Re: [NTG-context] arabtex support - we broke something

Using test.tex and your new m-arabtex.tex, it fail. log and my solution below. ========= test.tex ==================================== \input m-arabtex \usetypescript[postscript] \switchtotypeface[postscript] \starttext \setarab \novocalize \section{\<mu.hammad>} %short arabic use \< ..> here is some text in english. here in arabic .\<mu.hammad>. we can mix them. hurray. we get both of them together. we can see this is fun and going nowhere. \startarabic % long arabic kAjyn ayn mmr.hAl sAtw prwtwtA'yp awntwq mnjAnkn dwkwmn jAwy dry dwkwmn rwmy . <hei, I am in english> ay mggwnAkn kwnsyp pgatwrcArA'n brAsAskn kwmpwnwn . ay mggwnAkn kwnsyp pgatwrcArA'n brAsAskn kwmpwnwn. \stoparabic \stoptext ================================================ error log; ! Extra \else. \test@space ...\a@@putword \xpa \kill@space \else \xpa \next@command \fi <to be read again> .... my solution; comment these lines; (near line 402 ). probably the support for hebrew broke things. another possibility is that all these 3 files already loaded by m-arabtex.tex and reload them break things. % \ReadFile{hebtex.sty} % \ReadFile{apatch.sty} % \ReadFile{hepatch.sty} and the file compile OK. I don't knew hebrew, however, I will try to understand the hebrew support. the character "|" and "~" still produce "illegal command" in \startarabic...\stoprabic. will try to trace this one. be happy to write the manual later. zamri On Thu, 24 Feb 2005 00:42:24 +0100, Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> wrote: > Hi, > > I cleaned up the files a bit (first step); can you test these? > > \input m-arabtex % new version of \usemodule will accept long names > > can you also take a loot at hebrew?

OK, that works. I can process the texnansi-sun-sunsans.tex and the texnansi-sun-sunserif.tex files. I must have something amuck with my typescript. I'll check it out. (BTW, I checked this before and thought it failed, I must have processed an old version of the file produced by texfont.) I can't see anything obvious in my typescript, maybe I've fouled up on the encoding or something. Thanks, Lou

wiki and tables
by Paul Tremblay 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

I hope this isn't off topic, but can someone give me help creating tables in the wiki? The wiki states that it supporst XHTML tables. I want to create tables in this format, or as close as possible. In XHTML, you control borders and other characteristics by CSS. So how does one do the same in the wiki? <table>  <tr> <td>cell one</td><td>cell two</td> </tr> </table> Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************

Make a border around every page.
by John R. Culleton 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

Some time back Hans provided a rather elabaorate macro that put a bevel type frame around a page. Now I am looking for something much less elaborate for an entire document. I wish to surround each page with a simple rectangle. perhaps 1 point thickness. The frame would be inset from the paper edge perhaps 3/8 inch on all four sides. The text would be set with margins of perhaps 3/4 inch all around on letter size paper. Can this be done simply? Is metafun the path to follow? -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com

gsftopk failing after upgrade

I have a Gerben Wierda TeX and ConTeXt distribution I upgraded yesterday to the latest versions of everything. I had some additional fonts installed. I re-installed the fonts using the following commands: texfont --ve=sun --co=sunserif --ma --in texfont --ve=sun --co=sunsans --ma --in and updated the pdftex.cfg file adding the following map +texnansi-sun-sunsans.map map +texnansi-sun-sunserif.map but am getting the following error on my texexec --pdf execution using the fonts [flush and process sol10-web-mpgraph.mp afterwards]kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 72 --mag 1+52/72 --dpi 124 texnansi-raw-ssr mktexpk: Running gsftopk texnansi-raw-ssr 124 gsftopk(k) version 1.19.2Cannot find font file grep: texnansi-raw-ssr.log: No such file or directory mktexpk: `gsftopk texnansi-raw-ssr 124' failed to make texnansi-raw-ssr.124pk. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. ) (see the transcript file for additional information) Warning: pdfetex (file texnansi-raw-ssr): kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 72 --mag 1+0/72 --dpi 72 texnansi-raw-ssr mktexpk: Running gsftopk texnansi-raw-ssr 72 gsftopk(k) version 1.19.2Cannot find font file grep: texnansi-raw-ssr.log: No such file or directory mktexpk: `gsftopk texnansi-raw-ssr 72' failed to make texnansi-raw-ssr.72pk.

"ConTeXt ver: 2005.03.02" (pragma site calls it 2005-02-03 [?] 15:19 ) doesn't include the changes that Patrick (no more "8 runs") found out: sub FlushFiles { print TUO "%\n" . "% $Program / Files\n" . "%\n" ; foreach $File (sort keys %Files) { print TUO "% $File ($Files{$File})\n" } print TUO "%\n" ; $NOfFiles = keys %Files ; "texutil.pl" is untouched. I guess Hans is still verifying this perl hassle? Steffen

Times New Roman and endnotes
by ishamid 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

Dear fellow conspirators, I have a book chapter that is to be published in an edited volume of a philosophy series by Springer/Kluwer, but the typesetter could not recreate the transliteration symbols needed. So the editor has just asked me to typeset the article for them. My chapter is the only thing holding up the publication of the book. I need two things very urgently: 1. Setups for Times New Roman (is there a Type1 version that comes with TeX?); 2. I need to replace my footnotes with (aargh!) endnotes. Is there a simple way to do this?

ConTeXt-updater i-Package updated
by Gerben Wierda 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

I have reinstated the automatic update of the TeX ConTeXt-updater i-Package, which will again automatically be updated when Hans Hagen updates his ConTeXt (stable or beta or both). The package offers choice between ConTeXt and ConTeXt beta (when available) on install. G PS. For NTG-ConTeXt: i-Packages are a software install mechanism for Mac OS X only. For most of you, this will be a very cryptic message I guess. I'll be posting this only once to NTG-ConTeXt. People interested in using i-Installer to keep their TeX up to date on Mac OS X may get their info from the Mac OS X TeX mailing list.
