Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The usual fixes. New is a first version of a new multi column handler. Pretty experimental but eventually it will replace the current multi column routine, which is fact is then an instance, think of \definemixedcolumns [columns] \unexpanded\def\setupcolumns {\setupmixedcolumns[columns]} The simple columns routine is already replaced (by an instance) as is the multi column handler of itemize. Hans ps. Does someone know of a latin font that has different glyphs sets? \definefontfeature [solution-demo] [goodies=demo, % needs version from latest beta featureset=default] \definefont [SomeTestFont] [texgyrepagellaregular*solution-demo at 10pt] \definefontsolution [solution] [goodies=demo, solution=experimental, method={normal,preroll}, % method={normal,preroll,split}, criterium=1] \starttext \enabletrackers [builders.paragraphs.solutions.splitters.colors] \startsimplecolumns \showfontkerns \setuptolerance[verytolerant] \start \SomeTestFont \input zapf \par \stop \column \start \SomeTestFont \startfontsolution[solution] \input zapf \par \stopfontsolution \stop \stopsimplecolumns \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
