[NTG-context] justification
Dear list members, After months of trying to figure out what TeX, ConTeXt etc is and how to install everything needed I finally produced my first document. I was thrilled when I saw real pdf pages with footnotes and all! However, I noticed the following problem (no doubt the first of many to come): justification on the right is far from perfect - there are lines sticking out. After going through the manual, I decided that \setuptolerance[horizontal,verystrict] in the setup area should do the trick, but it didn't. Any suggestions? (I set up ConTeXt on two Macs, once with teTeX and once with TeXLive, and on a Mac running Mandrakelinux and teTeX - the result was the same (same lines sticking out) on all of them). I am currently writing a textbook and I am looking forward to using ConTeXt. PD Dr.med.

Peter, thanks for the hint. The very latest version even has 2005-04-15 09:05. Still no go - same errors. For the time being, I reverted to the previous beta as well.

Re: [NTG-context] Page number in interaction menu
Sorry to bother again, but could somebody please check if they get these
undesired page numbers within the interaction menu from this code?
It seems to me that it is a bug, unless there is some setup command
missing in my code.
Thanks for any help,
David
David Munger :
Hello,
Is there a way to remove the page number from the interaction menu? I
might be doing something wrong. Thanks for any clue.
Minimal example:
\setuppapersize [S6][S6]
\setuplayout [height=300pt, bottom=24pt]
\setupbodyfont [20pt]
\setupinteraction [state=start, menu=on]
\startinteractionmenu [bottom]
Menu: \placelist[chapter]
[alternative=bottom,criterium=all,pagenumber=no]
\stopinteractionmenu
\starttext
\chapter{First}
\page hello
\chapter{Second}
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] justification
Since the attachment showing one pdf-page doesn't seem to pass through, let me describe the outcome: On 6 pages with mostly default settings, there are 3 lines sticking out on the right side by 2- 3 characters (igt, mt and ng). In addition, there are about 3 smaller defects (ca. 1 character protrusions). I am using il1, and de as mainlanguage. Interestingly, on 2 pages the defects occur at exactly the same distance from the upper edge.

Re: [NTG-context] new beta
Thanks David, modifying texexec.rme and saving it as texexec.ini solved some of the problems. Here's my story: 1. output of texexec --version unchanged: texexec --version TeXExec 5.3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 warning: Ignoring unknown argument `batchmodecont-en' to --interaction. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'. tex : unknown context : ver: 2005.04.15 cont-en : unknown warning: Ignoring unknown argument `batchmodecont-de' to --interaction. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'. cont-de : unknown warning: Ignoring unknown argument `batchmodecont-nl' to --interaction. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'. cont-nl : unknown total run time : 5 seconds 2. Nevertheless, texexec now processes my files. However, my log is filled with hundreds of lines like this: Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/cont ext/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `txbttsc' already exists, duplicates ignored Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/cont ext/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `t1xtt' already exists, duplicates ignored Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/cont ext/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `t1xttsl' already exists, duplicates ignored Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/cont ext/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `t1xttsc' already exists, duplicates ignored 3. Context now NEEDS the line loadmapfile foo.map in every document. Before, this was an option. I typically used updmap to keep my config files in sync (because I want to use my fonts with LaTeX from time to time), so I didn't use this feature much. Now, however, context doesn't seem to read the normal config files any more. Not sure if this is the expected behavior or a bug. Thanks!

The space before the gets replaced by a \ so that cmd was:

Maybe use:

Re: [NTG-context] justification
Guata obat! This is nice, another swiss user! (sorry gang for this bit of patriotism) In fact if you use \setuptolerance[verystrict] will cause TeX to use as few glue as possible, so the possibilities to stretch a line to have a better breakpoint is lowered. Instead you might use \setuptolerance[tolerant, stretch] or even \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] Kind regards Willi Jörg Hagmann wrote: Dear list members, After months of trying to figure out what TeX, ConTeXt etc is and how to install everything needed I finally produced my first document.
