\setuppapersize[sixbynine][oversized] \setuplayout[marking=on]
Cool! Is there a way to center the 6″×9″ page on 8½″×11″ paper? I've tried \setuppapersize[sixbynine][letter] but that puts the page in the upper-left corner. Right now I'm using \setuppapersize[sixbynine][sixbynine] and having Acrobat Reader center this on the printed page. (Which might well be the best way to do this.)
use \showframe
stat with defining headers and footers and then set topspace and backspace dimensions
Thanks; now I can see what I'm doing.

you can omit the project file, I use it myself only for documents where I use the same layout for more than one product/Dokument.
I assume that I'd replace every instance of "\project firefly_novelization_proj" with "\environment firefly_novelization_env", correct? But keeping the project file isn't much hassle, and there might be two volumes, so...
How to use th Gentium fonts with ConTeXt have been asked
My use of Gentium is a temporary thing for the OpenOffice mockup; I'm asking for type suggestions on Typophile. For the nonce I'l be satisfied with the Latin Modern fonts.
You forgot \setuppagenumbering[location=doublesided] in your environment to get a doublesided document.
Thanks; that was not obvious from any sample document I've seen.
\setuplayout [backspace=48pt, <snip> footerdistance=12pt]
I'm using \setuplayout [marking=on %backspace=48pt, cutspace=96pt, backspace=36pt, cutspace=84pt, width=fit, height=fit, %topspace=72pt, topspace=48pt, header=12pt, headerdistance=12pt, %bottomspace=144pt, bottomspace=120pt, footer=12pt, footerdistance=12pt] right now. Notice the backspace & cutspace values; the values you gave me defined some sort of left and right marginal areas with a separation between them and the main text area, and I wanted the text area to be 6″×9″. Now I'm thinking there must be a clearer way to express it, something like: width=288pt, height=432pt, header=12pt, headerdistance=12pt, footer=12pt, footerdistance=12pt, left**=48pt, right**=96pt, top**=72pt, bottom**=144pt, something to define an outer marginal area; I don't intend to put anything in the inner margin] where the left** &c. define the distance between the paper's edge and the edge of the text area. Is this what the edgedistance values are?
You could try to read the example layouts on the wiki.
I'm using those for ideas too; I'm still missing some important things though. --Joel
