\definecolorgroup with gray values
by Peter Rolf 19 May '03

19 May '03

I want to define a colorgroup of gray values, so I tried the following: \definecolorgroup[test][gray] [.1:.1:.1, .2:.2:.2] The result was: ---------------------------------------- ConTeXt ver: 2003.4.29 fmt: 2003.5.8 int: english mes: english ... ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \v!gray \p!compareprocessaction ...edaction \!!stringb {#1 }\ifx \!!stringa \!!string... \next1 #1,->\p!doprocessaction {#1} \doprocesscommaitem <argument> ...gray =>\edef \currentcolorspace {S}, \v!spot =>\edef \currentc... \processnextcommalist ...dodoprocesscommaitem #4#5 ,]\relax \global \advance ... \dodefinecolorgroup ...def \currentcolorspace {R}] \colorcount \zerocount \de... ---------------------------------------- Maybe there is a shorter way to define the gray values, so I tried \definecolorgroup[test][gray] [.1, .2] No luck. When I use rgb tables, all works fine. Has anyone an answer for that? Regards, Peter

newbie question: greek in ConTeXt?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 May '03

18 May '03

After using LateX for a while, I became interested in ConTeXt and was immediately fascinated by the ease of use and the logical structure of commands. However, for my job, I need to typeset in ancient Greek (politoniko). There are a couple of packages for LaTeX that can do that (Teubner, psgreek e.g.), but can it be done in ConTeXt? I already stumble whenever I try to set the language to Greek; I get a couple of error messages (I use the standard teTex-distribution on a Mac with OS X 10.2). Can anybody point me to helpful documents or discussions? Thanks a lot! -- Thomas A. Schmitz Philologisches Seminar Universitaet Bonn Am Hof 1 e 53113 Bonn Germany

over normal width tables
by Helmut Schwertner 18 May '03

18 May '03

Hello, sometimes I need over normal width tables. Is there any equivalent to "\sidewaystable" from LaTeX? If there is no way like "\sidewaystable" could somebody recommend an other solution to place width table? Thanks for every tip, kind regards, Helmut

no problem more with \usemodule[chart] and MikTeX
by Helmut Schwertner 18 May '03

Hello Giuseppe, thank you very much for your advice. I moved the metafun.mem from >>d:\texmf\miktext\fmt<< to >>d:\texmf\miktext\mem<< and it works perfect. best wishes, Helmut > Friday, May 16, 2003 Willi Egger wrote: > WE> Hi Helmut, > WE> Though I a m not using Miktex it seems that you might have to make the > mem > WE> file (format file ) for metafun yourself. > WE> texexec --make metafun > WE> Keep in mind, that the mem-file is dumped into the directory where you > run > WE> the texexec command. > Worse :) In my MiKTeX distribution it's dumped where the TeX > formats are.

German interface
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 18 May '03

18 May '03

Hallo! I have 'set UserInterface to de' in 'texexec.ini'. Given the following testfile: ------------------test.tex------------- \enableregime[windows] \mainlanguage[de] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \starttext \chapter{Test} Bla. \stoptext ---------------------------------------- This runs ok! Why? Should'nt use texexec german interface here? Deleting the first three lines, texexec uses german interface and complains about \chapter{}, which should be \kapitel{}. Commenting the first three lines, I could not find any rule, it seems as if texexec uses randomly german or english interface. Is this normal behaviour? How can I use german interface in the above example? Wolfgang

hyperbolic funtions in MP

I have problems using the hyperbolic functions sinh and cosh (MetaFun manual page 204) in metapost. A simple call of sinh (with valid parameter) ct:= sinh(3) ; gives ---------------------------------------- This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.10b-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.3) ConTeXt ver: 2003.4.29 fmt: 2003.5.8 int: english mes: english ... >> xx-2 !

more on texfont (ttf successes?)
by Adam Lindsay 17 May '03

17 May '03

Folks, I've been doing some testing on texfont, and it seems to *almost* support truetype (.ttf) fonts perfectly fine. Has anyone used it to install ttf files, and had it work perfectly? I think all that needs changing is where the mapfile gets written... the type1 extension ".pfb" is currently hard-coded. I'll experiment with a solution (that hopefully works better with .otf files too). Hans, has texfont.pl received any recent private changes that my OpenType patch has to be synched to? I don't want to create a bigger fork than necessary. Cheers, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

framed verbatim text
by Jedrzej Nasiadek 17 May '03

17 May '03

Hi, I'm trying to make a frame around the verbatim text. The approach that first came to my mind: \framed{% \starttyping quite a lot of multiline verbatim stuff \stoptyping} doesn't work. Any ideas how to achieve that (and still have possibility of applying background to that frame)? regards, Jedrzej
