Right aligned caption text.
by Nikolai Weibull 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

I would like two different methods of typesetting the captions of figures. Short captions should be aligned in the middle, while longer ones (spanning more than one line) should be aligned to the right (well, ragged right...). What I did to achieve this was to \definefloat[describedfigure][describedfigures][figure] \setupcaption [describedfigure] [align=right] \placedescribedfigure [] [figure:...] {A long description of the figure...} {...} and this works fine (is there a simpler way?). What I would like now is to have the caption of describedfigure to have a small margin, so it doesn't quite fill the width of the described figure. I couldn't find this described in details.pdf (http://www.pragma-ade.com/ is down at the moment so I couldn't check for any other doc's either). 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);}

Fonts in ConTeXt!
by G.C.H.M. Verhaag 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Beste ConTeXt gebruikers, Ik worstel al enige tijd met fonts in ConTeXt, en moet tot de conclusie komen dat ik er niets van begrijp, sorry! Heb ook geprobeerd diverse handleidingen m.b.t. fonts, zoals `Fonts in ConTeXt' door te spitten, maar ben hierin eveneens hopeloos vast gelopen. Afm-, tfm- en mapfiles voor mij ondoorgrondelijk! Ben er nog nooit in geslaagd een ander font te gebruiken dan het standaard font! Ik pas momenteel TeXLive 2003 toe. Is er iemand die op een simpele manier kan aangeven hoe ik dat werkend kan krijgen, zonder direct in jargon te vervallen? Ik krijg het Palatino font zoals bijvoorbeeld beschreven op pag. 91 van MAPS (najaar 2004) domweg niet werkend. Het boekje met al die mooie font voorbeelden is erg fraai, maar mij is het nog nooit gelukt een letter hiervan te produceren! En dit alles moet toch met de standaard TeXLive distributie makkelijk kunnen, zo begrijp ik. Ik ben onder de indruk van de kwaliteit van TeX, en dat is precies de reden waarom ik het gebruik! Maar dat gedoe met fonts maakt mij radeloos! Mijn laatste hoop is gevestigd op dit discussie-medium, om er achter te komen of ik de enige ben die dit probleem niet onder de knie weet te krijgen! Kan iemand mij op weg helpen, om dit probleem te begrijpen, en uiteindelijk op te lossen? Bij voorbaat dank! M.vr.gr., Geert -- Geert C.H.M.

Setting up header text
by cormullion 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

I’m trying to use \setupheadertexts to set up the headers to a specification. Is it possible to insert text between the various ‘chapter/section’ keys? What I want is something like this: | section “Chapter “ chapternumber “-” chapter | | “Chapter “ chapternumber “-” chapter section | where the “|” is a page edge, on a double-sided layout, and the “Chapter”s are literal strings, rather than the keys. I’m not clear from the command description whether this is possible. If not, might a clever macro do it? thanks

PDF bounding box problem?
by cormullion 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

I’m trying to place a PDF created by Adobe Illustrator 10 using \externalfigure. But it’s coming in with loads of white space around it. Although I’m new to ConTeXt, this reminds me of the old problem where there are different types of ‘box’ specified in the PDF file: one possibly specifying a paper size, others specifying perhaps the extent of the marks described within. The PDF file contains these ‘box’ lines: > /MediaBox [ 0.5 -0.5 612.5 791.5 ] > /ArtBox [ 206.97998 316.0459 402.12988 477.66016 ] > %%BoundingBox: 206 316 403 478 > %%HiResBoundingBox: 206.98 316.0459 402.1299 477.6602 > %AI3_TemplateBox: 306.5 395.5 306.5 395.5 > %AI3_TileBox: 30 35 582 761 > %%BoundingBox: 206 316 403 478 > %%HiResBoundingBox: 206.98 316.0459 402.1299 477.6602 > %%BoundingBox: 206 316 403 478 > %%HiResBoundingBox: 206.98 316.0459 402.1299 477.6602 > %AI3_TemplateBox: 306.5 395.5 306.5 395.5 > %AI3_TileBox: 30 35 582 761 > /FontBBox [ -167 -250 1006 939 ] > /FontBBox [ -222 -250 1006 922 ] To my untutored eye it looks like the MediaBox is being used - at least, the graphic takes up an area about Letter size. Is there some setting I’ve missed that lets me get the bounds of the graphics rather than the file? thanks!

I found a font package called bitstream-vera4context on a website and downloaded it. Unfortunately I can’t work out how to install them on my MacOS X system. Anyone care to give me the necessary mystic incantation? thanks

Fourier Expert Fonts
by Randall Skelton 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hi all, Can someone explain how I go about adding the Adobe Utopia Expert fonts so that ConTeXt is aware of them? I have the postscript fonts from Adobe but cannot figure out what to do with them. Is there a document that I've missed somewhere? Poking around in type-enc.tex suggests that much of the hard work has already been done... The type one fonts (Mac) were exported using FontLab and renamed to ls *.afm *.pfb futb8t.afm futbi9d.afm futr8t.afm futri8t.afm futs9e.afm futsc9wt.afm futb8t.pfb futbi9d.pfb futr8t.pfb futri8t.pfb futs9e.pfb futsc9wt.pfb futb9d.afm futbi9e.afm futr9e.afm futri9d.afm futsc9d.afm futsi9d.afm futb9d.pfb futbi9e.pfb futr9e.pfb futri9d.pfb futsc9d.pfb futsi9d.pfb futb9e.afm futc9d.afm futr9p.afm futri9e.afm futsc9dd.afm futsi9e.afm futb9e.pfb futc9d.pfb futr9p.pfb futri9e.pfb futsc9dd.pfb futsi9e.pfb futbi8t.afm futc9e.afm futrc9d.afm futs9d.afm futsc9hd.afm futbi8t.pfb futc9e.pfb futrc9d.pfb futs9d.pfb futsc9hd.pfb and tried to run a trivial fontinst script: \input fontinst.sty \needsfontinstversion{1.926} \recordtransforms{fut-rec.tex} \latinfamily{fut}{} \endrecordtransforms \bye but I don't get any propery list or virtual property list files? Apologies if this is trivial... it has been a while since I tinkered with fonts in TeX. Thanks, Randall

In the index I create, the page numbers are active (marked green as defined in \setupinteraction). In contents entries, only the chapter numbers are active. Can I make the page numbers active in contents? thanks

Tex-Live bittorrent sites?
by karl＠freefriends.org 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Is there a bittorrent site for downloading the current version of texlive? Not that I am aware of. If you find one or can set one up, please email tex-live(a)tug.org with the info. For those who may not know -- Hans just asked me :) -- BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer system that lets big files be downloaded in small pieces from many different machines. The client reassembles the pieces. I haven't used it myself, although I've heard some good things about it. http://bittorrent.com/ karl
