Re: [NTG-context] Context and Windows7

I thought that it would be a good idea if I checked the mailing list archive first, to see if there had been any problems with Windows7. I didn't find any messages related to Windows7, but I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. There is 1 page on the wiki regarding a problem with the complete configuration of Context in Windows7 and Scite which a user has. No problems at all with Windows7 (64bit). I was going to go ahead and download the mswin zip file from the pragma web site, but, the zip file just seems to exist there now as the minimals distribution, rather than the 'big' distribution I had on my old computer (which has gone to that great scrap heap in the sky due to a catastrophic failure). So, I'm looking for advice before I go any further. Should I download the minimals and look into an editor other than Scite, which I never felt totally comfortable with anyway. A good Windows editor is Notepad++. I started out with Scite, then used TeXworks for some time also. TeXworks is nice with the integrated pdf view and synctex, but is not really comfortable as editor. Notepad++ has the same editing comfort as Scite (both on Scintilla) plus a 'friendly' gui and some nice features like double editor windows, a very good search in all open files, and some very handy plugins (compare, explorer, NPPexec ...). Do a search on the list and you will find a context-npp package made by one of the list members. It's a bit dated (you have to tweak some things) but it will help you greatly to get an idea how to set up the editor for context. Should I just go straight to luatex and MKIV? Are there other options available? From my personal experience: For small quick projects - where you immediately see if the needed things work or not - I use mkiv, but for longer, format rich, meandering projects its safer (better for the nerves) to use mkii . I already started two longer projects with mkiv and always had to retreat to mkii because in the course of the work I stumbled upon some (for me) unsolvable problems that were crucial for my project, and not solved by the development of mkiv within my time frame. But anyway, also the next big project I will fearlessly begin giving mkiv a try, and with a bit of luck I will not fall into a mkiv pit hole ;) Best wishes Thomas ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Changes in simplefonts
Hi all,
So the following used to work perfectly, but no longer does:
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Liberation-Serif]
\starttext
I feel so Liberated that {\ConTeXt} can see all my system fonts!
\stoptext
I don't seem to remember changing any configuration in order to get ConTeXt
to see my system fonts (running ArchLinux, so it follows Linux standards).
Yet now I cannot get the simplefonts module to see what it used to see fine.
Has there been some backend changes so that *.ttf files on the system are
now ignored? Do I need to install it to the ConTeXt directory or is there
another alternative?
(Updating my font database does nothing, unless 'luatools --generate' does
not do this?)

The problem goes away if I comment out the lines 2053 and 2054 of
tex.rb. I suspect that
Kpse.runscript('ctxtools',rawbase,'--purge') if getvariable('purge')

Yes, commenting those lines removes the error messages here too, but of

If someone knows what proper quoting is in this case I'll try editing
tex.rb accordingly.

Re: [NTG-context] Context and Windows7
Thanks to all for the helpfull advice. Minimals installed no problem and I managed to get Scite up and running after using the usefull information in the Contextgarden Wiki. I'll have a play around with Texworks and Notepad++ and see how I get on with them. I look forward to Textadept - when Hans is happy with it. Thanks again to all.

Notepad++ has the same editing comfort as Scite (both on Scintilla) plus a 'friendly' gui and some nice features like double editor windows, a very good search in all open files, and some very handy plugins (compare, explorer, NPPexec ...). Do a search on the list and you will find a context-npp package made by one of the list members.

[NTG-context] mptopdf overwrites and deletes pdf file?
Hi, consider a folder containing foo.tex and foo.mp. Suppose that, when compiled, foo.mp outputs foo.1. Then, the following: texexec foo.tex mptopdf foo.mp will end up having foo.pdf deleted. I guess this is because mptopdf creates foo.pdf out of foo.mp *and then* renames it into foo-1.mp. Is it true? Is there a workaround (something like -jobname), other than using different names?

Re: [NTG-context] First page of chapter
I am struggling with getting the first pages of my chapters laid out as
desired. What I want on the top third of the page is a roughly 2 inch square
graphic on the left with the chapter number and chapter title on the right
in large print. The following chunk errors out as shown but works when
hard-coded. Am I headed off in the wrong direction by trying to use columns
in this way? Previously, I tried treating the chapter number and title as
text with startfiguretext. It works but I can't format the chapter titles to
fit properly. Any suggestions for a ConTeXt beginner?
\def\ChapterTop#1#2{
\startcolumns[n=2]
\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[chief]}

Hi!
I think you search for something like this:

{\framed[width=2in,height=2in]{GRAPHIC}\hfill

Re: [NTG-context] First page of chapter
That works. Now I have to figure out how to insert the picture in the place
marked GRAPHIC, get rid of all the boxes and get the page number to print on
the bottom of the first page of the chapter.
