Define font based on language
by Michal Ondrejáš 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hello I need some help regarding font definitions. The situation is like this: \definefont [issuefont] [SansRegular at 14pt] .... {\issuefont \labeltext{issue} \crlf \documentvariable{issue}} I need to get chinese text into the issue variable, but for that I need to change the font. I need something like this: \def\chooseissufont{% \translate [zh={Sim Sun}, en={SansRegular}]} \definefont [issuefont] [\chooseissuefont at 14pt] Using "zh" is ok, I managed to somehow make ConTeXt accept the "zh" language code. It's not perfect but it's for another topic. I get the text in this way, but the sizing doesn't work. The text is too small in all languages. Any dieas Thank you, Michal

Vertical align in side by side paragraphs
by Tom Harrop 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hello, How can I make both/all columns in a paragraphs environment align flush bottom, e.g. for addressing a letter? I saw a line in the manual about using top=\vfill but I couldn’t get this to work. Should I be using TABLE here? Thanks (again), Tom \starttext \defineparagraphs[Par] [n=2, before={\blank}, after={\blank}] \setupparagraphs[Par][1] [align=flushleft] \setupparagraphs[Par][2] [align=flushright] \startPar \vfill % I hoped this would push bob’s address down Bob’s name \crlf Company \crlf Bob’s street \crlf Bob’s town \crlf Bob’s country \Par My street \crlf My town \crlf My country \blank My phone number \blank Today's date \stopPar Dear Bob, Blah blah blah \stoptext

beta
by Hans Hagen 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hi, I uploaded a beta. This one has an (partially) alternative loader for type one files so that we can apply features as with open type fonts (node mode). I didn't test it extensively but I dont' expect many problems either.

searching in subdirectories with project structure
by Javier M Mora 06 May '16

06 May '16

Hi, (this is my first email to the list) I've created a project for my Thesis. The file tree is: /prod_thesis/ /prod_thesis.tex /envi_thesis.tex /comp_chap1/ /comp_chap1.tex /envi_chap1.tex /images/ /image1.jpg /image2.jpg (...) /tables/ /table1.tex /table2.tex (...) /comp_chap2/ /comp_chap2.tex /envi_chap2.tex /images/ /image1b.jpg /image2b.jpg (...) /tables/ /table1b.tex /table2b.tex (...) (...) envi_chap1.tex has: \startenvironment envi_chap1 \product prod_thesis \usepath[images] \usepath[tables] \stopenvironment comp_chap1.tex has: \startcomponent comp_chap1.tex \product prod_thesis \environment envi_chap1 blah blah blah \placefigure[here][fig:img1]{img1}{ \externalfigure[image1.jpg] } blah blah blah \input tables/table1 blah blah blah \stopcomponent prod_thesis.tex has: \startproduct prod_thesis \environment envi_thesis blah blah blah \component comp_chap1 \component comp_chap2 (...) \stopproduct and finally, envi_thesis.tex has: \startenvironment envi_thesis \usepath[{comp_chap1,comp_chap2}] blah (about styles) blah \stopenvironment If I cd into comp_chap1 dir and exec: texexec -xtx comp_chap1.tex the chapter1 is generated without any problem. All images and tables are inserted ok. But if I cd into prod_thesis and exec: texexec -xtx prod_thesis.tex all images are replace by "dummy images", and tables are not found (raising an error in compilation of document). In prod_thesis compilation (is it correct to say "compilation of document"?), context is looking for file /prod_thesis/tables/table1.tex but isn't not looking in /prod_thesis/comp_chap1/tables/table1.tex. I've created a copy of tables in /prod_thesis/ and document compiled good. But i don't like to pollute prod_thesis directory. Questions: What is the canonical way to keep subdirectories of dependencies in a component? (to be reused later in product compilation) I thought \usepath was to indicate where look for input files. I have to use "\input tables/table1" to find table 1. \usepath didn't work in envi_chap1.tex. Cheers.

Duplex printing problem!
by Geert Verhaag 05 May '16

05 May '16

Hi, I try something like this: *\definepapersize[BOOK][width=270mm,height=195mm]** **\setuppapersize[BOOK][A4,landscape]* while my *\setuplayout* command contains: *location={doublesided,left}* among other settings. I would expect that the BOOK-page on the front and back side would move to the correct corner, but that doesn't seem to happen. Both on the front and back are shifted to the left!? I'would expect them to alter position between left and right! What am I doing wrong? Regards, Gerard Verhaag By the way running context --version yields the following info: mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /home/verhaag/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2013.08.11 20:23

Handling Semi-Bold for Minion Pro in Context (LuaTeX)
by Antoine Cailliau 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hello, I'm trying to use the font Minion Pro for my document. I'm using the simplefont module but I cannot use the semibold font. I guess I'm missing some line in the configuration to bind sb to the semibold variant. Here is a short example of my setup: \definefontalternative[sb] \definefontalternative[sbi] \definefontfeature[default][default] [mode=node, script=latn, kern=yes, palt=yes, tlig=yes, trep=yes, init=yes, size=yes] \definefontfeature[frac][default][frac=yes] \definefontfeature[sups][default][sups=yes] \definefontfeature[onum][default][onum=yes] \definefontfeature[lnum][default][lnum=yes] \definefontfamily [myfamily] [serif] [MinionPro] \definefontfamily [myfamily] [sans] [MyriadPro] \setupbodyfont [myfamily] \define[1]\sup{\feature[+][f:superscript]#1} \defineparagraphs[TwoColumns][n=2, align={hz, hanging}] \setupparagraphs[TwoColumns][1][width=100pt, style=italic, align=left] \starttext \startbuffer[Plato] How you, O Athenians, have been affected by my accusers, I cannot tell; but I know that they almost made me forget who I was--so persuasively did they speak; and yet they have hardly uttered a word of truth. \stopbuffer \startTwoColumns Roman\TwoColumns \getbuffer[Plato] \stopTwoColumns \startTwoColumns Italic\TwoColumns {\it\getbuffer[Plato]} \stopTwoColumns \startTwoColumns Semi bold\TwoColumns {\sb\getbuffer[Plato]} \stopTwoColumns \startTwoColumns Bold\TwoColumns {\bf\getbuffer[Plato]} \stopTwoColumns \startTwoColumns Semi bold italic\TwoColumns {\sbi\getbuffer[Plato]} \stopTwoColumns \startTwoColumns Bold italic\TwoColumns {\bi\getbuffer[Plato]} \stopTwoColumns \stoptext Any help is deeply welcome, Antoine

font features in math
by Ulrike Fischer 04 May '16

04 May '16

When I compile this in context all number are oldstyle numbers: \starttext \font\test= {name:TeX-Gyre-Termes:+onum} \test 0123456789 $\fam0 \textfont0=\test 0123456789$ \stoptext When I run a similar plaintex (or latex) example in texlive 2016 with a new luaotfload then the text numbers are (as wanted) old style, but the numbers in math mode are lining numbers (the font is correct): \input luaotfload.sty \font\test= {name:TeX-Gyre-Termes:+onum} \test 0123456789 $\fam0 \textfont0=\test 0123456789$ \bye So somehow in math the +onum is lost in plain and latex but not in context. What is context doing differently to avoid this? (It can't be the fontloader. I forced luaotfload to use the context files from the minimals.) -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
