Re: [xsl] Telling parser to ignore DTD
by Joerg Heinicke 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

Hello Manny, we don't have a solution for this, we have the same problem. With a doctype-system, which Xalan can't find, Xalan throws an exception. It doesn't validate the XML against the DTD, but it MUST find it. Until now we solved the problem with an empty DTD-file at the place, where the file is searched. If you found a solution or anybody knows one, we would appreciate to get to know it. Regards, Jo

Re: [NTG-context] endnotes: ! Dimension too large. ?? (another attempt)

Hi, still searching for a working solution how to deal with my 757 footnotes I tried to avoid the error by using buffers. But again: ! Dimension too large. Is there really no way of emptying that "cache" - and maybe split it in footnote 1-350 and footnote 351-757?

german sharp s in Metapost Labels
by Lutz Haseloff 12 Jan '04

Hi all, if i use another Font as cmr to typeset labels in MetaPost the german sharp s is typeset with wrong width. The same text direct typeset by tex (pdfetex) without MetaPost looks right. Is this a bug in tex or in metapost (i dont believe) or is it a font problem?

Mac Way: Apple Symbols
by Adam Lindsay 11 Jan '04

11 Jan '04

Hi again. The Mac-specific followup to the Unicode Symbols My Way is now up on my site. http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/ This Mac-specific My Way documents some fonts available exclusively on MacOSX 10.3, "Panther," and makes them available to Mac users with fairly minimal installation effort. I do not distribute the fonts themselves. These include Mac-specific support files for the below Unicode Symbols package. It depends on Mac fonts, but might be interesting to other folks. If anyone finds this useful or interesting, I could use some help completing the naming of the other symbols. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

For the MetaFun Experts, Section 9.2 of the MetaFun manual gives vlogtext.bot(0, 10, 9, 10cm, "@3e") ; The formating of the numbers is controlled by "@3e". I have been trying to find the command which control this number formating without success. Please could somebody point me in the right direction. TIA Nigel King

unicode and out-of-box usability
by Adam Lindsay 11 Jan '04

11 Jan '04

Hi, folks, I've been struggling through, trying to learn Unicode in ConTeXt. It's been instructive, at least. (Hope to make a MyWay about it...) There are a few weird things that made it difficult to learn, and I was wondering if someone could help explain why things are the way they are. In unic-ini: \chardef\utfunihashmode=0 % 1 = enabled Actually, if I understand things correctly, '1' means "disabled", which is what I preferred, having not yet created any unicode vectors. So the internal documentation there seems wrong, and I would argue the default case (0) makes it harder for beginners. More confusingly, in font-uni: \def\enableunicodefont#1% {\definefontsynonym[\s!Unicode][\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!file}]% \def\unicodescale {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!schaal}}% \def\unicodeheight {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!hoogte}}% \def\unicodedepth {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!diepte}}% \def\unicodedigits {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!conversie}}% \def\handleunicodeglyph {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!commando}}% %%%%%%%%%%% NEXT LINE \enableregime[unicode]% the following \relax's are realy needed \doifvalue{\??uc#1\c!interlinie}\v!ja\setupinterlinespace\relax \getvalue{\??uc#1\c!commandos}\relax} The \enableregime[unicode] runs in direct opposition with the \enableregime[utf] that normally goes at the start of (some of my) documents. As it stands, with the regime hard-coded, users have to put an \enableregime[utf] *after* the font declaration. That's awkward. The last proposed change/complaint is back in unic-ini, and came from my attempts to match the main body font with the unicode font. \def\utfunifontglyph#1% {\xdef\unidiv{\number\utfdiv{#1}}% \xdef\unimod{\number\utfmod{#1}}% \ifnum#1<\utf@i %%%% \unicodeasciicharacter\unimod \char\unimod % \unicodeascii\unimod \else\ifcsname\@@univector\unidiv\endcsname \csname\doutfunihash{\unidiv}{#1}\endcsname \else % so, these can be different fonts ! \unicodeglyph\unidiv\unimod % no \uchar (yet) \fi\fi} Basically, I'd like to use the \unicodeasciicharacter hook with this definition: \def\unicodeasciicharacter{\uchar{0}} (I'm not certain the above is release-quality code, but I've been testing it with a stripped down \utfunifontglyph that should be functionally equivalent.) Working with the unicode code makes me appreciate that it's really powerful part of ConTeXt.

Hi, when using \setupfootnotes[way=bychapter,location={text,none}] I get the following ERROR: <snip> !

I was trying to find whether there is something missing when I just continue, and I found the TableOfContent is cut. But the text and the footnotes as well seem to be OK. Is there a patch helping me to avoid this error? Thank you, Steffen

bold small caps
by Peter Münster 09 Jan '04

09 Jan '04

Hello, I just tried the Latin Modern font, but there are no bold small caps available, as in the EC fonts. Is it possible to add EC support to ConTeXt? TIA for any hint, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ ------------------------------------ Film Search site: http://f-s.sf.net/
