Installing fonts in a ConTeXt Docker (texfont tool missing?)
by Rodzis, Michelle 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Dear list, currently I work on a customized Docker container based on Ubuntu 16.04 where I run ConTeXt standalone. To install ConTeXt, I use the approach described in the wiki: RUN wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh &&\ sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all After setting ConTeXt root everything works fine and as expected. However, the texfont tool seems to be missing which means I cannot install new fonts in my container. This seems kind of odd to me since I thought texfont is available automatically after ConTeXt is installed. I also tried Henri's Debian-based Dockerfile, but texfont seems to be missing there, too. Any ideas on this? Have I missed something? Many thanks in advance and best wishes, Michelle

Dear all, This is a long standing feature request reported multiple times by myself and others with MWEs in https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg79620.html and https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg79727.html. Another MWE in which the link is non-functional: \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}] \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard] \starttext \about[figure]. \page \placefigure[][figure]{Figure}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} \stoptext Please, Hans, I kindly ask you to reconsider. I am aware of your opinion and reasoning about this issue. But I believe that for many of us users, today's PDFs need to be both, interactive *and* printable. If there is any way I can help or motivate you, then please tell me ;-) Kind regards, Christoph

\setupfloatcaption align=
by Alan Braslau 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Hello list, According to the interface files (texmf-context/tex/context/interface/mkiv) \setupfloatcaption takes an align= parameter (inherits from \setupalign). Additionally, it suggests that the location= parameter can take the keywords tolerant, verytolerant and stretch. None of this appears to work. \setupcaption [figure] [align=verytolerant] is ignored, and \setupcaption [figure] [location={bottom,verytolerant}] gives unexpected and surprising results. I cheat, and use \setupcaption [figure] [style={\setupalign[verytolerant]}] but this is hardly a proper solution. Question: Why do figure captions NOT inherit from \setupalign, i.e. \setupalign[verytolerant] in a preamble does not have an effect on float captions? Question2: What is going on with \setupfloatcaption ? Thanks Alan

Font fallback scaling
by Magnus J 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

I use Adobe Garamond Pro in combination with Termes Math for math (the latter for missing glyphs, Garamond is not very complete). How can I scale size of Termes Math without decreasing the size of the Garamond glyphs in math mode? /MJO % define the characters to use for Garamond in math mode \definefontfamilypreset [math:somesymbols] [range={0x0002A-0x0002E,0x000A7,0x000B6,0x000D7,0x000F7,0x02020-0x02021,0x02212,0x02219-0x02226,0x02228-0x02265,0x02012,0x0003C-0x0003E,0x0007C}, tf=style:regular, offset=lowercasenormal, ] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][mm][Adobe Garamond Pro][math:digitsnormal] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][mm][Adobe Garamond Pro][math:lowercasenormal] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][mm][Adobe Garamond Pro][math:lowercaseitalic] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][mm][Adobe Garamond Pro][math:uppercasenormal] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][mm][Adobe Garamond Pro][math:uppercaseitalic] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][mm][Adobe Garamond Pro][math:somesymbols] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Adobe Garamond Pro] \definefontfamily[mainface][mm][TeX Gyre Termes Math][scale=0.9] % <-- scaling here... \setupbodyfont[mainface,11pt] \starttext 100 $100$ % <-- leads to math mode that is smaller than text, even for Garamond glyphs \stoptext

Reference links with focus=standard option
by Lawrence Bell 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hi mailing list, I'm having some trouble with (interactive) references. I had a quick search of the mailing list and couldn't find any talk about this kind of issue, so I'm asking now. Hoping you could help me out. Consider the following example document. \setupinteraction [ state=start, % focus=standard, ] \starttext \startchapter[title=Some Title, reference=pt:ref] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, \periods \startplaceformula[reference=eq:ref] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2. \stopformula \stopplaceformula Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, \periods \startitemize[r] \startitem[it:ref] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, \periods \stopitem \stopitemize And now we can refer to formula~\in[eq:ref], chapter~\in[pt:ref], and item~\in[it:ref]. \page And now we can refer to formula~\in[eq:ref], chapter~\in[pt:ref], and item~\in[it:ref]. \stopchapter \stoptext All is well with the default setting for focus. I don't like that with most (?) PDF viewers the default setting changes the zoom level, so I usually turn on \setupinteraction[focus=standard] instead. But this seems to break (some of) the interactive links. The links to the the chapter and item still work, but the links to the formula are broken. As an experiment, I just tried this with a couple different viewers (Firefox, Evince, Okular, Xpdf, Qpdfview) and (putting \setupinteraction[focus=standard] back in) the link is indeed broken on all of them, /except/ for Qpdfview which still seems to understand it. What's going on here? Thanks in advance, Lawrence

\ifcase changes default align in xtables
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupxtable[mytable] [option={stretch, height}, align={\ifcase\currentxtablerow\fi}] \starttext \startxtable[mytable] \startxrow \startxcell 1 \stopxcell \startxcell 2 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell 3 \stopxcell \startxcell 4 \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \startxtable[option={stretch, height}] \startxrow \startxcell 1 \stopxcell \startxcell 2 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell 3 \stopxcell \startxcell 4 \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext For some strange reason, when using \ifcase in align, default is changed from {high, left} to {lohi, center}. Shouldn’t defaults be the same? BTW, if I set align to {\ifodd\currentxtablerow\fi}. I wonder whether this might be a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

conditional format in xtables
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Dear list, thanks to Wolfgang, I learnt to set conditional format in xtables, such as in: \setupxtable [foregroundcolor={\ifnum\currentxtablecolumn=2 red\else green\fi}] \starttext \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell one \stopxcell \startxcell two \stopxcell \startxcell tree \stopxcell \startxcell four \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext My question is whether I can use ConTeXt conditionals instead of the ones from TeX. {\doifelse{\currentxtablecolumn}{2}{red}{green}} doesn’t work here. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Math kerning broken in latest beta
by Henri Menke 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Dear list, The math kerning seems to be broken in recent versions of LuaTeX. When I process the MWE below with TeX Live 2017 (LuaTeX 1.0.4) I get a different result from the latest beta (LuaTeX 1.07.0). However, I could only observe this behaviour with some fonts, e.g. stixtwo or lucidaot. No difference was encountered for modern and xits. Cheers, Henri --- \setupbodyfont[stixtwo] % or lucidaot \startTEXpage $V_A$ \stopTEXpage

xmlrefatt
by dr. Hans van der Meer 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

There is a slight restriction on \xmlrefatt that makes its use problematic, because it does not differentiate between an absent attribute and an attribute consisting of an empty string. The use for \xmlrefatt I had in mind was (a) do nothing if the attribute is absent, and (b) reset some value to its default value when the attribute is present but an empty string. Is it an option that its implementation is changed? A boolean return value will be fine, because false then can signify the attribute’s absence and true its presence. In the latter case it is safe to retrieve the attribute which then might be an empty string. Summarizing: the fact that \xmlrefatt tries to do two different things at the same time (signalling presence/absence) and returning an attribute, in a certain sense cripples its use. dr.

how to change the colour of the footnote marker
by Robert Zydenbos 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

Today I wanted to print an entire document not in standard black, but in blue. I added (Mk II) – \setupcolors [state=start] \define\kleur{blue} % so I can change the colour uniformly everywhere through this variable \startcolor [\kleur] \setupnote[footnote][before={\color[\kleur]}] \setupfooter [color=\kleur] – and everything becomes blue, but NOT the footnote number before the footnote itself at the bottom of the page (the marker in the main text is coloured the way I want). Can anyone tell me how to change the colour of the footnote number in the note? Robert
