Hi Adam, >===== Original Message From mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> ===== >And Idris, it's here: ><http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/garamond/> Ah! From the ctan dates, it appears this font was added a while after my TeXLive version (from last summer; time to update:-<<). Thnx a lot for pointing out this location.

Hi again... >===== Original Message From ciro(a)kavyata.com, mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> ===== >Idris, >thank you for your interest.

Thnx, please do;-) I scanned my TeXLive installation (from last July; I installed all font packages I think) and could not find any reference to Garamond at all. I even checked the TeXLive setup files. Anyway, Even if you have the afm files, I suspect you have to buy Garamond: http://semantics-online.org/geek/2003/09/how_to_install_adobe_garamond_for_… Adam Lndsay has some comments there; maybe he knows something about this? But if you find another way let me know! Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

A \placefigure in \endnote results in a figure in the main text, not the end notes. G

RE: My ConTeXt cannot use Type1 fonts...
by 李树钧 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi, Thank Idris Samawi Hamid and Geert for their help on clarifying this problem. Today I saw a solution from a Chinese TeXer, and now I understand why the Type1 fonts cannot be recognized. To make ConTeXt support Chinese, I maintain a file named tex\contex\user\cont-sys.tex, which is a modifed copy of texmf\tex\context\user\cont-sys.rme. In this file, there are the following codes: ....... \resetmapfiles \donefalse \ifx\pdftexversion\undefined \else \ifnum\number\pdftexversion>119 \donetrue \fi \fi \ifdone \loadmapfile[original-base.map] \loadmapfile[original-ams-base.map] \loadmapfile[original-public-lm.map] \else \loadmapfile[original-base.map] \loadmapfile[texnansi-base.map] \loadmapfile[ec-base.map] \loadmapfile[qx-base.map] \loadmapfile[t5-base.map] %loadmapfile[il2-base.map] %loadmapfile[pl0-base.map] \loadmapfile[8r-base.map] \loadmapfile[original-ams-base.map] \loadmapfile[original-ams-euler.map] \loadmapfile[original-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[texnansi-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[ec-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[qx-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[t5-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[pl0-public-lm.map] \loadmapfile[il2-public-lm.map] \fi ....... These codes let ConTeXt load the map files for pdftex, so psfonts.map is omitted by ConTeXt. As a result, we have two solutions to overcome this problem: 1. comment all the above codes, and let ConTeXt to read font maps via pdftex; 2. add a line "\loadmapfile[xxx.map]" to explicitly load the required map, just as we should do in the beginning of a tex file (Geert's solution). Hope the above information is useful for other ConTeXters. Shujun _________________________________________________________________ 与联机的朋友进行交流，请使用 MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/cn

Beginner's font flop fixed: fantastic!
by Paul R Martin 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Dear ConTeXters, This message is to record my thanks to Thomas A.Schmitz for the solution to my font flop, and to Otared Kavian and Hans Hagen for helpful comments. I've planted the solution in the context garden at <http://contextgarden.net/Talk:My_Way>. If I hear voices of encouragement I could write up the solution as a My Way. Would this sort of problem be common enough to make such a document useful for beginners, or should I just get back to more important things such as finding out what a_foekepot_ looks like? Yours, PRM

scaling symbols
by Janko Hauser 01 Apr '05

Hello I followed Adams nice way, to include unicode symbols. Now I want to ask, how these can be scaled, so that they can be used more like small figures. Any hints? TIA, __Janko Hauser

\newbibfield[help!] : Very quick question.
by David Wooten 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Greetings all, In working with the bib module, I've been trying to understand the addition of a field. There is a "\newbibfield" command, but it is not entirely clear where to declare it. E.g., I want to have a field called "yearnote". If I place this in the list of commands in the t-bib.tex file, and call for it with "\insertyearnote" in the \setuppublicationlayout, it works perfectly. But declaring \newbibfield[yearnote] yields me an "undefined control sequence". Is there a special place to declare the latter? — I've tried in my current file, before and after \starttext, in the .bbl file, before and after \setuppublicationlist… no luck! Regards, David

Hi, In the latest versions of the Antykwa Torunska fonts there are also oldstyle figures. Though I have no problem to get \os{3} typeset I am not able to have the date tpeset with oldstyle figures. How can I achieve that? \currentdate[dd,{.~},mm,{.~},year] KR Willi

Re : My ConTeXt cannot use Type1 fonts...
by GEERT＠telefonica.net 31 Mar '05

I had exactly the same problem today after updating from an older tetex/context to the latest version of tetex. Problem seems to be some modifications in pdftex. After moving my type1 fonts (that previously worked fine) with their tfm, afm and type1 files to the new $HOME/.texmf-var/fonts folder, putting the map files in $HOME/.texmf-var/fonts/map folder and including those mapfiles with updmap, texexec generated the pdf file with pk bitmap fonts. Although I believed that tex could find all necessary font files and mapfiles, it was only after explicitly adding \loadmapfile[myownfonts.map] in the tex file, that everything suddenly worked fine (this was not necessary in my old tetex/context setup). Don't know if this will work with your chinese fonts, but you could give it a try.... geert
