combine two features in \setuphead[][]
by Helmut Schwertner 08 Jun '03

08 Jun '03

Hello, if I use the \setuphead[][] command like this way \definehead [section] [section] \setuphead [section] [alternative=inmargin, numberstyle=bold, textstyle=bold] I can use features how > normal, bold, slanted < and so on. What is to do, if I want to combine two features e.g. bold _and_ 18pt (Fontsize)? Thanks and best wishes, Helmut

ColorBrewer palettes
by Johannes Hüsing 08 Jun '03

08 Jun '03

Hi all, I have adapted the colour palettes suggested in http://www.colorbrewer.org for ConTeXt, see http://www.panix.com/~derwisch/hannes/tex/brewercomp.pdf and http://www.panix.com/~derwisch/hannes/tex/colo-brw.tex. As can be seen from the document, I still have font def problems. Without the redefinition of the monospace font, I keep getting a "Font ectt1000 at size 645 not found".

There are mappings of postscript (pfb) files to symbolic names only. Who can point me to the documentation about this? Wolfgang

missing tfm fonts
by Johannes Hüsing 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

In type-enc.tex there is mentioning of "existing tfm and vf files we provide", such as ec-upl*.*. Are these really needed, and how do I obtain them? My Palatino metric files have names like uplr8t.tfm. Greetings Johannes -- Johannes Hüsing There is something fascinating about science.

\setuphead and define global fonts of headers
by Helmut Schwertner 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Hello, above \starttext I have define the bodyfont to \setupbodyfont[11pt]. It works fine. The headings I define in the following way (also above \starttext): \setuphead[chapter][alternative=inmargin,letter={\switchtobodyfont[16pt,ss]\ bf}] \setuphead[section][alternative=inmargin,letter={\switchtobodyfont[14pt,ss]\ bf}] \setuphead[subsection][alternative=inmargin,letter={\switchtobodyfont[12pt,s s]\bf}] When I use <<texexec --pdf myfile>> I get many messages that means: it would be better to define the bodyfont global. How can I do that? Thanks and best wishes, Helmut******************************************************************** Helmut Schwertner Schülperbaum 4 24103 Kiel phone: 0431 58 78 502 eMail: schwertner(a)t-online.de

Right-aligning blocks of text
by Andrew Lawson 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Gents I'm a newbie with Tex and ConTeXt but enjoying myself so far. Everything is working very smoothly except for one single issue; I want to right-align a block of text, e.g. have the text left-aligned but the block right aligned. An ascii example would be; | | | Some text | | More text | | Even more text | I've tried various context structures .. frames etc and I've also tried \hboxes and \vboxes but the best I can do is to specify the distance between the text and the right margin. I want something that will stretch to keep all the text on the page with just the longest line hitting touching the right margin. I need this 'box' to contain several paragraphs. I expect that there is a Plain TeX solution but I'm hoping there will be an even easier ConTeXt solution. thanks Andrew ===== Andrew Lawson andrew(a)absentis.com www.absentis.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
