Question on \setupencoding[default=ec]
by Steffen Wolfrum 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

Hallo, I have re-read the mailings in the archive concerning proper hyphenation and I saw that it is a known problem to have hyphenation in words containing cedilla, accent or umlaut. As it is solved in LaTeX with the [T1]{fontenc} package some people wrote that in ConTeXt the equivalent should be: \setupencoding[default=ec] But that's not true (at least for german Umlaute). A ConTeXt example: \language[de] \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[mac] \setupencoding[default=ec] \starttext \showhyphens{alter} \showhyphens{früher} \stoptext doesn't recognize früher (frü-her): Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 8--8 [] /cmr10/al-ter Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 10--10 [] /cmr10/fr^^?uher (the whole log see below) While a LaTeX example \documentclass{book} \usepackage{german} \usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \begin{document} \showhyphens{alter} \showhyphens{früher} \end{document} brings the right hyphenation (frü-her) Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 8--8 [] /ecrm1000/al-ter Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 10--10 [] /ecrm1000/fr¸-her (the whole log see below) Don't ConTeXt and LaTeX use both the same hyphenation patterns? So what must be done in ConTeXt that it also works?

Preventing hyphenation?
by Mari Voipio 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

I know this has been on the list earlier, but I don't seem to be able to parse the old messages enough to implement anything... My current (urgent) project has a bunch of words/codes with a hyphen: K-Patents PR-23-XX etc. These should not get a line break at the hyphen, i.e. not K- Patents but K-Patents or K-Pa-tents. As far as I understand it, the beginner's manual and the full manual only talk about how to tell ConTeXt where the proper hyphenation points are, but not, how to prevent hyphenation altogether. The trick can be awkward to type, as there's a limited number of problem codes, so I can use the synonym mechanism, if necessary. Any ideas? In the end of project frenzy, Mari

Greek font
by Thomas A.Schmitz 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

Please excuse this long post. I was/am fiddling with fonts, "probably the most complicated aspect of TeX," to quote Hans... I feel I'm almost there, but I still need some help and would be very grateful if anybody could give me a hint. Thanks to Giuseppe Bilotta's help, I managed to typeset classical Greek with the CB-Greek fonts. Everything works, the accents are in the right places etc., yet the original CB-Greek doesn't look very good in pdfs. I have a very beautiful Greek font that comes with the LaTeX "psgreek"-package; it works in LaTeX and is, according to the manual, encoded with the same map as CB-Greek (in LaTeX, the encoding is called lgrenc.def, but I couldn't find any useful imformation in that file). I wrote a typescriptfile to use it in ConTeXt. The font works, all the glyphs are there, as I can see with a \showfont, but they're not in the right slots, which means that it doesn't build the correct ligatures for displaying accents etc. I assume I need to write a new encoding file to reassign the glyphs to their new position. I'd be willing to do this by hand (there aren't too many of them, after all), but how do I go about that? What I have got about this font (it's called "GreekOxonia," and in my eyes, it's the most beautiful typeface that's out there for classical Greek): greeoxon.pfb greeoxon.sfd greeoxon.sfd~ greeoxon.afm greeoxon.tfm a map file psgreek.map and a couple of accompanying .vf, .ovf and .ofm-files (all of them containing just a few characters of gibberish when I try to open them). Can anybody give me a hint where I could start? Any help would be most appreciated! Best Thomas

finding external figures
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

Hello! I'm afraid the answer wiil be 'no' but... I've just tested two, let say 'normal', ways of including external figures: -- settings in texmf.cnf (that is obvious) -- relative path in \useexternalfigure (that is obvious only for ConTeXt users :-) Is there any way to use absolute path for external figure in ConTeXt code? Is there any way to use environment variable in ConTeXt code? Regards, Paweł

Pagenumber & Footnotenumber -> inmargin
by Steffen Wolfrum 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

Hi, ConTeXt seems to have two different interpretations of "inmargin: \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={header,inmargin}] isn't the same as \setupfootnotedefinition[location=inmargin] How can I place the footnote's number into the margin the same way as the pagenumber is? (I mean to place both numbers above/under each other on even pages) Thank you, Steffen

Footnote's gap
by Steffen Wolfrum 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

Sorry, I've just asked to fast. Today I have found the \definedescription section ;-) Everything works fine now. Steffen After playing with the various options of \setupfootnotes I still wonder how to set up the gap between the footnote's number and the actual footnote text? And: Does the number has to be outside the textwidth? Somebody knows? Thank you Steffen

Bold and SemiBold
by Steffen Wolfrum 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

I am using the AGaramond font - including both bold AND semibold typefaces. Is there an easy command, or an other easy way, to address both in my document - like \bf and \sb (LaTeX)? Thank you Steffen

texfont batch mode: looks for texfont.pl instead of $0
by Christopher Creutzig 07 Sep '03

07 Sep '03

Hans, texfont type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --fontroot /Users/ccr/Library/texmf/ fails with Can't open perl script "/Users/ccr/bin/texfont.pl": No such file or directory batch line : --en=texnansi --ve=public --co=antt --so=auto etc. Now, /Users/ccr/bin/texfont is a symbolic link to texfont.pl in the installation, so this can't work. The problem is here: my $own_path = "$FindBin::Bin/" ; $FindBin::RealScript =~ m/([^\.]*)(\.pl|\.bat|\.exe|)/io ; Either use $FindBin::RealBin in the first line or use $FindBin::Script in the second line. Mixing the tweo breaks as soon as symbolic links are involved that change the suffix. regards, Christopher Creutzig
