Hi Peter, >===== Original Message From Peter Münster <pmlists(a)free.fr> ===== >> accented chars also? you dropped the (re)encoding ... > >No, you're right, only ASCII works... > >Here another try, that seems to work even with accented chars (but I do *not* >understand, what I do... ;) : >texnansi-raw-ugmm8a GaramondNo8-Med "TeXnANSIEncoding ReEncodeFont" <texnansi.enc <ugmm8a.pfb I'm curious: how did you figure this out? Where does the "TeXnANSIEncoding ReEncodeFont" syntax come from? (Just trying to learn...)

Fixme replacement
by Robert Ullrey 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of a similar macro in CoNTeXt to the LaTeX \Fixme package <http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fixme.html>. What fixme allowed me to do that I have yet to figure out in context is make inline notes "\fxnote" or marks "\fxwarning" "\fxerror" that would then in draft mode print either margin or footnotes where the change was needed. It was very handy when, as an editor, wanting to make quick comments in proofing. Fixme also prints an index of all the fixmes. Any ideas?

btex-etex
by Jiri Polcar 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Hallo, my ConTeXt ignore btex-etex command. It works as the btex-etex command is empty. No text on output. Simple example: \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{test} picture p; p := btex TEST etex scaled 5cm; draw p; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{test} \stoptext On output is only page number. In the 'mpgraph.mp' is (if a skip some definitions): ResetTextAreas ; SaveTextAreas ; ResetTextAreas ; if unknown context_core : input mp-core.mp ; fi ; local_multi_par_area:=false; ;; verbatimtex \global \loadfontfileoncetrue etex; let mprunend = end ; beginfig(1); picture p; p := btex TEST etex scaled 5cm; draw p; endfig; let end = mprunend ; end. If a extract a part with beginfig(1); picture p; p := btex TEST etex; draw p; endfig; end. and proccess it with mpost it works good. My ConTeXt comes from Fedora Core 3 distribution. Any suggestion how to solve it? -- JP

CAUTION: on Linux I've had problems because of precise spelling (capitals versus lower case). so your map file entries must match the case for your tfm files, etc. Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Switching fonts (or font size) in columnsets
by Gilles Pérez-Lambert 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Hello, With the example attached at the end of the mail (and that can be try on http://live.contextgarden.net) the page on which the font change occurs (be it the size or a new font) is moved up and the page is shorter... Is there a way to say that some text (here the items) are not to be aligned on the grid because they are smaller (or bigger)? Thanks! Gilles. % Example: \showgrid \setuplayout[grid=yes] \setupitemize[before={\switchtobodyfont[small]}] \definecolumnset[ex][n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[ex] \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth\relax\placefigure{}{}} \startitemize[n,packed,intro] \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \item Un \stopitemize \stopcolumnset \stoptext

I know it's probably hopeless till Giuseppe comes back, but I'll ask anyway: Is there any way to compile a new aleph with the new eTeX and jonathan kew's bugfix for the extra mem_bot before Giuseppe returns?

Brand new install on XP.
by Dirar BOUGATEF 03 Apr '05

03 Apr '05

Hi all, Following Hans instructions from a previous mail, am trying to setup context on a new machine without installing any distribution. I would like to use the minimal context tree. Here is the instructions from a previous post: an option is (assuming that you have rsync running): c: cd \ mkdir mytex rsync -r -v www.pragma-pod.com::mswin mytex cd mytex setuptex texexec --make --alone --all and voila you have a running system (like i have) (updating is then also rather efficient) c:\mytex\setuptex c:\mytex can then be used any time. rsync www.pragma-pod.com:: I have done all of this but when i type texexec nothing happeneds. Anything missing out there ? Thanks for your help.
