[NTG-context] STIX2 font issues with freshly installed FMTX

[Heinrich Paeßens via ntg-context]

Hi there

as a newcomer in ConTeXt I installed according to 

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_ConTeXt_LMTX_on_MacOS/

and using TeXShop on macos as advised.

However, I like to use STIX2-Fonts for Text and Math and hence my MWE to test 
which fonts are going to be embedded (CLI pdffonts):

-
\setupbodyfont[stixtwo]
\starttext

Test ß 1lIjJuQ \% § \& ?! VERSAL-ẞ- \|> --- 1234567890 --- //

\placeformula[eqn:def-m]
\startformula
m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}
\stopformula
\stoptext
-

Unfortunately the compiler throws an error — why is there a check of 
STIX2-fonts versions, why is that important?

I checked and found 

/Users/hp/Library/Fonts/STIXTwoText-Regular.otf Version 2.12 b168
/Users/hp/Library/context-osx-64/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/stix2-otf/STIXTwoText-Regular.otf
 Version 2.11 b159

Could you please advise for a work around?

[NTG-context] context manuals -- absence of \definefontfamily

[Youssef Cherem via ntg-context]

Dear all,

I've come back to using Context and I noticed the nice manuals around --
but one thing I miss is \definefontfamily (and \definefallbackfamily).

There is info here:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Use_fonts_distributed_with_ConTeXt

and then checking out the specific page:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefontfamily

It still baffles me that definefontfamily, though much simpler than
typescripts (which is intimidating), is not mentioned in the beginner's
manuals (unless I missed something) and neither is it given more prominence
in the Wiki, although I often see it mentioned in the forums. Being used to
fontspec's simplicity, I'd never use typescripts. It would help a lot, for
example, to include a sample of "definefontfamily" in "Use any font you
like".

Is there a reason why definefontfamily doesn't appear at all in the manuals
(as far as I could see), which are rather comprehensive otherwise?

All the best and thanks again for everything.

Re: [NTG-context] Critical Editions?

[Jean-Pierre Delange via ntg-context]

Hello dear "critical edition" scholars !

I do remember who was the French geek on reledmac and reledpar (LaTeX) : 
he is Maieul Rouquette (please read this page 
https://github.com/maieul/ledmac).


We (Pablo Rodriguez mainly and I) have tried few years ago to somehow 
follow a possible path within CTX in order to clarify what was possible 
with critical edition, which means : 1) a main text with 2) several 
levels of footnotes showing different version of this text (mainly 
differences or alterations of the main text, mainly in  words 
occurences, specially within Medieval copies of the same text). It may 
be useful to have the original text (say : Ancient Greek or whatever) on 
the left column, with the translation on the right column (say : Latin 
or whatever), and the 'criticus apparatus' in the different level of 
footnotes. This kind of page suppose to have under the hand 
(zuhandenheit or vorhandenheit ?) some tools/commands in order to deal 
with the text extension in the column at right ...


Pablo has proposed a MWE, but since I made previously a mistake among 
files I have send to the list, I am going back with a MWE as attached 
file (I send the *.tex & *.pdf files), produced under mtx-context | 
current version: 2020.01.30 (!).


I hope this may give some help to those who want to clarify how CTX/LMTX 
may be useful in such topic.

Dear Bruce and Hans,

thanks for you responses and I apologize for the lengthy post, which 
is just to give you an
impression of the current practice in my field (Sanskrit Studies, 
Indology).


For the last two decades edmac and its further developments (now 
reledmac) have become the standard
for critical editions. In my experience the basic requirements for 
typesetting critical editions

were and are:

- footnotes have to be formatted in paragraphs
- multiple footnotes layers stacked below the critical text must be 
possible

- automatic reference to linenumbers
- or: manual references to verse numbers
- language specific requirements (more complicated, see below)

In the last years new requirements have been added:

- some funding institutions in the academic world practically enforce 
online editions

- data have to be made available in TEI xml format

This is where a new (LuaTeX) package called ekdosis, currently being 
developed by Robert Alessi,
comes in. It produces a printed version and in the same TeX run an xml 
file. In an ongoing
editorial project we are using this method and it works very well. 
While the system is ingenious
and a great relief (for we do not have to work with xml directly), I 
am also critical about these
new demands, because they force us to use a fairly complex system for 
sometimes quite simple tasks.
I am a Sanskritist, we do not have huge budgets or a large staff, so 
efficiency is an issue. We
also do not have the resources for the long-term care for data such as 
online editions, but this is

another problem.

In a previous project, a large edition (3 verses, 15 years), I 
tried to use the easiest
method. It turned out that edmac was not even necessary and not using 
it made the main file from
which we are working very readable and greatly simplified daily work. 
Just to give you an
impression from our input file: The first two lines in the next 
paragraph are the Sanskrit text in
transcription, \var produces a variant with reference to the verse 
number and verse quarter
(a-d). So no line numbering was even necessary. The \lem produces the 
sign that divides the
critical text and its witnesses from the variants, usually "]", the 
rest are sigla, like S1, S3

etc.

mumukṣuvyavahāroktimayāt prakaraṇād anu   \danda
athotpattiprakaraṇaṃ mayedaṃ parikathyate  \sloka{1.5}
   \var{5b}{anu \Sseven \Sft \lem \emph{param} \Sone \Sthree \Snine 
\Ntwelve \Ntw}


I used pdflatex and memoir, which has paragraphed footnotes. Here is 
the relevant section from the

preamble:

\renewcommand*{\@makefnmark}{}
\newfootnoteseries{P}
\paragraphfootstyle{P}
\renewcommand{\thefootnoteP}{}
\footmarkstyleP{}
\renewcommand{\@makefnmarkP}{\hskip-2.2pt}
\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{}
\setlength{\stockheight}{6in}
\renewcommand{\linenumberfont}{\normalfont\tiny}
\setlength{\linenumbersep}{0pt}\setlength{\linenumberwidth}{0pt}\modulolinenumbers[2] 


\setlength{\footmarkwidth}{0em}
\setlength{\footmarksep}{-\footmarkwidth}
\addtolength{\skip\footins}{2mm plus 1mm}
\leftskip=.2cm    % indent of the verses
\def\var#1#2{\footnoteP{#1 #2}}  % footnotes


This is what I compiled from different examples (I am not a 
programmer), but it worked -- the

edition has produced quite a few volumes and is almost finished!

Working with this file was easy, because one could easily read the 
text.  The usual edmac code
would have required us to identify an lemma with \edtext and then 
write the variant directly into
the text. This may not matter in the case of few variants, but with 

Re: [NTG-context] local notes, "serried" (paragraph) or column style.

[Youssef Cherem via ntg-context]

Hi again,

As a follow-up, I just found some weird behavior when typesetting
local/text notes using columns. The code below describes the issue. (As the
notes are counted by page I really didn't need to use localnotes, so the
problem of footnotes disappearing is solved.)

\definenote[afiliação]%[numberconversion=set 2]

\setupnote[afiliação][

%paragraph=yes,

rule=off,

location=text,

]

\setupnotation[afiliação][numberconversion=a, way=bypage,

%location=text,

%alternative=serried, % no effect

alternative=hanging,

width=fit, % broad

%distance=.5em,

%display=no

] % or set 1

% n=3 doesn’t work


\setupnotation[footnote][location={bottom,left},alternative=hanging,distance=.5em]



\starttext


Note\footnote{This should be at the bottom, but if I use columns it goes
just below the columns.}


%{% local notes have to be enclosed, otherwise footenotes below don’t appear

Author 1\afiliação{asdf} Author 2\afiliação{asdf}
\dorecurse{5}{\afiliação{Nota explicativa.}}


\startcolumns[n=3]

\placenotes[afiliação]

\stopcolumns

%}

% end local notes



\blank[big]


This footnote will disapear completely if I use localnotes and don’t
enclose them.\footnote{Where does it go?}

In this case you would have something like :

After all, one can do
\resetcounter[uppgift] 
before 'Answers to exercises'.

If 'Exercises' and 'Answers to exercises' are some head structure (assuming 
unnumbered since they are so in your example):
\definehead[exercises][subject]
\definehead[answers][subject]
then you can simply do 
\setupenumeration[uppgift]
[alternative=left,

 text=,
 after={\blank[2*big]},

and ConTeXt will automatically restart the number at every new subject block.

I’ve been doing this in my exams to define exercises in a structural way.

\defineenumeration[uppgift]
\setupenumerations[uppgift][alternative=left,width=1cm,text= 
,after={\blank[2*big]}]

\starttext

1 Answers to first exercise

2 Answers to second exercise

I hope that is clear enough to describe what I want to achieve

Many thanks in advance

Yours Sincerely

Of course ! I’ve seen these quotes ! 
I don’t know what is the purpose of ICCPROFILES ...

fc-cache -v -f works fine on MacOS aswell as on Linux; try some command like 
this one : fc-list : file family |grep \/Library which list all fonts and their 
location

I thought that all personal fonts should be added in texmf-fonts ? 

By the way, it might be useful to have . setuptex command. How to deal with 
such a situation, when mtxrun command doesn’t work ?

Re: [NTG-context] Critical Editions?

[hanneder--- via ntg-context]

Dear Bruce and Hans,

thanks for you responses and I apologize for the lengthy post, which  
is just to give you an

impression of the current practice in my field (Sanskrit Studies, Indology).

For the last two decades edmac and its further developments (now  
reledmac) have become the standard
for critical editions. In my experience the basic requirements for  
typesetting critical editions

were and are:

- footnotes have to be formatted in paragraphs
- multiple footnotes layers stacked below the critical text must be possible
- automatic reference to linenumbers
- or: manual references to verse numbers
- language specific requirements (more complicated, see below)

In the last years new requirements have been added:

- some funding institutions in the academic world practically enforce  
online editions

- data have to be made available in TEI xml format

This is where a new (LuaTeX) package called ekdosis, currently being  
developed by Robert Alessi,
comes in. It produces a printed version and in the same TeX run an xml  
file. In an ongoing
editorial project we are using this method and it works very well.  
While the system is ingenious
and a great relief (for we do not have to work with xml directly), I  
am also critical about these
new demands, because they force us to use a fairly complex system for  
sometimes quite simple tasks.
I am a Sanskritist, we do not have huge budgets or a large staff, so  
efficiency is an issue. We
also do not have the resources for the long-term care for data such as  
online editions, but this is

another problem.

In a previous project, a large edition (3 verses, 15 years), I  
tried to use the easiest
method. It turned out that edmac was not even necessary and not using  
it made the main file from
which we are working very readable and greatly simplified daily work.  
Just to give you an
impression from our input file: The first two lines in the next  
paragraph are the Sanskrit text in
transcription, \var produces a variant with reference to the verse  
number and verse quarter
(a-d). So no line numbering was even necessary. The \lem produces the  
sign that divides the
critical text and its witnesses from the variants, usually "]", the  
rest are sigla, like S1, S3

etc.

mumukṣuvyavahāroktimayāt prakaraṇād anu   \danda
athotpattiprakaraṇaṃ mayedaṃ parikathyate  \sloka{1.5}
   \var{5b}{anu \Sseven \Sft \lem \emph{param} \Sone \Sthree \Snine  
\Ntwelve \Ntw}


I used pdflatex and memoir, which has paragraphed footnotes. Here is  
the relevant section from the

preamble:

\renewcommand*{\@makefnmark}{}
\newfootnoteseries{P}
\paragraphfootstyle{P}
\renewcommand{\thefootnoteP}{}
\footmarkstyleP{}
\renewcommand{\@makefnmarkP}{\hskip-2.2pt}
\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{}
\setlength{\stockheight}{6in}
\renewcommand{\linenumberfont}{\normalfont\tiny}
\setlength{\linenumbersep}{0pt}\setlength{\linenumberwidth}{0pt}\modulolinenumbers[2]
\setlength{\footmarkwidth}{0em}
\setlength{\footmarksep}{-\footmarkwidth}
\addtolength{\skip\footins}{2mm plus 1mm}
\leftskip=.2cm% indent of the verses
\def\var#1#2{\footnoteP{#1 #2}}  % footnotes


This is what I compiled from different examples (I am not a  
programmer), but it worked -- the

edition has produced quite a few volumes and is almost finished!

Working with this file was easy, because one could easily read the  
text.  The usual edmac code
would have required us to identify an lemma with \edtext and then  
write the variant directly into
the text. This may not matter in the case of few variants, but with  
many variants the text is
quickly rendered unreadable -- even with all tricks to make footnotes  
invisible (I use folding in
emacs). The following would be a single example verse (32 syllables,  
same size as the one quoted

above), encoded in ekdosis and with lots of manuscripts:

\begin{tlg}[hp16][]
\tl{
\app{\lem[wit={ceteri}]{manthāna}
 \rdg[type=stemmaerror,wit={B2}]{\unm śrīmanthāna} % stemma error
