If I try to compile the folllowing code with XeTeX, it "hangs" (as if it was waiting for further input): \catcode`ð=\active \defð{^^f0} % only hangs for "F0", other numbers are OK \starttext ð \stoptext I didn't manage to test the same example with "plain" XeTeX (tetex is a bit misconfigured since the standalone ConTeXt is installed), but Jonathan says that it runs OK on his computer. Is my system broken again or are some other black forces working anywhere? Thanks, Mojca
Hi Mojca, Trying your minimal file on my Mac OS X, with XeConTeXt or with plain XeTeX, I observe the same hanging... However, the following, taken out of an example sent to you by Jonathan K., works fine with both (indeed commenting out \starttext and \stoptext in plain XeTeX): \starttext \font\lmec = ec-lmr10 at 36 pt \lmec Testing... ð Testing... ^^F0 \catcode`č=\active \defč{^^a3} \catcode`š=\active \defš{^^b2} \catcode`ž=\active \defž{^^ba} Testing... čšž \stoptext while the following results in a PDF file with "Testing... ° 0" \starttext \catcode`ð=\active \defð{^^F0} Testing... ð \stoptext Needless to tell you that all this seems extremely obscure to me...

Hi I am trying to making a scientifique poster in Context. I need some suggestions, foreground an example, to start. Somebody has a nice example to share? What is the correct scales for the fonts? Have a nice day/night Thanks to all Jorge

Hi, I always start tasks like that by setting the paper size and switching \showframe ;). About the font size: the poster should be readable from 1.5 meter distance. It's good to start from at least 24 pt. You surely realise that you have to be extremely concise in your texts, so you may end up at something like 21 pt (which is suboptimal but acceptable). Attached you find an example (figures not included). Feel free to modify it, share and enjoy.
Jorge
BTW, we'd appreciate if you used your real name in the From: header. Have a nice towel day, D.A. -- Science is what happens when preconception meets verification.
David This is a great example. Many thanks. Another question: why only two columns? Thanks a lot Jorge Em 25/05/2006, às 6:51, David Antos escreveu:

Hi Hans, Typesetting the following with XeConTeXt: %% eth-hans-2.tex \starttext Testing... ð \bgroup \let\unicodechar\unicodenumber \catcode`ð=\active \defð{^^F0} \egroup Testing... ð \stoptext gives what is intended, that is a PDF with twice "Testing... ð".

i need a bit more info: = the file eth-hans2.tex (zipped!) = how you call it, yopu say that it works ok with xecontext, so what do you mean with 'context alone' Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
