spurious text produced by TABLE
Dear posse, TABLE produces a spurious dot in the following (look closely at the center of the big box on the right). How can I get rid of this? If this is a bug, Is there a workaround?

Hello, I am trying to install the new ConTeXt version using Gerben't iinstaller on the Mac. From what I see, I have to use the TeXLive 2005 (beta) distribution, and I have to install the new Latin Modern fonts manually. The latter is causing me headaches, I downloaded the fonts from https://www.pragma-pod.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip but I don't know what to do with them, i.e. where to put them and what spells to invoke to make them work. Thanks, Matthias
I know not of a LM release newer than what is in my TeX i-Package: LM 0.98.3 but maybe I am not up to date with my knowledge? G On Jun 2, 2005, at 18:30, Matthias Weber wrote:

Thanks, Gerben. So this means that the new LMs are now in your i-Package, this is good news. The bad news on my part is that using other fonts like \starttext \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] Hello, World? \stoptext doesn't work anymore (it produces ugly bitmap fonts) and I have no clue what's wrong with this time.

After doing some gardening at the really useful ConTeXtGarden, I found that \starttext \usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[pos] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] Hello world! \stoptext which used to work before doesn't work neither on my Mac nor at live @ contextgarden.net. How does one access these fonts? (And sorry for blaming gwTeX for this!) Matthias
I don't know but it looks like a lot of palatino stuff is in teTeX and thus in gwTeX. Maybe it is just a matter of a map that has to be enabled? G On Jun 2, 2005, at 23:01, Matthias Weber wrote:

It is really not Gerben's fault! At some point the pos-typescript has been deprecated (at least according to the comments in tex/context/base/type-pre.tex). However, the typescript file is now enclosed in \starttypescriptcollection[previous] ... \stoptypescriptcollection These might give you some hint about how to proceed. --- The more modern way of solving this problem is to forget about the old pos collection and leverage the user value by embracing the novel typescript paradigm. (Oops, sorry, my marketing-bs-generator seems to be breaking in.) The modern way to get to use the free URW fonts is to run context/data/type-tmf.dat (or, rather, run texfont and give type-tmf.dat as a batch file). This will enable using a lot of nice fonts in the URW collection. However, there are two gotchas: 1. With gwTeX, running the command texfont --encoding=ec --batch type-tmf.dat at least previously resulted in some errors about unknown files. They may be fixed with an ugly hack: replace all occurences of TEXMFMAIN by TEXMFTE in type-tmf.dat. 2. After the fonts are installed, you have the fonts. Nice. But no typescripts. Not so nice. I have made some typescripts for Palatino/Helvetica/Courier and SchoolBook/Helvetica/Courier combinations. There might be something already done in the ConTeXt distribution, but I have not found anything that useful. (I can Wiki them if someone finds it useful.) Good luck! - Ville
