Fonts : log info
by Jean-Pierre Delange 10 Aug '24

10 Aug '24

Dear List, Looking at the log file of a compilation job, I find the following information: fonts > defining > font with asked name 'file-mainface-rm-it-1' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unable to define 'file-mainface-rm-it-1' as 'dummy-a-0' fonts > defining > unable to define 'file-mainface-rm-it-1' as 'dummy--0' Can anyone shed some light on what I need to understand?

How to allow hyphenation, only for footnotes?
by Joel 10 Aug '24

10 Aug '24

My copy editor urged me to remove all hyphens from the main text of my document. I'm using: \definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \start \setupalign[nothyphenated,tolerant,hz,hanging] (text) \stop The problem is that is messing with footnotes, causing things like URLS to run off the page. How can I permit the hyphenation to appear normally, but only on the footnote text? --Joel

OT: lead chemistry
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

Guido Kühn, a design professor, caricaturist and avid manual typesetter, recently bought an old, empty cabinet for lead fonts. In that, he found a leftover piece of chemistry typesetting, made out of Berthold chemistry letters – nowadays exceptionally rare, since they were smelt down even earlier than other lead type. source with photos: https://mastodon.social/@GuidoKuehn/112922576039332335 https://mastodon.social/@GuidoKuehn/112927659972511919 https://cartoons.guido-kuehn.de/category/druckwerkstatt/

language not working in transliteration?
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

Dear list, I have the following sample: \mainlanguage[it] \starttext \usetransliteration[serbian] \definetransliteration [MySerbian] [color=red, language=de, vector={serbian to latin}] \definetransliteration [MySerbianX] [MySerbian] [color=blue] \transliterationexception[serbian to latin] {whatever}{(\currentlanguage): } \starttransliteration[MySerbian]% whatever А \stoptransliteration \transliteration[MySerbianX]{whatever А} \stoptext In both cases, current language is main language (in the sample above, "it" instead of "de"). Am I missing something here? (Sample adapted from lang-tra.mkxl.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo

workflow tool: add to git
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Aug '24

07 Aug '24

In case you organize your ConTeXt projects in git repositories: "addtogit.py" is a little script that checks your log (or jlg) file for the local files used and adds them to the git stage. (No automatical commit so that you can check if you want these files.) Leaves out auto-generated files like "m_k_i_v_*". Needs Python and GitPython (pip install gitpython). https://codeberg.org/fiee/context-tools Have fun, Hraban

by Shiv Shankar Dayal 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

I have defined a determinant environment like below: \definemathmatrix[determinant] [matrix:bars] [simplecommand=thedeterminant] and I create a determinant like below: \startformula \startdeterminant\NC a_{11} \NC a_{12} \NC a_{13} \NC \cdots \NC a_{1n}\NR \NC a_{21} \NC a_{22} \NC a_{23} \NC \cdots \NC a_{2n}\NR \NC a_{31} \NC a_{32} \NC a_{33} \NC \cdots \NC a_{3n}\NR \multispan{9}{\dotfill}\NR \NC a_{n1} \NC a_{n2} \NC a_{n3} \NC \cdots \NC a_{nn} \NR\stopdeterminant This was working before today but I updated ConTeXt and it has stopped working. The error it gives me now is: tex error > tex error on line 277 in file determinants.tex: You can't use '\Ustopmath' in restricted horizontal mode How can I get it working again? -- Respect, Shiv Shankar Dayal

vertical position of \overparent in concrete math
by fv leung 05 Aug '24

05 Aug '24

I have a formula involving \overparent to be typeset in kpfonts and concrete. There is no problem with kpfonts. But the \overparent in concrete is just too high. I can adjust the position with [distance=-1ex] . Is there a better way to adjust the position? Like using goodies (don't know how)? Thanks in advance! \starttext \start \setupbodyfont[kpfonts,10pt] \m{\overparent{ABCD}=100\pi} \stop \start \setupbodyfont[concrete,10pt] \m{\overparent{ABCD}=100\pi} \m{\overparent[distance=-1ex]{ABCD}=100\pi} \stop \stoptext

Alignments of margin notes
by Gerion Entrup 03 Aug '24

03 Aug '24

Hi, I want to make a two sided document with margin notes. The notes should not be hyphenated and always aligned to the inner text body. However, I did not get this to work. It hyphenates and the alignment is only correct at even pages. Do you know the correct way? Here is a MWE: ``` \setuppagenumbering[location={footer, right}, alternative=doublesided] \definealign[myalign][inner, nothyphenated] \setupmargindata[inmargin][ location=outer, style=italic, % nothing of that seems to have any effect % align=myalign, % align=inner, % align=nothyphentated, align={inner, nothyphentated}, ] \starttext \inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth \inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth \inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth \inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth \inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth \inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth \inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth \inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth \stoptext ``` Best, Gerion
