in this example: \starttext bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \placeformula \startformula K_1 \rightarrow E(f) = \frac {K_1(f)} { f}\,. \stopformula \placeformula \startformula K_1 \rightarrow \startmathcases \NC f \NC for \NC $f \ll PS$ \NC {\rm (flow limited transport)} \NR \NC PS \NC for \NC $f \gg PS$ \NC {\rm (diffusion limited transport),} \NR[+] \stopmathcases \stopformula bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \stoptext the label `(2)' of the second equation is not aligning properly with the right margin of the body text (and the previous equation label). what am I doing wrong here? joerg -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

fluctuating baseline of header text
by j. van den hoff 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

I observe a slight fluctuation of the baseline of text in the page header when going from one page to the next. a minimal example follows: \setupheader [style=\smallbodyfont\ss\it] \setupheadertexts [section] \setuppagenumbering[location={header,margin}, style=\bfc] \starttext \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \section{Introduction} bla \page[yes] \stoptext in this example (and with this font) the problem is only occuring when toggling between pages 6/7 or 7/8 (at sufficient zoom it's easy to see), i.e.the header is shifted downward on page 7. in other docs with different fonts it happens across multiple pages. my guess would be it has to do with the digit heights in the different fonts and the fact that the page numbers are much larger than the heading, but that's only a guess. can someone confirm the problem? thx,joerg -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Define a new type section with metafun
by Fabrice Couvreur 26 Dec '14

Hi, I wish red separation is exactly in the middle of the dial and the title of the section. Then, the line is too long, it should not exceed the boundary of the ellipse.

running titles in the first chapter page
by Andrea Valle 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

Dear list, I’ve written this, which looks pretty good (to me): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-jBCRU8-kGjTk0xY0kwZEsyY3c/view?usp=shari… <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-jBCRU8-kGjTk0xY0kwZEsyY3c/view?usp=shari…> One main thing left: how do I remove running titles from the first chapter page? I have this now: \setupheadertexts [Introduzione a SuperCollider] [] [] [{\getmarking[chapter]}] Thanks Best -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - StudiUm Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.fonurgia.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanderaalle/sets/ --> http://vimeo.com/vanderaalle --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- "This is a very complicated case, Maude.

system fonts access under macosx (again)
by j. van den hoff 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

as advised I have installed standalone context in order to get better support of system fonts under macosx. I now have had the following happen to me: 1. after installation of `standalone' and straightening out unrelated problems with `\usemodule' usage I managed to get proper support of -- that's the specific font I wanted to use -- the `Optima' font family. Notably I got italics where I wanted them. so far so good. 2. then I discovered that standalone context does not include the very nice `EB Garamond' font (although there are some files in the context tree apparently related to tweaking some things related to this font) -- contrary to texlive where `context` finds this font just fine. 3. instead of putting this font into the standalone `context' tree (which I tried initially without luck -- on second thought I probably would have needed to do a `mtxrun --script fonts --reload' ...) I installed these (otf) fonts systemwide. (as an aside: is there a way of notifying standalone context of the location of the `texlive' font directories?) 4. contrary to what I seem to have read in the documentation somewhere (??) the fonts were than _not_ looked up "on demand" (i.e. where not found automatically when compiling the document wanting to use this font) but only found after I did a manual `mtxrun --script fonts --reload' 5. now `ebgaramond' works fine _but_ out of the `Optima' fonts now only the regular font is found and reported by `mtxrun ... fonts` if I interpret this output correctly: optima optimaregular /System/Library/Fonts/Optima.ttc index: 4 optimanormal optimaregular /System/Library/Fonts/Optima.ttc index: 4 optimaregular optimaregular /System/Library/Fonts/Optima.ttc index: 4 so I seem back to square one in this respect :-(. I can only assume that this has been caused by the `--reload' run (see item 1. above: intitially `optima' italics worked) and/or maybe still fragile support of these `ttc' (true type collection) files? just a guess. what am I doing wrong _this_ time? thx, joerg -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

text height
by Andrea Valle 23 Dec '14

Dear, sorry for the dumb question. how do I increase text height by reducing the space under footer without changing the other ones?

useattachment
by Andrea Valle 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Dear list, In the previous version of a programming manual I wrote I used this definition: \define[1]\Ex{\externalfigure[code/#1] \useattachment[ex][code/#1.scd] \attachment[ex] } In this way I could have \Ex{sintesi/sineArray} where sintesi/sineArray.scd is the path of code example and sintesi/sineArray.pdf is the path of a pdf figure with coloured syntax . I’m revising the manual and using mk IV. Now, concerning the attachment, in mk IV the marker on the generated pdf always points to the same .scd file. But while reading the pdf in Acrobat Reader if I’m passing the mouse over the marker the displayed path seems to be the correct one. Am I doing anything wrong here? Thanks a lot Best -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - StudiUm Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.fonurgia.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanderaalle/sets/ --> http://vimeo.com/vanderaalle --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- "This is a very complicated case, Maude.

access to system fonts under MacOSX
by j. van den hoff 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

newbie question: how can I get access to fonts installed outside the TeX tree under MacOSX (10.9 to be precise)? mtxrun --script font --list --name --pattern=* shows lots of fonts (so they are recognized by context, I'd guess) but the simple-minded approach, namely to trying something like \starttypescript [stix] \definetypeface [stix] [rm] [serif] [stix] [default] \definetypeface [stix] [ss] [sans] [adventor] [default] \definetypeface [stix] [tt] [mono] [cursor] [default] \definetypeface [stix] [mm] [math] [stix] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[stix] \setupbodyfont[stix,12pt] fails with `unknown library stix'. obviously I am doing something wrong -- or is this a luatex problem not being able to find the system fonts? thx, joerg -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

typesetting math—two queries
by Alan Bowen 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

1. Is there a generally preferred math font to use with Antykwa Poltawskiego? 2. What are the best practices for setting inline math that causes variation in the interline spacing? E.g., in a paragraph such as: \starttext Mauris placerat eleifend leo. Mauris placerat eleifend leo. Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{$y=\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{26}$}. The \quote{$\sqrt{2x}$} Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{$\sqrt{2}x$}. Mauris placerat eleifend leo.\quote{$\sqrt{12}$}Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{$\sqrt{1/2}$}. Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{$x=-{1/2}-\sqrt{1/ 8}+\sqrt{{3/8}+\sqrt{20}}$}. \quote{$-\sqrt{6}$} Mauris placerat eleifend leo. \quote{${a/x}+{a/y}+2=b+2$}. \stoptext Alan

Strange bug with overviewpage module.
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hi, Some time ago, Hans had helped me to write an 'overviewpage' module, that makes it easy to show a overview of the important slides at the end of a presentation. I have tweaked this module slightly to be able to save an arbitrary page by using \saveoverviewpage{reference} and reuse the page by \useoverviewpage{reference} An example is: \usemodule[overviewpage] \setuppapersize[S4] \setupframedtext[rulethickness=3pt] \starttext \startframedtext \input ward \stopframedtext \saveoverviewpage{ward} \page \input tufte \page \scale[width=0.5\textwidth]{\useoverviewpage{ward}} \stoptext However, when I save a page that contains a framed box (as in the above example), the box looses its right frame when it is displayed again (see page 3 of the attached pdf). It appears that the left edge is twice as thick. Any idea why this is happening and how I can avoid this? Thanks, Aditya
