\naarbox
by Alan C. Bowen 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

I have been reading through some of the source files (still working on that \note problem) and decided that I had better stop guessing what the English equivalent of \naarbox is. Is there a Dutch speaker who can tell me what I should replace this command with ? Many thanks. Alan

Pseudo Small Caps
by Vit Zyka 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hi, on the http://contextgarden.net/Pseudo_Small_Caps there is a recipe for: - generating Pseudo Small Caps by texutil, and - preparing typescript for variant \Var[SmallCaps] font switch. Example for Latin Modern: http://typokvitek.com/tex/pseudocaps/smallcaps.pdf After that it is possible to write: \def\sc{\Var[SmallCaps]} { Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\bf Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\bi Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\tt { Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par } {\ss { Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\bf Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par } Example source: http://typokvitek.com/tex/pseudocaps/smallcaps.tex Typescript http://typokvitek.com/tex/pseudocaps/type-lm-var.tex Commands http://typokvitek.com/tex/pseudocaps/make-pseudocaps.txt Have a small cups fun Vit -- ======================================================= Ing.

Apple Baskerville typescript
by Steven Lumos 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Does someone happen to have a typescript for Apple's Baskerville? My own attempt is below. I installed the font using fondu and texfont. The example file output by texfont works. I don't see anything obviously helpful in the log file. \starttypescript [serif] [baskerville] [name] \setups [font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Baskerville] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Baskerville-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Baskerville-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Baskerville-BoldItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [map] [baskerville] [texansi] \loadmapfile [texansi-apple-baskerville.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [baskerville] [texansi] \definefontsynonym [Baskerville] [Baskerville] [encoding=texansi] \definefontsynonym [Baskerville-Bold] [Baskerville-Bold] [encoding=texansi] \definefontsynonym [Baskerville-Italic] [Baskerville-Italic] [encoding=texansi] \definefontsynonym [Baskerville-BoldItalic] [Baskerville-BoldItalic] [encoding=texansi] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [baskerville] [texansi] \definetypeface [baskerville] [rm] [serif] [default] [encoding=texansi] \stoptypescript Thanks in advance.

Hi, I would like to design a new head for \chapter{...}, but I am new to TeX/ConTeXt and am having trouble. I would like my head to be something like this: http://www.geocities.com/arunswarup/images/title.png I know this a more a TeX-related rather than a ConTeXt-related problem thx -arun P.S. I have {\em just} started reading the TeXBook ... not enough to do it myself __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.

Re: [NTG-context] metafun not working
by piskala upendran 29 Jun '05

Hi all, I have installed a fresh gs view 4.7 and pstoedit 3.40 all latest version under windows. I installed pstoedit at H/program files/ghostgum directory. Generated new metafun.mem and udated at localtexmf/miktex/mem directory and texmf/web2c directories. MY makempy still complains about pstoedit is unrecogonised internal or external command. I did update the database and format files in miktex options. How do i tell the path of pstoedit to makempy? ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

Maybe I can try with an older version, but I don't have it. I tried with 3.31 which resides in CTAN, but this is not compliant any more with the new version of gs. I tried a conversion ps -> mpost with some random file and with filename-mpgraph.1 and it worked OK.

Once I run texutil --purgeall, it crashes again. > For more information, see c:/gs/gs8.51/doc/Use.htm. > Report bugs to bug-gs(a)ghostscript.com, using the form in Bug-form.htm. I doubt that the problem lies in GS, but everything is possible.. If anyone would like to test the version 3.40 on the posted document and if there are downloading problems, please mail me. I can get no older version to test. Although it crashes, the resulting PDF file after 2 runs seems to be OK. Mojca
