The reason, why I am interesting in fonthandlers, was: To correct the lowerleftdoubleninequote-problem with cmr. To be honest, I am asking myself why this is not working out of the box, because cmr is TeX's standardfont. Anyway, it's good to learn something about fonthandlers and so. So, were are the doc's?

Hallo! In order to understand the appended puzzle, I am looking for documentations about: \definefonthandling \startfonthandling \usehandling I have found the example about 'hanging punctuation', but I could'nt even understand this example.

Paragraph indentation in enumerations?
by Emil Hedevang Lohse 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hello, When I write mathematics I need some way of making theorems and proof. Therefore I have defined the following enumerations \defineenumeration [theorem] [text=Sætning, style=slanted, way=bychapter] \defineenumeration [corollary] [theorem] [text=Korollar, style=slanted, way=bychapter] \defineenumeration [proof] [text=Bevis., number=no] \setupenumerations [theorem,proof] [location=serried, headstyle=bold, width=broad, stopper=.] \setupindenting[medium] But when I make the proof and type \startproof One paragraph. Two paragraphs. Three paragraphs. \QED \stopproof There is no indentation of the paragraphs. How can I fix this? -- Emil Hedevang Lohse <http://home.imf.au.dk/emil/> Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme. Og spørgsmålet "Kan ænder flyve?" er ikke dumt.

relative font size
by Johannes Hüsing 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hi all, I hou also van the Bitstream Charter font and I am looking for a matching monospace. To my mind LuxiMono fits Charter very well but the percepted sizes don't match at all. I would like to downscale LuxiMono by at least ten per cent when using it with Charter. What is the ConTeXt way to achieve this? Thanks a lot, as always.

why btex...etex or textext() does not work? (fwd)
by Vit Zyka 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hallo ConTeXt list member, I am new member in the list so apologize if I ask for something trivial. But I have been looking in documentation, in ConTeXt source code, in the Net... Unsuccessfully. Perhaps someone here will known. I have this simple file zk.tex: %--------------------- \starttext Hallo. \startuseMPgraphic{zk} picture p; p:= btex Text1 etex; % p:= textext("Text2"); % label(btex Text3 etex, origin); draw p; draw origin--(1cm,1cm); \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{zk} \stoptext %---------------------- When I run texexec zk the compilation pass successfuly but the result is without line and "Text1". In the case of "Text2" I obtain line and "unknown" (picture) text and in the case of "Text3" the same as in "Text1". The log file from my recent context distribution on Linux web2c is in the attachment. The file mpgraph.mpx is created with correct content (Text1). But next run of metapost does not include it. The only way how to obtain desired result is to run mpost directly mpost mpgraph.mp But it is not possible with the "textext". The instalation is standard. Only I set \setupoutput[pdftex] \usesymbols[nav] \setupsymbolset[navigation 1] \recycleMPslotstrue \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue \useMETAFUNformattrue in cont-sys.tex So, what I am doing worse? Thanks Vit -- _________________________________ | Vit Zyka, researcher, CTU FEE | | Center for Machine Perception | | zyka@ http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz | ---------------------------------

Problem with useexternaldocument
by Simon Pepping 08 Mar '03

Hi, I have a problem with \useexternaldocument in a recent beta: ! I can't find file `file:/localhost/home/simon/programmeren/context/DocbookInC ontext/hasbook.tuo'. <to be read again> \relax \dodoreadfile ...normalinput \readfilename \relax \the \everyafterreadfile \doutilities ...textension }\donothing \donothing \the \everyafterutilityrea... <argument> ...ontext/hasbook}\empty \relax \relax \ifx \fileprefix \empty \e... \firstofoneargument #1->#1 \usereferences ...ist {#1}\loadedreferences \fi }} \stopnointerference ... l.9 ...ocbookInContext/hasbook][Hasselt in August] This happens when I have 'file:' in the file name, but not when I have a local file name without URI scheme in it. The problem seems to be in \doreadfile, which goes over to \dodoreadfile, which insists on finding this tuo file.

Standard ligatures in ec encoding
by Nagy Bence 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hi all, I have installed the URW fonts with texfont --batch --encoding=ec type-tmf.dat The \setupbodyfont[pos,10pt] works well, but there is no f-ligatures in the output. The fi and fl are in the character table (in ec-urw-times.tex the \ShowFont shows both), but \showligatures doesn't show these. What is wrong? Greetings Bence Nagy

Hi, i would like to know - if i can draw a gradient/shading with two RGBA colors, for example, a gradient starting with red=1 and alpha=0.5 and ending with green=1 and alpha=0.7 - if it is possible to add some capabilities to texutil, or where else it is needed, so that externalfigure "somefile" scaled 2 ; has the original figure-size scaled 2 and not unitsquare scaled 2 Best, Jens

Docbook In Context, new version
by Simon Pepping 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hi, I have uploaded a new version of DocbookInContext. This version has a sizable contribution by Richard Rascher-Friesenhausen, with a.o. Metapost graphics for admonitions, a Spanish translation of literal strings by Pablo Rodriguez, and numerous small features. It also introduces backgrounds, a.o. for programlistings, but unfortunately this feature seems to cause spurious page breaks under certain circumstances. In addition the web page has a nice example of how you can customize DocbookInContext by writing your own module, also by Richard Rascher-Friesenhausen. You can find DocbookInContext at http://www.hobby.nl/~scaprea/context/. Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping email: spepping(a)scaprea.hobby.nl
