TeXFont Problem
by Fergal Grimes 19 Dec '04

19 Dec '04

Hi, I'm a TeX/ConTeXt beginner and I'm having trouble installing a new font. I just purchased Sabon from Adobe and I'm following the installation instructions at http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html. The problem is that when I run TeXFont it just copies the AFM and PFB files into the directory tree at C:\Program Files\TeXLive\texmf-local\fonts. (I'm using TeXLive distribution for Win32.) However, for some reason it does not generate the TFM and VF files. I searched the archives of this list and notice that this problem was raised by chabah5 at hotmail.com on Thu Aug 12 13:21:56 2004, but got no answer. Can anyone help me? I've got TeXFont version 2.2.1. and I run the folowing command from the directory where the downloaded font files reside: texfont --vendor=adobe --collection=sabon --makepath --install The output I get is appended below. I'd appreciate any help you can give (since I've invested $160 in Adobe Sabon!!!) Thanks, Fergal -------------------------------------------------------- C:\Temp>texfont --vendor=adobe --collection=sabon --makepath --install Kpathsea released!

French quotes ..
by Dirar BOUGATEF 18 Dec '04

Hi, Just wandering how to configure Context to display french quotes instead of english ones. French quotes look like this : << my text >>, where english ones look like this: "my text". Of course, am using the \mainlanguage[fr] option in my document. Many thanks.

Vertical justification of each slide
by Laurent Chéno 18 Dec '04

18 Dec '04

(* please excuse my poor english *) Hi, I use ConTeXt for presentations : I wish text on each slide to be vertically justified and vertically centered (between 2 occurrences of "\page"). There is surely a simple way to achieve that, but I don't found it. Do you can help me ? Thank you in advance. Laurent Chéno

Problems with uniqueMPgraphic
by Adam Duck 18 Dec '04

I have this small test case: and it comes out with the wrong colors. So, I think I know that this is because of the same dimensions but I want to have different colors for the same overlay-dimensions. How do I do that? bye, Adam.

No bonds visibel with ppchtex
by Kai Straube 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Hi there, I try to write some structures with ppchtex, but I found that the bonds will not beeing drawn. Simple examble: \usemodule[chemic, units, pictex] \mainlanguage[de] \language[de] \enableregime[il1] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \setuppapersize[A4] \starttext \startchemical \chemical[ONE,SB1,SB4,SB2,SB7,Z01247][C,H,H,H,H] \stopchemical \stoptext This results in only the symbols. but no bonds. Any suggestions? Thank you, Kai

Hello, is someone using the letter module as mentioned in xcorresp.pdf (the correspondence manual)? There is written that the layout is defined in a file "m-letter.tex". I can´t find this file and the examples from the manual are not working too. Is there an example file for the use of this module? regards Wolfgang

Re: [XeTeX] XeTeX infinite loop [][][][][][] bug - possible fix

Well, at the moment, it's "context": extra_mem_bot.context = 0 (That's a pretty harsh workaround, considering "extra_mem_bot.context = 4000000" is the default in gwTeX. ConTeXters may prefer the \hfuzz suggestion from the XeTeX list. In any case, it explains why I was seeing the infinite loop so early!) >Please let me know, those who've run into the problem, whether this >does solve it for you. Meanwhile, I will of course aim to fix the bug >in XeTeX that makes non-zero "extra_mem_bot" settings fail in this way. A quick test on a file that normally sends XeTeX spinning away was fine after zeroing extra_mem_bot. Thanks! adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
