're right, only ASCII works... > >Here another try, that seems to work even with accented chars (but I do *not* >understand, what I do... ;) : >texnansi-raw-ugmm8a GaramondNo8-Med "TeXnANSIEncoding ReEncodeFont" <texnansi.enc <ugmm8a.pfb I'm curious: how did you figure this out? Where does the "TeXnANSIEncoding ReEncodeFont" syntax come from? (Just trying to learn...) I'm happy it's working for you now:-) Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Fixme replacement
by Robert Ullrey 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of a similar macro in CoNTeXt to the LaTeX \Fixme package <http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fixme.html>. What fixme allowed me to do that I have yet to figure out in context is make inline notes "\fxnote" or marks "\fxwarning" "\fxerror" that would then in draft mode print either margin or footnotes where the change was needed. It was very handy when, as an editor, wanting to make quick comments in proofing. Fixme also prints an index of all the fixmes. Any ideas?

btex-etex
by Jiri Polcar 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Hallo, my ConTeXt ignore btex-etex command. It works as the btex-etex command is empty. No text on output. Simple example: \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{test} picture p; p := btex TEST etex scaled 5cm; draw p; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{test} \stoptext On output is only page number. In the 'mpgraph.mp' is (if a skip some definitions): ResetTextAreas ; SaveTextAreas ; ResetTextAreas ; if unknown context_core : input mp-core.mp ; fi ; local_multi_par_area:=false; ;; verbatimtex \global \loadfontfileoncetrue etex; let mprunend = end ; beginfig(1); picture p; p := btex TEST etex scaled 5cm; draw p; endfig; let end = mprunend ; end. If a extract a part with beginfig(1); picture p; p := btex TEST etex; draw p; endfig; end. and proccess it with mpost it works good. My ConTeXt comes from Fedora Core 3 distribution. Any suggestion how to solve it? -- JP

>===== Original Message From Peter Münster <pmrb(a)free.fr> ===== >> I've had the same problem-) you need a separate map file for dvips (and >> dvipdfm). Ah, the TeX "font mess"... > >Do you know, how the content of this file should look like? >Cheers, Peter Try this: Add the line p +myfont.map to your local dvips.ps file, in /fonts/dvips/config syntax: =========myfont.map=========== plb10 PLB10 <plb10.pfb =========================== place in your local /fonts/dvips/config for dvipdfmx: add f myfont.map to your local /fonts/dvipdfm/config config file. dvipdfmx has a slightly different syntax, it includes encoding info: =========myfont.map.dvipdfmx=========== plb10 texnansi <plb10.pfb =========================== place in your local /fonts/dvipdfm/config This generally works for me. CAUTION: on Linux I've had problems because of precise spelling (capitals versus lower case). so your map file entries must match the case for your tfm files, etc. Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
