m-bib bug?
by ishamid 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Dear posse, Some settings of \setupindenting[] cause the first line created by \placepublications to be offset to the left; is this a bug? is there a workaround? (And thank you Taco/Hans for helping me with my ``sneaky'' accent redefinitions!)

TOC indenting
by David Arnold 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

All, In my table of contents, I have: \definecombinedlist [content][section,subsection] \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=c,aligntitle=yes,width=2.5em] How do I set up my TOC so that subsections are indented slightly more than sections in which they are contained?

How to switch between fonts?
by Stefan Wachter 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Dear font experts! For some weeks I try very hard to generate minimal PDF documents using the PDF base 14 fonts. Now the following problem popped up: The Helvitica, Times, and Courier fonts have "8a" as their default encoding. Unfortunately, the 8a encoding is somewhat incomplete because it misses some characters (eg. the degree character). In TeX I use texnansi encoding because it offers most of the special characters that I need. If I use 8a encoding for the PDF document (in order to avoid reencoding) then the degree symbol is typeset by an embedded "txsy" font. The bad thing about this solution is that this degree character does not take care of \bf, \it, or \bi. Therefore the result is unsatisfactory. If I use texnansi encoding for the PDF document then the degree symbol is typeset nicely. The disadvantage of this option is that now the built-in fonts are always reencoding which make some additional 2kb for the PDF document. I would like to have the reeconded font to be used only if it is really necessary. Now I see two problems: 1. A particual problem in this situation Is it possible to define font synonymes locally (i.e. inside a group)? In that case I could map the virtual fonts that are base on 8a encoded raw fonts into virtual fonts that are based on texnansi reencoded raw fonts. I tried that but it seems that font synonymes are accepted only at the beginning. 2. A general problem Provided that I write a set of typescripts for defining a typeface similar to the postscript typefaces of ConTeXt but based on other (virtual) fonts: is it possible to switch between these two typefaces. The switch must respect the current font characteristics (i.e. \ss, \rm, \tt, \bf, \it, \bi, and size). Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

Problems with new beta
by Thomas A.Schmitz 18 Mar '05

Just installed the new beta. Now every run of texexec dies with lots of messages like this: kpathsea: Running mktexmf ec-lmcsc10 ! I can't find file `ec-lmcsc10'. <*> ...four; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmcsc10 Please type another input file name ! Emergency stop. <*> ...four; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmcsc10 Transcript written on mfput.log. grep: ec-lmcsc10.log: No such file or directory What gives? Thomas

hyphenation not working
by Paul Tremblay 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

I've noticed that hypenation is not working in my test ConTeXt documents. I have looked repeatedly at the manual and searched the wiki. It seems that hyphenations should be automatic? I am testing simple files with the language as English. Does one have to turn hyphenation on? Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************

Palatino?
by Thomas A.Schmitz 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hi gang, I have a problem on my system with the Palatino font. In type-enc, it's mapped to \definefontsynonym [Palatino] [\typescriptthree-uplr8a] [encoding=\typescriptthree] However, on my system (Gerben Wierda's installation), there is no texnansi- or EC- or whatever-uplr8a. Palatino works flawlessly with LaTeX, mapped to pplr8t, and of course, it works with ConTeXt if I create the tfms myself with texfont, but I thought there was some default support for Palatino. Am I missing something? Best Thomas

>> 2. is there a way I can check that it is working properly without >> sending it to the printer each time? > > Acrobat has an overprint preview since v5; AFAIK Reader got it in v7. Yes... but it doesn't show up any problem. (Well, it just displays the same thing with overprint preview as without.) *But* in Acrobat Professional 7, doing a preflight check for CMYK+Spot output, it complains about overprint = off on all the text on tints. So I guess there is a problem in some way? This is why I am confused. Knowing what ConTeXt incantations *should* make it work would be a start, and then I can tell the printer that they have to fix it! :-) Duncan

footnote placement
by ishamid 17 Mar '05

Dear syndicate, 1. When I place footnotes as endnotes, they overflow the page, like an oversize \vbox. 2. E.g. \input tufte does not work from inside \footnote{} Here is a test file.

Suppress numbering of figures
by David Arnold 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

All, I have: \placefigure [here][] {Mary Glenn}{\externalfigure[MaryGlenn3.jpg][width=0.5\makeupwidth]} I'd like the figure to float with the caption, but I don't want the Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. That is, I just want the caption under the figure. How can I modify to accomplish this?
