Mathematica fonts in ConTeXt
by Mikael Persson 13 May '03

13 May '03

Hello everybody, I wonder if someone has used the Mathematica math fonts in ConTeXt? If not, then maybe someone could give me a hint how to write the files needed to enable the usage of them (I have looked in math-tex.tex, math-lbr.tex and so on, but I don't understand how adding support for a new font is done with math fonts) I would really like to use them since they seem to go fine with times and since I am writing Mathematica stuff... Another problem may be that the fonts are available in .pfa format. I did convert them to .pfb's with pfa2pfb and the .pfb files got half the size of the .pfa files (maybe that is how it is supposed to be?) Any help is appreciated, Regards, Micke P

predefined fonts on TeXLive
by Bill McClain 13 May '03

13 May '03

I'd like to add a section on using TeXLive fonts to my help page. First: listing those which are predefined in ConTeXt. Then: writing typescripts for the others. Since I don't want to write any unncessary scripts, please check this list to see if I've missed anything. This is what I see by looking at type-exa.tex and running some experiments: (1) The default, with no type specification, gives Bluesky Computer Modern. (2) This produces CM-Super Computer Modern: \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[modern] (3) This produces Palatino (URW Palladio): \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] % \setupbodyfont[palatino] (4) This produces Times (URW Nimbus): \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[times][ec] % \setupbodyfont[times] (5) These both produce Times, Helvetica (\ss) and Courier (\tt) from the URW Nimbus collection: \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \setupbodyfont[pos] or \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[postscript][ec] \setupbodyfont[postscript] * * * That's all I can find. type-exa.tex contains Lucida typeface definitions, but the corresponding tfm's don't exist on TeXLive. Is there some setting to make these work? Similarly, type-enc.tex contains many font synonyms, but the tfm's do not exist and there are no typeface definitions for them. For anything else, I'll have to produce typescripts, right? -Bill -- Sattre Press Pagan Papers http://sattre-press.com/ by Kenneth Grahame info(a)sattre-press.com http://pp.sattre-press.com/

tagged pdf (again)
by Bruce D'Arcus 13 May '03

13 May '03

I'm not on the pdftex list, but I was just looking through their archives and came across this document on the PDF 1.5 spec: http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/docs/filefmtspecs/ PDFReference15draft.pdf The most notable point of interest to me is on the extensions to the tagged PDF spec (particularly starting on 10.7.4). PDF will now support structured markup for pretty much all of the common structures in ConTeXt, even citations! Any chance we'll finally see pdftex (and later ConTeXt) support this Hans? Bruce

selecting encoding for Unicode
by Gour 13 May '03

13 May '03

Hi! I have problem in displaying characters which are not in default ConTeXt encoding, eg. amacron, Amacron, Imacron, imacron .. My input is utf-8 and converted to ConTeXt with dbcontext package. In ConTeXt file I have: \chardef\utfunihashmode=1 and \enableregime[utf] and everything is fine, except that I don't know how to switch encoding to Unicode, so that the characters which are defined in e.g. \unic-001.tex can be displayed. I have tried with \useencoding [uc] but it doesn't work. However, when I put {\amacron} it is properly displayed - I conclude that ConTeXt understands the glyph name, but when it has to decode the same character as utf-8, it doesn't recognize it. Any hint?

Using \cal, \frak, \goth in math mode
by Giuseppe Bilotta 13 May '03

13 May '03

In ConTeXt, \cal, \frak and \goth (etc) are considered "text only" commands. To use them in math mode one has to use \gothing, \fraktur, \calligraphic etc, which make a temporary switch to text mode. This is contrary to the LaTeX expectations, where $\cal ABC$ makes all three letters calligraphic. How could such a thing be achieved in ConTeXt? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Toggle fields
by Sytse Knypstra 13 May '03

13 May '03

Dear ConTeXt users, In experimenting with (JavaScript) fields I tried the example on p. 11 in the up-to-date 1998/1 publication. I placed the check field not in the margin, but in the running text and discovered that \goto{Help}[JS(Toggle_Hide{Help})] does work if it is placed after \fitfield[Help], but that it does not work if it is placed before \fitfield[Help]. For the commands \goto{Hide Help}[HideField{Help}] and \goto{Show Help}[ShowField{Help}] their position relative to \fitfield[Help] does not matter. Would it be possible to make a command ToggleField, analagous to HideField and ShowField, whose position relative to \fitfield[Help} is not important? Thank you, Sytse %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Here is the complete example: \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \definefield[Help][check][Helpsetup][helpinfo][helpinfo] \setupfields[reset] \setupfield[Helpsetup][width=fit,height=fit,frame=off,option={readonly,hidden}] \definesymbol[helpinfo][\SomeHelpText] \def\SomeHelpText% {\framed [width=\leftmarginwidth,height=fit,align=middle,style=small, frame=on,background=color,backgroundcolor=white,framecolor=red] {Click on the hide button to remove this screen}} %\fitfield[Help] % if uncommented, all three \goto's work ok Now we can put the button somewhere and turn the help on or off by saying \goto{Hide Help}[HideField{Help}] or \goto{Show Help}[ShowField{Help}]. Although it's better to put these commands in a dedicated part of the screen. And try \goto{Help}[JS(Toggle_Hide{Help})]. \fitfield[Help] % \goto{Help}[JS(Toggle_Hide{Help})] does not work \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

ligatures?
by Adam Lindsay 13 May '03

13 May '03

TeXnicians, Once again, I'll stick my neck out showing my pure TeX ignorance. Are there ConTeXt commands for adding ligatures to the usual set (ff, fi, etc.)? Where in the chain are these characters (f + i) grouped and associated with the 'fi' character to be output? I'd like to be able to take advantage of some extended ligatures with my pro fonts, but it seems that if users have to enter the ligatures as \Thligature or whatever, they would be of very limited use. thanks in advance, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
