texexec in a shell script
by Robert Ullrey 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

I know someone out there has the answer to this. If I run texexec through a shell, even with the full path to texexec, I get an error, "/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/texexec: line 1: sed: command not found `.pl' not found." Running Google with the error shows that it is quit common, but I could not find a good fix. I guess kpsewhich gets lost in the shell because the shell needs full paths the whole way through the command. Has anyone written a shell to get texexec --pdf ? Thanks Robert

It works in text mode, but produces a bunch of errors in math mode. \digits doesn't seem to like \os in its argument. This definition works here for now: \def\OSdigits#1{\ifmmode{\os\digits{#1}}\else\digits{\os#1}\fi} > should do everything you need: since u're not mixing text in \digits do you > really need a global math font reencoding? In principle yes. For example, $f(x)=3x+7$ should come out with oldstyle figures, if these are used by default, shouldn't it? Btw, striving for good typography, in which cases should oldstyle figures *not* be used? Best regards, -- Eckhart

Another verbatim bug?

Dear gang, \type and \start-\stoptyping produce different results in the following instance: ======================= % output=pdf interface=en \starttext \type{texfont --help} \starttyping texfont --help \stoptyping \stoptext ======================= The bug is apparently in \type: it only generates one dash.

oldstyle figures
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi all, is there a way to set up oldstyle figures as the default? I have found some stuff searching the archive, but it doesn't really help me to get along. And does it work with the \digits command? Greetings, -- Eckhart

justification
by Jörg Hagmann 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Dear list members, After months of trying to figure out what TeX, ConTeXt etc is and how to install everything needed I finally produced my first document. I was thrilled when I saw real pdf pages with footnotes and all! However, I noticed the following problem (no doubt the first of many to come): justification on the right is far from perfect - there are lines sticking out. After going through the manual, I decided that "\setuptolerance[horizontal,verystrict]" in the setup area should do the trick, but it didn't. Any suggestions? (I set up ConTeXt on two Macs, once with teTeX and once with TeXLive, and on a Mac running Mandrakelinux and teTeX - the result was the same (same lines sticking out) on all of them). I am currently writing a textbook and I am looking forward to using ConTeXt. PD Dr.med.

bug with \setupsynonyms
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi, formatting synonyms with \setupsynonyms does not work when these are part of e.g. section headers. Example: \abbreviation{XYZ}{whatever} \setupabbreviations[textstyle=bold,synonymstyle=slanted] \starttext This should be bold/slanted: \XYZ/\infull{XYZ}. And it is. \section{This ist not: \XYZ/\infull{XYZ}} \stoptext I think this is not as it should be. Greetings, -- Eckhart
