Also, IIRC, shouldn't the grey border surround the entire page, and extend to the edge? I am getting a thinner border in the shape of an "L," with white space at the page edge.
works ok here, puzzled
Bruce, did you try opening the file in Acrobat? It's based on a very nice 2-page spread layout, and the page structure is immediately apparent once you see it that way.
On this, the only thing I changed was to use a different font, since palatino doesn't seem to work from ConTeXt in my new installation.
One word: texfont. It took me a while to figure out how to actually use it on my MacOSX (TeXLive) install, but it works very nicely, once you figure out a couple stumbling blocks. I actually wrote a My Way tutorial on it, but it ended up being a bit too cranky. Hans took it more as a bug report, and said he'd work on some of the issues I brought up. So I'm not sure whether I should release it as-is, or if I should wait for texfont to change.
I know this was discussed previously, but don't remember the bottomline point. Shouldn't these fonts that are included with teTeX and TeXLive just work in ConTeXt, without needing any intervention by the user? If yes, whose responsibility is this? Am using Gerben Wierda's OS X installer, but have a feeling this isn't his problem. Or maybe it is?
basically what I did was: set teTeX = /usr/local/teTeX # my tcsh setting of the root tex install cd $teTeX # wherever you have your root tetex directory sudo chgrp -R admin texmf-local # make your texlocal directory sudo chmod -R g+w texmf-local # group-writeable to facilititate changes cd texmf/fonts # copy the fonts into the local font directory for munging the names cp -R afm tfm type1 vf ../../texmf-local/fonts/ cd ../../texmf-local/fonts/afm mv bit bitstrea # correct a TeXLive 7 naming bug gunzip -r * # I think these are shipped as gzipped files sudo texhash cd # or to a safe home directory where temp files can be created # next command is all one line: texfont $teTeX/texmf/context/data/type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --fontroot=$teTeX/texmf-local --install --makepath it'll make a bunch of font charts in the form of .tex files. To run these (and use the palatino fonts in s-mag) you ought to have \autoloadmapfiletrue in your cont-sys.tex file. I *think* that'll get you started.
