Hi Wolfgang, Thanks, that gets me closer (though \highlow and \lowhigh result in "undefined control sequence" here). However, the superscripted text is not reduced in size at all. This seems to be XeTeX-specific, as using PDFTeX works fine. The same issue arises using \small{} in XeTeX, whether standing alone or in combination with \high{}. Some light could be shed on this by observing that *all* text produced by XeTeX, when in comparison with PDFTeX, looks like has gone through \small. I suppose this is possible as I note that \small can't be applied recursively (i.e. \small{\small{x}} == \small{x} ). Thoughts?

Hi,

...

A minor problem: I'm trying to place superscripted text in the text body -- things like '2^nd March'. I can't see anything like 2{\sup nd}, so my only known solution at the moment is math mode: $2^{nd}$. Despite this not being 'math', I don't really have an aversion to it. However, there's a problem with it: the superscripted text appears in italic Computer Modern. I'm using Gentium Book Basic as my body font, using XeTeX. The Gentium typeface is used perfectly everywhere, including the '2' in '2^nd', with the exception of the superscripted text.

So what solutions are to hand? Is there either (1) super/sub commands in text mode, or (2) a way of fixing this in math mode?

(Also, would this be a problem with ConTeXt or with XeTeX?)

a\high{x}b\low{x}c\highlow{x}{y}d\lowhigh{x}{y}

That's better. Also, for the record, I've been working with Mark IV today, and LuaTeX doesn't seem to have XeTeX's problem with \small. On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 2:07 PM, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@googlemail.com> wrote:

Those instructions only work for MKII. I am not sure how to incorporate RSFS with MKIV. Unicode only has type of math script letters. Aditya

Thank you very much. Just a comment: it is better to define \def\scr #1{\text{\ralfsmithfs #1}} In this way, font sizes (superscript and subscript) are also available. MO On 3/5/2010 2:15 PM, views63 wrote:

I have to say that my way is not perfect enough. In fact, I want to have aligned formulas like what you see in the attached file. The attached file is the output of amsmath. Any comment is wellcome. Mehdi On 3/9/2010 12:10 PM, luigi scarso wrote:

Hello, I'm using contextminimals with win7 64bit. Since a few days i get the following two messages when I try to update or to do a new install of contextminimals. The message (error report) for two times is:

Der Prozedureinsprungpunkt „sfseek64“ wurde in der DLL „kpathsearch510.dll“ nicht gefunden.

Context (mkiv) is working ; texexec (mkii) is broken.

What can I do? I need to ask Akira - I suspect that there are two incompatible versions of the library with the same name. Mojca

Is it better now? (I need to fix some hardcoded commands, but I keep postponing that for way too long.) The problem is not with binaries, but with wrong libraries that we recombine on the garden (my fault). Mojca

Also see the "documentation" in font-ini %D This leaves us two more commands: \type{\tx} and %D \type{\txx}. These activate a smaller and even more smaller %D font than the current one and adapt themselves to the %D current alternative, so when \type{\bf} is active, %D \type{\tx} gives a smaller boldface, which in turn can be %D called directly by \type{\bfx}. %D %D These two smaller alternatives are specified by the bodyfont %D environment and therefore not necessarily have similar sizes %D as \type{\scriptsize} and \type{\scriptscriptsize}. The main %D reason for this incompatibility (which can easily be undone) %D lays in the fact that we often want a bit bigger characters %D than in math mode. In \CONTEXT\ for instance the \type{\tx} %D and \type{\txx} commands are used for surrogate %D \cap{smallcaps} which support both nesting and alternatives, %D like in {\bf\cap{a \cap{small} world}}, which was typeset by %D %D \starttyping %D \bf\cap{a \cap{small} world} %D \stoptyping %D %D And compare $\rm \scriptstyle THIS$ with the slightly larger %D \cap{THIS}: \ruledhbox{$\rm \scriptstyle scriptstyle: THIS$} %D or \ruledhbox{\cap{x style: THIS}} makes a big difference.

Thanks, Apparently tikz is not able to handle these font styles as you can see in the following file. But it is not a big problem as one can use \tx for example whenever I need it.
