the new simplefonts stuff
by Sandra Snan 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

This is probably a pretty basic question, but how do I find out the name of the font that \definefontfamily expects in the third argument? For example, \definefontfamily [dejavu] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] works fine and sets the text in DejaVu Serif, but that’s not a name I can find with mtxrun –scripts font: ellen% mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern='*DejaVu*'|wc -l 28 ellen% mtxrun --script fonts --info --list --all --pattern='*DejaVu*'|grep -i "DejaVu Serif"|wc -l 0 mtxrun --script fonts --info for Deja Vu doesn't show that identifier anywhere. I want to find out what, for example, Bookman is called. \definetypeface [five] [rm] [serif] [bookman] works fine and sets the text in some font that sure looks a lot like Bookman to my eyes, but \definefontfamily [five] [serif] [bookman] doesn’t work at all and the text doesn’t show up. ellen% mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern='*bookman*'|wc -l 5 I’ve looked all over for this... even tried understanding font-sel.mkvii (with mediocre success). Sandra PS Extra thanks if there’s a way to get ligatures and protrusion to work for it.

multi-colunm table issue
by Thomas De Maet 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hello ! I'm interested for some time (say 2-3 years) in the resolution of a specific bug, described in the documentation here http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE#Multipage_TABLEs as *Beware:*Split tables often begin not on the page (or in the column, if you use them) where they/could/start, but on/in the next one. This is a known limitation due to the complicated calculation of remaining space on the page. That won't become better before this calculations are newly written in Lua. (Said Hans on 2010-09-24.) Simply, do you have any shedule for this issue to be solved ? Many thanks in advance, Thomas

Two issues with character alignment
by Maggyero 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

I have found two issues with character alignment (see the following minimal example): one when \\ is used in a cell instead of \crlf, another one when \high or \low are used in a cell. Is it a bug? \starttext \setupTABLE[% aligncharacter=yes, alignmentcharacter=., align=middle] \subject{Reference} \startTABLE \NC Foo\crlf bar \NC \NR \NC 1.1 \NC \NR \NC 11.1 \NC \NR \stopTABLE \subject{Double backslash issue} \startTABLE \NC Foo\\bar \NC \NR \NC 1.1 \NC \NR \NC 11.1 \NC \NR \stopTABLE \subject{Sub/superscript issue} \startTABLE \NC Foo\high{bar} \NC \NR \NC 1.1 \NC \NR \NC 11.1 \NC \NR \stopTABLE \startTABLE \NC Foo\low{bar} \NC \NR \NC 1.1 \NC \NR \NC 11.1 \NC \NR \stopTABLE \stoptext

bug in hyphenation?
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 Sep '14

Dear list, the following sample shows bad hyphenation in the first body line and in many linenotes: \showframe \definepapersize[HippPaper][width=6in, height=9in] \setuppapersize[HippPaper] \setupnote[linenote][rule=off, paragraph=yes, split=verystrict, scope=text, inbetween=\hskip1.5em, compress=yes] \setupnotation[linenote][numbercommand=, width=broad, alternative=serried, distance=1em] \starttext \startlinenumbering \showhyphens{testing paragraph} \dorecurse{50}{This\linenote{That} is\linenote{was} a\linenote{one} testing\linenote{nesting} sentence\linenote{table}. } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext If this is not a bug, what am I missing here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Spurious pages in makeups
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Dear gang, For a doublesided book, I get spurious pages in this setup: =============== \starttext \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \definemakeup[title][align=middle] \definemakeup[copyright][align=flushleft] \setuphead[chapter][number=yes,page=left] \startmakeup[title] \tfd Title Page \stopmakeup \page[left] \startmakeup[copyright] Author \crlf http://www.website.com/ ISBN: 978-0-9907820-0-1 \blank Copyright © 2014 Author \blank All rights reserved. \blank Front Range Press. \blank Printed in the United States of America. \stopmakeup \title{Table of Contents} \stoptext =============== What we want: copyright page (left sided) immediately after title page (right sided), followed immediately by TOC (right sided). I.e., Title+Copyright+TOC with no page breaks What we get: copyright page (right sided) two pages after title page (right sided), followed by a blank page, followed by TOC (right sided). See attached pdf. How do I suppress the spurious pages (2+1)? I need to keep doublesided for obvious reasons... I could force this without makeups but would like to take advantage of makeups if I can. Thanks in advance!

Remove left and right offset from nested frames?
by Mica Semrick 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Hello! Given: \starttext \framed[frame=on,width=local,offset=0in,loffset=0in,roffset=0in,frameoffset=0in]{ \framed [frame=on, location=middle, align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] % maybe also stretch {% {\tfd My Name Here} } \hfill \framed [frame=on, location=middle, align={flushright,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] % maybe also stretch {% 1234 Tree Ave. \#407, Beach City, CA 99876 \\ (123) 456-7890 \ \bullet \ \goto{mail@email.com}[url(mailto:mail@email.com)] } }\stoptext The two nested \framed commands are aligned as I'd like them, but I'd like to remove the small gaps so the text in the first nexted frame sits flush to the left of the text area and the second framed sits flush right to the text area. In other words, I'd like to remove the small gaps from the left and right of the frames. Is that possible? Best, Mica

Internal clickable links
by Keith McKay 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Colleagues I'm setting up a document which at the end of each chapter will have a Glossary of word definitions. To get to these definitions one would click on the word in the chapter which would take them to the page where the definition of the word is in the Glossary. Once the user has done this, they could then click on the definition to go back to the original word in the chapter. \footnote works after a fashion, however I would like the word to be clickable and the definition not to appear at the bottom of the page. It's not really what I want. Is there another way to get the functionality I'm looking for? Thanks Best Wishes Keith McKay

setups not working

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startsetups[footssetups] \setupinterlinespace[line=5ex] \stopsetups \setupnote[footnote][setups=footsetups] \starttext \footnote{\input zapf}\input knuth \stoptext AFAIK, the footnote should have extra interline space. But I don’t get it. I’m using beta from 2014.08.29 20:57. Am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Framed text and page breaks
by Keith McKay 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Colleagues I've been struggling today with trying to change paragraph width of selected paragraphs within the body text of a novel I'm typesetting. I thought that the way to do this would be by framing the text that I would like to reduce the paragraph width off. However the framed text doesn't seem to honour page breaks and just seems to disappear off the page bottom. Also the framed text starts on a new page which I do not want to happen. Any suggestions on how I may go about solving this problem? Best Wishes Keith McKay Here is an example tex file which shows these effects: \definepapersize[book][width=5.06in,height=7.81in] \setuppapersize [book][] \setuplayout [width=middle,backspace=12.5mm,cutspace=12.5mm,height=middle,topspace=12.7mm,bottomspace=12.7mm] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank} \midaligned \framed[frame=off,width=5cm,align={width,nothyphenated,verytolerant,stretch},before=\blank]{\dorecurse{4}{\input ward \blank}} \dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank} \stoptext
