Hello, Please post such questions to the list, not to me personally. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: gururaj Date: 3 Dec 2007 16:12:42 -0000 Subject: context I couldn't configure TexnicCenter for ConTeXt. I am using SciTe instead which works fine. I have another problem. When I had Miktex installed on my machine I could use the macro package "kanlel" which gives the output in Kannada, my native language. But with ConTeXt I am unable to use the macro package. How can I make this package work with ConTeXt? %%%% I would suggest you to use XeTeX or LuaTeX for Kannada, I don't see any advantage in supporting pdfTeX to do that. You need: - the proper font - perhaps hyphenation patterns (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/hyphenation/sanhyph/): Hans would need to add support to ConTeXt somehow, but *if and only if* you: - are ready to test (to change files and regenerate formats) - provide enough feedback (if you ask a question about TeXnicCenter and people answer it on the list, it's polite to answer that it either didn't work and what went wrong or that you managed to compile successfully) - provide enough information (what exactly doesn't work, where does it fail, what's the error message) - specify what you need (figure captions probably need to be translated into semething as well) This is a sample (which should be simplified): % engine=xetex % this ugly portion of code could be shorter, perhaps reduced to % \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Devanagari MT] % \setupbodyfont[myface] \definefontfeature[devanagari][script=deva] \starttypescript[serif][devanagari] % replace "Devanagari MT" in "name:Devanagari MT" with the font you have installed \definefontsynonym[DevanagariMTRegular] [name:Devanagari MT] [features=devanagari] \definefontsynonym[DevanagariMTBold] [name:Devanagari MT/B] [features=devanagari] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][devanagari][name] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [DevanagariMTRegular] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [DevanagariMTBold] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [Serif] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic] [SerifBold] \definefontsynonym[SerifSlanted] [Serif] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldSlanted][SerifBold] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[devanagari] \definetypeface [devanagari] [rm] [serif] [devanagari] [default] \stoptypescript % the ugly code ends here \usetypescript[devanagari] \setupbodyfont[devanagari,15pt] \starttext % no idea what this means, but it looks non-latin at least नेपाल चार जात छत्तिस वर्णको साझा फूलवारी हो । \stoptext Mojca
