page selection with context magnifies
by karl＠freefriends.org 13 May '04

13 May '04

(I believe this is the same bug I reported on December 6, with additional information.) I'm using context (from TL 2003) to select pages. It's apparently actually changing the content, that is, enlarging it! Consider page 2 of the attached covers.pdf. I try to extract it with: texexec --mode=letter --pdfselect --selection=2 --result=bad2.pdf covers.pdf The result is the attached bad2.pdf. If you view at, say, 100% ("fit to page" will eradicate the difference) and compare to the original page 2, the fonts appear larger and everything is moved to the right a bit, as if the page was magnified by some small proportion. The same thing happens with page 4 and with other files I have tried. I tried removing the --mode=letter, it made no difference. Any help appreciated. Although gs can extract pages correctly, it loses the searchable text, while context preserves it, so I'd rather use the latter. :). Thanks, k

reuse of LaTeX code
by Viktor Tron 12 May '04

12 May '04

Dear List users, I just heard about ConTeXt on the lingtex list. I am a rather old and experienced Latex user, and, although rather unsatisfied, I have tons of latex sources for constant reuse. My first questions are Is there any hope that I can painlessly reuse my Latex code in Context? Is there any hope that I can ever use Latex styles (some more complicated macro defs) in Context? Thanks for help.

Hello all! Thanks for all your suggestions. I am capturing screenshots and saving them as .eps images using Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8. I then convert the eps images to PDF using "convertall2pdf"(on the command line) which is the batch file that Ghostscript uses. When I then use context tags \placefigure {test} {\externalfigure[Image1-4][type=pdf,preset=yes]} \blank I still get blank gray boxes in the output. Why does this happen? How do I solve this problem? Does it have anything to do with the bounding box? How do I fix the bounding box? Thanks and regards, -priya

I am sending through the script of "Convertall2pdf". @echo off PATH=%PATH%;c:\gs\gs8.13\lib;c:\gs\gs8.13\bin; for /F %%i in ('dir /b *.eps') do ps2pdf %%i %%i.pdf When I then use context tags \placefigure {test} {\externalfigure[Image1-4][type=pdf,preset=yes]} \blank I still get blank gray boxes in the output.

eps to pdf images
by techw＠siritech.com 11 May '04

11 May '04

Hello all! I had not set the path for the Ghost script correctly. Now that I have set it, the conversion to pdf works like magic! Thanks a lot for the help, special thanks to Mr.Burnus and Mr.Hagen and Mr.Egger for their replies. I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 to convert jpg images to eps. But the images are not very good when converted to pdf. How can I improve the quality of the images? Suggestions please! Thanks and regards, -priya.

bold math
by Adam Lindsay 09 May '04

09 May '04

Hi all. I've revisited the euler support scripts with an eye towards bold math. I think I have it right now. I tried applying the same techniques to computer-modern math in order to get bold math going for the TeX default font, and it seems not to switch back to the right font after a grouped \bfm font switch. The minimum case for this is $x{\bfm x}x$, which gives an italic x, a bold x, and then a roman x. Hans (others with full Lucida math?), what does the test case look like? If you want to try the attached typescript, the following should work well: \definetypeface[mainface][mm][math][euler][euler] \definetypeface[mainface][mm][bfmath][euler][euler] \definetypeface [boldmath][mm][boldmath][euler][euler] \definetypeface [boldmath][mm][bfmath][euler][euler] The following fails on cases like the one I described, but is reasonable otherwise: \definetypeface[mainface][mm][math][computer-modern][computer-modern] \definetypeface[mainface][mm][bfmath][computer-modern][computer-modern] \definetypeface [boldmath][mm][boldmath][computer-modern][computer-modern] \definetypeface [boldmath][mm][bfmath][computer-modern][computer-modern] -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
