Re: [NTG-context] OpenType fonts
Idris Samawi Hamid wrote: Hi all, OpenType fonts are all the rage today. Are there any critiqes of the format, or discussions of its limitations? Despite it's apparent smartness and a lot of media hype, OpenType is still just a collection of glyphs and metainformation. XeTeX makes OpenType look intelligent, but that is because the program logic is wholly embedded in Mac OS X. At the core level, the real big difference with TTF and Type 1 is just that there is *more* metainfo (I am over simplifying it a bit, but not much). Aleph, or pdfetex, for that matter, will need extensions to make actual use of the extra metainformation. Whether that needs a new kind of OpenType-Font-Metric file or whether it can be done in macros/primitives is not clear yet (at least not for pdftex) How many typesetting applications can actually take full advantage of opentype fonts? There is a table at: http://www.opentype.com/html/opentype.aspx but how up-to-date that is, I do not know. What are the chances that OpenType (at least some of its advanced features) will go the way of MultipleMaster fonts? Do you mean embedded metaness or terminated for marketing reasons? the first, I doubt (too many font vendors involved with the spec; they can make more money from selling separate fonts) the latter is, of course, always possible but seems unlikely in short and medium time.

Jérôme Laurens wrote: So, is it possible to have the Google search engine at context garden also look into the manuals? As far as I know, there is no option in google to look to more than one domain at once. It means that you can only search on: - only contextgarden.net - only pragma-ade.com - on the whole www at once, but not at both contextgarden and pragma at once. However, if you use the google frame integrated into contextgarden, you can choose between four options where to search (in the second step): contextgarden. pragma, ctan or everywhere. Try it. There is a documentation mirrored on contextgarden (http://mirror.contextgarden.net/overview.htm), but it's intentionally not indexed by google. Perhaps searching the manuals is the only good reason why it would partially make sense to let google index their content on contextgarden.net as well. Perhaps there is some workaround / some elgant way to add only the manuals to the allow section of mirror.contextgarden.net/robots.txt, while still somehow preventing people to refer to the mirrored documentation instead to the original one.

Hello All!
There is intresting macros in cont-new -- shortcuts. It works pretty

For example after command:

I can get slash only by \textslash (which is expected) and it breaks
things like:
\typefile {some/dir/file}
So how to revert to previous meaning of '/'? It is possible to do it
only temporarily?
Explicit \start a /b/ c \stop style grouping is normally best, but
a shortcut is just an active character with a closing defimiter,
so this will work for you special case:
\catcode`\/=\other
\typefile {some/dir/file}

[NTG-context] TUO loading bug
Hi,
Renaud AUBIN wrote:
[failing \cite commands in a component file]
I've found the problem, and it is in fact not related to the bib
module (and not really to the project structure either). The real
culprit was a bug in the tuo file loader, triggered by your
\useencoding[ffr]
in the environment file. Your environment file is loaded *after*
\startproduct (which implies \starttext), and therefore the switch
comes too late. Moving the three french language related lines to
the stop of the actual prd_phd.tex file (before \starttext) solves
the problem.
(What follows is for Hans' benefit mostly)
Nasty little bug, this. I only found it because eventually, I
decided to test the citations using explicit \in{}[] and
found out that that didn't work either. I've attached a minimal
file demonstrating the bug.
Here is the problem in the tuo:
\thisissectionseparator{-} % = NOTE!
\twopassentry{floatdata}{0}{1::1} % = WRONG, loading of .tuo aborted
\twopassentry{float}{1}{1}
When I remove either this float, or the \useencoding line, all is fine,
but simple redefining \dosavefloatdata was not enough apparently,
because that did not work.

[NTG-context] Re: [Aleph] OpenType-to-TeX and other musings...
Thank you Taco and Gábor for your valuable comments-) Based on both of your comments, it seems that the most practical approach in the short run is for Aleph (whose raison d`etre is more focused on the short run-) is to just treat otf's like cid/enriched type1 fonts (a la Latin Modern), which is what ConTeXt (and I guess LaTeX too) are already doing (with smart encodings, etc.) The main thing that aleph offers on this front is 256-glyph encodings. Simple otp's could provide switches to turn on needed features (small caps, superiors, swashes, etc) in a large font without clogging the system with multiple encodings (Occam's razor); only a single encoding vector for the entire raw font would be needed. I know that loading encodings in ConTeXt would certainly be a lot simpler-) On Sat, 17 Dec 2005 06:13:21 -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 3) OpenType fonts, as Taco has already mentioned, have a declarative nature: they tell you what to do but not how to do it. In the short run, for Aleph's purposes, these declarations and much/most/all of the metainfo can be treated as suggestions for the otp designer to consider in implementing things. There is no need to treat them as something holy. Based on your comments and my other research, I will focus on enriched/CID type1 (which I guess is equivalent to cff-flavored opentype) font solution in my own work, and not worry about otf declarations for now. In the long run, of course, it would be great if a rewrite of Omega could execute a complete implementation of otf functionality. I wish dear Yannis and Gábor the very best in this regard!

[NTG-context] textbackground bug
Something strange happens with textbackground (again, I am afraid).
I defined:
% Java typesetting with background.
\definetyping[JAVA]
\setuptyping[JAVA][option=JV,
before={\bgroup\setupinterlinespace[line=2.2ex]%
\testpage[1]\starttextbackground[code]},
after={\stoptextbackground\egroup}]
Then I typeset some text:
\startJAVA
public void setUserManager( UserManager um ) {
..
\stopJava
If this falls precisely at the start of a new page I get the
following error:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.17 \s
tartpdffontresource[ec]
Forcing the typesetting to run further the output contains the rest
of the source of macro \startpdffontresource[ec] .
I.e. the output then shows (the \s has disappeared):
tartpdffontresource[ec]
/CIDInit /ProcSet findresource begin
...
- and goes on until (the last part of the macro end end
\stoppdffontresource not appearing)
... CMapName currentdict /CMap defineresource pop
Hereafter typesetting is resumed.
Introducing something that puts another line of text at the top
of the page results in normal typesetting.
Further experiment
replacing \startJava by \starttextbackground[somecolor] leads to
the same error.
Therefore I suspect it has something to do with the output routine
where \s is taken as the next macro.
A simpe experiment (\def\s{something}) shows that indeed a macro \s
is executed.
Is someone here messing up the catcode's of the letters?
It is of cource very annoying if one constantly has to shift
textmaterial up and down to move it away from page breaks!
yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer
