But, as I work with MacOS(X) I fear I have to find a solution that will work for pdfetex. Could someone help me? Steffen

Ancient Greek

Hi, I am about to edit a book with quotes in ancient (polyphonic) greek. How can this be done in ConTeXt? Searching for answers I found the long and painful thread started by Thomas A. Schmitz almost one year ago. Do we have an easier way available today? Steffen Wolfrum

Hi Hans, I'm very sorry - maybe i'm blind today - but I can't see any change. What does "headcommand=\llap" actually mean? I tried with various parameter, but again no effect. Could you give a small example please?

I just made a frame around the footnote number so you'll can clearly see the gap: \def\myFNnumber#1{\inframed[width=\leftmarginwidth,offset=.0em,frame=on,align=left]{#1}} \setupfootnotedefinition[command=\myFNnumber,location=inleft] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={header,right}] \showframe \showgrid \starttext test\footnote{first note} \page testest\footnote{second note} \stoptext Steffen

Sure, but it doesn't have any effect on my file: \def\typescriptfiles{type-athenian.tex} \usetypescript[AthenianGreek] \setupencoding[default=8r] \mainlanguage[de] \setupbodyfont[AthenianGreek,20pt] \enableregime[utf8] \starttext ± [greek text in UTF-8 characters] \stoptext Maybe Hans can help?

Re: [NTG-context] How to use PostScript font

None of the commands that I was told worked. I donT think its my installation. To my surprise, the following does not work at live.contextgarden.net. If you see the log file, it says that the TFM file not found. Even the server at contextgarden is missing the package that I am missing from my system \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \setupbodyfont[pos] \starttext The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. \stoptext

Typing in Polytonic Greek
by Steffen Wolfrum 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

Hi, I have a font for Polytonic Greek ("athenian") installed in my ConTeXt-set and save my tex-files with utf-8 encoding (in TeXShop). Now I want to typeset a text (latin characters) with quotes in Polytonic Greek. Work is much easier for me if I will type these qoutes directly in Polytonic Greek (therefore I have a special keyboard layout from "GreekKeys"). What should I write in my tex document so that ConTeXt understands the UTF-8 glyphs that I am typing with Polytonic Greek? Steffen Wolfrum

et~al. in m-bib

Dear Taco, a kind of feature request for the next release: "et al." is not language dependant, but nevertheless it would be nice (at least for the thesis of my brother), if this string wouldn't be hard-coded (just a macro as \bibetalname or similar). Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/
