Czech patterns in TeXlive2003
Hello, Petr Olsak has changed slightly Czech pattern file czhyph.tex for TeXlive2003, it's a bit `Babelized' now. It produces \errmessage for Babel's \addlanguage being \undefined. It also contains several ugly hacks to make both plain and LaTeX read \v and \' syntax for Czech accents, and finally it reads czhyphen.tex containing real patterns. The result is that generating ConTeXt format ends with the \errmessage. Simple workaround is to change alias in cont-usr.tex to pattern files from czhyph.tex to czhyphen.tex. My discussion with Petr Olsak suggests to make a more systematic correction: to add a test into czhyph.tex and make it directly read czhyphen.tex if ConTeXt is detected. This needs two things to make sure: 1. Is it OK to read patterns with \v and \' syntax into ConTeXt? 2. Is there a way to detect ConTeXt in order to put into czhyph.tex something like: \ifx\<something-typical-to-detect-ConTeXt>\undefined \else % for ConTeXt \input czhyphen.tex \endinput \fi Is there a more systematic/clean solution? Or shall I ask Petr Olsak to change this in the czhyph.tex file? Thanks, D.A. -- Science is what happens when preconception meets verification.

Ah ... i just found that out yesterday and had on my agenda to ask you to look into it. I have now adapted cont-usr.tex and commented: % \definefilesynonym [lang-cz.pat] [czhyph.tex] % \definefilesynonym [lang-cz.pat] [skhyph.tex] maybe you can trigger on: \contextversion Thanks for taking care of it.

Hello, we have prepared a new czhyph.tex file. It detect ConTeXt and reads patterns directly in that case. ConTeXt and TeXlive2003 users, just replace czhyph.tex with the attached file. (Hope it works :-) Regards, D.A. -- For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
Hi all, does anyone know how to expand the distance between the last text line on a page and the first footnote? With many thanks for any hint Albrecht
Hi all, I have a problem with the new installed lm fonts: With \setupfontsynonym [Serif][handling=pure] \setupalign[hanging] \usetypescript [all] [latin-modern] [texnansi] \setupbodyfont[reset] \setupbodyfont[cmr,11pt] all works fine except hanging. What did I make wrong? Many thanks in advance, Albrecht

looks ok to me, how about the slovak patterns? I assume that this patch goes into the tex live repository Thanks Hans

I'm pretty sure that's exactly the same problem, I'll write Petr Olsak about that. We have forgotten our former federal frieds :-)

Sure, I'll do my best to push Olsak to propagate the changes. Regards, D.A. -- Some people claim that the UNIX learning curve is steep, but at least you only have to climb it once.

Hello, I've tried to propagate the changes into TeXlive, so I posted it to the tex-live@tug.org mailing list. The list seems completely dead, even its long-time members I know of report that their posts get lost. Do you have an idea what happens there? Thanks, D.A. -- For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
