[NTG-context] Using a system font
Minimum working example:
\starttext
I want to use the Mathjax_Fraktur font, which the font-manager on Ubuntu
reports that it has.
{\switchtobodyfont[Mathjax_Fraktur] .. but, this text doesn't show up in
Mathjax_Fraktur.}
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Why are endnotes not working with ConTeXt-SBL?
This actually seems to be rooted in a more general problem with the
publications support module. Why does invoking the fastsetup for citations
work within the default footnote setup, but not within endnotes flushed via
\placenotes[footnote]? If I modify the original MWE to use ConTeXt's
default btx rendering, I get the same error:
```
\startbuffer [bib]
@Book{clark1989,
author = {Clark, William},
title = {Railroads \word{and} railroad towns \word{in} New Mexico},
publisher = {New Mexico Magazine},
year = {1989},
address = {Albuquerque, New Mexico},
isbn = {9780937206126}
}
\stopbuffer
\usebtxdataset[bib.buffer]
\setupbtx[dataset=default]
\setupnote[footnote][location=none] % commenting out this line will produce
footnotes that expand the citation correctly
\starttext
\input knuth
\cite[alternative=footnote][clark1989]
\page
\placenotes[footnote]
\startchapter[title=Bibliography]
\placelistofpublications
\stopchapter
\stoptext
```
If it helps, the relevant code in publications support is the following
block in publ-imp-cite.mkvi:
```
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:footnote
\startfootnote
\fastsetup{btx:cite:entry}
\stopfootnote
\stopsetups
```
The \fastsetup{btx:cite:entry} doesn't expand to anything if the footnote
is flushed as an endnote via \placenotes[footnote]. Does anyone have any
idea why this happens and how to fix it?

Re: [NTG-context] startlines with long lines that break and indent

Hi all,
I am looking for a way to make startstoplines likes this:
This is a long line
that breaks,
the second line,
the third line.
So if a line in the poem is too long it shall break and indent.
Short version:
\setuplines
[ before={\blank\startnarrow[default=left,left=1cm]},
after={\stopnarrow\blank},
indenting={yes,-1cm}]
\showframe[text][text]
\starttext
before
\startlines
text \dorecurse{10}{ text}
text \dorecurse{40}{ text}
text \dorecurse{10}{ text}
\stoplines
after
\stoptext
Long version:
\definemeasure[Indentation][1cm]
\definenarrower
[LinesIndentation]
[ before=\blank,
after=\blank,
default=left,
left=\measure{Indentation}]
\definelines
[Poem]
[ before=\startLinesIndentation,
after=\stopLinesIndentation,
indenting={yes,-\measure{Indentation}}]
\showframe[text][text]
\starttext
before
\startPoem
text \dorecurse{10}{ text}
text \dorecurse{40}{ text}
text \dorecurse{10}{ text}
\stopPoem
after

You can play with something based on the following, which I made it
following suggestions from others. There may well be other ways, but
this works for me.
\define\Poemindent{3em}
\define\Poeminset{14em}
\definedelimitedtext[Poe]
\setupwhitespace[medium]
\showframe
\startbuffer[Poem]
This is a long line that breaks,
the second line,
the third line.
The second stanza starts.
\stopbuffer
\setupdelimitedtext[Poe][
rightmargin=\Poeminset,
leftmargin={\dimexpr\Poemindent+\Poeminset\relax},
before={\setuplines[
before=,
inbetween={\blank[small]},
after=,
]
\startlines
\setupindenting[-\Poemindent,yes]
\startparagraph},
after=\stopparagraph
\stoplines,
]
\starttext
\startparagraph
Here comes a poem – watch the lines break!
\stopparagraph
\startPoe
\inlinebuffer[Poem]
\stopPoe
\startparagraph
Now, it is gone. Good-bye.
\stopparagraph
\stoptext

A solution is to use patterns (supported in the upcoming upload): \enabledirectives [logs.errors=*] Alternatively use a compile-time switch: context --errors='*' This will make the return value reflect the presence of an error.

Re: [NTG-context] Contextual removal of some ligatures using fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature (LuaTeX 1.13.2)
On 12/25/2021 11:52 PM, Thomas Savary via ntg-context wrote:
Hi Bruce and Hans !
Thank you very much for your answers, that helped me a lot.
In fact, though I would love to switch to ConTeXt one day, I am still
using LuaLaTeX — I am a slow learner and I know it will take me months
to be able to achieve what I need for my job with ConTeXt and can do
with LuaLaTeX and the Memoir class for the time being (despite sometimes
being irritated by LaTeX limitations or oddities).
keep in mind that context font handling and latex font handling can
differ (and not all that is possible in context is in the generic font
loader code); also, in (esp in lmtx) some solutions are not bound to fonts
I need the EB Garamond variable font for future jobs, but this font,
provided by Google Fonts, is such a mess : kerning problems, unusable
OpenType features that have to be rewritten from scratch, shifts in
glyphs table… For sure, the original font by Georg Duffner was much
better, but I need the variable version. Lots of fixing necessary, but
thanks to fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature I have almost succeeded to make
it a usable Garamond.
a probably more reliable solution is to 'remove bad stuff' from the
loaded font by running over the features and removing bad matches (which
is less sensitive for order)
Of course, it would be best to help Google improving this font, but I
don’t have time yet.
is that really a google font? afaik it doesn't originate there (unless
it among those things that google grabs - and at some point possible
discards)
The actual problem was with the italic ligatures "a_s", "e_s", "é_s",
"i_s" and "u_s", that should occur only at the end of words and not
everywhere. Instead of removing the unwanted ligatures, I chose another
way as soon as I understood how to fully use “current” to describe not
only a single glyph, but a string if necessary — for instance, current={
{ "a", "e", "eacute", "i", "u"}, {"s"} }
ok, good that you got it working
