typeface replacement (font fallback)
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Dear list, I have a ConTeXt document that I need to compile in different Windows computers. Some computers are provided with the Gill Sans MT typeface. The rest are provided with the GillSans typeface. Only one source document should exist (it’s actually a template that merges data). The font family substitution could be written as a fallback mechanism: \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [GillSans] \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [Gill Sans MT] Of course I could set range to something like: {basiclatin, latinextendeda, latinextendedadditional, latinextendedb, latinextendedc, latinextendedd, latinsupplement, letterlikesymbols} Is there a more elegant way of doing this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

enumeration with the Spanish alphabet
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hans, enumerating using the Spanish alphabet lacks a letter between n and o, the ñ. Here is the small sample that shows the missing letter: \mainlanguage[es] \starttext \startitemize[a] \dorecurse{30}{\item \recurselevel} \stopitemize \stoptext Instead of changing the default letter series, how about adding the ñ (or Ñ) after n and before o (or after N and before O) in a new enumeration series named ñ (and Ñ). This is the correct way to enumerate with letters in Spanish (and this is used in legislation, such as in https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-1992-28741#a49) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

aligning \placetable with bidi
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Dear gang, In the following, we middle align both \placetable's: ================ \setupbodyfont[tt] \definefont[ALM][file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 12pt] \setupdirections[bidi=global] \setupxtable[width=1in] \showframe \starttext \startalignment[middle] \ALM \placetable[middle,none]{} {\startxtable \startxrow \startxcell Text 1 \stopxcell \startxcell[align=r2l] النص ١ \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable} \placetable[middle,none]{} {\righttoleft \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell[align=r2l] النص ١ \stopxcell \startxcell Text 1 \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable} \stopalignment \stoptext ================ Only the first \placetable is aligned correctly; how do we get the second one -- \righttoleft table -- middle aligned? See attached. Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Is there any way to construct "Set-OCG-State Actions" with ConTeXt? (See Section 8.5 Actions in the PDF Reference.) I admit that this is an advanced feature of PDF and that most viewers apart from the Adobe Reader are not capable of handling OCGs correctly. Kind Regards, Christoph

Use of a layer for a letterhead
by jdh 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

I have created a letterhead layer, which works well for the first page of a multi-page document. I want it to be repeated for each page of a document. How can that be done or does anyone have any pointers or tips on how I can do that? Thank You

Support of PDF Optional Content Groups (Layers)
by Christoph Reller 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hi, Has ConTeXt any support for producing a PDF with "optional content groups" (OCGs)? In Adobe's jargon OCGs are also known as "layers" (not to confuse with layers in ConTeXt). See Section "4.10.2 Making Graphical Content Optional" in the PDF Reference 1.7 available at http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/pdf_referen… I cannot find anything on the Wiki nor in the ntg-context emails and grepping through the source code for "ocg" does not give reasonable results. Cheers, Christoph

extra unwanted interline space in list
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startitemize[n] \item \input zapf \item \startitemize[a] \item \input knuth \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext For some strange reason, the first line from 2.a. has an extra interline space after it. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Macros in \start-stopTABLE
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Dear gang, In the following, the first table works and the second one does not: ===================== \setupbodyfont[tt] \definefont[ALM][file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 12pt] \setupdirections[bidi=global] \define\NCR{\NC \righttoleft \ } \define\NCL{\NC \lefttoright \ } \setupTABLE[c][each][width=1in] \starttext \ALM \placetable[right,none]{} {\startTABLE \NC Text 1 \NC \righttoleft النص 1 \NC\NR \stopTABLE} \placetable[right,none]{} {\startTABLE \NC Text 2 \NCR النص 2 \NC\NR \stopTABLE} \stopalignment ===================== gives "I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything." What do I need to do to get this macro right here? Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

IMHO there is a bug in itemgrops
by Vasiliy Chirkov 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Minimal example: \starttext \defineitemgroup[Enum][levels=3] \setupitemgroup[Enum][each][fit][symbol=n] \setupitemgroup[Enum][1][stopper={}] \setupitemgroup[Enum][2][stopper={***}] \setupitemgroup[Enum][3][stopper={******}] \startEnum \item item 1 \startEnum \item item 1.1 \startEnum \item item 1.1.1 \item item 1.1.2 \stopEnum \item item 1.2 \stopEnum \item item 2 \stopEnum \stoptext When option 'fit' is used with nested lists, calculated max item widths are saved in reverse order. Maxitemwidths are saved at first pass in \stopitemgrup in reverse order, while are read at second pass in \startitem grpoup in sequental order. Am i right? Best regards, Vasiliy
