EnglishRule and Lua / Simplefonts module
Dear Hans and Wolfgang, I have started experimenting with the Lua engine through TeXShop. I use \EnglishRule in a Newsletter to separate major items. When I use it in the attached file it works as always when I use the ConteXt engine (TL2009) and in my minimals installation it works fine using MinimalsConTeXt engine and MinimalsXeConTeXt engine. When I switch to using the simplefonts module in MinimalsLua engine the \EnglishRule does not behave properly. Also the text switches to italic. I have attached a small file and if you comment out the lines and switch between the engines you can see what I mean. Thanks for any help, Best wishes, Charlie

MkIV works fine for me, update your minimals to the last ConTeXt version and tell us if the problem remains. Wolfgang
Dear Wolfgang, I deleted my Minimals folder and did a complete re-install following instructions on ConTeXtGarden curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh etc. I also downloaded simplefonts using the sh ./first-setup.sh --extras="t-simplefonts" I still get the results as described below.

Can you send the log file. Wolfgang
Here it is: Thanks for taking the time. Charlie On 24 Nov 2009, at 15:36, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

There is nothing I can see here which produce this results. What do you get with the following lines on the command line: mtxrun --script font --list dejavuserif mtxrun --script font --list dejavuserifnormal Can you also try to delete the luatex cache (everything below /Users/charlesdoherty/context/tex/texmf-cache/) and regenerate (luatools --generate) it. Wolfgang
Dear Wolfgang, I deleted the luatex cashe. I got the same output. Then I ran the scripts. This is the result: dejavuserif dejavuserif /Library/Fonts/DejaVuSerif.ttf dejavuserifnormal dejavuserifitalic /Library/Fonts/DejaVuSerif-Italic.ttf Charlie On 24 Nov 2009, at 17:07, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

This explains why you get italic text, you can try to copy the fonts in your TeX directory (dont't forget 'luatools --generate' and 'mtxrun --script font --reload' to let ConTeXt know there are new fonts) and look if this works or you write \setmainfont[DejaVu Serif][regularfont={*}] Wolfgang
Hi Charles and Wolfgang, I have noticed the same problem, as the one Charles is describing, with the « English rule » or the « swelled rule » and mkiv, and I think that this has nothing to do with fonts. Maybe, it is rather with the way \localhsize is defined in recent versions of mkiv: the « rule » appears in a rather starnge way on different pages. My minimal example test file: %%%%%%%%%%% %% defining swelled rule, or English rule... \setupMPvariables[SwelledRule][height=2pt,breadth=.667\localhsize] \startuniqueMPgraphic{SwelledRule}{height,breadth} x1 = 0; x2 = x6 = .333x4; x3 = x5 = .667x4; x4 = \MPvar{breadth}; y1 = y4 = \MPvar{height}/2; y2 = y3 = \MPvar{height}; y5 = y6 = 0; fill z1--z2--z3--z4--z5--z6--cycle; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \def\SwelledRule{\blank% \setlocalhsize\midaligned{\reuseMPgraphic{SwelledRule}}\blank} %% end swelled rule \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth \par \blank \SwelledRule \input knuth \page} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%% Best regards: OK On 24 nov. 2009, at 13:57, Charles Doherty wrote:

Sorry, Wolfgang I didn't attach the PDF file in order to pass through the mailing list. I get English rules of various sizes placed almost at random somewhere on the page: I am running the latest release on Mac OS X 10.6.2: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.45.0-2009111904 ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.24 10:13 MKIV fmt: 2009.11.24 int: english/english Best regards: OK
