doublestroke
by Elspeth McGullicuddy 26 Dec '13

Hi, I'm writing math and I'm using "modern", and I would like to use "doublestroke". There is an example here, http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2008/037124.html, but I think it's not likely to work since families aren't used anymore. I really can't think how it should be done, and all I've found would be through some substitution mechanism as described in "fonts-mkiv.pdf". I could use an example of replacing a "vector" of a font, by another font. There might be things too with "simplefonts" and "fallback" mechanism, but I haven't seen examples with math. Regards, Chris

pdf format
by H. van der Meer 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

In the past, when viewing the pdf produced by ConTeXt in the viewer of my browser (Safari) there is shown one page at a time. Old ones still do this. But pdf produced nowadyas is different, 4 pages appear in the browser window. The same happens for example looking at the latest LuaTeX manual. Has something changed in pdf production? Perhaps some parameter that the Adobe-plugin of the browser lets show the pdf that way? And if this is indeed the case, how can I get the original behaviour of one page per view back?

by Willi Egger 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

Hello all, did anyone else experience this: fonts | names | globbing path '/Users/willi/Library/Fonts/**.ttf' fonts | names | globbing path '/Library/Fonts/**.ttf'Segmentation fault: 11 I struggle with this issue since I stepped over to a new Mac book Air. Is there something tricky in the Library/Fonts directory? May be a subfolder could cause this? Kind regards Will

Request for metapost
by DesdeChaves 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

I know that metapost can send the variables "version", "number", "string", "point", "quad", "boolean" and "path" to Context. "triplet" variable can't pass. It will be very usefull if metapost can send a array to context. \startMPcode numeric x[]; for i = 1 upto 10: x[i]:=random; endfor passvariable("array",x); passvariable("version","1.0") ; passvariable("number",x[1]) ; passvariable("string","whatever") ; passvariable("point",(1,2)) ; passvariable("triplet",(1,2,3)) ; passvariable("quad",(1,2,3,4)) ; passvariable("boolean",false) ; passvariable("path",fullcircle scaled 1cm) ; \stopMPcode \ctxluacode{inspect(metapost.variables)} \ctxcommand{mprunvar("array")} Thanks in advance Jorge

Thanks in advance Jorge **(www-math.univ-poitiers.fr/~*phan*/downloads/metapost/) .

by Shree Devi Kumar 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hello All, Xetex allows the use of input maps such as xetex-itrans for taking input in ITRANS transliteration and converting to devanagari . xetex-itrans package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/generic/itrans/ . Information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/xetex-itrans I am planning to use context-m-iv for some Sanskrit documents. Is it possible to use the input maps with Context m-iv ? Thanks, Shree Devi

(critical edition) notes alphabetically sorted
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi Thomas, Luigi and Hans, I’m aware that this isn’t exactly a feature for critical editions, but this is a useful feature for educational material. This is a minimal sample: \mainlanguage[en] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en,agr}] \setuppapersize[A5] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[DejaVu Serif] \definenote[dict] \setupnote[dict][n=2,rule=off, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[dict][number=no] \starttext Πρῶτον δεῖ θέσθαι τί ὄνομα\dict{ὄνομα, -ατος, τό: noun} καὶ τί ῥῆμα\dict{ῥῆμα, -ατος, τό: verb}, ἔπειτα τί ἐστιν ἀπόφασις\dict{ἀπόφασις, -εως, ἡ: negation} καὶ κατάφασις\dict{κατάφασις, εως, ἡ: affirmation} καὶ ἀπόφανσις\dict{ἀπόφανσις, -εως, ἡ: statement} καὶ λόγος. \stoptext Having these notes alphabetically ordered would be extremely useful for language teaching- Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
