Hallo! I use the following test-file --------------------test.tex------------------------- \usetypescriptfile [type-bunt] \usetypescript [Bunt] \setupbodyfont [Bunt] \starttext \chapter{Test} {\cg Gottes.} \stoptext --------------------------------------------------------- and this typescript ------------------type-bunt.tex-------------------- \starttypescript [calligraphy] [bunt] [name] \definefontsynonym [calligraphy] [bu1000] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [calligraphy] [bunt] [size] \definebodyfont [5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt] [cg] [tf=bu0900 sa 1] \definebodyfont [9pt] [cg] [tf=bu0900] \definebodyfont [10pt] [cg] [tf=bu1000] \definebodyfont [10.95pt] [cg] [tf=bu1095] \definebodyfont [12pt] [cg] [tf=bu1200] \definebodyfont [14.4pt] [cg] [tf=bu1440] \definebodyfont [17.28pt] [cg] [tf=bu1728] % \definebodyfont [20.7pt] [cg] % [tf=bu2074] \definebodyfont [20.74pt] [cg] [tf=bu2074] \definebodyfont [24.88pt] [cg] [tf=bu2488] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Bunt] \definetypeface [Bunt] [cg] [calligraphy] [bunt] [bunt] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript --------------------------------------------------------- to use a metafont which was designed in the 8 sizes (9,10,10.95,12,14.4,17.28,20.74 and 24.88pt) Fontsizes lower then 9pt should downscaled useing the 9pt font. (not testet yet!) Problems: 1. The bodyfont is 12pt per default, so pdftex uses bu1200.tfm to calculate the text. The chaptertitle is then in 20.74pt, but pdftex doesn't use the existing font bu2074.tfm, but scales the bodyfont by a factor of 1.728. As a result, mktexpk calculates the pk files bu1200.600pk and bu1200.1037pk, and not bu1200.600pk and bu2074.600pk. I tried to include the commentet two lines in the typescript, because I always found written sizes in context with one digit behind the point, but the result is negativ too. 2. The log-file contains the following: > ) (./type-bunt.tex) > fonts : [calligraphy] [bunt] [name,default,ec,special] My typescript neighter contains a section [ec] nor a section [special]. What are they for? Why are they referenced in the log. > ) (./type-bunt.tex > bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global) > bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global) > bodyfont : bodyfont 5.4pt is defined (can better be done global) > .... lots of this lines. Most exist doubly, some not. What is this? I have not redefined 7.6pt or 5.4pt ...? Gru�, Wolfgang

Frames kill indenting of paragraphs
by Emil Hedevang Lohse 21 May '03

21 May '03

Hello. I am trying to put frames around some of my enumerations (which I use to typeset theorems, lemmas, etc.), but when I put a frame around the enumeration, the indenting of the paragraphs disappears. Here is some sample code: \setupoutput[pdftex] \enableregime[il1] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setupbodyfont[cmr,11pt] \setupspacing[packed] \setupinterlinespace[medium] \setupspacing[packed] \setupindenting[medium] \indenting[yes,next] \defineenumeration[MyEnum] [location=serried, indenting={yes,next}] \defineframedtext[MyFrame] [indenting={yes,next}] \defineframedcontent[mine] [indenting={yes,next}] \starttext \startMyEnum Does it work?\par Yes, it does!\par \stopMyEnum \startframedcontent[mine] Does it work?\par No, it does not!\par \stopframedcontent \startframedcontent[mine] \startMyEnum Does it work?\par No, it does not!\par \stopMyEnum \stopframedcontent \startMyFrame \startMyEnum Does it work?\par No, it does not!\par \stopMyEnum \stopMyFrame -- Emil Hedevang Lohse <http://home.imf.au.dk/emil/> Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme. Og spørgsmålet "Kan ænder flyve?" er ikke dumt.

Line Tables problem
by Slawek Zak 21 May '03

21 May '03

I tried to check the new line-table module for ConTeXt and for a rough start, the demo present in core-ltb.tex which start with: \setuplinetable[n=6,m={2,2,2},regels=25] \setuplinetable[c][1][width=2cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \setuplinetable[c][4][width=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] .. doesn't work. The error message is: ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> n \v!nee ->n ee \stoplinetablepart ...>\linetableparameter \c!rek \else \setbox \scratchbox ... \linetableER ...plinetablecell \stoplinetablepart \savelinetablepart \advanc... l.732 ...b \NC c \NC ddddd \NC eeee \NC ff \NC \NR Tested with latest beta using cont-en.efmt and cont-nl.efmt as well in pdftex output mode. /S

m-bib and numeric references
by Maarten Sneep 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hi, I use the bibliography module for my references, and I have trouble setting it up like I want it. 1) I want to use numeric references, like [1] in the text. I'm getting a nice numbered list, but no numbers in the text, just [??]. What do I do wrong, according to the docs this should work. Below are the relevant lines from my setup: % bibliography \setupbibtex[database={ljname,references},sort=no] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setuppublications[sorttype=cite, criterium=used, numbering=yes, autohang=yes, refcommand=num] \setupcite[num][compress=yes,pubsep={, },lastpubsep={, },inbetween={--},left={[}, right={]}] \setupheadtext[en][pubs=Bibliography] 2) A minor other question, how do I right-align the numbers in the list, like .. .. 8. 9. 10. 11. ... you get the idea ;-) Regards, Maarten Mad, adj.: Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence.

Wrong pagebreak in column environment
by Nagy Bence 20 May '03

20 May '03

Dear all, I'm posting my unsolvable problem, there is a minimal example with a wrong pagebreak between Frame 3 and Frame 4 in the same column environment. I seek a solution without manual intervention (for example without \page[yes,force]). I want to make a script generated layout. Please, let me know, if anybody has an idea. Thanks! Greetings Bence Nagy

Hallo! > \enableregime, \mainlanguage, \setupencoding are English > commands; texexec is smart enough to detect this, and therefore > uses the English interface; Obviously this autodetectroutine is checking only the pr�ambel. > if you want to use the German one, > use the German corresponding command: \hauptsprache instead of > \mainlanguage. Or, as the first line of the file put: That means, that the aktual setting in 'texexec.ini' is of no practical use, isn't it? > % interface=de And than texexec forgets its smartness? The whole thing costs me a lot of time. I installed context with 'UserInterface de' without a real idea what it means. I didn't know if it brings me german messages or an german interface. Then I forgot this setting and used english statements. All worked well, until I wrote a little testfile, without pr�ambel, and tex complains about \chapter{}. It was very strange! May be, a warning message would be helpfull, say 'UserInterface doesn't match initial setting!' Wolfgang
