How to define a {\bf}-compatible fake-bold switcher?
by Sylvain Hubert 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Dear List, I'm using a weirdfont that does not have a pre-defined bold variant but still want to emboldening short extracts of text occasionally, so I've defined \defineeffect[thicker][alternative=both,rulethickness=0.3pt] \define\fakebf{\effect[thicker]} but in situations like {\fakebf \definedfont[weridfont] 1 2 3 \definedfont[modern]4 5 6} the "4 5 6" is faked bold even if latinmodern has a proper bold font. Could anyone help me define a {\bf}-aware version of \fakebf which can render the "4 5 6" in the example above in latinmodern's bold? Thanks in advance. Best, Sylvain

How to quote the section names in advance like the table of contents?
by Sylvain Hubert 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Dear List, say I have three sections in the document: \section{foo} ... \section{bar} ... \section{baz} ... Now I would like to auto generate a heavily customized table of contents like the following text, which cannot be done by the stock \placecontent in general, and put it into the preface: This book has 3 sections: foo, bar, and baz. The text generation should be trivial with lua, but I don't know how such forward reference of section names works. Could anyone help me with it? Thanks in advance. Best, Sylvain

fancybreak fails in LMTX
by Rik Kabel 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Hello all, The following example produces the expected output in MkIV, but fails in LMTX (both dated 2020-11-07). The modules directory was copied into the LMTX tree from the MkIV tree, and the log indicates that the module is loaded. It gives no other clues. The output has a blank line where the break should be, as shown in the included snips. \usemodule [fancybreak] \definesymbol [asterisms][*\qquad fancybreak\qquad *] \setupfancybreak[indentnext=no,symbol=asterisms] \starttext Before \fancybreak After \stoptext MkIV output: LMTX output: -- Rik

troubles when installing OpenBSD 64 binaries (install.sh?)
by Damien Thiriet 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Hi, I tried to install the new OpenBSD amd64 binaries (thanks Hans!) but it failed. I suspect something is wrong with install.sh Here is the script I use to install binaries on a new system: #!/bin/ksh #script pour installer ConTeXt dans une nouvelle version OpenBSD #Pour lire avant usage /bin/echo "as-tu bien relu le script avant de le lancer?" #temps de pause pour la lecture /bin/sleep 30 #nettoie avant installation /bin/rm -rf /usr/local/context/* #telecharge /usr/bin/ftp

wrong /Rect in link annotations
by Pablo Rodriguez 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \enabledirectives[references.border] %~ \definemakeup[slide] \define[1]\newurl{\goto{\tt\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]} \starttext %~ \startmakeup[slide] \newurl{a} compared to \newurl{a}. %~ \stopmakeup \stoptext I’m afraid that with current latest rectangles for links got to the end of the line when nothing stops them. Could anyone confirm the issue? BTW, I include the makeup, because previously this issue only took place within makeups. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

another error message in LMTX
by Pablo Rodriguez 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Hans, using latest from yesterday, I get the following error: tex error > tex error on line 22 in file cont-yes.mkiv: Valid keyword expected, likely 'minus' <lua output> mt xrunjit <to be read again> \relax <macro> \buff_verbatim_type_buffer_indeed ...rrentregime }tab{\typingparameter \c!tab }method{\p_buff_option }escape{\typingparameter \c!escape }nature{display}\relax \dostoptagged \endofverbatimlines \dostoptagged \stoppacked \typingparameter \c!after [...] You started a keyword but it seems to be an invalid one. The first character(s) might give you a clue. You might want to quit unwanted lookahead with \relax. This comes from a book with > 300pp. It compiles perfectly fine with MkIV, so the typo might be in LMTX itself. I wonder whether it would be possible to add the invalid keyword (and related command) to the error message. This would mean something like: tex error > tex error on line 22 in file cont-yes.mkiv: Valid keyword expected, got "invalid one" (related to "command"). This would help a lot to figure out where to start searching for clues for a MWE. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Problem using a TTF font
by ntg＠scorecrow.com 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

This, I'm certain, used to work with an LMTX from the beginning of the year but I've upgraded to "ConTeXt ver: 2020.11.05 23:01 LMTX fmt: 2020.11.6 int: english/english" and now it doesn't. I have a single .tex file in a directory, containing: ---begin--- \definefont [TwelveC] [file:Bondi12CPlus.TTF at 14pt] \starttext Keycaps: \TwelveC 123.45 \tf and back again \stoptext ---end--- In the same directory I have the TTF font file which can be obtained from <https://www.educalc.net/2336507.page>. It is calculator keycap images for use in documentation. In the PDF I get just blank space where the keycaps should be and Adobe Reader's document info seems to think there is only one font in the file i.e. the keycap font didn't get embedded. However, the console output includes the lines: mkiv lua stats > result saved in file: 12C_test.pdf, compresslevel 3, objectcompresslevel 1 mkiv lua stats > loaded patterns: en::1, load time: 0.000 mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 3 files: latinmodern-math.otf, lmroman12-regular.otf, bondi12cplus.ttf mkiv lua stats > font engine: otf 3.111, afm 1.513, tfm 1.000, 8 instances, 3 shared in backend, 3 common vectors, 0 common hashes, load time 0.132 seconds mkiv lua stats > font embedding time: 0.006 seconds, 2 fonts which suggests LMTX thinks it loaded the font but decided not to embed it for some reason. I'm probably doing something silly since it's been several months since I last looked at this but I can't see what I might be doing wrong :-( so any and all help much appreciated. PS: The font installs and displays in MacOS fine. I've also tried \definefont [TwelveC] [Bondi12CPlus at 14pt] and that fails the same way. -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
