Hello, after some more experimenting I still dont't get what I want. Could someone please answer with at least an RTFM _and_ a page number? Thank you and many greetings.

I am using Bitstream Charter following the directions on Bill McClain's page for typescripts. Now I want to use \sc in both regular and expanded form. What is the best way to add a \sc typeface to my file? -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com

Dear ConTeXt hackers, what is this \setupsystem[\c!gebied={/Users/pg/}] doing in my .tmp file? What is the purpose of the setting? How can I overwrite this (if it is useful for anything)? Patrick

Hyperlinks to locations in other documents
by Nigel King 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi, I am trying to get a group of documents to link together. The references to the other document work but the hyperlinks only open the document on the first page. What am I doing wrong? The linktest1 has links to testdoc2. For those trying them you may need to change the font part since my fonts are non standard (subject of other problems). Key lines from testdoc1.tex are \useexternaldocument[testdoc][testdoc2][This document is a test link] \goto{contents}[testdoc::contents] And key lines from testdoc2.tex are \page[yes] \section[contents]{Contents List} TIA -- Nigel

2 basic questions on placefigure options
by Steffen Wolfrum 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

After reading the different manuals two questions still stay unanswered: 1. Is it true that a figure with text flowing around it (placefigure option left/right) has always to start with a beginning of a paragraph, so that it is not possible to place it in the middle of a text when it is mentioned there? 2. Isn't it possible to make a kind of combination between the placefigure options top and left (for example), so that a small picture can have text floating around it but it is placed at the top of the page (like big landscape formats would be with the top option)? I hope I just missed something... Thank you for any reply, Steffen

Concrete outline fonts
by Adam T. Lindsay 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi folks. This is what happens when you're fighting insomnia in a foreign land. I started investigating the TeXLive tree, and came up with at least a partial solution to something that keeps getting asked about here. Mark Ainsworth said this at Thu, 7 Aug 2003 11:48:55 +0100: >On another track, is there any way of getting pdftex to use the pfb concrete >fonts, rather than the bitmap versions without a major hack of my map files? >Has someone written a simple little routine to do the patching >automatically. They print out ok, but the on-screen versions are really >naff. The computer concrete fonts *do* exist in a type1 version, albeit only in pl0 encoding. They probably only get installed when you choose the polish language/fonts package in TeXLive. CTAN appears to have these files at: <http://www.ctan.org/getfile/?filename=language/polish/cc-pl.zip&action=/ tools/filesearch> Anyway, by creating some simple font synonyms to fonts already referred to by ConTeXt's built-in typescript, you can access the fonts fairly easily: %% use the Polish cc-pl type1 files that come with TeXLive7 \definefontsynonym [ccr10] [pcr10] [encoding=pl0] \definefontsynonym [ccti10] [pcti10] [encoding=pl0] \definefontsynonym [ccsl10] [pcsl10] [encoding=pl0] \definefontsynonym [cccsc10] [pccsc10] [encoding=pl0] \setupbodyfont[con] \starttext \input knuth \showaccents \stoptext In addition, if you install the type-eul.zip files, you can use the fonts with euler math, as well: % http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/EulerContext.zip % replace \setupbodyfont[con] with \usetypescriptfile[type-eul] \setupbodyfont[con,eul] Hope someone finds that interesting. adam [I sent this to the list whilst travelling from an alternate email account.

\setuplayout parameters
by John Culleton 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I want to set up a book 5.5 x 8.5 with .5in margins left and right. During the development process I want to be able to print it on US standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Here is my current prologue (I have tried several): \setupoutput[pdftex] \definepapersize[bok][width=5.5in,height=8.5in] \setuppapersize[bok][letter] \setuplayout[marginwidth=.5in,location=middle] \showframe When the resultant pdf is printed via Acrobat Reader I find the following anomalies: Total width of page outline: 5 7/16 in. Width of actual text block: 4.5 in approx. (this is OK.) Width of text block outline: 3 29/32 in (text overlaps block outline.) And so on. There are gaps between the margin outlines and the text block outline. The margin outlines are the wrong size. When I put the document in final form with \setuppapersize{bok][bok] and comment out \showframe Then the text block is not quite centered: the left margin is smaller than the right margin. Using Xpdf instead of Acrobat Reader shows the same anomalies. Changing marginwidth to margin shows the same anomalies. and so on. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

no Type1 fonts in ConTeXt?
by Steffen Wolfrum 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

I used to use PostScript font under MacOSX working with Gerben Wierda's tetex distributution. The pfb tfm etc. files I put in the texmf tree as Gerben suggested (~/Library/texmf) Everything works fine with LaTeX. Today I installed the uptodate ConTeXt files, followed by sudo mktexlsr and sudo fmtutil --all, and started experimenting. But whenever I want to use something different then CM, for example with \definetypeface [palatino] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=ec] \switchtotypeface [palatino] [12pt,rm] \starttext A test W test Q test R \stoptext I get only errors (see below). What did I do wrong? Problems with the texmf paths? What is the right way? Other commands for using PS fonts?
