Re: [NTG-context] New module simpleslides
Hi Thomas, Can you remove the date from the filename. No, I'm afraid it doesn't let me change this any more. This looks realy strange - if I create the zip with textools, I get a filename t- XXXt-2009.03.31.zip, and when I upload this to the garden, it will append the date and the extension again! Sorry for this I have to be sorry... I have finally fixed the name. I will do some code changes to ensure a more reasonable user interface.

[NTG-context] Why can not rm or rmtf fonts be set up by \definebodyfont macro?
These days I have been reading co-fonts.pdf because I plan to write
a document about
ConTeXt MkIV for our Chinese users. When I reached the part of
Defining body fonts,
for testing bodyfont model, I made an example as following:
\definefontsynonym[Song][AdobeSongStd-Light]
\definefontsynonym[Hei][AdobeHeitiStd-Regular]
\definefontsynonym[FangSong][AdobeFangsongStd-Regular]
\definefontsynonym[Kai][AdobeKaitiStd-Regular]
\definebodyfont[12pt][rm]
[tf=Song,
bf=Hei sa 1,
it=Kai sa 1,
sl=FangSong sa 1]
\setscript[hanzi]
\setupbodyfont[rm,12pt]
\starttext
今时之人不然也，以酒为浆，以妄为常，
{\bf 醉以入房，以欲竭其精，以耗散其真}，
{\it 不知持满，不时御神}，
{\sl 务快其心，逆于生乐，起居无节，故半百而衰也}。
\stoptext
I found that rmtf font is not AdobeSongStd-Light, which is always
LMRoman12-Regular.
However, bf, it and sl fonts all are right.
I looked over the log file and saw some messages as following:
fonts : preloading latin modern fonts
bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded
I want to know why I can not override the preloading rm font.
Thanks.

The font seems to have a buggy (too big) GPOS kerning table (it does cause
fontforge to hang writing the font). If 'kern' is set to 'yes', I get this
error:
...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/node-inj.lua:62:
attempt to index local 'kb' (a nil value)
I had to put if..then around that line to suppress the error, may be
some checks are needed for such broken fonts.

Your script is clever, but in my experience, you can simplify the process. I
have a TeXLive install and the ConTeXt minimals on my OS X box. In order to
use them, I have two configuration files. Here's the one for the minimals
(which is named .minicontext):
PATH=/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin:$PATH
export PATH
export TEXMFCACHE=/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-cache
export TEXMFCNF=/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf/web2c
export
TEXMF={/Users/tas/texmf,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-project,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-fonts,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-local,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-extra,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf}
export
LUAINPUTS={/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base,/Users/tas/texmf/scripts/context/lua}
I simply run source ~/.minicontext, and my system is set up. The syntax is
for zsh; if you're running bash or (heaven forbid!) tcsh, you may have to
adapt it slightly; and of course, adapt the path variables to your own
needs.
There is a tool designed specifically for this sort of adjustment to
the environment,
called environment modules:
http://modules.sourceforge.net/
http://www.nersc.gov/nusers/resources/software/os/modules.html
This was standard kit on SGI Irix -- now that we are replacing the SGI
workstations with
MacOSX at work I use the (experimental) tcl version.The big
advantage of using
environment modules is that it reliably restores the default environment.

We definitely need a better user interface, but if you manage to figure out how to set up some (git/svn/whatever) repositories, that would be much better in the long term.

Will make some test files this week sigh. Basically, Single Adjustment uses the advance width parameter alone, with dx/dy=0. This should move the right sidebearing of an initial arabic char to the right while leaving the left one alone. In pair adjustment Arabic kerning generally sets dx=c=width. mkiv supports the latter but not the former. I'll continue this discussion with Hans off list. It's a weird font -- all due respect to Tim Halloway the designer *** -- but very complete in many ways. A good test case for mkiv.
