Hi all, I have a specific problem with a typescriptfile that may be of general interest (the problem, not the typescript). I have collected a number of font definitions into one file and have observed that certain fonts cannot coexist. One small example: \starttypescript[greekcanonica] % font definitions \stoptypescript \starttypescript[GreekCanonica] \definetypeface[MyGreekCanonica] \stoptypescript and \starttypescript[greekcardo] % font definitions \stoptypescript \starttypescript \definetypeface[MyGreekCardo] \stoptypescript cannot be defined in the same typescriptfile. If I comment A out, B will work; it A is uncommented, ConTeXt will complain about missing font definitions for B. So I would suspect that in processing typescripts, names are somehow truncated to 9 or less characters. So these questions arise: 1. Can this be changed? (We had a similar behavior with names of modules, which was changed a while ago, I think.) 2. Is there a workaround? Is it possible to add other parameters to the \definetypeface[] line? Best Thomas
Replying to my own ooooooold question: this problem has disappeared in newer versions of ConTeXt, as I just found out -- thanks for taking care of it! Taco, one wish for the bug collector: could we have a place for resolved bugs (or is it there and I just didn't find it)? I knew there had been a bug report wrt this problem, and it would've been reassuring to see a "resolved" tag attached to it. Thanks, and best Thomas On Oct 30, 2005, at 8:59 AM, Thomas A.

The collector has bugs with a status of 'resolved', but at the moment, not even 25% of the bugs make it to the collector. If a ug is pronounced fixed before I can free the time to add an item to the collector, then I generally do not bother adding it at all (my time is too precious for that). That accounts for about 60% of the missing entries. The other bugs not in the collector are simply because I missed the bug report or did not have time yet to add them. Taco
