In updating my context documentation today, I managed to overwrite my copy of ".../general/manuals/style.pdf", which I was studying. Is this document still available, perhaps renamed - it don't find it in the list of files in http://www.pragma-ade.nl/wget.txt. Thank-you --

"uninitialized value"

I'm following the "Install ConTeXt" instructions on <http://levana.de/context/>. I'm installing this on a Debian Testing machine. I've downloaded and installed version 2005.01.31. I just ran "texversion.pl" and get: kdp@yaz:~/Projects/ConTeXt$ ./texversion.pl Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/context/2005.01.31/bin/texexec line 344.

texshow-web
by Vit Zyka 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Hallo Patrick, I added one third (only one third but most important one since analogy;-) of \setuplayout command to tewshow-web. To be more descriptive I snaffled table of page areas from wiki. Unfortunately comment field seems not to be html sensitive (see http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ts.rb?lang=en&what=desc&if=en&cmd=setuplay…) ... Is there some chance to display the table here or it is better to refer to the wiki page (http://contextgarden.net/Layout)? Vit Zyka

Can one redefine the TeX output macro as one can within TeX? If so, how? Thanks. A wannabe ConTeXt user. Tom Browder

Czech compound word handling
by David Antos 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

Hello, would it be possible to define || for compound words to act as \discretionary{-}{-}{-}? In Czech, the hyphen for compound words should be repeated in the following line. Thanks, D.A. -- Try to remove the color-problem by restarting your computer several times. -- Microsoft-Internet Explorer README.TXT

How to use and not embed the PdfBase14 fonts?
by Stefan Wachter 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

Hi all! I want to generate PDF documents that use the standard PDF fonts (Helvetica, Times-Roman, and Courier) and not to embed these fonts. With my former installation (TexLive-2003 and a ConText distribution of last autumn) this was possible by using the following lines in the praeambel: \usetypescript[adobekb][texnansi] \usetypescript[postscript][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[postscript,ss,13pt] (In addition, I had to configure pdfTeX by "updmap --setoption pdftexDownloadBase14 false"). After I upgraded to TexLive-2004 this does no longer work! I found that the typescript "adobekb" was replaced by "type-akb". Yet, the encoding "texnansi" seems no longer to be available (Metafont complains that it can not find: texnansi-utmr8a). Changing the encoding to "ec" that still is available yields: \usetypescript[type-akb][ec] \usetypescript[postscript][ec] \setupbodyfont[postscript,ss,13pt] Yet, using these lines in the praeambel results in a document that uses the NimbusSanL-Regu font, that clearly has to be embedded. Does anyone know how the standard PDF fonts can be used while not being embedded? Thanks for your attention, Stefan

hyphenation mess
by Hans Hagen 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

Hi, When generating new minimal trees, i found out that the us patterns are now again in hyphen.tex and the uk patterns also got a new name. It is a that the naming of pattern files is a mess, and that some pattern files are not in the right spot, and things are not improving. The fact that this is solved with the fuzzy aliasses mechanism in web2c does not help, since this is implementation dependent and makes the texmf tree not sharable. I'll try to catch the new names in the next version, and in the meantime start wondering if it makes sense to add consistently names and structured hyphenation files to the context distribution. [similar things are happening with fonts and related enc files; the next release of context [alpha first] will be pure latin modern based and my guess is that it will take a while till lm support migrates into distributions, so i will put a zip with the font files needed alongside the context zip] Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Taco, Thanks so much for the help. Seems MikTex hasnot updated the context package yet. So, I just download the m-bib.zip from your web again with 08/30/04 version. It works again..wow... it is great!

texsync
by Matthew Huggett 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

Hi, A question about the texsync script: running ruby -S texsync.rb --force --list gives me TeXSync | TeXSync | fetching list of trees from 'www.pragma-ade.com' rsync: failed to connect to www.pragma-ade.com: Connection refused (111) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.3/clientserver.c(94) TeXSync | available trees: TeXSync | TeXSync | I've read the texsync manual but I'm not sure what else I have to do with rsync to get a connection to Pragma-ade. I'm running rsync under Cygwin on WinXP. I'd be grateful for any pointers. regards, Matt
