Re: [NTG-context] crop marks
Thanks Wolfgang and Thomas, that was it. Now, what if I want crop marks only outside the printed area? As it is now, they appear also where the cutting lines cross each other between the single "pages". That way they'll end up on either the one or the other of the adjacent pages, maybe half a line on both, depending on how more or less precise printer and cutting alignments work.

For short texts where you want a certain style and size (e.g. a title
page or a poster with few words) \definedfont is the recommended method,
for larger amounts of the text (e.g. the abstract of a book) you can use
\switchtobodyfont to change the size.
Meanwhile I found the command \definebodyfontswitch and defined
switches like \normalsize, \scriptsize, \large, \Large etc.
The \definebodyfontswitch creates only a command which uses
\switchtobodyfont with a fixed number of arguments.
But this doesn't explain why \definebodyfontenvironment did not do
anything in my MNWE. The fonts book is not very clear on its intended
use.
You put spaces before and after = which aren’t allowed there.

[NTG-context] Partial \framed
I'm trying to put a piece of text in a partial frame that's meant to
look like square brackets aligned with the left and right edges of the
textblock.
I tried to use two \framed constructions inside each other, the outer
one with width=textwidth and negative toffset and boffset, the inner one
with a smaller width, a fat rulethickness and the color of the
background, expecting it to erase the outer frame where it's not needed:
\color[zier]{%
\framed[%
align=middle,
width=\textwidth,
toffset=-4mm,
boffset=-4mm,
strut=no,
]{%
\color[paper]{\framed[%
align=middle,
width=222mm, % i.e. \textwidth-4mm
toffset=6mm,
boffset=5mm,
rulethickness=5mm
]{%
\color[zier]{\tfd \strut Here's the text that is menat to look
important; its length/number of lines is undetermined.\strut}
}}%
}%
}%
... but it doesn't work. Apparently the inner frame is drawn before the
outer one. Putting the wider frame inside the narrower results in
alignment problems -- due to the overfull hbox, I presume.
Is there a simple solution in ConTeXt that I haven't found yet, or will
I have to try some plain TeX box magic myself?

[NTG-context] Letterspacing
I'm still trying to understand some ConTeXt ways of doing things, being a kind of LaTeX native myself. I bought the context-fonts manual, but still can't figure out how to implement a macro that does the simple(?) following, especially item 3: 1. Make #1 uppercase [OK, in simple situations I could just type the uppercase letters] 2. change #1's color to xxx [not a problem] 3. apply an amount of letterspacing to the capitalized #1 that I can specify myself. Maybe I'm only using the wrong search term, maybe the letterspace feature is well hidden in the documentation, maybe it doesn't exist: I simply don't know and don't see a way to find out. \stretched is not an answer.

If you're having trouble to make context compile a document, try this: - TeXworks tools.ini doesn't need to be edited manually. It's the file where TW saves the settings from " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ". - First of all make sure, that you downloaded ConTeXt by using "first-setup.exe" That I did. Not *.exe though, being on a Linux OS, Xubuntu to be precise. - Then, you should add the folder where context.exe (and all executables) are stored to your system paths: Use your browser to navigate to the said folder, click on the address bar and copy the full path. For me it looks like this: " F:\Sandbox\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin " - Then add this path to your windows system paths: go to your windows control panel, double click " System "-> advanced settings -> environment variables (or something like this), in the lower halfth there is a window with a point " Path " . Double click it and paste your CTX folder pretty much at the top of the section or if there is only one line, add it at the beginning, and use semikolon ( ; ) to seperate it from the rest. Save your settings and you should be good to go. - to test if you did it correctly open your command line and simply enter " context.exe --version ".

[NTG-context] ConTeXt and Scite
For the time being, I think I'm giving up on pairing ConTeXt standalone and TeXworks on my Xubuntu machine and try to try out SciTE. In the manual it says that If you want to use ConTEXt, you need to copy the relevant files from /tex/texmf-context/context/data/scite to the path were SciTE keeps its property files (*.properties) Is that the only way? SciTE seems to keep its user-specific properties files in my home directory! I don't want to clutter that up with 16 unhidden files and two directories. At least SciTE's original files are hidden ones. A much more polite way would be if SciTE used a hidden directory named "~/.scite", or, better still, "~/.config/scite", to keep its config stuff in. Can I reconfigure it to use some place like that?

Thanks for the clarification, Wolfgang.

I was looking for a general way how to substitute one glyph with

Is my guess right that normally the author of a font ought to provide
otf features that can be switched on and off to get one result

Calluna fonts.
The output of \sc to produce small capitals depends on the font and
it’s the font designers job to provide a small ẞ (he could use
stilistic sets to let you choose between ß and ẞ).
Well, there's the problem, I think. Jos Buivenga, aka exljbris,
Calluna's font designer, has done a superb job on the graphics (in my
eyes), but his stylistic sets or otf features seem to be full of holes,
as far as I understand them, which is perhaps not very far.
What I'm looking for is a way on the TeX, LuaTeX or ConTeXt level to
define "environments" ('scuse my LaTeX slang) within which certain glyph
substitutions happen. Then I could kind of redefine a thing like \sc to
use the smallcaps ß and switch to smallcaps lining figures, if
available, or, otherwise, scaled-down uppercase lining figures. I have
still other fish to fry in this context, but a general hint where to
look for something like this would be helpful.
Thanks a lot so far -- Thomas

Use separate threads for each problem. The uppercase sharp s

are you saying, use this example as long as the new beta isn't out yet,
or are you saying, this example will work as soon as I'll use the new

Hello,
I'm new to ConTeXt and this list. After a long time of using LaTeX
and xeLaTeX I was finally lured into trying ConTexT by its ability of
grid typesetting.
Today's problem is a bit complex. In a book project I have several
points where stuff is capitalized or turned into caps+smallcaps or
pure smallcaps. My guess is that that should work either with
\WORD{Stuff}, \Cap{Stuff} and \cap{Stuff} or with \uppercase, \sc,
and {\sc\lowercase{Stuff}}. (Not quite, it seems)
I'll use a commercial font called Calluna, but have added Linux
Biolinum O to the example for those who don't want to download
Calluna (the "Regular" can be "bought" for free, e.g. at
https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/exljbris/calluna).
Both Calluna and Biolinum contain the glyph "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER
SHARP S" at "1E9E. Calluna also has a small caps version at "F727",
while Biolinum has it at "E092. I'd like to use these glyphs in the
capitalizations mentioned, but that only works erratically (cf.
example).
Secondly, Calluna comes with oldstyle numerals switched on, which is
nice for normal text, but should change to proportional lining
numbers in uppercase and to small-cap proportional lining numbers in
an all-small-cap text. I'm not sure what I'd want in a caps+smallcaps
context, but certainly not oldstyle numerals with their descenders.
Use separate threads for each problem. The uppercase sharp s
replacement with \WORD can be changed in the next beta.
%% begin example
\usemodule[lingual-de]
\setupbodyfont[libertine]
\starttext
Gruß Straße Buße
\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}
\enabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]

xeLaTeX I was finally lured into trying ConTexT by its ability of grid
typesetting.
Today's problem is a bit complex. In a book project I have several
points where stuff is capitalized or turned into caps+smallcaps or pure
smallcaps. My guess is that that should work either with \WORD{Stuff},
\Cap{Stuff} and \cap{Stuff} or with \uppercase, \sc, and
{\sc\lowercase{Stuff}}. (Not quite, it seems)
I'll use a commercial font called Calluna, but have added Linux Biolinum
O to the example for those who don't want to download Calluna (the
"Regular" can be "bought" for free, e.g. at
https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/exljbris/calluna).
Both Calluna and Biolinum contain the glyph "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP
S" at "1E9E. I'm not sure if they contain a small or medium caps
version. I'd like to use that glyph in the capitalizations mentioned,
but it only works erratically (cf. example).
Also, Calluna comes with oldstyle numerals switched on, which is nice
for normal text, but should change to lining numbers in all-caps and to
small-cap lining numbers in all-small-cap text. I'm not sure what I'll
want in a caps+smallcaps context, but certainly not oldstyle numbers
with their descenders.
Any ideas? Thanks for reading! -- Thomas

Nowadays there's about a metre and a half of bookshelf occupied by books on LaTeX, TeX and Typography. As I make books myself, I'm obviously not averse to buying them. I guess the ConTeXt books on fonts and layout will do me good. btw, if you want to roll out your own features as in extensions-001 then you also need to know what the font provides (or lacks) .. open type fonts can be pretty complex and there is no consistency in how certain features are implemented Yes, I learned that already. Will these home-made features only work on open type fonts?

[NTG-context] glyph substitution
Is there a way to tell ConTeXt to use one glyph where it would on its own use another one? Two examples: - In the font "Purisa Medium" the hyphen comes out as a line that is two or three times fatter and even a little longer than the m-dash. That is clearly wrong, and probably the font designer's fault. Other than that, the font has its merits as a not-too-sweet or crazy handwriting font. I'll need to tell ConTeXt to either scale that monster-hyphen down or to use a different glyph altogether, maybe even from another font. - As mentioned in an earlier post, in an \sc group I need the lowercase ß to be replaced with its smallcaps version, which is contained in the font but not accessible via any of its otf features. There are more occasions where I have missed such a feature.

Is my guess right that normally the author of a font ought to provide
otf features that can be switched on and off to get one result

Calluna fonts.
The output of \sc to produce small capitals depends on the font and
it’s the font designers job to provide a small ẞ (he could use
stilistic sets to let you choose between ß and ẞ).
Well, there's the problem, I think. Jos Buivenga, aka exljbris,
Calluna's font designer, has done a superb job on the graphics (in my
eyes), but his stylistic sets or otf features seem to be full of holes,
as far as I understand them, which is perhaps not very far.
What I'm looking for is a way on the TeX, LuaTeX or ConTeXt level to
define "environments" ('scuse my LaTeX slang) within which certain glyph
substitutions happen. Then I could kind of redefine a thing like \sc to
use the smallcaps ß and switch to smallcaps lining figures, if
available, or, otherwise, scaled-down uppercase lining figures. I have
still other fish to fry in this context, but a general hint where to
look for something like this would be helpful.
Thanks a lot so far -- Thomas

Wolfgang,
Use separate threads for each problem. The uppercase sharp s
replacement with \WORD can be changed in the next beta.
%% begin example
are you saying, use this example as long as the new beta isn't out yet,
or are you saying, this example will work as soon as I'll use the new
beta? It doesn't seem to do anything right now, not even an error message.
