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? Steffen P.S. The font used here is "athenian" from http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~pinax/greekkeys/Atheniandownload.html

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

Is there a bug during pagination of external figures?

It seems that Context tries to output the filename of the external figure somewhere during pagination. Yet, the filename is not ment to appear inside the document! Does someone know how to work around this problem? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

et~al. in m-bib
by Peter Münster 19 Aug '04

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/

Context in Portuguese
by Miguel Queiros 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

Hi ! I've been a Latex user for some time and I'm now trying to use Context to typeset some documents in portuguese using portuguese accentuated characters but I can't seem to get it working. Every time I use an accentuated character it simply doesn't shows up in the document. I'v read the docs but haven't found a solution to the problem. Can someone provide me a simple example on how to do it, or the problem I'm facing has to do with some kind of configuration that has to be done in Context ? I'v been trying to use Context using the tex iso available at pragma's website. Thank you, Miguel Queirós

\startenvironment \currentfile
by Peter Münster 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

Hello, isn't it redundant: \startenvironment filename \startproject filename \startproduct filename \startcomponent filename ?? Is this argument really needed? "\startenvironment xxx" seems to works too. Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/

Using ConTeXt through MikTeX
by Shailesh Ashok Shirali 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

Hello, friends, I posted this message some days back to the MikTeX mailing list, but would like to repeat it here. I use MikTeX with the text editor TechnicCenter. I generally work with PDFLaTeX. I have been reading about ConTeXt, which among other things enables the use of Metapost from within the package. (I wish to use Metapost as I need to draw lots of diagrams for Euclidean geometry.) It seems that one can configure MikTeX for ConTeXt. Could any user of ConTeXt suggest how to do the configuring? I am not able to act on the tips given. I have located in "MikTeX Options" the option "cont-uk" (in the Formats tab) and have selected it; but am not sure of the next step. I would be grateful for some advice on this matter. Thanks. Sincerely, Shailesh Shirali
