How to use Helvetica Neue Light (OS X)?
by Nicola 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

I am coming back to using ConTeXt after a relatively long hiatus, so I am trying to re-learn old things and learn the new stuff. Please bear with me. I want to use OS X's Helvetica Neue Light in a document. How may I do that? I have tried: \definefontfamily [myfamily] [serif] [Helvetica Neue Light] but, fair enough, that results in `font with asked name 'unknown' is not found`. If I use \definefontfamily [myfamily] [serif] [Helvetica Neue] then the document is typeset in Helvetica Neue, but in boldface. Why? Using mtxrun, all the relevant files are found: mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=neue* helveticaneue helveticaneuebold /System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeue.dfont index: 13 helveticaneuebold helveticaneuebold /System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeue.dfont index: 13 helveticaneuedeskinterface helveticaneuedeskinterfaceregular /System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeueDeskInterface.ttc index: 9 helveticaneuedeskinterfacenormal helveticaneuedeskinterfaceregular /System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeueDeskInterface.ttc index: 9 helveticaneuedeskinterfaceregular helveticaneuedeskinterfaceregular /System/Library/Fonts/HelveticaNeueDeskInterface.ttc index: 9 How do I specify the font's weight?

Dear list, I’m afraid there may be a bug in betas from February (including the latest one from 2016.02.08 15:35): \startbuffer[demo] <doc> <p>Link: <a href="http://a.b/c#d">http://a.b/c#d</a></p> </doc> \stopbuffer \starttext \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p|doc|a}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{span[@label]}{xml:logo} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:a \mypersonalurl{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \def\mypersonalurl#1{\bgroup\tt\goto{% \hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]\egroup}% \unexpanded\def\href#1#2{\goto{#2} [url(#1)]} \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext Output with latest beta: Link: http://a.b/c\Ux {23}d Output with beta from 2016.01.14 09:55; Link: http://a.b/c#d I guess this is a bug.

issue with typeface definition order
by Pablo Rodriguez 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Dear list, I have the following code: \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][TeX Gyre Heros] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] this is a simple sentence \ss this is a simple sentence \stopTEXpage Using latest beta (2016.02.08 15:35), if sans is defined before serif, the default family is sans (no serif used). It only works as intended if serif is defined before sans. Is this the intended behavior? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

by Andreas Schneider 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Hi, I presume I found a bug in TABLE placement. The attached examples shows, that the split TABLE is not centered on the first page, bug centered on the second. I would expect it to be centered in both cases. Best regards, Andreas

columnsets
by Hans Hagen 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hi, I'm currently reimplementing columnsets and I'm wondering how many users there are of this mechanism. How bad is it if the more obscure features go away and others show up.

Lost in letter module
by Jan U. Hasecke 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hi all, I am completely lost in the letter module. I started with the tutorial "Correspondence with ConTEXt Version: 2010.08.27" but reference line does not show up at all. So I read a little further: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter And the PDFs that are linked under "Further information" But I fear that I am now completely lost as some commands seems to be old or deprecated or whatever, but they simply does not work. And there are references to new commands in the text. What I am trying to get is a letter with first and second page style, where on the first page I need a special foot with accounting infos etc. Including a background file (uncommented in the mwe) works fine. I need a references line for customer id, invoice id and date just above the subject. I don't understand the setupletterlayer command as you can see in the mwe where I use a negative value for x to push it to the right position. I have no idea how x and y are working and what position is for. The same is true for \setupletterframe. I am using: Version beta-0.89.0 (TeX Live 2016/dev Here is my mwe: \mainlanguage[de] \usemodule[letter] \useletterstyle{dinb} \setupletteroptions [%backgroundimage=/home/juh/Bilder/Diverses/Hintergrund.png, language=german] \defineletterelement[layer][reference][rechnung] {Kundennummer: \correspondenceparameter{kd} \| Rechnungnummer: \correspondenceparameter{id}} \setupletterlayer[reference] [ alternative=rechnung, style=\tfx\sans,y=10pt, x=-63mm, y=100mm, position=topleft] \setupletterframe[reference][align=left] \setupletter [toname={Mustermann GmbH\\Peter Mustermann}, toaddress={Haubenweg 3\\12345 Musterstadt}, signature={Jan Ulrich Hasecke}, date=\currentdate, kd={077}, id={2016002}] \starttext \startletter [opening={Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren}, closing={Mit freundlichen Grüßen}, subject={Imagebroschüre Mustermann GmbH}] Hiermit berechne ich Ihnen 100 € für Leistungen. \stopletter \stoptext

numbering problem
by dr. Hans van der Meer 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

The following problem in the numbering of equations, figures, tables has arisen. For the subdivison of the document is wanted the numbering scheme chapter (numbered) section (numbered) subsection (numbered} subsubsection (not numbered) Doing this with \setuphead[subsubsection][number=no], because I find 3 levels of numbering enough. However, the number=no on the last \setuphead has as sideeffect that the chapternumber is missing on equations, figures, tables. Thus for example instead of "table 1.4" I am seeing "Table 4". How can I keep the numbering at 3 levels instead of 4 in still have tables inside subsubsections numbered as "Table 1.4"? Hans van der Meer

macro expansion inside a block
by Andrea De Michele 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Hi all, I want to expand a macro inside a block when the block is written and not when it is used. Here a simple example: \defineblock[myblock] \hideblocks[myblock] \starttext \define\mynumber{1} Some text: mynumber is :\mynumber \beginmyblock This is mynumber inside the first myblock, I want 1 and I obtain: \mynumber \endmyblock \define\mynumber{2} Some text: mynumber now is :\mynumber \beginmyblock This is mynumber inside the second myblock, I want 2 and I obtain: \mynumber \endmyblock \useblocks[myblock] \stoptext This produce: Some text: mynumber is :1 Some text: mynumber now is :2 This is mynumber inside the first myblock, I want 1 and I obtain: 2 This is mynumber inside the second myblock, I want 2 and I obtain: 2 instead I want: Some text: mynumber is :1 Some text: mynumber now is :2 This is mynumber inside the first myblock, I want 1 and I obtain: 1 This is mynumber inside the second myblock, I want 2 and I obtain: 2 It is possible in some way? -- Andrea De Michele
