\pm set too low in MkIV?
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 May '14

07 May '14

Continuing my recent theme of finding glyphs too low or too high: The \pm symbol looks like it is set too low, in MkIV. \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext $\pm2$ \stoptext The minus part of the sign lies below the baseline, which looks odd relative to the horizontal stroke of the "2." In MkII it is fine, as is the equivalent latex or plain tex (using LatinModern). I don't know whether the problem lis in the font metrics or in the positioning by MkIV, because I haven't yet been able to convince tex, latex, lualatex, or luatex to use the same font (LM math). In MkIV, the font is (from pdffonts): NSOXNN+LatinModernMath-Regular CID Type 0C Identity-H Can anyone confirm the problem? -Sanjoy

first xcell dimension to large in xtable with external figure.

Dear Sirs, I would like to write a tecnhical document that looks like the DIN standards style. I found in this Wolfgang's message ( http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/076348.html) inspiration for do that. All works great if the sentence \externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=3cm] are commented, otherwise the cell "Doc No." is to large relatively the other cells in the last column. What is wrong with this code? thanks in advance.

LuaTeX-Plain and OTF/TTF Fonts
by Aire Funvake 06 May '14

06 May '14

Dear Group, Thank you for your time. I'm starting out with TeX/ConTeXt, but want to arrive via LuaTeX (`luatex-plain.tex/fmt`). Managed to build, move and use `luatex-plain`. Have the same problem under MacOSX & Win7 (here is the Win-specific decription -- `%CTX%` is my ConTeXt root): Placed some fonts under `%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\minion\` & `%CTX%\tex\texmf-fonts\otf\myriad`. Executed, the following commands, recognising there might be redundancy, but not sure): mtxrun --script fonts --update --force mtxrun --script fonts --update --simple mtxrun --script fonts --update mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=minion Result: minionpro minionprobold MinionPro-Bold.otf minionprobold minionprobold MinionPro-Bold.otf minionproboldit minionproboldit MinionPro-BoldIt.otf minionprobolditalic minionproboldit MinionPro-BoldIt.otf minionproit minionproit MinionPro-It.otf minionproitalic minionproit MinionPro-It.otf minionpronormal minionproit MinionPro-It.otf minionproregular minionproregular MinionPro-Regular.otf `hello.tex` - luatex-plain test file: %[luatex-plain] Hello % font\T =minionproregular at 12pt\T Hello world. \bye Executed: luatex-plain hello.tex Result: fonts : font with asked name 'minionproregular' is not found using lookup 'name' fonts : unknown font 'minionproregular', loading aborted ! Font \ch=minionproregular at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad. Looked in `%CTX%\tex\texmf-cache\luatex-cache\generic\fonts\data` at the file `luatex-font-names.lua`. The fonts were listed. Then deleted the `luatex-font-names.luc` file, added the full paths to the fonts in front of all the file names in the `.lua` file. Running `luatex-plain hello.tex` again, works now as expected (it seems to recreate the `luatex-font-names.luc` automatically). Setting `OSFONTDIR` before font update and/or before running `luatex-plain`, have no observable effect. So, I do have a manual fix/solution. But is there an easier way? Thanks in advance, -- Aíre Funvake

[Metapost] Using mkIV and metapost to produce SVG
by ralf.waldvogel＠pta.de 06 May '14

06 May '14

Dear all, as I have seen on the mailing list digest, my original (HTML) mail has been scrambled. Sorry for that. Here the repost: I would like to produce an svg file from a Metapost input file using some of ConTeXt's typesetting features (esp. using System OTF Fonts) using something like: \startbuffer[buffer:dummy] \start \startcolor[white] \framed[align=middle,width=28mm,frame=off] { \SansBodyBold % Font definition done earlier Test to \par rendered \par } \stopcolor \stop \stopbuffer % .... \startuniqueMPgraphic{mp:margin} picture text; text := btex \getbuffer[buffer:dummy] etex; draw text shifted(-11.8mm,-4.8mm ); % Some more fancy drawing her \stopuniqueMPgraphic Can I render that with MetaPost to SVG? Is it possible to render text as paths not as referenced glyphs in MetaPost/ConTexT? Unfortunately I have to stick to SVG as the resulting output format. Converting from PDF to SVG is not an option at the moment due a) performance considerations and b) trouble with generated font names in the resulting ConTeXt PDF file (inkscape as well as pdf2svg produce real strange results). Please let me know, if you need furhter information. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards, Ralf http://www.pta.de Mit ca. 2.460 Erfahrungsberichten aus 45 Jahren erfolgreicher Projektarbeit!

text with background does not break properly around float
