texmfstart
by Hans Hagen 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hi, A next release of texmfstart will provide texmfstart bin:xsltproc kpse:somefile.xsl somefile.xml this means that one can put for instance xsl scripts (and whatever file) in the tree without the need for explicit paths; another application is: texmfstart bin:scite kpse:cont-sys.tex (or whatever editor you use); so, this will locate the actual cont-sys file and let you edit it, which is more convenient than locating the file in the tree first. Another (experimental) feature is: texmfstart --iftouched=old.pdf,new.pdf dosomething.rb old.pdf new.pdf which will only execute 'dosomething' when old and new have different time stamps. (This is a prelude to a more advanced 'runtime' graphic manipulation feature.) I also updated the manual (will be synced when i update the distribution).

Good question. I'll throw it open to the list: Metrics for the urw clone 35 used to be commonly found everywhere.

New context Release notes
by Taco Hoekwater 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hi there, For those of you who are interested, Hans has released a new ConTeXt last week, and I've created a release notes pages for it here: http://contextgarden.net/Context_2004.12.06 Highlights: * texfont.pl is now version 2.2.1. From now on, it uses internal filename globbing (using a new switch: --pattern=<wildcard>) instead of the shell wildcard expansion. Obviously, this means that the commandline has changed. * most other changes are bugfixes, follow the link for those. Greetings, Taco

recent font problems
by Patrick Gundlach 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hello out there, OK, I am having a bad day, but that doesn't stop me posting ... if you (Wolfgang) have font problems: please run the code that I mentioned in all my recent posts: Something like: -------------------------------------------------- \usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext -------------------------------------------------- If this goes wrong: post the relevant pieces of your logfile. This is the only way I can help. Please do not make assumptions about strange file names and please do not send me strange typescripts that I have never seen before (at least I forgot about them). Just run the code and post your results. After that we can try to find the rest of the problems. Thanks, Patrick (and sorry again for the bad sound of this mail) -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

I have the two files 5hur.pdf >and 5hur.afm. Ugh. IMHO, it's a waste of time bothering with berry style renaming. Texfont's beauty is that it takes fonts as they are (whole directories at a time).

It should. Do you have \autoloadmapfilestrue uncommented in your cont- sys.tex file? What errors come up in PDF creation?

Hi all, Just recompiled the doc LaTeX2ConTeXt (http://www.berenddeboer.net/tex/LaTeX2ConTeXt.pdf) The compiling process is OK under tetex-beta 2.99.4. But all external links not work! When I click on them, I go to the 1st page of document. Internal links work well. Anyone could help me please. Thank you in advance, Quy NGUYEN-DAI
