dvips and ConTeXt
by Idris Samawi Hamid 16 Apr '05

Has anyone succeeded in getting dvips working for Latin Modern? If I install lmr to psfonts.map (with updmap) ======================= ec-lmr12 LMRoman12-Regular <ec-lm.enc <lmr12.pfb %etc. ======================= and do =========test-lmr========= % output=dvi interface=en \starttext This is a test of dvips and Latin Modern. 1234 \stoptext ======================= dvips does not complain: ======================= This is dvips(k) 5.94b Copyright 2004 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2005.04.16:1112' -> test-lmr.ps <texc.pro><ec-lm.enc><texps.pro>. <lmr12.pfb>[1] ======================= but ghostview does not display anything. On the other hand, dvips seems to work with fonts (like urw Garamond) that contain only 256 characters. Now e.g. lmr12.pfb contains more (which is why we can get e.g. old style numerals without virtual fonts there), but it seems to be at the cost of dvips (based on my experiments and investigations). (Thank goodness dvipdfmx still works!) Is dvips obsolete as far as ConTeXt is concerned?

Hello out there, after a \quotation no line break is possible. For what reason? Is this a bug or a feature?

Possible bug in verbatim
by Idris Samawi Hamid 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

Dear cartel, There is an apparent bug in the verbatim mechanism. In the following example, the `A' is typed but the curly brackets are not typed after \head. \type works as expected in the other two instances. I tried \relax (and a couple of other hacks) but that does not help. Please advise. Thnx in advance Idris ========================= % output=pdf interface=en \type{ {A} } \startitemize \head\relax \type{ {A} } \type{ {A} } \stopitemize \bye ========================= ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

the right way to do \ref?
by Paul Tremblay 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

I want to create cross references and just wanted to make sure I am doing it correctly: see \ref[r][mark1] \par \page \reference[mark1]{} foo \par Since my original file will be in XML, I don't need any of ConTeXt's other more advanced features. I will use the above code to generate a TOC, a list of tables, indices, etc. I also saw \pagereference in the manual, but I think this is if you use ConTeXt's other features, such as \section[mark1]{Title} Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************

Incidental report: ConTeXt i-Package update
by Gerben Wierda 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

The ConTeXT updater has changed (automatically) to include the latest ConTeXT beta (Apr 14). This is a completely automatic update, as soon as a new ConTeXt (stable or beta) is released, the i-Package will be updated automatically and uploaded to all reporsitories. Unless I build in reporting to these lists in my automatic update procedures in the future, these ConTeXt updates will not be reported to the list. G
