! Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts error.
To generalize: all my attempts to enter mathmode when the bodyfont is
Greek (using one of the fonts in Thomas Schmitz’ Greek module) fail
because of insufficient symbol fonts.
I wonder if this bears of the fact that in this module the fonts have
to be defined at every size used in the document. The relevant line
in type-tasgreek is
\definebodyfont
[30pt,25pt,20pt,18pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,14pt,12pt,11pt,10.5pt,10.1pt,10pt,
9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt]
[rm]
My environment file sets the body font size to 10.1 pt.
I'm not the font expert, but the problem seems to be that
math small text isn't being set (if I see it correctly,
you're using math mode to enter a superscript). I would
suggest you try \text instead of \hbox in the math part, and
even better try \hi{superscript text} or \super{superscript
text} for the superscript.

Alan,
I know next to nothing about math, but I know that the Greek
typescripts do not define a math font. So you will get errors doing
math when the body font is Greek. I wish I could help, but defining a
math font is beyond my abilities. If anyone is interested in doing

I'm looking forward your opinion about this.
one of the problems with a tex like system is that there is quite some
interference, for instance, spacing is related to fonts and height/depth
ations and such. This means that it's rather complex to describe some
mechanisms independently, take:
\framed
{\startlines
whatever
\stoplines}
- framed has its own spacing issues, either or not aligned, auto struts,
offsets, auto width etc; these can be described (and are in several
places) but it takes some playing around to get the picture
- startlines in itself has vertical spacing set up
- however, in this combination this before/after spacing interferes with
auto-struts
or take footnotes: due to limitations in tex, footnotes may not be
burried too deep in boxes, (has to do with thw way inserts are
implemented); so, context has some workarounds which work in most cases,
but not always ... sometimes it's not even easy to predict when
somethign will work out
another example is splitting tables over pages: there are so many
boundary conditions that it would take a manual on it sown
that's not to say that we should not try to describe it ... you can add
for instance comment to the command browser in the wiki

first part ends at less than a certain amount max_amount
from the right margin. In this case, there should a
'seamless line break', i.e. a line break with the text still
fully justified to the right margin.
Example:
First part of the paragraph: second part is
run in and then the text continues.
Second example:
This is still the first part of the pagrah:
second part will now be put on the next line
but the last line of the first part should
be fully justified.
What kind of hskip/penalty/whatever combo should I put
between the first and last part for this to happen?
hm, taco should know ...
my guess is something
{\parfillskip ... \break}
maybe with some looseness
another option is (if you intervene manually) is to play with those etex
penalties arrays

[NTG-context] How to use layers or other methods for precise positioning of items
Hello, I have been trying to use ConTeXt for setting up a book with a list of students in my school, with pictures of them, phone numbers, emails and such. I thought I could use ConTeXt for the job since LaTeX gave me much trouble in trying to alter the layout and look of the page. I found the layer feature in ConTeXt which I found very interesting and thought I could use it to position items (such as text info, images and the layout) within these layers since they offer very precise positioning with a x-y grid like system. When I was trying to use this feature for multipage document it cut of all of the pages except the first. I found out that the layers weren't thought to be part of the content of the file but more like a background and I can't figure out how to use them on many pages without placing something like a dot on every page. Is there any way to do this? I discovered that the layers were inserted into the document via \setupbackgrounds[page] so I understand why it acts like this but I am asking if there is some way of getting layers working like I want? Maybe I am going in completely wrong way? Is there any other good way to do this, that is positioning items with x-y coordinates or something totally different that I am missing? Another thing I was wondering about is how to make items like images bleed (that is to go over the edge of the paper, to avoid white lines at the margin). Can I use negative values for positioning to achive that? All help is greatly appreciated since I am not understanding this and I haven't found much help on the internet regarding this subject (contextgarden had only one example page that had layers). I hope you understand my question, it's a bit complicated to explain. :/ Thanks in advance, Kári Hreinsson ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
