Gang, during the last weeks, I've been working on two modules to support ancient (polytonic) Greek. THey are finished now and will be ready for download at Patrick's site soon. They require the latest ConTeXt beta 2005.03.16 (actually, some parts from these modules have been integrated into the main distribution). Moreover, I've written a MyWay about the process. Even if you're not particularly interested in Ancient Greek (rumor has it that some people might not be), this may be useful for you as it explains how I enabled support for Unicode TrueType fonts and utf-input, so this should be valid for other Unicode vectors as well. Patrick has agreed to host this MyWay at his site: http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/GreekInContext.pdf Hope this will be useful to some of you! Best wishes Thomas

Hello Hans,
my browser says: file does not begin with %pdf ...
this is strange. I just checked with my browser (safari, firefox) and they downloaded the file well. And 'file' gives me: $ file GreekInContext.pdf GreekInContext.pdf: PDF document, version 1.5 Anybody else having trouble? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
This has happened to me sometimes (not on this file though), and is usually caused by Mozilla's cache-ing the document in memory. You could try restarting the browser, that usually works for me. Patrick Gundlach wrote:

I have no time right now to check what server you are running, but I had this type of problem on my Suse/Apache server with some MS/Acrobat combinations. It works well with Linux/OS-X. I had to change the mime settings of pdf files to xpdf for Apache to make things work. Matthias On Mar 30, 2005, at 7:55 AM, Patrick Gundlach wrote:

Hello Matthias,
I have no time right now to check what server you are running,
debian/apache 2
but I had this type of problem on my Suse/Apache server with some MS/Acrobat combinations. It works well with Linux/OS-X.
I had to change the mime settings of pdf files to xpdf for Apache to make things work.
xpdf or x-pdf? I have set the mime type of the file to application/x-pdf for now. Is this the correct way? Patrick (clueless) -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net
x-pdf should work fine. I am still clueless about this problem, too. In my class of 30, only some Windows users had exactly this problem. I could never reproduce it on our Campus machines, and never on a Mac either. I only know that changing the mime type has fixed it since. Maybe Hans or Tobias can retry now?

doesn't work (yet); the message comes pretty fast (i use firefox); i just tried ie and it first downloads the file and then acrobat bombs; maybe byteserving is not working ok in the garden 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello again,

you put me on the right track. It looks as if there is some bug with acrobat (reader) plugin/chunked web server responses. http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25960 Patrick (it should work now, I have disabled pdf compression on server) -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

this is strange. I just checked with my browser (safari, firefox) and they downloaded the file well. And 'file' gives me:
I have also the same problems. In FireFox 1.0.2/Linux with AR7pre plugin, the AR plugin starts and states: "File does not begin with '%PDF-'".
