Re: [NTG-context] Simplefonts (new) fallback issue with Linux Libertine O

 Fallbacks (at least the range I tested) do not work with the roman face of 
 Linux Libertine O in the new (core) simplefonts implementation. I first 
 thought that this might be a Libertine issue, but further testing makes me 
 suspect it may be a simplefonts issue. Or perhaps I have used the wrong 
 syntax with the new implementation.

I can reproduce it and it does also happen with a typescript only solution 
(depends on how you define the fallback font) but it seems to happen only with 
the Linux Libertine font.

[NTG-context] Footnote line position

2013-11-22 Thread Jan Tosovsky 
Dear All,

when a single line footnote is used, the footnote divider is rendered in
larger distance than for footnotes with two or more lines (I mean a gap
between the line and the footnote text). Initially I though there must be an
'empty' paragraph in my footnote but looking into the source it turned out
to be a false alarm as it seems to be consistent. It can be tested easily: 

\chapter{Chapter}Foo\footnote{Bar}.
\chapter{Chapter}Foo\footnote{Bar

Bar}.

Is this behaviour deliberate?

Thanks, Jan

\definegridsnapping[crap] [fit,0.2]
\setuplayout[grid=crap]

but if you really need that kind of tweaks you might consider using a 
better font: if interlinespace is too small you will never get nice results


you can try to play with the h/d ratio:

\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex,height=0.8,depth=0.2]
\showstruts \strut x
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex,height=0.7,depth=0.3]
\showstruts \strut x

or you can plug in a command (in the toc handler) that puts each line in 
a box with manipulated dimensions

You can see that the heading for subsection 6 is an orphan at the bottom
of a column (at least, with the paper size settings I have; otherwise,
I'm sure it happens somewhere else). If \testcolumn worked, the
\testcolumn[8] would have shoved the subsection heading to the next
column, because there was not space for 8 lines left in the column at
that point.

Any thoughts on how to fix this kind of occurrence?

[NTG-context] Paragraph - the last line handling

2013-11-22 Thread Jan Tosovsky 
Hello Everyone,

in my document there are lot of cases when the last line in the paragraph
has a very narrow gap on the right (case 1 below). I understand it is
sometimes difficult to squeeze characters to the desired lenght (case 2)
without any impact to the final quality, but this looks very unnatural now
(besides all other lines, which are nicely typeset keeping the optical edge
on the right).

Is it possible to somehow define that under a certain limit the line will be
expanded to the end (case 3)? 

    (1)
xx
x
    (2)
xx

    (3)
xx
xx

I use the following setup now:

\setupalign[hz, hanging]
\setuptolerance[verystrict] % even 'strict' doesn't help here
\setupindenting[medium, yes]

Any idea?

Thanks, Jan

OK... where? In the same place we used to use \testcolumn?

According to http://www.tug.org/utilities/plain/cseq.html#penalty-rp,
If number is 10,000 or larger, TeX will never break a line or a page
there. Also, if number is -10,000 or less, it will always break a line
or a page there [97 and 110]. ... Plain TeX has \break and \nobreak
macros which are defined to be: \penalty-1 and \penalty1.

So it sounds like you're recommending the equivalent of a \nobreak. That
wouldn't make sense in the place where we want to conditionally break
the column. So I guess you're talking about using it e.g. right after
the subsection heading, since we don't want it to break right there?

If so, that sounds like it will be helpful for preventing that
particular case.

I don't think it will work for preventing external figures from hanging
down below the bottom of the column though, will it? Because for that to
work, we'd have to prevent breaks anywhere in the flowing-around
paragraph. And I don't see a way to do that.

Thanks,
Lars

This helps! But... it breaks something else :-(

I am confused a bit. 

What exactly the linespacing is doing? It can set the baseline distance
(line=...), but it is not handled correctly? Is that snapping a workaround
for this deficiency of a standard solution?

All lines in my book have a certain (default) linespacing.
TOC entries are rendered (by default) using bigger linespacing.

I just wanted to make that TOC distance smaller a bit. Is this really the
only solution?

\definegridsnapping[crap] [fit] % what was that magic number 0.2 ?
\setuplayout[grid=crap]

\start
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.2ex]
\placecontent
\stop

It works. But that snapping is set globally and it breaks whitespace
handling in other parts of my document... It even produces widows/orphans
what I haven't seen before.

Just smaller gap between TOC lines, just that ;-)

Thanks in advance, Jan
