fontsize changes not understood

Can someone explain to me the changes in fontsize in the following example? Enclosing the fontswitches in a group did not change the behaviour. \setupbodyfont[dejavu,12pt] \def\MarkMasterA{\inmargin[location=left]{\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[9pt]\red Master\egroup}} \def\MarkMasterB{\inmargin[location=left]{\bgroup\usebodyfont[9pt]\red Master\egroup}} \starttext \startsection[title=\MarkMasterA First title] \input hawking \MarkMasterA \input hawking \stopsection \startsection[title=\MarkMasterB First title] \input hawking \MarkMasterB \input hawking \blank contextversion=\contextversion \stopsection \stoptext In the first section the absolute value of 9 pt appears not to be honoured but it looks as if there is a reduction relative to the surrounding font. In the second section the size does not change and looks even bigger than the first one above. I am baffled and do not understand why not all fontsizes are the same absolute 9pt as requested?

\setupbodyfont[dejavu,12pt] \def\MarkMasterA{\inmargin[location=left]{\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[9pt]\red Master\egroup}} \def\MarkMasterB{\inmargin[location=left]{\bgroup\usebodyfont[9pt]\red Master\egroup}} \starttext \startsection[title=\MarkMasterA First title] \input hawking \MarkMasterA \input hawking \stopsection \startsection[title=\MarkMasterB First title] \input hawking \MarkMasterB \input hawking \blank contextversion=\contextversion \stopsection \stoptext

In the first section the absolute value of 9 pt appears not to be honoured but it looks as if there is a reduction relative to the surrounding font. In the second section the size does not change and looks even bigger than the first one above.

I am baffled and do not understand why not all fontsizes are the same absolute 9pt as requested? When you flush the margin text in the heading its style (e.g. \tfa) is added to your font size for the margin text.

To get rid of the size change from \section in your example you can add the "reset" keyword to \switchtobodyfont. \def\MarkMasterA{\margindata[inleft][style={\switchtobodyfont[reset,9pt]},color=red]{Master}} Wolfgang

Thanks, I really didn't know that, it could not spot it in my copy of "Fonts in Context". But although reset works for \switchtobodyfont, it is not working in \usebodyfont[reset,9pt] in the second section. There it keeps the size derived from the section title. Both commands however, are reported to inherit from \setupbodyfont (where the reset is named). Should that be correct? Hans van der Meer

Why do you think \usebodyfont can be used to change the font size in your document, is this mentioned in a manual? There it keeps the size derived from the section title. Both commands however, are reported to inherit from \setupbodyfont (where the reset is named). Should that be correct? IIRC \usebodyfont can be used to preload a typeface at the begin of a document which make switching to it later in the document with \switchtobodyfont or \setupbodyfont faster but this also means settings like the font size have no effect. The reference manual shows "inherits from XXX" in such a case because a) it is true that the command inherits its values from another command b) it’s faster to document (can be changed but one has to check which arguments are valid).

Hi HansvdMeer, There are many ways to answer your question. Maybe, the first and simple one is that we may want to have some narrow paragraphs in the middle of our work, as quotations, for example, or whatever you want. So, it is a question of method : to put it in the preamble as \setupbodyfont, and \switchbodyfont on demand is probably easier than populate your code with numerous other commands. See here the 3.11.2 paragraph of this Wikibook in French : https://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/ConTeXt#D.C3.A9finir_une_police_et_changer_de_...)

New subject: win64 : luatex is not recognize as an internal command

Dear list, I am currently testing and experimenting such things as a brand new installation (Context Process 0.63 2016.05.22 15:18) on a Windows x64 computer. I have made a new installation of ConTeXt Standalone (with TeXWorks), downloading the *.zip file, etc. 1) Download the context-mswin.zip in C:\[...]\Documents; 2) mkdir 'context' => cd 'context' 3) Unzip it and launch context-setup.bat in the new C:\[...]Documents\context 4) Then, go to \context\tex and launch 'setuptex'; 5) Then again, cd \context\tex\texmf-win64\bin and do : 'context --generate', and 'context --make'. As a result, the compilation after context --generate is 0,988 s. (and much more than 1 sec with 'context --make' command, which needs usually more than 30 sec. to compile) and after context --make I obtain a \dumpdump message with this cryptic sentence (in French) : 'luatex' is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable program or a command file. And when I try to do this : \ starttext \startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}] This is my {\em first} ConTeXt document. \stopsection \stoptext Here is the result : mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: No such file or directory I have missed something ... but what is it ? I am deeply sorry to bother you with this question, but I don't clearly see when, where and what I have missed. Maybe I'm tired ... JP

I believe that conemu is a Windows-specific terminal emulator.

i meant that writing data to the console (from tex) can be responsible for additional runtime; it depends (sometimes) on the font used on the console (osx), ansi control sequence interception, and buffering (the standard wondows console doesn't buffer, conemu on windows does, on other operating systems it depends) .. tex writes in chunks (no line buffering) because it's often progress info (although context does bit of optimization) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Hans and others, 1) Yes, I have set the PATH to /context/tex/texmf-win64/bin (set PATH=%PATH%). For this ConTeXt installation, I run ConteXt on Windows x64, on an Intel i5Core, with 8Go RAM on a 500Go Barracuda 7200t/mn hard drive. I'll try it on a Mac OS X Mavericks or Yosemite (in virtualization). I use to test ConTeXT on a Intel i3Core Lenovo Laptop, where ConTeXt is installed on Ubuntu and Windows 10 and run without any problem. 2) Each time I do a 'context --generate' on the Intel i5Core, the process is quick (less than 10 s.), but with 'context --make', the proces takes more or less than 35 sec.

I answer to Hans, Alan and me. In order to install Context on Windows 10, don't forget to restart the system when you have installed ConTeXt MK IV (Standalone) and set all the stuff (PATH, etc.). I used to know about restarting the opsys on Windows, but I've forgotten it... To Hans : total runtime for 'context --make' = 13,513 s.

New subject: win64 : luatex is not recognize as an internal command

There are three things which I don't fully understand either: 1. Why are there three files on " http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/ " which is reachable via the " Download ConTeXt " link? There are [ ] context-setup-mswin.zip http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip 2016-05-23 22:36 21M [ ] context-setup-win32.zip http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-win32.zip 2016-05-23 22:36 21M [ ] context-setup-win64.zip http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-win64.zip 2016-05-23 22:36 21M Wouldn't *win32* and *win64* files alone suffice? I am wondering what the *mswin* files is for. It is a little bit confusing. Especially because there is also another folder " [...] contextgarden.net/setup2/ ". Again with [ ] context-setup-win32.zip http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup2/context-setup-win32.zip 2016-05-23 22:36 21M [ ] context-setup-win64.zip http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup2/context-setup-win64.zip 2016-05-23 22:37 21M 2. Is the " setup2 " folder really necessary? Last thing is about the problem with finding lua... In your description you don't mention using " first-setup.bat ": 1) Download the context-mswin.zip in C:\[...]\Documents; 2) mkdir 'context' => cd 'context' 3) Unzip it and launch context-setup.bat in the new C:\[...]Documents\context 4) Then, go to \context\tex and launch 'setuptex'; 5) Then again, cd \context\tex\texmf-win64\bin and do : 'context --generate', and 'context --make'. I mean I see your point that you want to use it standalone. So... 3. Why don't you try it the simple way? I am on Win10 x64, but this should work for every supported Win system: 0. I donwloaded context-setup-win32.zip http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-win32.zip from " setup " folder. 1. Extracted " context " anywhere. I used short paths: " C:\context " or " D:\context ". Renamed to ConTeXt for readability. 2. Used command (cmd.exe ideally as Admin) and went to my CTX path: " D:\ConTeXt\ " 3. Entered first-setup.bat -> I also added " --modules=all ". CTX is around 400 MB now. I am sure it's fully worth it! 4. After download finished I navigated deeper to: " tex\texmf-win64\bin " like " D:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin " 5. Created a document " test.tex " right inside " bin " folder. 6. Edited it with editor and only enterd: " \starttext Hello world \stoptext " 7. Save the document 8. Entered " context test.tex " 9. And finished was my first PDF. Maybe you could try the same...

3. Why don't you try it the simple way? I am on Win10 x64, but this should work for every supported Win system:

0. I donwloaded context-setup-win32.zip http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-win32.zip from " setup " folder. 1. Extracted " context " anywhere. I used short paths: " C:\context " or " D:\context ". Renamed to ConTeXt for readability. 2. Used command (cmd.exe ideally as Admin) and went to my CTX path: " D:\ConTeXt\ " 3. Entered first-setup.bat -> I also added " --modules=all ". CTX is around 400 MB now. I am sure it's fully worth it! 4. After download finished I navigated deeper to: " tex\texmf-win64\bin " like " D:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin " 5. Created a document " test.tex " right inside " bin " folder. 6. Edited it with editor and only enterd: " \starttext Hello world \stoptext " 7. Save the document 8. Entered " context test.tex " 9. And finished was my first PDF.

Maybe you could try the same...

There are three things which I don't fully understand either:

1. Why are there three files on " http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/ " which is reachable via the " Download ConTeXt " link? There are

Wouldn't *win32* and *win64* files alone suffice? I am wondering what the *mswin* files is for. It is a little bit confusing.

I don't like mswin and would like to switch to win32 to make it consistent with win64, but I need the blessing from Hans first.

...

Especially because there is also another folder " [...] contextgarden.net/setup2/ ". Again with

context-setup-win32.zip 2016-05-23 22:36 21M context-setup-win64.zip 2016-05-23 22:37 21M

2. Is the " setup2 " folder really necessary?

No. Long time ago Hans asked me if we could switch to rsync from the MinGW project rather than the one based on cygwin's dll. (Then we probably both forgot about this.) The "setup2" is experimental setup bundling rsync from MinGW, the idea was to provide testing setup that would replace the old one. As soon as I get a green light, I could remove "setup", rename "setup2" to "setup" and only leave the new binaries there. (I can also remove "setup2" in principle.) Mojca

it's more that we never decided on a moment of switching ... the updater should work with --mingw and hen we default to it we only need to change local rsync_variant = "cygwin" into local rsync_variant = "mingw" in mtx-update.lua we could just try that (in the worst case we need to have a few attempts) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

New subject: win64 : luatex is not recognize as an internal command

Thanks a lot for clarifying this. Well I think it's great to keep CTX open for devs or experimental purposes. Imho the point is that the download section could use a slight tune up. In fact, to make the installation as easy as possible for new users, the main structure might be divided by operating system. Win, Lin, Mac and Experimental or Developer. Right now Wiki looks like: Installation * download ConTeXt http://standalone.contextgarden.net/ * download area http://dl.contextgarden.net/ Me as a new user didn't know which one to take at first. This might be merged. one single donwload button to the ftp and then Win, Lin, Mac, Developer, Experimental. I would love to help with contextgarden wiki, but I am student and it took a long time learning CTX so far. But some day... Only a few words for usability ;-) Thanks for this great piece of idea and greetings from germany to the whole CTX team. Seba Am 25.05.2016 um 10:46 schrieb Mojca Miklavec:

Hi Seba, 1) On Windows, I unzip context-setup-win64 in C:\[Users]/MyName/Documents/ConTeXt (or something alike, anywhere in C: or D:); 2) cd context/tex; then : context-setup.bat 3) There is no need to get Admin rights to launch context commands, but one has to be carefull before launching the approriate first-setup.bat --modules=all --fonts=all --goodies=all --engine=luatex (which I do in order to use some modules, or fonts) : one has to go to /context/tex/texmf-win/bin or /context/tex/texmf-win64/bin before launching 'context --generate' and 'context --make' to build the trees (including fonts trees). 4) I have not forget to set the PATH; But it seems (only in this peculiar installation, because I run ContExt daily on others machines ) that ConTeXt refuses 'context --generate' and 'context --make', and therefore to parse *.tex files.

There are a few subtleties to manage in order to install ConTeXt on Mac OS X. The 'setuptex' config is not the same as a Linux one. But documentation does exist on the Net.

New subject: win64 : luatex is not recognize as an internal command

Hello Jean Pierre, Have you added C:\context\tex\texmf-win64\bin (or whatever dir you installed ConTeXt) directory to PATH env variable ? Best regards Joseph Canedo From: Jean-Pierre Delange Sent: ‎Tuesday‎, ‎May‎ ‎24‎, ‎2016 ‎5‎:‎57‎ ‎PM To: ntg-context@ntg.nl Dear list, I am currently testing and experimenting such things as a brand new installation (Context Process 0.63 2016.05.22 15:18) on a Windows x64 computer. I have made a new installation of ConTeXt Standalone (with TeXWorks), downloading the *.zip file, etc. 1) Download the context-mswin.zip in C:\[...]\Documents; 2) mkdir 'context' => cd 'context' 3) Unzip it and launch context-setup.bat in the new C:\[...]Documents\context 4) Then, go to \context\tex and launch 'setuptex'; 5) Then again, cd \context\tex\texmf-win64\bin and do : 'context --generate', and 'context --make'. As a result, the compilation after context --generate is 0,988 s. (and much more than 1 sec with 'context --make' command, which needs usually more than 30 sec. to compile) and after context --make I obtain a \dumpdump message with this cryptic sentence (in French) : 'luatex' is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable program or a command file. And when I try to do this : \ starttext \startsection[title={Testing ConTeXt}] This is my {\em first} ConTeXt document. \stopsection \stoptext Here is the result : mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: No such file or directory I have missed something ... but what is it ? I am deeply sorry to bother you with this question, but I don't clearly see when, where and what I have missed. Maybe I'm tired ...
