Postscript fonts (was: gwTeX and missing PS fonts)

> However, something else broke when I upgraded. I cannot get the > Postscript fonts working anymore. Here is what I have in the file: > > \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] > \setupbodyfont[pos,11pt] By some grepping into the sources I found the problem. It seems that the file type-pre.tex has changed between the versions I have been using. Now there is the extra line: \starttypescriptcollection[previous] which seems to cause the problem of "unknown variant: pos". Without knowing anything more, a simple "usetypescriptcollection" or something similar would be my guess. However, I am a bit afraid of the word "previous" and the comments in the beginning of the file. So, a question follows: I want to make documents with Times/Helvetica/Courier combination (as was done with "pos"). I do not have the commercial fonts, but I do have the TeX Live (or teTeX) distribution. What is the right way to get to use the fonts? I'm sorry but I do not like the Computer Modern in my reports and brochures. I want to have something else, and that something should be easy to use in any distribution. TIA, - Ville

start*matter adding page
by Stuart Jansen 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

When I divide my document into \startfrontmatter, \startbodymatter, etc. an extra page is added to the end of the pdf. Is this expected behavior? How can I prevent it? \def\mypagenumber#1% {\headnumber[chapter]-#1} \setuppagenumbering[command=\mypagenumber] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{foo} \section{bar} \section{baz} \chapter{qux} \section{quux} \section{corge} \chapter{grault} \section{garply} \section{waldo} \stopbodymatter \stoptext -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

Step repeat pdf in overlay
by Randall Skelton 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Hi all, I've created a small (15x15 mm) tile image (actually a vector PDF) that I'd like repeat on a cover page but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to step repeat* the image. Here is what I have: \useexternalfigure[cover][background] \defineoverlay[cover][{\externalfigure[cover][repeat=yes]}] \starttext \setupbackgrounds[page][background=cover] \startstandardmakeup My title goes here \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext As one might expect, I get a tiny tile in the centre of the page. Any ideas? Cheers, Randall * By 'step repeat' I mean something like: http://www.excourse.com/steps/ http://www.adobe.com/education/pdf/id_tutorials/suzanne/step_and_repeat.pdf

Yes, that was my starting point. Foolishly I hoped there were similar facilities for natural tables. Thanks all the same.

gwTeX and missing PS fonts
by Ville Voipio 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

I had a smoothly working gwTeX with the exception of a few hyphenation patterns. Before debugging that problem any further, I decided to get the newest beta (texexec 5.3.1, context 2005.04.19). I got the hyphenation problem fixed. It had nothing to do with the distribution or version, just my lack of thinking. Editing cont-usr.tex and then 'texexec --make --all', and ConTeXt was hyphenating Finnish beautifully. However, something else broke when I upgraded. I cannot get the Postscript fonts working anymore. Here is what I have in the file: \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[pos,11pt] Everything goes relatively smoothly, except for the fact that I get everything typeset in Computer Modern. A small error message is in the output: bodyfont : unknown variant pos What went wrong? I cannot find the file font-pos.tex on my machine, but as I cannot find it in the source tree, either, it seems to have been embedded somewhere. How should I debug this problem? Where is the actual definition for "pos"? - Ville

Figure formats
by Jörg Hagmann 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Dear list members, If you have the choice of format when preparing the figures for a book written with ConTeXt, what would you opt for? (The figures are being drawn with ChemDraw and Illustrator). JPEG, TIFF, eps etc, or doesn't it matter? Should the figures be drawn at exactly the final size, or is resizing when setting ok? Other suggestions? Thank you for the help, Jörg. PD Dr.med.

\splitfloat and \bTABLE do not play well?

Reading earlier messages on this list I hoped the following would work for natural tables as well. It does not, the table ends up unsplit. What am I doing wrong? \starttext \splitfloat [lines=3, conversion=greek] {\placetable{test}} {\bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTR \bTD a \eTD\bTH b \eTH\eTR \dorecurse{50}{\bTR\bTD 1 \eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR} \eTABLE} \stoptext -- Johan Sandblom N8, MRC, Karolinska sjh t +46851776108 17176 Stockholm m +46735521477 Sweden "What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite" -- Bertrand Russell
