Old-style numerals
by Nikolai Weibull 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

To get old-style numerals as the default, the accepted solutions seems to be the following: \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[modern] However, this causes old-style numbers to be used for \type as well, which looks weird. Is there a way to override the switching to old-style numerals for the fixed-width typeface? Example: \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext 1 2 3 \type{1 2 3} \stoptext Thanks, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!

After reading Mr. Herbert Schultz's mail, I uninstalled ConTeXt updates and re-configure TeX via i-installer, it worked fine. No more mktexpk things. > (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/amsfonts/ueuex.fd) > [2] (./crypto.aux)kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 -- > mag 1 +57/600 --dpi 657 ounbtmb7 > mktexpk: Running gsftopk ounbtmb7 657 > gsftopk(k) version 1.19.2 > gs: No such file or directory > gs terminated abnormally with status 1 Now, in this case, how to use ConTeXt? Is there a way to use it without updating ConTeXt? Thank you. Dalyoung

Lowercasing section titles
by Nikolai Weibull 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hi! I would like to lowercase section titles within the document while retaining their casing in the table of contents. I’ve tried figuring out how to use setuphead[section][textcommand=...] to do what I wish, but failed. Anyone have any suggestions?

problems with project
by Wolfgang Zillig 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hello, I'm setting up a structure for a project. Everything works fine when I compile the project file. When I compile one of the products I get output as well, but it includes automatically the "content" and all lists. The list of abbreviations and the index are included before the main text of this component starts. Why does this happen? I expected that only the environment file is loaded and nothing else. Any suggestion? Thanks a lot Wolfgang I have following files and structure (simplyfied) project: wooddoc.tex: \startproject wooddoc \environment environment \startfrontmatter \completecontent \product intro \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \product wood_anatomy \product wood_model \product wood_description_of_species \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \completelistofabbreviations \completeindex[n=3] \stopbackmatter \stopproject product: wood_description_of_species.tex \startproduct wood_description_of_species \project wooddoc \chapter{Description of selected wood species} some text here \component wood_description_of_species/douglas_fir %and there are some more components \stopproduct component wood_description_of_species/douglas_fir.tex % is in a subfolder \startcomponent douglas_fir \project wooddoc \product wood_description_of_species \section{Douglas fir {(\it Pseudotsuga menziesii)}} here some text \stopcomponent

Hello!

Problems with the pscyr font package
by Radhelorn 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hello All! I'm fresh ConTeXt user, trying to move from LaTeX. And I have several problems with fonts in ConTeXt 2005.06.07 (teTeX-3.0). First of all: pscyr. It's a cyrillic type1 font package which works perfectly in LaTeX, but in Plain TeX and ConTeXt whitespaces between words disappear. My input files: Test font. \font\myfont=fcori6a \myfont Test of font. Some text to test it. \bye and ConTeXt: \mainlanguage[ru] \useregime[cyr] \enableregime[koi8-r] \definefontsynonym[somefont][fcori6a][encoding=t2a] \definefont[myfont][somefont] \starttext Test of text. \myfont Test of PSCyr text. \stoptext What I'm doing wrong? -- Radhelorn <radhelorn(a)mail.ru>

Metapost question
by Tobias Burnus 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hello, does someone know how, if at all, one can printout some variable? Like Emean:=(2*Eone+Ezero+2*Etwo)/5.; label.urt(btex $A = x$ .... where x is the value of Emean? I frequently create some diagrams, modify them and then forget to change the label. (If one could set the number of digits, it would be even nicer.) Tobias
