How to use and not embed the 14 PDF standard 14 fonts?
by Stefan Wachter 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Hi all! 1. Does anyone know how to use the 14 PDF standard fonts (Courier, Helvetica, Times (each in 4 faces), Symbol, and ITC-Zapf) in ConTeXt? 2. Does anyone know how pdfTeX can be instructed not to embed them? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan PS (Background): I am creating lots of small PDF documents where font embedding would create prohibitive large documents.

Re: page setup

Hallo Hans, sorry for bringing back two old topics, but they are still unanswered: 1) Willy Egger firstly pointed on empty page with zero on the bottom-left coner of an additional sheet using arranging command. I have tested with pretty new context (ConTeXt ver: 2004.3.16) and this behevior still survived. Run the next test file and see page 2: %-------------- \setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4] \setuparranging[2TOPSIDE] \starttext \switchtobodyfont[20pt] \dorecurse{2}{Page \recurselevel\page} \stoptext %---------------- 2) It is possible to sort in reverse order? It means the result of next test file was: C B A. % ----- \definesorting[address][addressbook] \setupsorting[address][criterium=all] \address{A} \address{C} \address{B} \placelistofaddressbook %----- Thank you for answers Vit Zyka

Announcement: texutil.c
by Taco Hoekwater 19 Mar '04

19 Mar '04

Hi all, Not sure if any of you consider this useful, but: I have created a C port of the perl script texutil from the ConTeXt distribution. The Makefile supports two different targets: with and without direct linking to the kpathsea path search library (default is standalone). License: GPL version 2 (for the kpathsea version), or the ConTeXt license as defined in mreadme.pdf (for the standalone version) Index key remapping and perl module plugins are not supported (both features are actually unused in the current distribution of ConTeXt). All other differences from the 'standard' texutil are bugs, and even though I give no warranty whatsoever, I would still like to know about those so that I can fix the source. (17 mar 2004, based on texutil.pl 8.2) Downloal is available from http://tex.aanhet.net/context/texutil/texutil.htm Greetings, Taco

mouseover and other advanced knowledge
by Steffen Wolfrum 19 Mar '04

19 Mar '04

Hi Hans, I'm trying to learn more about mouseover and other PDF related ConTeXt features. In an older email you recommended to look at your tug2001 demo (pre-2001.pdf). Is there also the .tex code to be read or is this your companies secret? If so, do you have some other examples to be read (as .tex files)? Thank you, Steffen

by Severin Obertufer 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

hello i have a general question to the use of fonts in context. is that true that i always need a *.tfm and *.pfb file of a font to use it in context?? if i generate some *.tfm (from afm files) with "texfont" context complains about not finding the *.pfb files. when I use texfont *.tfm and *.vf are generated. what are the *.vf files good for?? thanks for an answer. greets severin

A bug in location=hanging ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 12 Mar '04

12 Mar '04

Hi, Please have a look at the example below. "\setuphanging[distance=0cm]" does not seem to have an effect at all. If I set "margin=-0.0001cm" it is almost zero, but if I set "margin=0cm" it jumps an undefined step to the right. Why can't it be zero? Did I forget a "%" at the end of some line? Thank you, Steffen ******* Example: \definelist[MyNoteList] \setuphanging[distance=0cm] \definedescription [WhatANote] [style=bold,margin=-0.0001cm,width=5cm,before=,after={\blank[5pt]},location=hanging] \def\MyNoteList#1#2#3{\startWhatANote{#1}#2\stopWhatANote} \setuplist [MyNoteList] [criterium=text, alternative=command, command=\MyNoteList] \newcounter\MyNotes \long\def\MyNote#1% {\ifhmode\unskip\fi \doglobal\increment\MyNotes\relax \high{\MyNotes}% \expanded{\writetolist[MyNoteList]{\MyNotes}}{#1}} \starttext Text \dorecurse{2}{test \MyNote{Whow, {\it another} note \input tufte }\endgraf} \page Text \placelist[MyNoteList][criterium=text] Text \stoptext
