Zu nennen sind zun\"{a}chst die vier im letzten Viertel des 19. Jahrhunderts geborenen Br\"{u}der, Josef Adolf (1877-1914), Karl (1879-1948), Gustav (1881-1916) und Fritz (1883-1963), die S\"{o}hne von Anton Adolph Schmoll genannt Eisenwerth (1834-1918), einem geb\"{u}rtigen Saarl\"{a}nder, der als versierter Br\"{u}cken- und Wasserbau-Konstrukteur erst in Frankreich, dann in Wien zu Ansehen gelangte. Nachdem der \"{A}lteste, der Ingenieur Josef Adolf, sowie der Zweitj\"{u}ngste, der Architekt Gustav, als Soldaten im Ersten Weltkrieg fielen, hatte sich besonders der Maler, Grafiker und Kunstgewerbler Karl schon fr\"{u}h einen Namen machen k\"{o}nnen, weshalb dieser in Fachkreisen bisher als der bekanntere der Schmoll-Br\"{u}der galt, bedingt auch durch seine Jahrzehnte w\"{a}hrende Lehrt\"{a}tigkeit in der Architektur-Fakult\"{a}t der Technischen Hochschule Stuttgart (1907-1946), der er 1927/29 auch als Rektor (und Jubil\"{a}umsrektor) vorstand.\footnote{Zu Karl SvE. vgl.: Clementine Schack von Wittenau: Karl Schmoll von Eisenwerth. Malerei, Graphik, Glaskunst. Ausstellungskatalog (Gem\"{a}ldegalerie Dachau, Museum K\"{u}nstlerkolonie Darmstadt, Kreismuseum Zons). Stuttgart 1995 (im Folgenden zitiert als: A.Kat. Stuttgart 1995). Wegen der pers\"{o}nlichen Beziehungen KSvE's war die Wanderausstellung au{\sz}erdem im saarl\"{a}ndischen St.Wendel (St\"{a}dtisches Museum) und im Ober\"{o}sterreichischen Landesmuseum Linz zu sehen. Durch diese Monographie, in der auch FSgE. erw\"{a}hnt wird, kam der Gedanke, sich im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit eingehender mit FSgE. zu befassen.} Mit einer zeitlebens geradezu bescheidenen und zur\"{u}ckhaltenden Wesensart stand dagegen der vier Jahre j\"{u}ngere Fritz Schmoll insbesondere w\"{a}hrend seiner fr\"{u}hen Schaffenszeit etwas im Schatten des \"{a}lteren Bruders, der mit seinen weiterreichenden Beziehungen die berufliche Laufbahn des J\"{u}ngeren zu unterst\"{u}tzen suchte. In M\"{u}nchen, das um 1900 im Kunsthandwerk f\"{u}hrend war, engagierte sich Fritz Schmoll im Sinne der hier von Hermann Obrist gegr\"{u}ndeten Debschitz-Schule rasch im Kunstgewerbe des Jugendstils auf nahezu allen Gebieten (Schmuck, metallene Tafelservice und Gebrauchsger\"{a}te verschiedenster Art, Textilien, M\"{o}bel). Daneben begann er mit kleinplastischen Arbeiten. Einen Schwerpunkt im Bereich des Kunstgewerbes stellten jedoch seine vielfach auch ausgef\"{u}hrten M\"{o}belentw\"{u}rfe. Fritz Schmolls bildhauerisches Wirken, das von den kleinplastischen Arbeiten im kunstgewerblichen Bereich (geschnitzte Elfenbeinanh\"{a}nger, Medaillen und Plaketten, fig\"{u}rliche Kleinplastiken, ausgef\"{u}hrt in Holz, Metall und Keramik) zu gr\"{o}{\sz}er dimensionierten Skulpturen und Plastiken gef\"{u}hrt hatte (rundplastische Portr\"{a}ts, figurative und ornamentale Bauplastiken, Brunnen, Denk- und Grabm\"{a}ler) war durch eine religi\"{o}se Haltung mit bestimmt, wie sie sich in vielen sakralen und sepulkralen Auftr\"{a}gen bekundet. Vom ersten Entwurf bis zum letzten Schliff f\"{u}hrte er bei seiner T\"{a}tigkeit f\"{u}r sakrale und memoriale Auftr\"{a}ge im Sinne eines mittelalterlichen Werkmeisters, der anonym schuf, zumeist auch alles eigenh\"{a}ndig aus. Dieser Haltung kam die nach dem Vorbild mittelalterlicher Bauh\"{u}tten anonyme Arbeitsorganisation des Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgr\"{a}berf\"{u}rsorge sehr entgegen, f\"{u}r den Fritz Schmoll seit den drei{\sz}iger Jahren bis kurz vor seinem Tod, 1963, t\"{a}tig war. In der Reihe der {\it Schmoll gen. Eisenwerth} ist au{\sz}erdem der Neffe der vier in Wien geborenen Br\"{u}der zu nennen, der Kunsthistoriker Prof. Dr. J.A.Schmoll gen. Eisenwerth, der im Februar 1915 in Berlin geborene Sohn des im August 1914 gefallenen Dr. Ing. Josef Adolf Schmoll gen. Eisenwerth.\footnote{Vgl. J.A.Schmoll gen.

Arabic-ConTeXt
by Idris S Hamid 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Dear gang, I still have not had time to prepare the new how-to on Arabic and ConTeXt, but I completely forgot that I already wrote one a year ago! Just compile the ConTeXt format with eOmega and read the following: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega-example.html http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega/gamma/ http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega/gamma/README The readme contains detailed instructions. Replace Omega1.15 with e-Omega1.15. Also do the following in your texmf.cnf file before compiling the format: buf_size.context = 200000 % needed for omega bug %extra_mem_bot.context = 4000000 % comment for omega/eomega extra_mem_top.context = 2000000 The second line should be commented as above (otherwise fpTeX will do strange things...) I can't believe I forgot all about this... More info: For global right-to-left use \textdir TRT\pardir TRT\bodydir TRT\pagedir TRT in your preamble. You will need to add a \hoffset=-8cm to compensate for an omega bug in \bodydir. For questions about any of this, please join the aleph mailing list and I'll help as best as I can. The following documentation is incomplete but helpful: http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au:8080/roadmap/doc-1.12.ps http://omega.cse.unsw.edu.au:8080/papers/tsukuba-arabic97.pdf Best Idris

Changes/bugs in the new Context
by Michal Kvasnicka 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Dear Mr. Hagen. I'm sorry I bother you, but I really need a help. Some time ago I uploaded and installed the new version of ConTeXt (ConTeXt ver: 2003.8.21). After that I was not able to compile some of my documents due to changes (bug?) in the new version (the changes may be older). I'd like to ask how should I handle the following two cases in the new version. 1) Changes in colors In some older version I could write things like this: \setupheader[style={\ss\bfb\red}] \setuphead[chapter] [textstyle={\ss\bfc\setupinterlinespace[line=24pt]\red}] \setupinteraction[state=start, style=\red] where \red is a color. Now it makes errors. How should I handle it now? In heads and headers I can use command option and \setupheadertexts respectively. But how sould I set the interactioncolor? (This is the real cause of the problem I have ask the last week -- by my mistake atributed to the content-lists.) 2) Chagnes (bug?) in references Some time ago command \reference[...]{...} expanded the term in the second (curly?) braces before writing to auxiliary files. Now it doesn't. I use this command in my macros like this \reference[#1]{\the\somenumber.\the\anothernumber}} Now the commands \the\somenumber.\the\anothernumber are placed to .tui/.tuo files without expansion. I had to redefine it in the following way: \global\let\OriReference=\reference \gdef\reference[#1]#2{% \edef\MyRefO{#2}% \def\MyRef##1!!{% \OriReference[#1]{##1}% } \expandafter\MyRef\MyRefO!!% } Is it a bug or a feature? How should I use it? Doesn't my solution interfere with the genious ConTeXt macros? Nonetheless I want to thank you very much for providing such a powerful macro package as ConTeXt is to all of us for free. The ConTeXt is really great. Thank you. Thank you very much for your kind help. Your sincerely Michal Kvasnicka

Two questions on \setupinterlinespace
by Steffen Wolfrum 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Hallo, as a former LaTeX-user I am quite confused by \setupinterlinespace. Could you help me with two aspects, please? 1. If I define \setupinterlinespace at the beginning of my document then all "elements" (like bodytext,foonotes, chapter, section etc.) are affected. How can I define the interlinespaces for each individually? 2. I can use \setupinterlinespace[line=13pt] which gives a fixed interlinespace for all "elements" (like bodytext,foonotes or section headings) and I can use \setupinterlinespace[small] or \setupinterlinespace[medium] or \setupinterlinespace[big] which gives different interlinespaces relative to the fontsizes of footnotes, headings, text etc. with factor values from 1 to 1.5 (as it is written in the manual). How can I define other values - like 1.1 or 1.75?? Thank you for any reply, Steffen

clubpenalty/widowpenalty ignored - a bug?
by Steffen Wolfrum 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Worst case became true: After spending lot of time on defining and setting up my first ConTeXt project I had to encounter that there are orphans and widows in my book. What I did: Just before \starttext I wrote \clubpenalty=10000 \widowpenalty=10000 \displaywidowpenalty=10000 Is this wrong - or is it a bug in ConTeXt? Kind of desperately, Steffen

fonts and footnotes
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

Hi! I have a problem with font of footnote-numbers. I will try to describe some details because they can be important. I've defined some sans-serif font with my own styles and sizes: \definefontsynonym[tfMyFont][file_name1] \definefontsynonym[bfMyFont][file_name2] % I don't need neither italics- nor math-style \definebodyfont[13pt,12pt,...,9pt][ss] [tfs=tfMyFont sa 0.75, % let's test alternative for tfxx tf=tfMyFont sa 1, .... bfs=bfMyFont sa 0.75, bf=bfMyFont sa 1, ....] \setupbodyfont[13pt,ss] Then I set styles for heads (chapters, sections etc.). The same for headers and footers. These setups work OK. I have a problem with footnotes though. I tried \setupfootnotes[style=\tfs]; it doesn't work (why?) -- footnotes are set with some ConTeXt-default ss font -- cmss10 -- which is not my beautiful sansserif:-). I also tried setup \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=10pt]; it works good since ten-point font is defined in \definebodyfont.. BUT numbers of footnotes still 'use' default sansserif font. So I tried something like; \setupfootnotes[...,numbercommand=\MyCommand], where \MyCommand set appropriate fontstyle and raise the number as a ^superscript (quite sophisticated way...). Anyway I have still no idea how to setup correct font and style for footnote-numbers. 1. How to setup font-style and -size for footnotes text without giving dimension directly? I mean why I have to set \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=10pt] and I can't set \setupfootnotes[style=\tfxx]? 2. How to setup font-style and -size for BOTH footnote reference (in text) and footnote number (in the bottom of the text area)? Pawe/l

Thank you very much Patrick! May I ask you please for help also for another urgent problem? I still have no idea to setup the linespacing for the different elements like footnote, headings etc. In LaTeX it was quite easy (\fontsize{size_of_font}{linespacing}\selectfont): \renewcommand{\normalsize}{\fontsize{10pt}{13pt}\selectfont} \renewcommand{\footnotesize}{\fontsize{8.5pt}{10pt}\selectfont} \newcommand{\heading_1}{\fontsize{14}{20}\selectfont} \newcommand{\heading_2}{\fontsize{12}{14}\selectfont} But how to write this in ConTeXt (i.e. set up in pt not in ex)?

Status update on e-Omega/Aleph
by Giuseppe Bilotta 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

Hello people, I'd like to inform you on the current status and short-term forecast for e-Omega. The current official release is versioned 3.14159--1.15--2.1 (RC1) and is based on Omega 1.15 and e-TeX 2.1; even though it is just considered a Release Candidate, it's stable enough for production use. In fact, it has already been successfully used to publish in mixed-direction context. There will likely be at least one more release candidate, to solve a couple of direction-related bug, and probably two (the second featuring probably mostly a code clean-up). The e-Omega task force has decided for a name change for the project. From the first stable release onwards, the project (and the resulting program) will be called Aleph ($\Aleph$ in TeX notation). For those who missed the previous announcements, e-Omega (soon Aleph) is a user initiative, effectively started in November 2002, to merge two of the most important TeX extensions (Omega and e-TeX) to ensure that the wonderful enhancements in each would be readily available to users that need both of them. In its present state it was presented at the TUG2003 conference in Hawai`i this july. The focus of Aleph development is and will be: * providing a stable and reasonably fast extension to TeX containing most of the Omega enhancements (support for large fonts, multiple directions and character coding manipulations (OTPs/OCPs); the only unavailable feature is the support for SGML/XML) and many of the e-TeX enhancements (except for the bidirectional ones, surpassed by the more powerful multidirectional capabilities of Omega); * providing a development environment for middle-level users which would not grow obsolete in the short term, henceforth ensuring continued support for already-developed OTPs and similar companion tools; * providing a development environment for modern format developers (ConTeXt, and hopefully in the near future a new LaTeX as well) to support multidirectional typesetting in an easier-to-handle and more powerful programming environment. Both in the right-to-left world and in the CJK world work is already in progress to make sure these points are fully exploited. Thanks also to the excellent (independently developed) dvipdfmx DVI-to-PDF converter, support for the extended features of Omega and e-Omega/Aleph will not come at the cost of losing the option of easy PDF production (yes, we all would like to have PDF production directly integrated like in pdf-TeX, but don't expect that any time soon.) A note about the new name. Among the many reasons for the choice of the name there are: * the origins and purpose of the project: whereas Omega seeks to eventually offer the definitive answer to virtually all the problems of multilingual typesetting, Aleph has a more modest goal: to provide an immediately available and usable step in that direction. Since Aleph is the first letter of both the Arabic and the Hebrew alphabet (both of which need the multidirectional features offered by e-Omega), and as the project was started thanks to the initiative of Idris S. Hamid and Alan Hoenig (who are working on Arabic and Hebrew), choosing such a common name which connotes both "immediate" and "multilingual" was considered an appropriate choice. * also, Aleph is used in mathematics to denote transfinite numbers. This will allow "perverted" autoreferential tricks, like having a countable first stable release of Aleph ($\Aleph_0$); following major releases will be subsequent transfinite numbers ($\Aleph_1$, $\Aleph_2$, etc) and minor improvements/bugfixes will be cardinals ($\Aleph_0+1$, $\Aleph_0+2$, etc) A mailing list, graciously hosted by NTG, the Dutch TeX User Group, is available; its address is aleph at ntg dot nl. Since it is moderated, please subscribe before sending emails to it. Instructions on how to subscribe to the list are available at http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/aleph On behalf of the e-Omega/Aleph task force, I would like to thank Donald Ervin Knuth for giving us TeX; John Plaice, Yannis Haralambous and the rest of the Omega folks for their amazing achievements which gave us such a powerful base on which to build; Peter Breitenlohner and the NTS team for giving us the excellent e-TeX; all the distributions' maintainers for providing easy, integrated, interoperable and up-to-date systems; and everybody in the TeX community, for making it the wonderful environment that it is. My very personal thanks also go to Hans Hagen, Idris Hamid and Alan Hoenig, for convincing me to put my hands in the project, and to the distributions' maintainers, in particular Christian Schenk and Fabrice Popineau, for their essential help and neverending patience in bearing with a 'programmer' victim of his background as a mathematician which takes him to submit patches without testing them "because in theory they should work", and Olaf Weber and Thomas Esser, for making e-Omega/Aleph available under Linux as well.
