Hi, > > ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=35000]. > In MiKTeX the file is miktex.ini, not texmf.cnf; you should > find a hash_size= entry there. There was no entry like this ;( But I created it (and also hash_size_def) in section MikTeX, pdfeTeX... I created new section Magic, too - and try changing other values, but nothing has effect with this size ;( I compared the simlest document in LaTeX with the simpliest document in ConTeXt - there was: - about 3000 multiletter control sequences out of 35000 in LaTeX - about 30000 ! in ConTeXt Why MikTeX don't support ConTeXt?... Why... ;) -- Best regards Martin

Do typescripts slow down ConTeXt?
by Steffen Wolfrum 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hi, since I switched from LaTeX to ConTeXt I am wondering why ConTeXt (actually pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) \write18 enabled) gets so extremely slow when I use my own PostScript font. Here is my little statistics (ConTeXT with default/my font - the same in LaTeX): 1) \starttext W619Q \stoptext (5 seconds) 2) \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond] \usetypescript[AGaramond] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramond,10.5pt]% \starttext W619Q \stoptext (12 seconds) 3) \documentclass{book} \begin{document} W619Q \end{document} (less then 1 second) 4) \documentclass[pdftex]{book} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage[scaled,osf]{xagaramon} \begin{document} W619Q \end{document} (1 second) So it's 12 seconds compared to 5 seconds (or just 1 with LaTeX). Is this normal? Do I have a good chance that my typescript (see below) could be speeded up, or is this -unfortunately- the regular way ConTeXt deals with PostScript fonts? I'd be very happy for any help, Steffen "type-agaramond.tex" (for AGaramond Type1): \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] % \starttypescript [serif] [agaramond] [ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Regular] [padr9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic] [padri9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Bold] [padb9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-BoldItalic] [padbi9e] [encoding=ec] % \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Regular-OSF] [padr9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic-OSF] [padri9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Bold-OSF] [padb9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-BoldItalic-OSF] [padbi9d] [encoding=ec] % \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Semibold] [pads9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic] [padsi9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Semibold-OSF] [pads9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic-OSF] [padsi9d] [encoding=ec] % \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-RegularSC] [padrc9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldSC] [padsc9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-RegularSC-OSF] [padrc9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldSC-OSF] [padsc9d] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript % \starttypescript [serif] [agaramond] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [AGaramond-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [AGaramond-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [AGaramond-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [AGaramond-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SemiBold] [AGaramond-Semibold] \definefontsynonym [SemiBoldItalic] [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [AGaramond-RegularSC] \definefontsynonym [SerifSemiCaps] [AGaramond-SemiboldSC] \definefontsynonym [OldStyle] [AGaramond-RegularSC-OSF]% the regular old-style figures are in the small-caps file \stoptypescript % \starttypescript [AGaramond] \definetypeface [AGaramond] [rm] [serif] [agaramond] [default] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript

Problems with bibliography
by Adam Tee 29 Sep '03

Hi all, I'm having a few problems with my bibliography. All the citations in the text are correct but when they are place in the bibliography chapter sometimes the author is missing. I'm using \placepublications. Does anyone know of a solution Thanks Adam

Kudos to Patrick for pointing out what was wrong with my file--he helped me immensely, and I'm very grateful to him. The solution is: in addition to \clubpenalty and \widowpenalty, there is also \brokenpenalty, which enforces the good old typographical rule that no page should be broken after a hyphenated word. When I set it to 0, all my pages had exactly the same number of lines. Thanks to Patrick, and may others find it useful! Thomas

math in context
by gmorais 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

I woul like to know where I may find a complete list of symbols like $\Bbb{R}$ to use in context while I am typing maths. The main hurdle that I have today in change my personal typset work from latex to context is a lack of a reference manual in this area. Do you know where I may find one? Thanks in advance Gonçalo Morais

What is the current state > of the problem? Could you post your efforts so far? Yes, sure: This works for me, if no \startfrontmatter and \startbodymatter and the \stop... equivalents are used. If I use the \startfrontmatter cum suis then there is a numbered page after the TOC and the last page if even and empty is also numbered. Inside the \startbodymatter \stopbodymatter the emptypages at new chapters are empty pages with an empty header, thus no pagenumber. So if I use the recommended project structure I still have the generated-numbered-empty-pages problem at the end of each matter block. Does someone know how to avoid this, and how to make generated empty pages by default empty? Hans, you must know your child best, no? Steffen

Hi Willi, I hope that it can't be to difficult: Cause the page before a new chapter is actually completely empty JUST BECAUSE it is generated by (Con)TeX(t) - for chapters should begin on a right page. So I only ask for empty pages (without pagenumbers) that are generated by (Con)TeX(t). That's not possible in ConTeXt? Steffen

Three basic questions on alignment
by Steffen Wolfrum 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

May I add something to the previous "Alignment" thread? I have 3 cases where the usual command "align=left|right|... doesn't work: 1) \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={header,inmargin}] The page number is aligned left on a right page and vice versa. How can I change this to align left on left pages and right on right pages? (So the page number doesn't rag when flipping from page 1 to 100) 2) \setupheader[style=\MyStyle] \setupheadertexts[section][][][chapter] The chapter title behaves like the pagenumber. How can I change the alignment from inner to outer here? 3) \setupfootnotedefinition[location=inleft] The footnote's numbers here are aligned left, both on the left and the right page. What would be the command to align them right, with a constant distant to the note's text? In all cases I couldn't use align=left|right|..., so I guess there must be the same other syntax suitable for all three? Does anybody has an idea? Grazie, Steffen

Pagebreaks
by Thomas A.Schmitz 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Dear colisters, is there a way to tel Context to be dumb about pagebreaks? I mean to say "fill every page with the exact same number of lines, no matter what, regardless of clubs, widows, women and children"? Here's my setup: \setuplayout[lines=17,footer=0.7cm] \starttext \clubpenalty=0 \widowpenalty=0 Nevertheless, some pages are 1 or even three lines shorter than the rest (there are no tables, floats, pictures etc.). Can this be prevented? Thanks Thomas
