merging pdf (repost)
by scarso luigi 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Hello, I use this code to merge file1.pdf, file2.pdf, file3.pdf in file4.pdf % format=english \definepapersize[A3large][width=320mm,height=450mm,offset=0pt] \setuppapersize[A3,landscape][A3large,landscape] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt,marking=on, height=middle,width=middle,location=middle, topspace=0pt, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \starttext'; \insertpages[file1.pdf][width=0pt] \insertpages[file2.pdf][width=0pt] \insertpages[file3.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext where file1 is 481 031 bytes file2 is 1 277 167 bytes and file3 is 43 574 bytes. I expected ~2 Mbytes for file4.pdf but file4 is 10 601 693 bytes, ie ~five times the size expected. Why ? Thanks in advance luigi PS. I have a context distribution that is 1 year old, but i can't actually upgrade it (well, if I must do it, I will do !)

new version
by Hans Hagen 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi, Since it's tex live freezing time, I uploaded a new version. There ar enot that many changes (i moved a few things from cont-new/cont-loc to the core modules [cont-loc is my personal optimized code / new thingies file]). I also added type-akb (patricks adobekb) file to the distribution since we need it to get those free fonts working in tetex and derived systems (tex live is normally a bit more complete with regards to metrics). Be careful in using this typescipts: the metrics may not match the fonts and i dislike the idea of ps metric names and urw fots; Personally i always use the urw metrics and fonts and *always* embed them. I'll post a zip with additional font metrics later. To texexec, i added some cleverness to run xml files and i will add some morelater. Also, from now on (in order to avoid too many mails of users who forget to run mktexlsr) i now run mktexlsr before generating formats. [i hope that i got the miktex alternative well, i'll install miktex in a virtual machine later].

new system modes
by Hans Hagen 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi, The next version will have a new system mode, which can be used in conditional processing: \startmode[*first] ... \stopmode this mode is true in the first run and can be used like: \startmode[*first] \executesystemcommand{dowhatever test.tex x-test.tex} \stopmode \typefile{x-test.tex} an example of a preprocessor run, which only needs to be done once; this can be handy when one needs to preprocess to be included files.

Where's the pound (�) sign gone?
by Mark Ainsworth 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Well after much playing with font settings I am still confused. Can anyone out there help. If I use: \setupoutput[pdftex] \usetypescript[berry][ec] \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[modern,10pt] \starttext Where has the pound $\pound$ sign gone \stoptext Then the output doesn't contain any sign. If I then use: \setupoutput[pdftex] \usetypescript[berry] \usetypescript[modern] \setupbodyfont[modern,10pt] \starttext Where has the pound $\pound$ sign gone \stoptext I end up with a dollar ($) sign. So how can I get the good old British pound sign. (No I don't want to convert to Euros!) On another track, is there any way of getting pdftex to use the pfb concrete fonts, rather than the bitmap versions without a major hack of my map files? Has someone written a simple little routine to do the patching automatically. They print out ok, but the on-screen versions are really naff.

Problems with m-bibtex
by Tobias Burnus 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi, I've two problems with m-bib: a) I want to have the cites numbered by occurrence like this [1], [2], etc. I managed to get 1, 2, 3 etc. in the reference list but in the text I get [23], [5] etc. where this number is the number of occurrence in the .bib file. I used: \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setuppublications[numbering=yes,refcommand=num] %,refcommand=number] b) I'm using \cite[reference1, reference2] but I get only [23], i.e. one reference shown in the text. In the reference list they appear both. Tobias
