Dear Hans, many thanks for the beta from 2014.06.11 15:52. All wrong page breaks due to subtitles that I reported to this list (I think they have been four) seem to be fixed with this beta. Many thanks for your work, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

fonts and function in math mode
by Flavien Lambert 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Hi everyone, could you tell me how to use the Ubuntu font for the math command \max in the following example? \definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [Ubuntu] [regularfont=ubuntu,italicfont=ubuntuitalic,boldfont=ubuntubold] \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [math] [Ubuntu] [preset=math:lowercaseitalic,tf=name:ubuntu] \definefontfamily [mainface] [math] [Latin Modern Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext $ abc \max$ abc max \stoptext I am also interesting by knowing where I can find all the features "preset=math:" possible. Best regards, Flavien.

question about italic correction
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear list, I would like to show the difference with italic correction (as well as with expansion and protrusion). I have the following sample: \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] \definefontfeature[noitlc][default][itlc=no] \setupitaliccorrection[global,always] \starttext {\em of}) \adff[noitlc] {\em of}) \stoptext Is there no way to show italic correction enabled and disabled in the same document? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

alternative \about for \section?
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startsection[title={Section}, label={different section label}, reference={key:section}] \about[key:section] \stopsection \stoptext I thought that label would give me an alternative section title in references. Is there any way to get it? BTW, what is the purpose of label? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Pagebreak forced after mixedcolumns (new bug?)
by Joshua Krämer 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear list, I have updated to the latest beta today, and I can no longer put text after \stopmixedcolumns on the same page. \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startmixedcolumns Left \column Right Right \stopmixedcolumns Something after the columns \stoptext There should be no pagebreak after \stopmixedcolumns. It works with \start... \stopcolumns, but then the column break (\column) is ignored. It worked before with mixedcolumns, but I don't know when I updated the last time. Kind regards, Joshua

bug with \setuplist?
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Dear list, sorry for posting this issue twice, but I wonder whether it went unnoticed because I added it in an answer to an already replied message. I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \setuplist[part][after={\blank[samepage,big]}] \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{4}{\part{Part} \chapter{Chapter} \chapter{Chapter}} \stoptext AFAIK, no \part could be the last line of a page in the contents. Well, I’m afraid this isn’t the case. Could anyone confirm whether I am doing something wrong or this is bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

distinguishing index entries according to function by using \setupregister
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

In MkII, one could configure the index to have different types of page entries, e.g. roman and italic, by using \setupregister, as in the example at <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupregister>. That doesn't work with a fairly recent MkIV (2014.05.17 beta). I see that it's a long-standing feature request: <http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg67495.html> So, it is probably not on the short-term feature list. But, if it is on the list, please let me know, as I'll keep using it for my textbook! Otherwise, I'll just make all the page entries the same style. The perfect is the enemy of the good, especially after 19 years... (Right now with 2014.05.17 beta, using the feature, say as \index[definition::]{commutativity}commutativity, gives an entry alphabetized according to the "definition::" key.) Regards, -Sanjoy

Samples updates and bibtex entries
by Rik Kabel 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

Hans, The file samples.tex requests updated bibliography data for some of the samples. Since the file is a few years old, it is not clear if this information has already been provided. If it is still needed, here are entries for three of the sources and a note on the source of another, along with corrections for a few typos. The first bibtex entry was lifted from Google Boooks, the other two from the ACM Digital Library. @book{dawkins2000unweaving, title={Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder}, author={Dawkins, R.}, isbn={9780547347356}, url={http://books.google.com/books?id=ZudTchiioUoC}, year={2000}, publisher={Houghton Mifflin Harcourt} } @book{Hofstadter:1985:MTQ:537101, author = {Hofstadter, Douglas R.}, title = {Metamagical Themas: Questing for the Essence of Mind and Pattern}, year = {1985}, isbn = {0465045405}, publisher = {Basic Books, Inc.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, } @book{Tufte:1990:EI:78223, author = {Tufte, Edward}, title = {Envisioning Information}, year = {1990}, isbn = {0-9613921-1-8}, publisher = {Graphics Press}, address = {Cheshire, CT, USA}, } reich.tex is a list of the voice samples from Steve Reich's 1995 composition /City Life/. Corrections for dawkins.tex, douglas.tex, and knuth.tex: In each set, the first line is taken from the current sample file and the second is a correction. The dawkins.tex and douglas.tex corrections are based on scanned images on Google Books, the knuth.tex correction is based on my personal copy of the book (first edition second printing). dawkins.tex is from pages 145 and 146 of the book come down head. Everybody on the right had to will it to be come down heads. Everybody on the right had to will it to be to sit down. Then those who remained were divided into two, to sit down. Then those that remained were divided into two, I also note that all of the quotes in the Dawkins source are single-quotes, not double-quotes as in dawkins.tex, \quote{}, not \quotation{}. This is unusual for a book printed in the USA by an American publisher, so perhaps Dawkins wanted it that way. douglas.tex is from page 260 of the book of his forthcoming books, from the typesetting and layout of his forthcoming books|=|from the typesetting and layout not become as well known or available. not become as well known or as available. Not only is the concept exiting and clearly well executed, Not only is the concept exciting and clearly well executed, There are a few other differences, but these are most likely due to publisher's style sheet and the lack of availability of logotypes for TeX and Metafont. knuth.tex is from page 50 of the book from the chaff and separate the sheep from the goats. from the chaff, and separate the sheep from the goats. -- Rik Kabel

\useMPlibrary[dum] in 2014-06-05 MKIV
by Rik 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

The following works fine in TL13, producing a PDF with the expected rectangle full of colored balls under the TL viewer, Sumatra PDF viewer, and Firefox, as it did under the prior MKIV beta (2014-06-01). Under the current MKIV, it produces a PDF that displays no image when viewed with Firefox or Sumatra PDF, but shows an irregular blob of colored balls (which might be cropped to the expected triangle) when viewed with the TL viewer or Chrome. \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \externalfigure[xxx] \stoptext So, I would suppose that something has changed in the way the image is put into the page. Can somebody suggest an option to reverse this behavior, either in ConTeXt or in the viewers? -- Rik Kabel

\MetaFont in 2014-06-05 MKIV
by Rik 06 Jun '14

The following produces two lines with the Metafont logo when using TL13, but fails in the current MKIV with the identical complaint for either of the lines commented out: Type1: Could not understand Type1 font: C:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/fonts/type1/hoekwater/mflogo/logo10.pfb \starttext \METAFONT \MetaFont \stoptext -- Rik Kabel
