when trying to setup Arial fonts...
by jimarin＠bayesinf.com 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

Hi all, I am trying to setup Arial fonts...I am quite a newbie to this ConTeXt thing... Once Willi told me to use: >Hi Jose > >use > >\usetypescript[helvetica][\defaultencoding] >\setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt] > >Success! > >Willi I have just done \setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt] cause \usetypescript apparently is not recognised in my ConTeXt (previous version to the latest update of these days) what is the use of this \usetypescript thing? is Arial just a nickname for Helvetica sans-serif? cheers !

typo in recent version
by dr. Hans van der Meer 22 Jun '04

22 Jun '04

I found a typo in the recent version (16-06-2004) of ConTeXt. In file type-buy.tex in line 143 one finds: \definefontsynonym f[LucidaSans-DemiItalic] ... The f before the [ is a spurious character and should be removed. Hans van der Meer

reference problem
by dr. Hans van der Meer 22 Jun '04

In the ConTeXt manual (cont-eni.pdf) it says in the chapter on references by way of example: > In this chapter, we can safely use references, without the danger of > clashing with references in other chapters. If we have a figure: > > \placefigure[here][fig:worldmap]{A map of the \TeX\ world}{...} > > In the chapter itself we can refer to this figure with: > > \in {figure} [fig:worldmap] However, if I use this scheme on the following input: > \placefigure[here][fig:exceptionhierarchy]{Sample~exception~hierarchy}% > {\externalfigure[ExceptionHierarchy][scale=800]} > > By way of example, \in{figure}[fig:exceptionhierarchy] shows the > hierarchy for ...

What I am doing wrong? Or has some change in macros taken place? I am using the following version: ConTeXt ver: 2004.6.14 fmt: 2004.6.15 int: english mes: english I would be happy if someone can provide the answer. Hans van der Meer
