I'd like to use the paladino font from urw as my body font (Its the one used in the MetaFUN manual). I tried setting: \setupbodyfont[pos,12pt] but it does not work. What is the name that I should use?

ConTeXt differences
by Taco Hoekwater 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

Hi, The past week has seen two major updates of the context distribution on the pragma-ade web site. As I have done in the past, I have created a fairly detailed list of the changes between these and the previous (2004.06.30) version. Short summary: Context 2004.8.15 --------------------- uploaded on August 18, 2004. * texexec is now version 4.4, which adds "-engine" support for the upcoming texlive changes, and adds direct support for dvipdfm and dvipdfmx * the 'visual' module is now included in the distro * multitone color support * the LaTex .sty files now are true packages, including a version date (2004/07/30) * various DIN papersizes adjusted and a few new ones added * many many more minor changes Context 2004.7.12 -------------------- uploaded on August 16, 2004. * The low-level marking and page numbering macro names are converted to english. * The are a number of preliminary changes for XSL-FO support * \framed now supports the "orientation" keyword. The detailed stuff is available from the wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes -- groeten, Taco

Page break after a section :-(
by skhilji＠tampabay.rr.com 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

I have some text that looks like: \section{Flight Controls Model} \startitemize[1] \item The Flight Controls model.... ... ... \stopitemize ConTeXt has decided to put a page break right after the \section, so my itemized list begins on the next page. I thought \sections were supposed to be setup with infinite penalty between the section title and the first line of the section text itself. I don't want to put a directive in there myself to avoid a page break

a footnote bug?
by Steffen Wolfrum 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

Hi, when setting the \setupfootnotedefinition with location=margin, or location=inleft there is always a little distance between footnote number and footnote text. Neither width nor distance can affect it. Does this distance cannot be adjusted? Thank you, Steffen Wolfrum

how would i define a frame with the typing environment embedded. the way i thought to solve it does *not* work (of course) \def\startTTinput% {\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8] \starttyping } \def\stopTTinput% {\stoptyping\stopframedtext} or do i have to look for a solution in a different direction? thanks! % f

ConTeXt and Aleph
by Steffen Wolfrum 17 Aug '04

17 Aug '04

Hi, ever so often I read mails by Giuseppe or Idris on Aleph. Now I also saw that there is a context-manual on aleph. Does this mean I can use the examples mentions there under ConTeXt? Running an alephtest.tex file ... \start \textdir TLT\relax \setups[ward] \start \textdir BLB\relax \red \setups[ward] \stop \setups[ward] \stop ... tells me that "\textdir" is an "Undefined control sequence" What is missing? When I installed ConTeXt I executed the following command lines: mv /Users/steffen/Desktop/cont-tmf.zip /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local rm tex/context/base/* rm metapost/context/base/* unzip -a -L -o cont-tmf.zip cp /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/config/texexec.rme /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/config/texexec.ini cp /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex sudo mktexlsr sudo fmtutil --all sudo texhash Do I have to add/change something in order to use ConTeXt and aleph? As you see I don't know where to start. Apologies if even my question are wrong! Thank you, Steffen Wolfrum (I am running the latest contextbeta under MacOS X)
