Re: [NTG-context] PDF forms not creating proper children
Hi, I cannot get the signature working either, but almost certain it did work in February this year, as I have done some with MKIV. >From the test suite: fields-007.tex \nopdfcompression \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \definefield[x][signature] \field[x] \stoptext Using the https://live.contextgarden.net/ with (LuaTeX 2.06 20200630 + ConTeXt MkIV 2020.06.30 17:30) looks good, but evince does not display the field.

I report below the content of the two files, as they are in TeX Live

post, in which I can install Tex Live 2020).

Hi Nicola, I don’t run Alpine or Docker, but this might help you. mtxrun --script cache --erase && mtxrun --generate BTW, TeX Live 2021 is already available (https://www.tug.org/texlive/).

[NTG-context] issue with Public Sans
Dear listt,
I have problems with current latest (from 2021.04.29 23:09) to get
proper character spacing using Public Sans
(https://public-sans.digital.gov/):
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm]
[Public Sans]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\doloopoverlist{\rm,\it,\bf,\bi}
{\startpar\recursestring\input zapf\stoppar}
\stoptext
Could anyone confirm this? I wonder whether the typeface itself is
missing something.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
