Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals on Mac
Here's a start: What's in your path? Typing set in the terminal window should tell you. Second, did you add source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex to your ~/.profile You need to have the source work from when you log in, and that happens in the .profile, not the .bashrc. That way, stuff under Aqua see the right environment. If you just do cmdline, then .bashrc is OK. That's similar to GNOME under Linux/BSD. See what happens after you do that.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals on Mac
Yep, it's looking for stuff in other places than you installed it. You can confirm that by typing which texexec or which context and so forth. On the Mac, /usr/texbin is a symbolic link that points to a directory under /usr/local/texlive What you need to do - and I have not installed minimals - is find out the means to point your files to the right installation or else they will look for the old one. I would suggest to check the wiki until I look into things moew.

[NTG-context] Kerning and Scaling
Hi Folks,
I wanted to confirm that Hans is **Correct** about font fitting. In
fact, I think that scaling is superior.
One thing I did find is that one must go real easy with the scaling,
e.g., compute the difference between the size you want/need, and see
that it isn't too great, as the test shows.
This test suite, written for plain, nevertheless will work in ConText IF
you set the conditional value \havecontexttrue, which I did below.
Some of the exact font results will, however, differ between the two.
That was just my not trying to rectify differences in the default fonts
and sizes.
I found this exercise to be fun for learning about macro expansion, as
well as dealing with multiple constraints and tail recursion.

Are you sure the package is installed correctly? Lookk for where Npp installs the original userDefineLang.xml, then overide it with mine. One thing I have noticed is that the default TeX language support in Npp is much better than in past versions. Folding is not so good, though. Note that Hans wrote the original TeX lexer for scite that Npp uses by default (with some modifications). So probably there has been some development of this lexer on the scite side of things.

Thanks all. >There are different levels of folding, 0--8: Alt-0, Alt-1, Alt-8. >Alt-0 collapses all, use Alt-Shift- to uncollapse to the desired degree. These work ok indeed. Nevertheless, the folding marks and foldings themselves run awkwardly in some tex files. Back to readme.txt : --- 2) Folding a) ...

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals on Mac
Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal from the finder Type (or cut n paste from Mail/Entourage) and don't put a carriage return between these lines (they are wrapped automatically) chmod a+x Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine If that fails - and it should not - try: sudo chmod a+x Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine You can substitute: chmod a+x ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine for the above path, and you can opt to do chmod u+x ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine when only you should execute it or chmod g+x ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine if anyone in your group can execute it or you can be "typical" and say chmod 775 ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine and that will make everyone executable and you/your group read-writable. Since you are using UNIX (as Mac OS X proudly touts) you might want to snag a reference on shell scripting and basic UNIX commands. Welcome to the world beyond Aqua. That should do it.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals on Mac
I have installed the Context Minimals following the newbie instructions on the wiki at contextgarden for Mac users. The instructions themselves are clear but should perhaps be updated: • the file originally downloaded is first-setup.sh not first-setup.tsh • to execute this file run ./first-setup.sh not first-setup.sh (at least, the former worked and did not return a “command not found” message). I also configured TeXShop as instructed. But now when I try to typeset a file, I get the error message: Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine does not have the executable bit set. How can I fix this?

Re: [NTG-context] Changing sections, formula,... numbering order
Thank you Khaled. As you said we don't need \textdir in Xetex and I can use \pardir TRT in this situation. I thought that maybe there is a simple setup for sectioning number in context that I am not aware of. Any way, I have translated "The not so short introduction to latex" to farsi and also I am translating "Context an excursion" (due to a number of problems, somebody told me to use context+xetex for this purpose but now it seems that I have to complete the translation with luatex) and as you probably know luatex has a problem with \placeformula in TRT mode (I don't know if this problem has been resolved).
