bTABLE rogue column widths
by Duncan Hothersall 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Hi all. I have the following code, used to set quotations with over-large quote marks either side. I use the bTABLE/eTABLE model because it is easy, and because it allows for the variable width of the quotation part (the middle column) and for it to carry over into multiple lines. When this code is run, the first one works as expected (the cell containing the quote is the width of the quote text). The second one produces a quote cell which expands so that the table fills the whole width of the page, even though the quote text itself is thinner than the previous one. I have left the lines in the table to show the problem. This runs on live.contextgarden.net and shows the same behaviour. Any thoughts on how to fix it to make the second one work like the first? Thanks.

Movie as externalfigure
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Hi all, probably I'm missing something trivial, but I can't make context include a mov-file. Here is my input: \starttext \externalfigure[mdmovie.mov] [label=md,width=4cm,height=4cm,preview=yes] \stoptext I don't get a movie in the pdf resulting from `texexec --pdf`, only this message seems to be a hint: figures : figure mdmovie.mov is not preset I found this problem in the archive; it was solved by specifying height and width. But I did already specify both height and width, so what's the problem? The movie is located in the same directory as the tex-file, so it has to be found, too. (And I guess 'preset' is not a typo anyway, is it?) I couldn't find anything helpful in the docs or the wiki, either. My version is the latest beta: pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10a-RC3-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.3) ConTeXt ver: 2004.8.18 fmt: 2004.9.16 int: english mes: english Thanks in advance, Eckhart

Re: [NTG-context] what fonts I have in my systems?
by ciro 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Thank you to Tobias Hilbricht for the script. It is exactly what I was looking for. I notice that the command "testfont" is not a command with the backslash "\" Is there any way to create one single file with a \sample page for each font installed in my computer? Ciro =================================================== Dear Ciro, I used the following shell skript, which was one and a half years ago on http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/fonts/fonts.phtml fontdemo.sh ------------- find `kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'`/fonts/tfm -name '*.tfm' -print | \ sed 's@.*/@@; s@\.tfm$@@' | \ xargs sh -c 'for i in "$@"; do (echo $i; echo \\\sample\\\bye) | \ tex testfont; mv testfont.dvi $i.dvi; echo $i.dvi; done' sh ------------- It gives you one dvi-file per installed font in your TeX-System - that is usually a lot. Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht

This is how i proceed: \starttext \startstandardmakeup .. \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext Thanks. Dirar. P.S. Is there anyway to answer the messages on this archive without replying to the corresponding received mail? I would like to update a previous post but can't manage to do it.*/

>===== Original Message From <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> ===== <snip> \donothing \dodoappendtoks > >l.188 \to \everyresetspecials 2 possibilities a. Your ConTeXt format is not consistent. Delete your ConTeXt install (ok this might not be necessary), make sure you don't have two Contexts (e.g. one in texmf and another in texmf-var), reinstall the latest ConTeXt, refresh the fndb BEFORE you generate the formats, regenerate the formats, and it should work. b. Also, are you sure that you are running aleph in extended mode? Giuseppe, is extended mode the default for aleph or does it have to be explicitly invoked? If Aleph is running in extended mode, and if every ConTeXt file is in the fndb, then it really should work... Idris

As I am still looking for arbitrary footnote placement, do you can tell where this wonderful information is available? Thank you, Steffen

Then I immediately deleted the files in texmf/tex/context/base/ and texmf/metapost/context/base/ . Now I also deleted the texmf/.../texexec.ini file and reinstalled context again (texmf-local tree) Hashed the ls-r, rebuild the formats and tried it again. Still the same error logs. Maybe there are still some leftovers from TeXLives ConTeXt interfering? What is the right way to "get rid of it (minus texexec.exe)"? When I install ConTeXt in a local tree do I have to delete more ConTeXt files in the main tree? Thank you, Steffen

\dh in ConTeXt
by Charles Doherty 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Dear all, Using the following input in LaTeX I could get the output below. But try as I might I cannot achieve this in ConTeXt. \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{palatino} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} My input for ConTeXt is: \enableregime[mac] \usetypescriptfile [adobekb] \setupencoding [default=ec] \usetypescript [adobekb] [\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \starttext Howth {\em H\k{o}f\dh i} / {\em H\k{o}f\dh a}, ... Output from the console says that \dh is an undefined control sequence. This and similar commands are mentioned in Kopka and Daly: A guide to LaTeX2e p. 423. In LaTeX using \dh \DH \th \TH I get the result below. But the \ng \NG produce the black rule. I would be happy if just the \dh worked. I note that the encoding in LaTeX is T1. In Hans's Fonts in ConTeXt p. 17 this seems to be the equivalent to 8r. I tried this but with no success. I would be most grateful if anyone can help. I use a Mac OSX 1.3.5. My TeX installation is throught Gerben's installer.
