simplefonts doesn’t select the font
by Pablo Rodríguez 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startbuffer[testbuffer] \setuppapersize[A7] \usemodule[simplefonts][size=10.5pt] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \starttext This isn’t \TeX\ Gyre Pagella. \stoptext \stopbuffer \typesetbuffer[testbuffer] \stoptext Only with decimal font sizes, simplefonts (and probably the standard font mechanism [which I don’t know how to use it]) isn’t able to select the font in the buffer. I guess this might be a bug. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

unwanted extra interline space in typing environment
by Pablo Rodríguez 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Dear list, I have a document (http://ediciones-criticas.tk/pdf/criticas-context.pdf) which is shows a weird issue: some typing lines have an extra interline space added. It can be found on the first code samples on pages 11 and 12 from the above-mentioned document (sorry, but I have no other way to recreate the issue). My configuration is the following: \setuptyping[margin=yes,lines=yes,blank=line,space=on] How can avoid the unwanted extra interline space in the typing environment? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Feature-Request: Sort bibliography entries in alphabetical order by the entries' “short” value
by Michael Scholtz 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Hi, the publication list can be configured with `\setuppublications` to be sorted by cite order (`sorttype=cite`) or the order of the publication entries (`sorttype=bbl`). With the following setup the "short names" of the publication entries are used for cite references: \setuppublications[ criterium=text, sorttype=cite, % <– "short"? refcommand=short, numbering=short, ... ] The short names are set using the `s` attribute: \startpublication[ s={RFC2616}, ... ] ... \stoppublication A cite with this setup would look like "[RFC2616]". In a long bibliography list it is useful if the entries are sorted in alphabetical order by these short names to allow a faster lookup of publications. Currently I'm using the "filter" module and a Tcl script to sort the publication entries ( http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/126939/7074 ), but it might be useful if something like a `sorttype=short` option would be added. Regards, Michael

problem with Persian feature
by Mingranina Gingranina 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Dear All, Hello, I am completely new to ConTeXt and after searching and exploring the ConTeXt Garden wiki pages and other resources thoroughly, I decided to write my first document in Persian which reads: \enableregime [utf-8] \definefontfeature [persian] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab, init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,clig=yes, mark=yes,mkmk=yes,kern=yes,curs=yes] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[arial][feature=persian] \mainlanguage[pe] \setupbodyfont[arial,12pt] \starttext \pagedir TRT\bodydir TRT\pardir TRT\textdir TRT این یک آزمایش است. \pagedir TLT\bodydir TLT\pardir TLT\textdir TLT This is a test. \stoptext As there are some UTF-8 characters in the document I have attached the document to this message too. The problem is that on my system the Persian part of the output is a set of Persian Isolated characters, but on http://live.contextgarden.net the Persian part does not appear at all. Could somebody please let me know what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Mingranina

How to prevent moving figure on the next page?
by Dmitriy Tokarev 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Hi list, I need help to undestand this effect: If setuphead[chapter][page=no] and after figure start a new chapter, than figure is moved to the page 2, although on page 1 space is enough. Thanks. \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \setuphead[chapter][page=no] \showframe \starttext \chapter {One} \dorecurse{2}{\input{knuth}} \placefigure[here][figure]{Description} {\externalfigure[figure][width=5cm,height=2.0cm]} % if setuphead[chapter][page=no] and this comment transform to text, than figure moves to page 1. What do I need to figure always placing on page 1? \chapter {Two} \stoptext -- Dmitriy

kerning with buggy libertine
by Philipp Gesang 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Hi Hans, this is a bug report thanks to Khaled: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/126650/14066 In short: the font loader applies the kerning of libertine version 5.3.0 even though this appears to be broken in the font. Context translation of the example: \definefontfeature [kerning] [mode=node,smcp=yes,kern=yes] \definefont [libertineserifsmallcaps] [file:LinLibertine_R.otf*kerning] \definefont [libertinesanssmallcaps] [file:LinBiolinum_R.otf*kerning] \def\demotext{Vacillate Vaccine Vapour Vanish Va...} \starttext {\libertineserifsmallcaps \demotext}\par {\libertinesanssmallcaps \demotext}\par \stoptext (Doesn’t occur in base mode.) The technical details are in the thread Khaled references. Best regards, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Metapost labels

Hi all, with LuaTeX, Version beta-0.77.0-2013073017 (rev 4639) and ConTeXt ver: 2013.08.06 15:50 MKIV beta fmt: 2013.8.7 int: english/english Context seems not to be able to typeset Labels anymore. Yesterday, before an Update, all worked as expected. Minimal not working example: \starttext \startMPpage draw fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor red; label(textext("\CONTEXT"),origin); \stopMPpage \stoptext Or am I missing something happened in the last four weeks? Thanks Greetings Lutz

\completepublications in component creates wrong hyperlinks
by Marco Patzer 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

Hi, if a \completepublications call is used in a component, the hyperlink, which is supposed to link to the bibliography, instead links to a (probably non-existing) pdf file named after the component. \startbuffer [sample] @BOOK{Eijkhout1991, title = {\TeX\ by Topic. A \TeX nician's Reference}, publisher = {Addison-Wesley}, year = {1991}, author = {Victor Eijkhout}, address = {London}, keywords = {general}, } \stopbuffer \savebuffer [list=sample, file=bibliography.bib, prefix=no] \startbuffer [component] \startcomponent * \completepublications [criterium=text] \stopcomponent \stopbuffer \savebuffer [list=component, file=bib-component.tex, prefix=no] \setupinteraction [state=start] \setupbibtex [database=bibliography] \starttext Some text. \cite [Eijkhout1991] %% creates a hyperlink to bib-component.pdf \component bib-component %% this one works %% \completepublications [criterium=text] \stoptext Marco

\externalfigure doesn't find mps file in subdirectory
by Sanjoy Mahajan 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

\externalfigure won't find a metapost eps file in a subdirectory, if the mps has the numerical (.1) extension. Here's a minimal example (test.tex): \setupexternalfigures[directory={fig}] \starttext \externalfigure[simple.1] \stoptext where fig/simple.1 is from a simple .mp file that fills a 1-cm box (see below). The resulting test.pdf shows the gray box name : simple.1 file : simple.1 state: unknown Only this combination of circumstances triggers the problem. Giving the full path ("\externalfigure[fig/simple.1]") works fine, as does renaming the file to simple.mps (within the fig/ directory), as does using instead simple-1.pdf (made with mptopdf). Thus, I have several workarounds, but it might be useful to figure out what is not working. I've noticed this problem on and off for a while now, but only now made a minimal example. (Is the path-searching code trying to append extensions and directory prefixes at the same time, and thus not finding the file?) This is with MkIV 2013.05.28 from vanilla TL2013. For completeness, here's simple.1, although any file will show the problem equally well: %!PS %%BoundingBox: 0 0 29 29 %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 28.34645 28.34645 %%Creator: MetaPost 1.803 %%CreationDate: 2013.08.04:0841 %%Pages: 1 %%BeginProlog %%EndProlog %%Page: 1 1 0 0 0 setrgbcolor newpath 0 0 moveto 28.34645 0 lineto 28.34645 28.34645 lineto 0 28.34645 lineto closepath fill showpage %%EOF -Sanjoy
