Sorry Hans, the show can't be started because "fifteen.pdf" can't be found. Where is it?

mouseover ... (again)
by Steffen Wolfrum 26 Mar '04

26 Mar '04

Hi Hans, Patrick et al. I really would like to learn about mouseover and other PDF related ConTeXt features (probably JavaScript related). In an older email Hans told Patrick that he'll send him a nondocumented example file - so does this mean that there are no other example files available? Please, if some of you could give me some readable read (as .tex files) examples on how how to work with buttons, mouseovers and other interactive PDF elements like this, I would be very happy! Thank you very much, Steffen

Re: Romanian diacritics

Hi Not necesarly. But I've spotted that in that pdf, the Romanian diacritics were typesetted correct! I was wonderring if you did something special. The definition I use is: \def\commaaccent#1{\oalign{#1\crcr\hidewidth,\hidewidth}} But I cannot be sure if it is OK. Sincerely, Dan SERACU Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.

playground for germans

Hi, As some of you may have noticed ... the latin modern fonts have umlauts. I added a few files to the context zip, so that those who want to see the difference can play with it. Just (un)comment the first line in: \usetypescript [var] [latin-modern] % supported for texnansi and ec \usetypescript [all] [latin-modern] [\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[modern][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext \"e\"u\"o\"a \stoptext technically one can also mix things but i leave that for the moment that lm has replaced cm. (first need to sort that out with plr) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE/POD/CTS Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Romanian diacritics
by Dan Seracu 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Hello again! (after quite some time) I've recently downloaded the special-s.pdf and there is an example in Romanian. Now the question: How did you do the \c{t} and the \c{s} there to use the comma and not the cedilla? Because in the "standard" romanian (old typesetting way) these letter used to have comma and not cedilla (like now when using M$ Word) Greetings from Romania Dan SERACU __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

6 ways to ask for Times-Roman. Are they the same?
by Stefan Wachter 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Hi all. Studying the pdftex.map file I found the following 6 TeX fonts that are used for Times-Roman: ptmr8y, ptmr8r, rptmr, rtxptmr, tir and tmrm108r. In the "no download" version of the map file, all these TeX fonts are mapped into Times-Roman. In the "download" the font utmr8a.pfb is embedded for them. Are they the same? Is there a preferrable one? What role does the encoding play here? Many thanks for your attention, --Stefan PS (Background): I try to write a type script for using the 14 base PDF fonts.

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
by Vit Zyka 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

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
