\setupbodyfont[pos] on Mac OSX ---> tfm file not found?

Does anyone have a working TeX installation on OSX where the \setupbodyfont[pos] command works? I cannot get it to work, I tried installating the fonts manually using the texfont command which did not work. I also tried \usetypescript[berry][8a] and other commands wich were mentioned in the maillist archive, but to no avail. I have the impression problems are caused by Context wanting EC encoded files which were dropped from the teTeX distribution some time ago. As I am no font expert I would appreciate some help. The output from my texec is as follows: [zoe:~] frank% texexec context.tex TeXExec 3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2002 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : context output : standard interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) entering extended mode (./context.tex{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg} ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2003.6.15 int: english mes: english language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex! system (E-TEX) : [line 726] \ifcsname ) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys loaded (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns 2:2-en-2 3:2-uk-2 4:2-de-2 5:2-fr-2 6:2-es-2 7:2-it-2 8:2-nl-2 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded system : context.top loaded (./context.top) specials : loading definition file tpd (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/spec-tpd.tex specials : loading definition file fdf (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.tex <unprotect 3> system (E-TEX) : [line 1815] \ifcsname <unprotect 4> <protect 4> <protect 3>) specials : fdf loaded ) specials : fdf,tpd loaded (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-pre.tex typescript : [serif] [times] [name,ec] (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) typescript : [sans] [helvetica] [name,ec] (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) typescript : [mono] [courier] [name,ec] (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) typescript : [serif,sans,mono] [default] [size] (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) typescript : [map] [ec] [] (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-map.tex pdftex : using map file: original-ams-cmr.map pdftex : using map file: original-context-symbol.map pdftex : using map file: pl0-ams-cmr.map pdftex : using map file: original-vogel-symbol.map pdftex : using map file: original-ams-euler.map pdftex : using map file: ec-adobe-utopia.map pdftex : using map file: ec-bit-charter.map pdftex : using map file: ec-public-antp.map pdftex : using map file: ec-public-antt.map pdftex : using map file: ec-urw-bookman.map pdftex : using map file: ec-urw-courier.map pdftex : using map file: ec-urw-helvetica.map pdftex : using map file: ec-urw-palatino.map pdftex : using map file: ec-urw-times.map pdftex : using map file: ec-urw-zapfchan.map pdftex : using map file: original-youngryu-px.map pdftex : using map file: original-youngryu-tx.map pdftex : using map file: ec-bh-lucida.map ) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex))kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-utmr8a /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map typeface abbreviation c- for ec-utmr8a. /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need to update /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fontname/special.map?

Printing ConTeXt macro files.
by Pierre VINET 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

Hi, ConTeXt's macro files are well documented but not easily readable as is. Is there a way to translate them to TeX for printing ? (as does mftmac with metafont files, ltxdoc class in LaTeX or webmac with web listings, etc.) Thanks, -- pv

Embedded movies
by Tobias Burnus 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

Hi, I somehow completely fail to embed successfully a movie into a pdf. I tried to test-view http://www/pragma-ade.com/general/uptodate/up-003-s.pdf but this failed with: "texwork.mov" cannot be found. Would you like to choose a replacement file? Then I tried \externalfigure[elf-iso.avi][height=\textheight, width=\textheight, preview=no, repeat=yes] The problem I have is that I have neither a working AVI file (the one I created with mencoder doesn't work with Quicktime or Windows Media Player due to the codec used) nor a .mov file. Windows Media player is able to play a MPEG file with the extention .avi, but Acrobat doesn't like it :-( Moreover Acrobat Reader is not able to create useful error message :-( Thus: Is it in principle possible to embed *.mpg files? This would save me a lot of work. (Somehow I failed to do so when modifying core-fig.tex) Otherwise, what is the best way to proceed? Tobias PS: Rdesktop is a nice way to access Windows from Linux :-) but Adobe could support movies in PDFs under Linux :-(

Writing Japanese using ConTeXt

I have posted the following to the list. But it seems disappeared. :-) So again. > One other point that may or may not matter is that ... I'm not sure if > this is the correct terminology, but the code points of the Japanese > character sets are arrayed in a sparse matrix (?). Each plane is > 194x194, rather than 256x256. I used to know why. Although the plane only have 194 characters each, many Japanese fonts used by TeX were split by 256 per subfonts as that in Chinese CJK compact mode. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lei Wang" <leiwang(a)swt.edu> To: <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 11:50 AM Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Writing Japanese using ConTeXt > Right.

Hello there, how am I to set german Umlaute in ConTeXt if using a US keyboard? With TeX it's \"a for example to produce ä and \ss for the german ß (scharfes s) ... but this ain't gonna work with ConTeXt. Oh, and btw.: Is there an archive of the ConTeXt mailing list to look through? Thank you in advance, ray

Gridsetting
by Matthias Vogel 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Hi, I'm new to this list and have quite a lot of questions. (Questions of course I can not answer after reading the contributions to the list.) I'll start with three of them in individual threads. Its funny that the ability to set gridfitting text, is often characterized as something that belongs in the domain of wordprocessors or DTP programs. For me it is an essential feature of typesetting since my publisher demands it---for good reasons: When printing on thin paper (paperback) one would see the lines of the backside of the paper inbetween the lines of its frontside---destroying a good contrast of the text. Beside of its general structure the announced ability to set to grid (dt.: Registerhaltig) is one of reasons for me to get into Context. But after a while of testing I'm not sure whether Context does what I want it to do. Here are my expectations. If you got something like this: normaltext text text text text text text text text texttext text text texttext texttext texttext texttext texttext text ---in 9dd, line: 10dd text text text texttext texttext texttext texttext text text texttext texttext texttext texttext texttext text \startcitation smalltext text text texttext texttext texttext texttext text text text text texttext texttext texttext texttext text ---text in 8dd, line: 9dd text texttext texttext texttext texttext texttext text \stopcitation normaltext text text texttext texttext texttext texttext text text texttext texttext texttext texttext texttext text ---in 9dd line 10dd text texttext texttext texttext texttext texttext text... we are loosing the grid because of the smaller lineskip in citation. I would like to modify the definition of citation (and other stuff, that causes deviations from the grid (headings)) in a way that the following text will adjust to the grit again. Is that possible? As far as I can see "\moveongrid" does not work in cases like the given example. Thanks in advance Matthias Vogel

(body)text colour; presentations (slides): step-wise buildup
by Tobias Burnus 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Hi, First: Is there a nice way to setup the fontcolour? Currently I encapsulate the whole document with a startcolor/stopcolor block. Second: I want to build up a slide in steps: | first | | first | | first | | | ==[click]=> | second | =[click]=> | second | | | | | | third | If I recall correctly I've seen one implementation for this (in ConTeXt) using JavaScript (and field stacks), but I cannot find anything regarding this. The other possibility (used by all LaTeX packages I'm aware of) is to produce multiple pages: one per step. Does anyone know by heart where the JS method is burried in ConTeXt? Tobias
