[NTG-context] combination
Hello, I searched the mailing archive but found nothing about my problem. I have 3 figures to put into combination 2*2. The way it is handle it that the third figure is place below the first one, which is quite logical. I'd rather have it centered in the second row. Is there any mean to do this ? I didn't find a clue anywhere. Thank you.

Re: [NTG-context] combination
Hi, The solution works indeed. Thanks to all of you. There is a related refinement I'd like but don't know Context enough to bring by myself: \starttext This is a combination of 3 figures on two lines \placefigure{none} { \midaligned{ \startcombination[1*2] {\startcombination[2*1] {}{} {}{} \stopcombination} {\externalfigure[cow.jpg][width=some width]}{some blabla} \stopcombination } } \stoptext On the third figure: is there a mean to set the width of 'some blabla' equal to the width of the figure.

Re: [NTG-context] installing fonts pdftex
this http://wiki.contextgarden.net/otfinst did it and it actually worked quite well, thanks a lot. it even took care of the dashes problem. do you know how to default to old style numerals the 'osf' doesn't seem to work, and i'm certain that the font supports it. and if you so happen to be the author, you've got a bug; if i chose Sans, it generates this typescript \definetypeface [sample][rm][serif][cronospro][default][encoding=texnansi] instead of \definetypeface [sample][ss][sans][cronospro][default][encoding=texnansi] Thomas A.

It was a brave and wonderful effort to automate installation of fonts, but I gave up using it - not because texfont itself is bad, but because so many fonts are just faulty and/or idiosyncratic, and automatization just can't handle all these eceptions. I always had to double-check and edit files by hand, so I decided to go for a manual process. The --lcdf switch was added by Adam Lindsay, who also wrote a short article about otf and ConTeXt: http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/lindsay/lindsay.pdf Too bad Adam isn't active anymore, he was a great help in ConTeXt development. If you search the mailing list archive for texfont lcdf, you will see that the problem with the empty map file is common and was never really solved, AFAIK. So you have several options: 1. install the fonts manually 2. use texfont and write the map file manually 3. try Patrick's otfinst http://wiki.contextgarden.net/otfinst 4. I have a set of support files for using Cronos and Warnock with pdftex; if you want, I can make a zip and send them to you (not before Thursday, however). the free version of lucida (.ttf) that ship with Java files worked fine 2. is there someone i must do to get to dashes working properly? as in, --- doesn't generate the right dash nor does --. These are defined as ligatures in the tfm/vf files. Doesn't texfont produce vpl-files as an intermediate format? You could open those and check whether the ligature is defined. It probably isn't, and then you have to hunt down the reason or add it manually...

Re: [NTG-context] Page layout : Need help to begin
Hi, Thanks for your help. Your solution works but I need more fine tuning on this background. If you want the background on chapter pages etc. it makes sense to integrate the background in a slightly different way but more details about the layout needed for this to find the best solution. So, I'll explain in more details the structure of my layout. The idea is that the pages are presented side-by-side. Visually we have 4 columns. - The last one (right, on the right page) is the main text. - The third column (left, on the right page) is used for the figures (images, graphs, diagrams, etc.) - The second column (right, on the left page) is used to discuss some points of the main text. Like advanced stuff, debate, historical notes, etc) - The first one (left, on the left page) have some light gray background and is an area for FAQ about the topic. The title of each double page is on the right page, aligned with the left column of the right page. The second column (right, on the left page) may have a title defining the topic of this column.

Is the content for each topic short enough for one double page or is it possible the content on a left page requires more space and continues on the next left page? With the layout described above it also possible to write a environment where the content is saved and macros/buffer and placed at the end of the environment, this has the advantage to know how much space is needed and you're not forced to write the input in the order they are output on the page.
