thanks a lot.
but if this is the easiest then what is the hardest? :)
The mathematical center of the line is not necesarily the
optical center, so a somewhat more correct approach would
put all the stuff in an \hbox and then compute manually
how far it has to drop down.
For a more pleasing look, it would perhaps be even better
to line up a normal '7' as if it was an oldstyle numeral,
and then enlarging it while keeping the same vertical
alignment ratio.

I have no idea if that is intended to work -- it did in my very simple tests . I'm not sure the RUBYLIB line is needed. when you use texmfstart to launch a script, no rubylib is needed because libraries are loaded relative to the script; texmfstart itself (now) ships with the libraries that it needs embedded); when using the direct call (ruby path/texexec as from your script) should work equally well the reason why i made texmfstart are: - we don't need stubs for all scripts, which is esp handy when scripts bare names that may conflict with other things in ones path - texmfstart internally uses kpsewhich to locate the script (unless it is configured to use its internal kpse library and/or talks to kpse server); it tries hard to cache and carry over results which (depending on the machine and trees uses - large trees slow down kpsewhich) means that nested runs are faster, e.g. when texmfstart is used to start texexec, a nested texexec run starts up faster) - another reason why i made texmfstart is that it makes me less dependent of changes in tds (the change from /context/scripts/ruby to scripts/context/ruby in combination with different kpsewhich fmt flags gave me so much trouble (read: i had to use different stubs depending on what version of tes and kpsewhich were used and they were not always in sync) that i decided that a consistent 'texmfstart ...' stub was safest for me - in the meantime texmfstart does a few more things, like tree initialixation and kpse expansion, think of: texmfstart xsltproc kpse:a.xsl --output=b.xml c.xml which will expand kpse: to the path as reported by kpsehwich. (here i use a mix: when running e.g. from other scripts or from editors i alwayss use texmfstart scriptname but when i run in the console i just use scriptname because windows can associate the .rb suffix with ruby (on unix one has to remove the suffix) it's all a matter of what suits best Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Take the 'normal' 7 in the 'normal' tf size, but place it
as if it was an old-style numeral (using something like
\lower2pt\hbox{7}). Measure the height of the result box.
Now you have a box that is say 4.5pt above (and 2pt below
the baseline). Create a new box with the 7 in the increased
font size, and use \lower to make sure that 4.5/6 of it is
above the baseline. You asked for 'complicated', right?

[NTG-context] Dense encoding, part II ???
Hello, on the [tex-fonts] mailing list there was a recent discussion of people putting effort into enabling proper encoding to support typesetting of Lithuanian (in LaTeX). Before they start creating and using yet another encoding (incompatible with others and not shipped with any standard TeX distribution): is there any chance to finish the companion encoding in some reasonable time? Even if they keep using LaTeX, I think that the same mechanism can be used in LaTeX as the one which combined EC (T1) with TS1. There is probably not that much left to be done. The letter part of the encoding is finished (and the Polish fonts already ship with those metric files) and quite some ideas for the companion font are already there. The major part left is to create ConTeXt support for combining two encodings, but from the past experiance with Hans that is probably a matter of not even a couple of hours.

different ideas of what units the thrust was in (I think NASA had
converted to SI units, whereas the manufacturer used 'English' units).
