Calculating with variables
by "H. Özoguz" 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hello there, I am new in variables in ConTeXt, so I tried the the following example of two font-sizes wich should have a ratio of 0.7: \setvariables[fontsize][bigsize=17pt] \setvariables[fontsize][smallsize=0.7\getvariable{fontsize}{size}] \definefont[big][name:arial at \getvariable{fontsize}{bigsize}] \definefont[small][name:arial at \getvariable{fontsize}{smallsize}] \starttext \big Dies ist ein großer Text.\blank \small Dies ist ein kleiner Text. \stoptext That does not work, what is the correct syntax? [Second question about this will be much more involving I think ... :), but I will give it his own thread]. Thanks. Huseyin

See attachment, the font is wider, but not bold. See the difference to the intended result, achieved with Corel Draw (with the same font), see attachment. In ConTeXt I had the following code (see attachment for the compiled pdf): ++++++++++++++++ \definefont[arabic][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefont[arabics][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic at 15pt] \definefontfeature[fakebold][extend=1.2] \definefont[arabic][file:bliblablup_0.ttf*arabic,fakebold at 15pt] \starttext \arabic\setupalign[r2l] ??????? ??? ???????? ?????? ???? ???????? ??????????? \blank\arabics\setupalign[r2l] ??????? ??? ???????? ?????? ???? ???????? ??????????? \stoptext ++++++++++++++++ Huseyin

pstrics module again
by DesdeChaves 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Dear sirs The pstrics module don't work anymore. I tried to run this simple code but I found a lot of errors. \usemodule[pstric] \starttext \startPSTRICKS \pspicture(0,0)(20,20) \psline(0,0)(20,20) \psline(1,1)(10,10) \endpspicture \stopPSTRICKS \stoptext This module is no longer supported? There is still any hope of being able to use pstric and some of its extensions (pst-spectra, for example)? Thanks a lot Sorry for my persistence about pstrics module. Thanks a lot Jorge

large delimiters for equation
by Roger Mason 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello, I'd like to have delimiters that match the height of the fraction in an expression like this: \startformula c\Delta T = t\big{(} \frac{c}{v_s} - \frac{c}{v_f} \big{)}. \stopformula I looked in the docs and tried a few likely solutions without luck. Please accept my apologies if this is documented eleswhere. Thanks, Roger

Now all issues with this font are solved (new issues within my actual project will surely follow, but no font-issues, I hope). I have to say once more, that I never had experienced before a such fast and competent software-support, that is at least as valuable as the software itself is! To your comments: Ok, yes, it is not a really normal font. It is specially designed for typesetting the holy quran (which is really no easy work). And there is so absolutely no problem that ALL numbers are mapped to ligatures -> there are no digits in the text of the holy quran :) (all numbers are written out at that time). Thanks again!

Every record should be ideally in the form: ID;page-number;Y-coord. \setposition{id} \message{id:\MPp{id};\MPy{id};\MPx{id}} should work (untested). Then you can parse the log file. Aditya
