simplefonts vs typescripts
by david.boerschlein＠juno.com 04 May '15

04 May '15

I have been trying for weeks to set up the Google Noto fonts for ConTeXt. I have tried (but do not understand all the syntax and parameters of) typescripts and simplefonts. It seems that I probably should gravitate towards typescripts because the typescripts seem to be what comes with the distribution of other fonts. Is there detailed documentation describing all the parameters in detail and giving examples? All I found is some vague examples without any explanations in the contextgarden.net wiki. Is there a tool that I can use to look at the .ttf or .otf file and discern the values I need to put into the typescripts? Is there a tool to generate typescripts from the .ttf and/or .otf files or would one be easy for me to write in say Korn, Perl, or Python? Please advise! Thanks.

updating ConTeXt minimals to latest version
by Alan Bowen 04 May '15

04 May '15

Though version 2015-05-01 is now available, running first-setup.sh retrieves only version 2015-04-18. Are we waiting for the latest minimal files to migrate or is the problem at my end? Alan

parsing in child attribute
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 May '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startbuffer[demo] <div id="myspecialid"> <h1>Title</h1> <p>A pragraph</p> </div> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{div|h1|p}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:div \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:h1 \chapter[need-id-from-div]{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext How could I make that xml:h1 reads the attributes from its parent element (a division)? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Mark off boxes
by henman 03 May '15

03 May '15

I am trying to create a form which will use check boxes in it. I tried to use the \bigsquare character for the check box and put in in an itemize list. The \bigsquare character, however does not display however in the itemized list, but will display by itself. What do you normally do for check boxes? Here is a minimal example: ----------------------------- \definesymbol[5]{\bigsquare} \starttext This is a big square: \bigsquare \startitemize[5] \item Choice a does not have a check box. \item Choice b also does not have a check box. \item Not really a choice. No checkbox (bitsquare) here either. \stopitemize \stoptext ----------------

No hyphenation in Bulgarian
by Thomas Floeren 03 May '15

03 May '15

Hi, I have to typeset a Bulgarian document but the hyphenation doesn’t work. The lang-bg.lua file is not loaded, according to the log. (All four lang-bg files are present in /tex/texmf-context/tex/context/patterns/) \usetypescriptfile[type-gentium] \usetypescript[gentium] \setupbodyfont[gentium,12pt] \mainlanguage [bg] \starttext \hyphenatedword{програмираната} \stoptext Do I have to do anything special, in addition to \mainlanguage [bg] ? Russian hyphenation does work. Thanks for any advice. -- Tom

Why is context.mkii out of date?
by Mojca Miklavec 03 May '15

03 May '15

Hi, I created some documents with MKII and started wondering why pdfinfo was showing Creator: ConTeXt - 2013.06.07 17:34 Producer: pdfTeX-1.40.16 CreationDate: Sun May 3 11:18:14 2015 ModDate: ConTeXt - 2013.06.07 17:34 I first thought that I accidentally used TeX Live 2013 and had to tripple-check until I realized that context.mkii actually defines \edef\contextversion{2013.06.07 17:34} Why is that? While I understand that MkII is basically frozen, it would be nice if pdf reported the version of ConTeXt that was actually used. (ModDate might also be wrong. In MkIV it's the same as CreationDate. And in MkIV Creator uses one extra space at the beginning.) Thank you, Mojca

Font problems.
by John Culleton 02 May '15

02 May '15

On the same source file Texlive 2004 context (mkiv) can find files that a more recent stand alone version of context can't. I need to set something somewhere so that the stand alone version can find files in /usr/share/fonts/OTF. I call the stand alone version from a script called "Context" in /usr/local/bin: -------------------------------- . /home/safe/context/tex/setuptex context $1 ------------------------------------- /home/safe is my home directory. Stand alone context is in /home/safe/context. It is dated Jan 27 2015. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!

Right Margin Being ignored bug?
by henman 02 May '15

02 May '15

The following minimal example demonstrate how a series of underscores in not handled right with regards to right margins. I realize there are a few rules command and I plan to use them in the future but for now I am just trying to port old forms into ConText and have them be usable. Any ideas on how I can get ConText to split the lines and honor the righ margin space? Thanks

buffers writing CR only instead of proper newlines (LF)
by Mojca Miklavec 02 May '15

02 May '15

Hi, The gnuplot module recently stopped working because the buffers now seem to write out the CR (0x0d) instead of the LF character for newlines. Here's a minimal example as shamelessly stolen from the module: \long\def\startXheader {\def\stopXheader{\ifx\savebuffer\undefined \else \savebuffer[x-header]\fi}% \dostartbuffer[x-header][startXheader][stopXheader]} \def\resetXheader {\immediate\openout\scratchwrite=\jobname-x-header.tmp \immediate\closeout\scratchwrite} \resetXheader \starttext \startXheader hello bachotex \stopXheader \stoptext The problem is that I end up with a file with what vim shows as "hello^Mbachotex" (^M = character 0x0d / CR). This works properly in TL 2014. Any hints greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Mojca

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt installation problem with Windows 8.1

Dear Mojca, > I don't know installers, so ... I have read first-setup.bat and have recognized that binaries for LuaTeX and LuajitTeX themselves in the zip are not installed. Sorry for my misunderstanding. Best, Akira
