Hans and all other font wizards— Thomas and I have been stumped by problem that arises when one re- installs Latin Modern (in order to get margin kerning) and uses the t- greek module. Thomas suspects that Latin Modern, being a "clone" of Computer Modern, comes in different design sizes and uses slightly different fonts for different sizes. This setup breaks when the t- greek module expects to have a completely scalable font. But this is only a guess, as he says. The problem may be described as follows: A. If I do not re-install Latin Modern (and thus forego margin kerning and so forth), there is no problem: I can vary the typesize of the footnotes and insert Greek at will. I use the following code for this: \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \definebodyfont[10.5pt][rm][default] \setupbodyfont[modern,10.5pt] \setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers, way=bytext,location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=9.5pt,style=normal] \usemodule[t-greek] \setupfontsynonym[Alkaios][handling=grkpure] \setupfontsynonym[GreekOxoniensis][handling=grkpure] \setupgreek[font=Alkaios,altfont=GreekOxoniensis,scale=0.9] B. If I do reinstall the Latin Modern, I get “Arithmetic overflow errors” when there is Greek in the footnotes. My code for this is: \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \starttypescript[serif][default][size] \definebodyfont[10.5pt][rm][default] %<<< \definebodyfont[10.5pt][mm][default] \stoptypescript \setupfontsynonym[Serif][handling=normal] \usetypescript[modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern,10.5pt] \setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers, way=bytext,location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=9.5pt,style=normal] \usemodule[t-greek] \setupfontsynonym[GreekOxoniensis][handling=greekpure] \setupfontsynonym[GreekDioxipe][handling=greekpure] \setupgreek[font=GreekOxoniensis,scale=1.15] \setupgreek[altfont=GreekDioxipe,scale=1.15] But remove the Greek from the notes and all is well. Note that inserting \definebodyfont[10.5pt,9.5pt][rm][default] at the line <<< (above) fails with the same error message even when there is no Greek in the footnotes. If you have any suggestions on this, we would be grateful to receive them. All best, Alan

Hi, I need to make several versions of a multiple choice questions exam. In each exam the questions have to appear in a different order. Did you know a easy way to do that? Thanks Jorge

Thanks for the reply. Currently I make my examinations with MUCH+LaTeX, but I am exploring ConTeXT and would like to know all its potentialities before dedicating it more intensive atttention. However, as a teacher I recognize the importance of good examples in the pedagogical actions. Thanks a lot. Jorge Em 27/05/2006, às 5:22, Hans Hagen escreveu:

ok, since it's a rainy day here, just for fun i implemented: \startitemize[a,random,packed] \startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem \startitem third \stopitem \startitem fourth \stopitem \stopitemize \startitemize[a,random,packed] \startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem \startitem third \stopitem \startitem fourth \stopitem \stopitemize \startitemize[a,packed] \startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem \startitem third \stopitem \startitem fourth \stopitem \stopitemize ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks very much. In fact, in Context is very easy doing hard tasks. But, it is great if I can do things like: n_exam_versions=3; for (nversion=1 to n_exam_versions) { Final Math Exam Your name: ID: Yor exam version is: #nversion; \startitemize[a,random,packed] \startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \doifmode[answers]{correctchoice}\stopitem \startitem third \stopitem \startitem fourth \stopitem \stopitemize \startitemize[a,random,packed] \startitem first \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem \startitem third \stopitem \startitem fourth \doifmode[answers]{correctchoice}\stopitem \stopitemize \startitemize[a,random,packed] \startitem first \doifmode[answers]{correctchoice} \stopitem \startitem second \stopitem \startitem third \stopitem \startitem fourth \stopitem \stopitemize nversion++; } In this way I have all exam versions in a simple document.

well, you don't have the 'random' option in your version; we need the start/stop then because we need to collect the items first 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hans, In deze release is de definitie van \czsortdivisionch verwijderd, maar die zie ik nog wel een keer in sort definitielijst gebruikt worden. Ik neem aan dat dat niet goed is? Taco
Hans—
I have updated everything, I think, including Thomas’ Greek module.
Now, in processing a file with Greek, the error messages are like the
one below:
