Dear list members, After months of trying to figure out what TeX, ConTeXt etc is and how to install everything needed I finally produced my first document. I was thrilled when I saw real pdf pages with footnotes and all! However, I noticed the following problem (no doubt the first of many to come): justification on the right is far from perfect - there are lines sticking out. After going through the manual, I decided that "\setuptolerance[horizontal,verystrict]" in the setup area should do the trick, but it didn't. Any suggestions? (I set up ConTeXt on two Macs, once with teTeX and once with TeXLive, and on a Mac running Mandrakelinux and teTeX - the result was the same (same lines sticking out) on all of them). I am currently writing a textbook and I am looking forward to using ConTeXt. PD Dr.med.

Brave heart.

See the attachment (testpage.pdf). There is a line sticking out in this way on 3 of 6 pages, plus a few minor protrusions of the width of about one character. PD Dr.med.

Great, as usually (I lose it because if I I visit http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-1.htm and from here I click on previous at bottom right, I will go http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-10.htm which is mag 0009. It seems that from mag-0000 you jump to previous mag-0009 and not mag-0010). I've printed and read it ; if I have understand, I 've tried to do something similiar with my \AutoScaled with implicit rettangular shape and one line of text; maybe \AutoSize is not the right way. luigi

Yes, I know (mag-0000 is a meta-magazine... :) ) When I try http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-1.htm I see mag-0000, page 1 of 10 and link previous and next (on bottom right) Click on next: I am at http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-2.htm mag-0001, pag 1 of 10 So on until PAGE 7 OF 10, and click next I am are at http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-8.htm and I see PAGE 8 OF 11. (why?) Again from start http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-1.htm click on previous: I am at http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-10.htm it's mag-0009, and I see PAGE 10 OF 11. So previous of first is last -1 . click on next: mag-0010, which I had missed last night., which is last. Maybe a broken link on site ? luigi

Dear users, it seems that I have some problems with links to magazines. If I go to mag-0000 at http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-1.htm on bottom right there are PAGE 1 OF 10 and link 'previous' If I click on 'previous' I will go to http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-10.htm (mag-0009) and on bottom right appears PAGE 10 of 11 mag-0009 is not last magazine, so from first I jump to last-1 . Is it right ? Does anybody have this 'problems' ? thanks luigi
% AutoSize seem better, but % I must setup ss and tfb inside body % (I need these) so it's no a general macros % Same problems of previous version. % \def\AutoSize#1#2#3{% #1=string #2=horiz.limit #3=startfont \newdimen\Limit \Limit=#2 % \newdimen\FontSize \FontSize=#3 % \doloop{% \setbox800=\hbox{\switchtobodyfont[ss,\the\FontSize]\tfb #1}% \ifdim\wd800 <\Limit\exitloop% \else% \ifdim\FontSize <1bp\exitloop% \else % \advance\FontSize by -0.5bp% \fi% \fi}% \box800\relax% }

can you check if you have hyphenation? there have been pattern problems (changes in names and such) btw, doe anyone object if i ship generic context patterns in the main zip?

Hyphenation is working. I attached one pdf-page showing the result to a previous message which is being "hold for approval". On Apr 15, 2005, at 11:17 AM, Hans Hagen wrote:

Since the attachment showing one pdf-page doesn't seem to pass through, let me describe the outcome: On 6 pages with mostly default settings, there are 3 lines sticking out on the right side by 2- 3 characters ("igt", "mt" and "ng"). In addition, there are about 3 smaller defects (ca. 1 character protrusions). I am using "il1", and "de" as mainlanguage. Interestingly, on 2 pages the defects occur at exactly the same distance from the upper edge. On Apr 15, 2005, at 11:17 AM, Hans Hagen wrote:

Guata obat! This is nice, another swiss user! (sorry gang for this bit of patriotism) In fact if you use \setuptolerance[verystrict] will cause TeX to use as few glue as possible, so the possibilities to stretch a line to have a better breakpoint is lowered. Instead you might use \setuptolerance[tolerant, stretch] or even \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] Kind regards Willi Jörg Hagmann wrote:

I'd suggest \setuptolerance[{horizontal,verytolerant,stretch},{vertical,strict}] German has that many long words that I never get nice columns without "stretch". Grüßlis vom Hraban! (CH-8274 Tägerwilen TG) --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net
Thank you for the welcome and the suggestions - they worked. I misinterpreted the term "strict", thinking it would apply to justification. In the future, I'll try a little harder myself before asking the next question! On Apr 16, 2005, at 12:50 PM, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:
