\enableregime, \setupbodyfont and the amsl module
by Giuseppe Bilotta 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

Hi Hans and all, a user on it.comp.software.tex just noticed a funny interaction between the amsl module and an appropriate choice of fonts and encodings. The following minimal test file shows the problem: \setupbodyfont[ber,pos] \usemodule[nath] \enableregime[il1] \starttext \`e è un'attività \stoptext Notice that accented letters come out like letters with two commas below. The amsl module has to resort to this trick: %D Font Stuff %D %D First of all, we need Fraktur to be loaded correctly, something %D which ConTeXt doesn't do by default (at least by now) %D Can't find a better, faster, cleaner way to do it; %D it should probably be added to ConTeXt default for AMS, anyway \definebodyfont [12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt] [mm] [mc=eufm10 sa 1] \definebodyfont [8pt,7pt,6pt] [mm] [mc=eufm7 sa 1] \definebodyfont [5pt] [mm] [mc=eufm5] %D to make sure they get loaded, we make a font change %D we restore rm afterwards, not having a way to decide which one %D was active (anyway, rm is a pretty safe bet when loading %D a module \dots) \switchtobodyfont[mm] \switchtobodyfont[rm] So I *know* where the problem comes form, but I don't know how to fix this. Can anybody come up with a sensible solution? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Wrapping around footnotes
by William D. Neumann 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

I'm preparing a paper in two column format, and I'm having issues with footnotes in one column affecting the text in the other column because the text in the other column stops at the same spot as the text in the column with the footnote rather than typsetting down to the bottom of the page. For example, I am currently getting: blah, blah, blah1 yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer ------ 1 footnote text here. footnote text here. footnote text here. Instead of this (which I want) blah, blah, blah1 yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer blah, blah, blah yammer, yammer, yammer ------ yammer, yammer, yammer 1 footnote text yammer, yammer, yammer here. footnote yammer, yammer, yammer text here. yammer, yammer, yammer footnote text here. yammer, yammer, yammer How can this be done? I've tried playing with the various setup commands for columns and footnotes, but nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated. William D.

Texutil
by Willi Egger 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

Dear Hans, I am trying to convert a couple of EPS pictures into PDF files. Viewing those figures in gostview shows their content on screen as expected. Unfortunately the conversion with texutil results in some of the files in a rotation of 90 degrees. I tried to tweak texutil.pl with adding a line to the $GSCommandLine $GSCommandLine = "-q " . ... "-dAutoRotatePages=/None " . ... I also tried to put there ... "-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer " . ... But the figures remain rotated. - Do you have a clue how to prevent this? If you edit texutil.pl would you then have also look at the code line 2079: Report ( "PdfFile", "$FileName".".pdf" ) ; instead of Report ( "PdfFile", "$SuppliedFileName" ) ; Kind regards Willi

Hi, I have several equations. But for some of them (lengthy and uninteresting calculations) in the appendix the default fontsize is too big. What is the best way (command) to reduce their size consistently? Tobias

Re: [NTG-context] endnotes: ! Dimension too large. ?? (another problem)
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

A big problem is that the \MyNote notes seem to be not "brakeable" If such a note is half a page long and all the notes are set at the end of the text it happens quite often that there is half a page empty (because the next note is too long). Do you also have a clue for this?
