Greek Font Problem SOLVED
by Alan Bowen 20 Nov '04

20 Nov '04

Thanks to the very kind and patient efforts of Thomas Schmitz, I no longer get ugly bitmaps in typesetting Greek but lovely script. I am posting the solution to the problem in the hope that it might prove useful to others. PROBLEM: bitmap display of Greek fonts on typesetting. These fonts (Teubner, Oxonia, Leipzig, Ibycus, Kadmos, Bosphoros) come in a package obtained from Thomas. SOLUTION: 1. remove/trash teTeX folder(s) 2. reinstall teTeX (TeXLive 2004) using i–Installer 3. re-install ConTeXt updater • these first three steps were necessary because my installation of teTeX had become corrupted 4. in Terminal execute ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb --fixtexmftrees ~/Library/texmf 5. copy cont-sys.tex into /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/user/ 6. move the file greek.map into ~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/greek.map 7. in Terminal execute sudo updmap --disable greek.map and then sudo updmap --enable Map greek.map I will happy to send those interested a copy of cont-sys.tex. (Thomas prepared this file by modifying cont-sys.rme) Alan

font variants
by Adam Lindsay 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Hi all, I just wanted to run this technique by you all, and get a bit of feedback, both on the utility as well as the style of the solution. I'm a bit unhealthily obsessed by fonts, especially with getting the most out of the various features. Unfortunately, each vendor expresses different features in different ways, so that leads to font-sensitive markup. This problem explodes in the OpenType and XeTeX world, because of the number of features each font exposes. However, it's relevant in the pdfTeX/type1 world as well. Just last night, I discovered the FPL fonts (SC/OsF for URW Palladio) on CTAN (<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/fpl/>). How does one access the old style figures in this font without knowing intimately about the font? I took inspiration (and code) from the Unicode font mechanisms and the new font effects. The code is in the attached test-psc, the typescript in type-psc. The result is at <http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/test-psc.pdf>. What this does and doesn't do: - generalises font access to features in associated fonts - adapts itself to current size/family/alternative - doesn't allow further adaptation (e.g., \it \Var[osf] 123 \bf 456) - best for short runs of associated fonts (e.g., OsF, sub/superscripts) - can insert arbitrary features into existing typescripts - relies on a couple special naming conventions within typescripts - can be defined based on Serif/Sans/Mono family - is not currently defined based on bodyfont namespace. Is this more desirable with people \switchbodyfont ing in a doc? - allows expansion beyond \tf\bf\it\bi\sl\bs\sc choices. Any thoughts? (If anyone wants to give pointers on the correct usage/relevance of [#1][#2]#3 parameters, pushfont/popfont, and adapting to bodyfont namespaces, please feel free!) [Hans, if you see the general utility of this kind of solution, I'd appreciate the addition of Caps to the \fontstylesuffix.] -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Re: [NTG-context] A simple project.

I have installed Texlive8 (Not sure wether it is the latest one. I have used TeXSetup.exe). Am using rsync as you mentioned, but seems like it does not work, this is what i get: C:\>rsync2.5.1-dev -r -v www.pragma-pod.com::mswin mytex receiving file list ... Do i need a user account to do this .. ? Which version of rsync do you use ? Many thanks.

\setupURL issues
by Nikolai Weibull 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

\setupURL [color=blue] seems buggy. Try this: \setupcolors [state=start] \setupinteraction [state=start] \setupurl [color=blue] \useURL[one][http://www.google.com/] \starttext Why the hell is \from[one] wrapping so badly? \stoptext You will (hopefully...or something) notice that the http:// appears above and slightly to the left of www.google.com in the sentence. remove \setupurl[...] and it works fine, rendering it green. It also works fine if you remove the color=blue and add style=type instead or whatever. In noninteractive versions this works fine though and in documents without \setupcolors[state=start], nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

verb-ini and nath \(save|restore)catcode clash
by Nikolai Weibull 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Hi, again. verb-ini and nath both define (incompatible) instances of \save- and \restorecatcode. Simply renaming them in nath to \NATH(save|restore)catcode seems to work fine. Any suggestions? nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}
