texfont and type-tmf.dat
by Matthew Huggett 04 Aug '03

Hi: When I run texfont as follows: texfont --en=texnansi --fontroot=/usr/share/texmf/fonts /usr/share/context/data/type-tmf.dat texfont reports "unknown subpath ../fonts/afm/urw/[font name]" for each font listed in type-tmf.dat. Where should the fonts be found? Thanks, Matt

beginner's hazzles with backgrounds and definitions.
by Matthias Weber 03 Aug '03

03 Aug '03

Hi, I am new to context, migrating from latex for the purpose of writing an online book. I would like to set up a few definitions in the environment file that would replace latex's \begin{definition} ... \end{definition} environments. I realize that this can be done conveniently with \defineenumeration, but I want of course a few more features in it then in latex's setup. For example, I'd like to have the definition typeset in some color against some background. I tried the following in the environment file: \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground [defbackground] [backgroundcolor=blue, backgroundoffset=.25cm, offset=.25cm, frame=off, location=paragraph, color=green] \defineenumeration [definition] [text=Definition, location=left, before={\starttextbackground[defbackground]}, after={\stoptextbackground}, letter=it] Then, in the text, when I use \startdefinition This is my definition. \stopdefinition the text comes out green all right, but the blue background is smeared all over two pages. I have tried a few modifications to no avail, so I fear I am doing it all wrong. Curiously, when I typeset the above th first time, I only get the green text (no blue), and the mess shows only up when typesetting the second time. Any help? Thanks, Matthias

Lucida, some progress
by David Arnold 03 Aug '03

03 Aug '03

All, I am running Miktex on Windows. I took my YandY lucida fonts (pfb and afm files) and put them in a temporary directory, f:\temp\fonts\lucida on my system. I then ran: texfont --fontroot=f:\localtexmf --sourcepath=f:\temp\fonts\lucida --vendor=yandy --collection=lucida --makepath --install I then added the following line to pdftex.cfg. map +texnansi-yandy-lucida.map The following file now compiles. However, feelings are bittersweet. I've got something working, but I have no idea why. Nor am I assured that I've found the proper solution. More difficulties could loom on the horizon. Have I done this the correct way? \setupoutput[pdf] \usetypescript[berry][texnansi] \usetypescript[lbr] \setupbodyfont[lbr] \starttext Hello. This is a {\em test} of what the {\it Lucida} {\sl Fonts} can do at 6 {\sc am}. \placeformula \startformula f(x)=\int_0^x f(t)\, dt \stopformula \stoptext

Lucida again

Hello, I am using the latest version of Miktex. This compiles just fine using pdflatex. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{lucidabr} \begin{document} Now is the time. \begin{equation} \label{eq:1} f(x)=x^2-2x-3. \end{equation} \end{document} But I don't understand how to use my Lucida YandY fonts in Context. I read and reread mfonts.pdf and it makes no sense to me. I tried: \setupoutput[pdf] \usetypescript[lbr] \setupbodyfont[lbr] \starttext Hello. \stoptext But I got this when I tried to compile. ) (F:\miktex\tex\context\base\type-spe.tex) (F:\miktex\tex\context\base\type-exa.tex))makemf --verbose ec-lbr cannot find ec-lbr source file. hbf2gf -q -g ec-lbr 300 MAKETFM: don't know how to make ec-lbr !

All, I am revisiting the metafun manual. Everytime I compile with: texexec --pdf junk I have to compile a second time with texexec --pdf junk before I can see changes to my graphics. What can I change and where so that I will only have to compile once?

m-bibtex: cite numberation problems
by Tobias Burnus 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Hi, I want to cite: [1], [2]. Using \setuppublications[numbering=yes,refcommand=number] I get [1], [3] in the text and 1, 2 in the "References" list. Has anyone seen a problem like this? Tobias PS: While clicking on the items in the Reference list jumps to the refering page, the opposite is not possible.
