Sure, THIS one works. But what I was asking for was how to change the font for all the english text (all the non-greek)? My attempt was to start the document with: \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] \usetypescript[AGaramondOldStyle] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.2pt] (... and then continue as you have pasted below) But this gives the error I had sent. I hope the problem is clearer now. Can you help to find a solution?

... actually it's the last line causing the problem: \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] \usetypescript[AGaramondOldStyle] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.2pt] % <- Is there an other way to define a normal bodyfont plus using the greek module? Steffen

If I change \def\typescriptfiles{type-agaramond.tex} to \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] I get the error log you can see below.

Ancient Greek (bodyfont conflict?)
by Steffen Wolfrum 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

Hi, In "s-grk-00.tex" is defined "\switchtobodyfont[cbgreek]". So why doesn't it work to define a body font for the normal AND use this module for switching to greek? Steffen P.S. Please have a look at this wellknown example. With the first four lines added the greek parts get empty: \def\typescriptfiles{type-agaramond.tex} \usetypescript[AGaramondOldStyle] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.2pt] % The following sample file was submitted to the \CONTEXT\ % mailing list by Giuseppe Bilotta, along with the right % typescripts. \usemodule[greek] \mainlanguage[english] \starttext We can easily use plain English for normal text, and then switch to greek when we want; as a first try we type the lower and upper case 26 letters of the latin alphabet and see how they come out in greek: \startgreek a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z \par A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z \stopgreek As it can be observed, some uppercase letters have strange outcomes; also, j gives \greek{j} and c gives the end-of-word sigma \greek{c}; interestingly, s gives either the normal sigma or the end-of-word one, depending on whether it's at the end of the word or not: \greek{satrapws}. Of course we can use the various diacritical signs: accents (\greek{`a, 'a, ~a}), breathings (\greek{<r, >w, a"}) and subscribed iotas (\greek{a|, h|, w|}) (these last are pretty ugly in my opinion); observe how they automatically get the correct position with uppercase letters: (\greek{`A, 'A, ~A, <A, >A, A|}). Can the thing be used for serious work? \startgreek >>'Andra moi >'ennepe, Mo~usa, pol'utropon, >'os m'ala poll`a\hfill\break pl'agqjh, >epe`i Tro'ihs <er`on ptol'iejron >'eperse;\hfill\break poll~wn d" >anjr'wpwn >'iden >'astea ka`i n'oon >'egnw,\hfill\break poll`a d" <'o g" >en p'ontw| p'ajen >'algea <`on kat`a jum'on,\hfill\break >>arn'umenos <'hn te yuq`hn ka`i n'oston <eta'irwn. \stopgreek \stoptext

\defineitemgroup is, excuse my rage, fucking messed up.

I've just wasted two hours trying to figure it out, and I'm a bit tired of it. Update (1 minute after finishing above): ARGH! Just realized it now. I'm so stupid for not figuring this out sooner.

alpha version low level english
by Hans Hagen 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Hi, I uploaded the upcoming release, http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/alpha This version is low level english (commands, keywords, values). It is possible that some functionality is not working, but as far as i can see most should work as expected. If you find low level dutch in the source code, (1) if it is dramatic, let me know asap, (2) if it's just an indirect command, collect them first. For Taco: you need to adapt your m-* modules! (I'll send you a script that will make it a bit more comfortable, but some manual work may be needed).

verbatim pseudo-code
by Nikolai Weibull 01 Sep '04

I would like to create a verbatim environment for writing pseudo-code in. Anyone have any suggestions/hints on how to go about it. I've looked at verb-*.tex, but they don't enlighten much. I basically want simple stuff like pseudo-code you'd find in one of Knuth's books or anything by Aho, Sethi, Hopcrof, and/or Ullman and those kinds of books. 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);}

Re: Footnotes in margin? (HELP!)
by Steffen Wolfrum 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Maybe the wrong height is calculated? When we have the normal situation footnote per page, the space available is spilt for text and footnotes. In our margin construction now it seems to be still the same. When we would use the footnotes as endnotes, TeX would calculated the text per page for the entire height. So is it possible to define the space that is available per page (for text + footnote) as a combination of the normal height plus the space in the margin? I don't have an idea how to code this in plain TeX (or whatever language is used for ConTeXt), but maybe someone else knows?
