another font loading error

Hello, After the upgrade to latest beta (from 08.08 21:28), I cannot load many of my Persian fonts (one uploaded here <http://mhbateni.com/context/bug-03/> for testing). It works on "current" without any issues but not on "beta". Find an MWE as well as the error message below. (I did test on a fresh standalone version as well.) \starttext \definedfont[HMXNiloofar*arabic] Salam \stoptext ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-ots.lua:3764: attempt to index field '?'

I want to place the caption of floats in the margin. I thought the locationparameter of setupcaption can be used to do this. But it doesnt work. What am I missing?

Me once again, a little bit trouble here

Hallo Alan, and list! Maybe someone has seen, what correspondence Henri Menke and i had. Now I have the following trouble: As you can see, I have two sections in the backmatter. I did, like Henri wrote to me, but I have two authors, which should be in two different sections: Truman in the first section: Allgemeine Literatur and Eriksson in an second section : Ich. Why are the titles in two sections? Iam sorry for the long text, but so you can understand, what I mean. Example: \startbuffer[biblio] @book{ErikssonBaaz2005, author ={Eriksson, Maria} title = {The Paternalism of Partnership. A Postcolonial Reader of Identity in Development Aid.}, year = {2005}, } @electronic{Truman1949, author = {Truman, Harry}, title = {Inaugural Address}, year = {1949}, note = {Letzter Zugriff: 10.07.2013}, url = {http:// www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=13282}, } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[eriksson][biblio.buffer] \usebtxdataset[truman][biblio.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \definebtxrendering[eriksson][apa][dataset=eriksson] \definebtxrendering[truman][apa][dataset=truman] \setupbtxrendering[continue =yes] \starttext \startchapter[title={Einleitung:"Entwicklung" Behindern?}] \startnarrower[left, right] \en More than half the people of the world are living in conditions approaching misery. Their food is inadequate. They are victims of disease. Their economic life is primitive and stagnant. Their poverty is a handicap and a threat both to them and to more prosperous areas.

bug in font rendering?
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 21 Aug '16

21 Aug '16

Hello, I may be doing something wrong but see the difference at the end of the first line in the PDF (produced from CONTEXT) and the corresponding rendering in Chrome. I observe this issue whenever there is a U+08F0 (or U+08F1 or U+08F2). The two sides of this diacritic sign are not joined. The other issue is with small gaps in between some letters and/or bad connection points. See the second and third lines in the PDF. Thanks, MHB

Dotted characters
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Hello, I'm preparing a child copybook. I'd like to write a uppercased letter "as is" followed by its shape drawn with dots - something like /\ . / \ . . /____\ ..... / \ . . I guess that some MP "trick(s)" might be used; also, a "simple" font should be used to be drawn dotted, which uses "single drawings" to draw each line of the character. Could anybody help with such (MP) code? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

\getscaledglyph for width-only
by Brian R. Landy 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to call \getscaledglyph to scale a glyph only horizontally, leaving the height untouched? Or maybe an alternate command? I can sort of accomplish this with (for example) \scale[sx=0.75,sy=1.0]{}{A}, but that encloses the glyph in an \hbox, which can be problematic. \getscaledglyph doesn't cause me any problems, except that it scales the height too. Thanks! Best regards, Brian

columnset and placefigure
by Henri Menke 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Dear list, I'm using columnsets to typeset stuff for a conference poster. I can't use paragraphs or columns, because these do not allow to set frames or backgrounds. Currently I do not use the column-spanning features, but I might in the future. The thing is, when I place a figure using `\placefigure` and the column distance is too large (i.e. the columns too narrow), the figure is not placed on spot but flushed to the next page. I'm unsure what the exact value for this threshold is and based on which criteria the figure is flushed. While this is not a problem in a normal document, it is for sure for a poster (I have not seen any multi-page posters yet). Please find below an example to illustrate my problem (with version 2016.05.17 19:20 from TL2016). Cheers, Henri --- \definecolumnset[threecolumn][n=3] \startmode[bug] \setupcolumnset[threecolumn][each][distance=3cm,frame=on] \stopmode \startnotmode[bug] \setupcolumnset[threecolumn][each][distance=2.999cm,frame=on] \stopnotmode \setupcolumnset[threecolumn][1][distance=0pt] \starttext \startcolumnset[threecolumn] \placefigure[force,here]{}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]} \column \stopcolumnset \stoptext

Windows 10, TeXLive 2016, and grep
by Br. Samuel Springuel 20 Aug '16

20 Aug '16

Where can I find the applicable documentation for the grep script included in TeXLive on Windows? I.e. the one called with `mtxrun -script grep ...`. In particular I'm interested in knowing which grep options are available and which are not. `man mtx-grep` lists only 4 options (pattern, count, nocomment, and xml). Are those really the only options available? -- ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ Br. Samuel, OSB St. Anselm’s Abbey Washington, DC (R. Padraic Springuel) PAX ☧ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ
