Dear listmates, with \switchtobodyfont I get the interface message “fonts:14” from mult-mes.lua (“bodyfont %s is defined (can better be done global)”) which is kinda hard to grep for :( Example: \definebodyfont[42pt][rm][default] \starttext \switchtobodyfont [42pt] \setupbodyfont [42pt] \stoptext Which results in: ········································································ <... /> fonts > bodyfont 42pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 50.4pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 40.32pt is defined (can better be done global) <... /> ········································································ (\setupbodyfont doesn’t cause it.) It seems harmless but (a) I have a conditional font change that may repeat hundreds of times over the course of a document and it clutters my terminal, and (b) it’s a warning after all, so everything is not as it is supposed to be. What’s it telling me, and why? Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

I'd be interested as well. Maybe my document just grew too large, but I am having quite major memory issues it seems. Trying to compile my document takes almost 10min and half-ẁay through Thunderbird is telling me that its scripts are timing out and asking whether I want to stop them. (A few pages less and the document compiles in 15 secs.) I have two 2GHz processors and 1GB ram. The only frequent error I get from context is that the bodyfont can better be defined globally. Will this help with memory issues? Is there anything else I should do differently?

Dear listmates,

with \switchtobodyfont I get the interface message “fonts:14” from mult-mes.lua (“bodyfont %s is defined (can better be done global)”) which is kinda hard to grep for :( Example:

\definebodyfont[42pt][rm][default] \starttext \switchtobodyfont [42pt] \setupbodyfont [42pt] \stoptext

Which results in:

········································································ <... /> fonts > bodyfont 42pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 50.4pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 40.32pt is defined (can better be done global) <... /> ········································································

(\setupbodyfont doesn’t cause it.) It seems harmless but (a) I have a conditional font change that may repeat hundreds of times over the course of a document and it clutters my terminal, and (b) it’s a warning after all, so everything is not as it is supposed to be. What’s it telling me, and why?

Add \definebodyfontenvironment: \definebodyfontenvironment[42pt] \starttext \setupbodyfont[42pt] \stoptext Wolfgang

This is getting interesting now.

My problem appears to be that I’m abusing dimensions as makeshift floats to calculate relative font sizes, interlinespace etc. via \dimexpr. Hadn’t thought about \switchtobodyfont expecting integers. TeX number types can be confusing. Thanks for the advice. Best regards Philipp

Don’t know what’s the problem but the message doesn’t appear when you use for example 42.1pt. Wolfgang

It’s about decrementing font size and interlinespace until the content fits a predefined box. https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-stellen/src/3568dc7470fa/tex/context/third...

That’s odd. But this way it seems to do the right thing as performance improves drastically (as much as 30%). Thanks Philipp

That’s the only thing that bothers me about Context: whenever you come across a neat problem you think you should go about implementing, you can be dead sure there’s already a full-fledged, highly optimized solution in the core somwhere. (Unless, of course, it’s something related to bibliography ;-) .) On a more serious note: thanks for the pointer, this is good reading! All the camel casing makes it look oldish, though. Philipp

\tracefontdefinitions

Nice forensics tool. With this I can see plainly that, as reported by Wolfgang, \definebodyfontenvironment[42.0pt] results in the dimension’s decimal place to be stripped before font definition. Which makes me wonder whether \switchtobodyfont should do a \normalizebodyfontsize on the #specification before triggering the switch? So that 42.0pt be interpreted as 42pt? Now that I’m aware of it I can as well build that into my macros either ... Regards Philipp
