Smallcaps use the regular where the “smallcaps” features are applied, to use
also your “main” features you have to use this setup:

Between paragraphs should just work like that.
Both examples (1st page multipage insertion) place the snippet on its own
page, e.g. this gives me a 3 page document w/ snippet on page 2:
\def\readPDFfile#1{\externalfigure[#1]}
\usemodule[filter]
\defineexternalfilter[lilypond]

\starttext
\input zapf
\inlinelilypond{c d e f g a b c}
\input zapf
\stoptext
(same result for \startlilypond … \stoplilypond)
OS X Mavericks
If you’d like to avoid \startlilypond … \stoplilypond, try \inlinelilypond{…}
If the one \include line is too much for your use case, you should look into
how you can inject that automatically in the buffer file.
If you don’t want to include your lilypond settings file every time, follow
the advise in filter’s docs regarding LaTeX package „skak“ („Prepend and

Re: [NTG-context] Lilypond
Hi Aditya Hraban,
I'm very glad to see improved Lilypond integration being discussed. I can't
offer too much besides moral support, but would just point out one solution
I've found for proper width/alignment of a snippet with extra-staff material
(e.g. a piano staff marker { ): If the ConTeXt textwidth is equal to the
Lilypond line-width, aligning the float to the right gives you a snippet nicely
aligned with flush text (extra-staff material being pushed towards the left
margin).
Something like this (as in the example in the garden):
\def\readlilypondoutput#1{\setupfloats[location=right,frame=off]\placefigure[]{}}{\externalfigure[#1]}}
Regards,
David

Yes. I can support the following syntax:

\startbuffer[fullscore] ... \stopbuffer
\startbuffer[common] ... \stopbuffer
\startlilypond[bufferbefore={snippets,common}, bufferafter={}]
\stoplilypond
(In fact, provide similar support for anything defined using the filter
module).
The other thing is to be able to change linespace, papersize, offset, etc
using parameters, so that one can say:
\startlilypond[linespace=...]
...
\stoplilypond
This will require some lua side processing.
You mean, translate ConTeXt-style settings to LilyPond settings, like we did
with the old module?
Yes.
That wouldn’t make much sense. LilyPond just has too much settings. And most
of them you can set in different ways. To fully support this, you’d need a
complete LilyPond parser including Scheme. And a small set of settings is
never the right set for everyone.
OK.
Ok, there are a few settings that we could translate, e.g. set ConTeXt’s
main fonts also for LilyPond.
Agreed. Does anyone know how to get the name of the current font in MkIV?
We don’t need LilyPond's layout settings, as long as we go the
\externalfigure path.
But I think that at least automatic paper size settings (set paper size to be
equal to text area) are needed.
I don’t know a solution for line breaking of scores - if you’d set
LilyPond’s page size to ConTeXt’s remaining space, it would stay the same
for the second page. Perhaps we can get single lines (systems) and let
ConTeXt to the page breaking. I’ll look into that.
OK.
But I don’t know how we can make it right WRT LilyPond snippets - I’d want
to align a note systems’s base line with ConTeXt’s text baseline, but the
height and clipping of a snippet depends on the visible elements. Without
some picture analysis (or runtime data from LilyPond, that doesn’t exist
AFAIK) you need to adjust your snippets manually.
Does lilypond-book handle this at all? It does not appear to. Manually
adjusting each inline snippet will be too much work, IMO.
Do you know how lilypond numbers its output files. In some cases I get
filename-1.pdf sometimes not. Can I force it to always give filename-1.pdf
or always give filename.pdf
LilyPond adds a number to EPS, if there’s more that one page.
But in my songbook setup, I always get a filename-temp-lilypond-##.eps plus
an identical filename-temp-lilypond-##-1.eps
When you order more than one \midi{} in several \score blocks, the first
MIDI file is unnumbered, the second gets number 1 etc.; didn’t try with
different \layout blocks yet.
Seems like I must do some tests with multipage scores.
Look at the current version on github. It should be able to handle multi-page
snippets.

RE:
From the garden:
The LilyPond module doesn't work any more with recent versions of ConTeXt. You
can simply replace it with the Filter module like this:
\def\readPDFfile#1{\externalfigure[#1]}
\usemodule[filter]
\defineexternalfilter[lilypond]
[continue=yes,
readcommand=\readPDFfile,
directory=lilytemp/, % directory for LilyPond's files

filtercommand={lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts
-dinclude-eps-fonts -ddelete-intermediate-files
-olilytemp/\externalfilterbasefile \externalfilterinputfile}]
You can't use \setuplilypond any more, but there is a better replacement:
Collect your LilyPond settings in a .ly file, put it in your lilytemp directory
and include it from within your lilypond block like this:
\startlilypond
\include mysettings.ly
...
\stoplilypond

This is not the best time to be out of a job, but nevertheless I have decided to try to make the most of it an attempt to make an old dream happen: being my own boss. Since quite some time already I have had a private company called Bittext that I use for various bits and pieces that simply did not fit in with Elvenkind's company strategy (its original intent was to place my font development work in that company, but it has also been used as the company behind organizing the ConTeXt Epen meeting in 2007, for example). For the development of luatex and metapost, I do not expect that much to change compared to the current situation: Hans and I will continue to write funding proposals and we hope that enough of those will be granted so that I can keep that development work going much like it is. (about a 50% commitment working on these two programs in an average working week). However, for ConTeXT and other TeX-related things, the situation is a bit more problematic. Pragma ADE does not have money to fund any projects, even if I managed to find something to excite Hans that he couldn't do faster himself ;). To find the missing source of income, I intend to start giving commercial ConTeXt courses and I plan to start selling manuals via lulu. Perhaps there is a bit of consultancy that can be found as well, and I will try to regain some of my old mathematical typesetting clients. But I fear that even all of that together will generate enough income for me to continue developing modules and offering help for free. Therefore, the planned bib module replacement will be released as commercial software, and support for other ConTeXT stuff (like the current bib module) will become a paid service. Probably via a subscription website, that will (for example) also host my release notes. I am brooding on other ConTeXt module ideas that people may be willing to pay for, and I will finish the font projects that are still on my disk for sale via my website. This April (until around BachoTeX) I will still be busy preparing the luatex and metapost binaries for the TeXlive 2009 deadline, but after that I will likely drop offline for a while, creating the Bittext website ( http://www.bittext.com ) and figuring out things like how to be on the receiving end of Lulu and PayPal. Well, that is about all I wanted to say right now. I am quite apprehensive about how this news will fall in the ConTeXT community, but I see no other way. And I must admit that at the same time I am quite excited about being in control of my own destiny, as they say!

[NTG-context] Embedded fonts question
Greetings all, A sad story: My context-typeset dissertation was printed/distributed by a POD publisher with aweful typographical errors (like all commas in the main font being replaced by an ff ligature). Obviously the printer didn't check their results. The file reads fine both for me and the publisher, but the printer let us know that the file is unprintable due to problems with fonts not being embedded (why they originally printed an unprintable file I'll never know). Now as far as I can tell, fonts are embedded. It was made with context MKII, using hz and hanging punctuation, etc. When I look at the document in Adobe Acrobat, and check the document/font details, it gives a list of embedded fonts only. I'm not certain that the printer is in the right, but how can I tell? Is it possible that the pdf was altered when transferred from me to the publisher then to the printer? That compression of the pdf (zip) had any impact? Any other possibilities? What do you need to know to offer advice? ---I can send the file or a part of it if it is needed.

Hi David, if the printer didn't alter the file and the fonts were embedded in the original PDF document, they didn't vanished. The zip compression doesn't alter those things (AFAIK). A way to check whether the fonts are embedded or not, you can download ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.02pl2-dos6.zip (if you are using Windows) and run from the command-line pdffonts dissertation-filename.pdf Replace dissertation-filename.pdf with the actual file name and pdffonts will display all font information. If this is too complicated for you, send me the original file in a private reply and I will post the results. I hope it helps, Pablo Thanks, Pablo and Luigi, I was able to run pdffonts and check my file, it agrees with adobe acrobat in saying that all fonts are embedded. SoI'm going to send the publisher the current file and see what happens. I'm only 98% sure that it's exactly the same as the original file I sent, so I am slightly hopeful that it will work out better.

This not only safes some 40K format file, but the new mechanism also runs faster (some 10% overhead on 300 pages of pure text, which is rare). At some point we need to extend the hz/protruding vectors in mkiv to cover non latin scripts as well (currently they default to factors of 1). As with mkiv, latin glyphs fall back to their shape parent. Under some circumstances hz may not work as expected. Fixing this is on the agenda for the next luatex beta release.

I was compiling via the ConTeXt TextMate bundle and it must call mate for some reason at that point. pstopdf is off the hook ;) Dave On Aug. 27, 2007, at Aug 27, 3:54 AM, Mojca Miklavec wrote: On 8/27/07, David Wooten wrote: On Aug. 26, 2007, at Aug 26, 6:44 PM, Mojca Miklavec wrote: On 8/27/07, David Wooten wrote: Greetings all, In trying to run Mojca's latest Lilypond extension with MKIV (on an Intel Mac), I've been receiving the errors after pstopdf is run, which I've never seen before: *** sysctlbyname_with_pid: sysctl failed:Operation not permitted is_pid_native: sysctlbyname_with_pid failed:Operation not permitted *** According to google this seems to be mac-specific problem, and the first think that comes to my mind are problems with GhostScript during conversion.

[NTG-context] Lilypond MKIV, pstopdf, sysctl errors?
Greetings all,
In trying to run Mojca's latest Lilypond extension with MKIV (on an
Intel Mac), I've been receiving the errors after pstopdf is run,
which I've never seen before:
***
sysctlbyname_with_pid: sysctl failed:Operation not permitted
is_pid_native: sysctlbyname_with_pid failed:Operation not permitted
***
This is from near the bottom of the log file (included below). These
errors do not always appear, but once they start, they don't go away.
Furthermore, I receive the message:
2007-08-26 16:36:16.584 open[2988] No such file: /Users/wooten/
Desktop/Test/LilyLua-lilypond-1.pdf
When it does actually exist, and I have to run texmfstart again to
get a changed PDF.
I can't find much on the sysctl errors. Anyone see a possible
connection?
Best,
David

Re: [NTG-context] Buffers (gone) in MK IV (was: MK IV Lilypond)

Hans has mentioned several times that buffers are not going to be
written to files with luaTeX any more. This has a weird
consequence on
many modules which relied exactly on that trick.
Short example of what goes wrong:
\starttext
\startbuffer[a]
Hello world!
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer[a]
%\executesystemcommand{dosomethingwith \jobname-a.tmp}
\stoptext
The problem is that MK II created a file \jobname-a.tmp and lilypond
module processed exactly that file further. In MK IV, that file
is not
created any more (you can check that by running the above example
with
--lua first and then with pdfTeX again. Only in the second case a
file
[whateverthefilename]-a.tmp is created.)
Lilypond module relied on that feature (I would rather call it
dirty-but-very-useful-trick).
Hans, what's the current general recipe for this kind of [mis]use
of buffers?
I'll add savebuffer to core-buf.*
Thanks a lot for that one!
% engine=luatex
\startluacode
if not buffers.save then
function buffers.save(name)
if not name or name == then
name = tex.jobname
end
local b, f = buffers.data[name],
string.format(%s-%s.tmp,tex.jobname,name)
b = (b and type(b) == table and table.join(b)) or b
or
io.savedata(f,b)
end
end
\stopluacode
\def\savebuffer{\dosingleempty\dosavebuffer}
\def\dosavebuffer[#1]{\ctxlua{buffers.save(#1)}}
\starttext
\startbuffer[oeps]
oeps
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer
oepsoeps
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[oeps] \savebuffer
\stoptext
I now tried to add the following three lines to t-lilypond.tex:
\def\PDF{texmfstart --ifchanged=\lily!filename.eps pstopdf \lily!
filename.eps}
\beginLUATEX
\savebuffer[lilypond-\the\lily!figures]%
\endLUATEX
\ifeof18
\installprogram{\LP}%
etc.
But luaTeX now reports the following to console:
system (LUATEX) : [line 32] \savebuffer [lilypond-\the \lily!figures
]\endLUATEX \ifeof 18 \installprogram {\LP }\doif \jobsuffix
{pdf}{\installprogram {\PDF }}\else \executesystemcommand {\LP }\doif

It seems like a problem with grouping, but I have no idea how to
prevent luaTeX from parsing the input further from what it's supposed
to read.

[NTG-context] \startMPenvironment : personal font weirdness
Greetings all,
I've been experimenting with MetaPost/Fun of late. It is indeed fun. In
trying to have a uniform font in both text and MP areas, however, I am
running into some difficulty. With a little file like this:
---
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\startMPenvironment [global]
\usetypescript[palatino][ec]
\switchtobodyfont[palatino,12pt]
\stopMPenvironment
\starttext
The following example should be very interesting:
\blank
\startuseMPgraphic{very-interesting}
z40 = (2cm,0cm); z41 = (3cm,0cm) ;
z42 = (3cm,1cm); z43 = (2cm,1cm) ;
z46 = (2.5cm,.5cm) ;
path F ; F := (z40--z41--z42--z43--cycle) ;
linejoin := mitered ;
drawpath F ;
label(very, z46) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{very-interesting}
\stoptext
---
everything works very nicely (fonts identical). When I use my own
typescript file, however:
---
\startMPenvironment [global]
\usetypescriptfile[minionpro-diss]
\usetypescript[Minion]
\switchtobodyfont[Minion,12pt]
\stopMPenvironment
---
The text appears in the correct font, but the MP section, _while at
first showing the correct font_, then changes to CM before my eyes. (my
pdf viewer auto-updates).
Any clues?
Many thanks,
David

[NTG-context] Charts, Graphs, Tufte, and ConTeXt
Greetings all, I've been itching to stop using Illustrator and other programs to make the charts and graphs I wish to include in my ConTeXt-generated documents, and would like to get some advice on the matter. There is a special (albeit not well furnished) place in my heart for Tufte's /Visual Display of Quantitative Information/, so I suppose I am always leaning towards that philosophy of chart-making. I came across Jean-luc Doumont's article /Drawing effective (and beautiful) graphs with TeX* [1]/, in which he refers to his macro package called JLdraw---and shows some pretty examples. JLdraw was in fact never generally released, although when I contacted him he was happy to send along the macro package. In beginning to tinker with them, I have not had much luck getting them to work within ConTeXt, undoubtedly due to my persistent naiveté. Thus I'm curious as to what others use... is R an efficient method to produce elegant charts? Is straight MetaPost preferable? Many thanks, David [1] http://www.tug.org/TUG99-web/pdf/doumont2.pdf ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Mojca Miklavec wrote: Thus I'm curious as to what others use... is R an efficient method to produce elegant charts? Is straight MetaPost preferable? With metapost you can surely achive most beautiful results and it is not as difficult to learn as TeX-programming. Of course you might need more time to draw what you need or to write your own set of macros, but if you have high demands about quality this might be the way to go. However, if you prefer doing it quicly using the existing tools (be aware that you have to learn how to use those tools as well), R or gnuplot might be an interesting choice. You'll be limited by the power of those two tools, but in most cases they should suffice for the normal usage. The gnuplot module is still in development (I've been just begging Hans for help a few hours ago ;). Take a look at the demo section of gnuplot (http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.1/) to see if it can offer you what you want to do. In that case ask on the list again, I'll give you further pointers how to use it with ConTeXt (http://pub.mojca.org/gnuplot). But basically you can take any program to draw graphs and include the resulting PDFs. I'm afraid that the macros from the paper which you pointed to, use some PostScript code that cannot be handled as-is (you need some conversion to PDF first) and I'm affraid that the effort put into making it work woudn't pay off now that you have a great varienty of other plotting programs, including metapost itself (esp. if the package has never been released - you'll probably hardly get any support for it). Mojca Thanks very much for your reply. Your advice seems strong, and in truth I have been intrigued by MetaPost for many years. This certainly seems a valid excuse to delve into it ;) David ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Fonts: Margin kerning: quotes not hanging?
Greetings ConTeXters, I've noticed recently that quotation marks (single + double), as well as parens, and perhaps others are not undergoing the expected margin kerning adjustments. Expected being those that are assigned to them in hand-def.tex. Punctuation like . , ; - -- --- all kern as expected. Is hand-def.tex just an example file? While I expect I'll have to make fine tuning adjustments in my font's own typescript file, where should I make overall adjustments? (e.g. I pretty much always want quotes to hang.) I'm using Adobe Minion Pro in this case, if this makes a difference. Thanks very much, David ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] Font memory issues ?
Well, it is certainly very good to know that I'm not crazy (this time round). Thanks very much for tracking this down. Hans' suggestion works very well---the typescript file is pretty big for this font family, so there were quite a few fonts set up with hz that have no need for them. Many thanks, and if the chance arises (perhaps in San Francisco), many beers. David On Jan 19, 2006, at 1:44 PM, Hans Hagen wrote: Taco Hoekwater wrote: Oh, d**mn. I just had a brainwave. From Web2c's tex.ch comes the following: @!inf_font_mem_size = 2; @!sup_font_mem_size = 200; So font_memory cannot be set larger than 200 and not smaller than 2. Out-of-bounds sizes are silently folded back in line, but that happens after the variable expansion is complete. That's why the debug switch still reports the values from texmf.cnf. So the actual problem here is the web2c runtime code inside TeX. You can recompile with a larger sup_font_mem_size, I guess. But otherwise you are out of luck. so, is it possible to increase the upper limit in the code? hz seems to need it for the moment a way out is to limit hz to the regular font shape, i.e. don't use it for bold, italic, slanted etc another option is to limit the number of instances (steps) Hans ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] Font memory issues ?
Thanks Thomas, I've still no luck, but I think things are quite a bit clearer now. I stumbled across an old fink installation, the existence of which hadn't crossed my mind for quite some time. That is now gone. I have also reinstalled my tex/context set-up via the i-Installer just to clear the air. Here is what I currently see: there are 3 cnf files that may be involved: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/context.cnf Which declares: % This file is mostly the same as the one that ships with % texlive, but adapted for multiple trees as well as % development in a non tds tree (i.e. hh's machine). This % file is meant for context users. % % This file loads before texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf; beware : % the selfish auto parent can get in the way especially when % the binaries are located elsewhere. In case of multiple % trees, one can best set the following ones manually. I believe that Hans said this was just an example file (?), but it has the memory.context settings including: font_max.context =2000 font_mem_size.context= 100 main_memory.context = 200 Second, there is: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Which is referred to in the above context.cnf, and which declares: % original texmf.cnf -- runtime path configuration file for kpathsea. % (If you change or delete `original' on the previous line, the % distribution won't install its version over yours.) % Public domain. [Stuff skipped] % Earlier entries (in the same or another file) override later ones, and % an environment variable foo overrides any texmf.cnf definition of foo. This file also has memory settings, such as: % ConTeXt is a memory hog... main_memory.context = 200 % Keep total within 800 limit extra_mem_bot.context = 400 % Words of font info for TeX (total size of all TFM files, approximately). font_mem_size = 200 % Total number of fonts. Must be = 50 and = 2000 (without tex.ch changes). font_max = 2000 And finally, /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf Which is identified by kpsewhich texmf.cnf and which has no memory settings. I have tried changing the memory settings in each file (that means adding them to /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf), raising the main_memory to 300 and the font_mem_size likewise to 300, and then running texexec --make --all. No change in the resulting readout: Here is how much of TeX's memory you used: 4681 strings out of 60921 74346 string characters out of 610603 4609149 words of memory out of 7114466 40727 multiletter control sequences out of 1+5 1927616 words of font info for 332 fonts, out of 200 for 2000 232 hyphenation exceptions out of 5000 62i,21n,81p,1198b,1755s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,6000p, 20b,4s PDF statistics: 170 PDF objects out of 30 0 named destinations out of 131072 109061 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 128383 At this point I would very much like to be embarrassed by a simple, too-obvious pointer ;) Thanks very much, David On Jan 17, 2006, at 10:31 AM, Thomas A.

[NTG-context] Bib Module: bibl-ssa
Greetings all, Taco, I've just run across a small bug in the bibl-ssa style for the bib- module. The (wonderful) mechanism for deleting subsequent identical names goes a little too far if the first item in the bibliography is an edited book---that is, editor(s) only, and no author(s). A little too far meaning the first item is printed without the editor's name.

[NTG-context] New bibliography beta
Greetings all, esp. Taco,
I'm finally working with the new bib module, it works quite well.
I've found one curiosity: I have a /defineparagraphs (semi?)-kludge
in a modified bibl- file to take care of some wonky (but beautiful)
layout demands. It worked perfectly in the last version:
\defineparagraphs [bibpar]
[n=3,before=\vskip -1.75\baselineskip,after=\vskip -1.25
\baselineskip,distance=.2em,align={hz,hanging}]
\setupparagraphs [bibpar] [1]
[width=1.5em]
\setupparagraphs [bibpar] [2]
[width=3.3em]
What appears to be happening is that the after command no longer
has any effect---regardless of its content. The before command
works as expected.
Thanks again for your time,
David

Re: [NTG-context] Mini-survey: What do you do with ConTeXt?
What do you do with ConTeXT? I'm using ConTeXt to typeset my Ph.D. dissertation, and have used it over the last few years to typeset seminar papers, outlines, and so on. Recently I've also helped a friend typeset his monograph. He is an architect and painter, so this text is full of diagrams, paintings, fold-out pages, prose, and indexes. ConTeXt made it possible to generate a really beautiful, complex book. I believe that there was nothing he wanted to do that we couldn't work out with ConTeXt. For some reason I've always enjoyed working through the difficulties of using a complex program that I know should work—this reached a high point with plain TeX, then LaTeX, and carried on (due to my always being restless) to my favorite: ConTeXt. Installation of fonts was particularly difficult, though I can't exactly say why—things go much more smoothly now. I spent many hours trying and retrying, reading and rereading, to get OT fonts working with margin kerning. I feel much more connection with the history and practice of typesetting working with ConTeXt than with any WYSIWYG system I've tried. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

for the bib module. And if not, then both should require the same fix.

Greetings all Adam, Having successfully installed Jenson Minion Pro I've been trying to get Myriad Pro to install as a companion Sans (motivated in part by the fact that Adam has a nice typescript file for Warnock Pro with Myriad).

[NTG-context] placefigure inmargin; inmargin justification
Greetings all,
I've been experimenting a little with margin-notes, and am wondering
if there is support for running the inmargin text around a figure, e.g.
\inmargin{\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[Figgy][width=4em]}
Interesting words.}
The above places the figure and the text on top of each other.
It also appears that there is no option in an inmargin text to have
both-sides-justified. Is this a general stylistic assumption? In this
instance, my margins are to be unusually large.
And finally, if it's simply the case here, is there a nice way to
achieve a similar result (as margin notes) on multiple pages, two-
sided, where the main text width runs normally from page to page? I'm
thinking of perhaps pseudo-columns.

Yes, \uccode and \lccode are encoding-dependent and are defined in

add the their definition between

Re: [NTG-context] bib: potential range of bibliography styles?
Great, that does the trick. Another quickie:
This bib style demands that the first author/editor is invertedauthor, while the subsequent authors/editors are normalauthor, e.g.:
WOOTEN, David and Charles M. SCHULZ and Kris KRINGLE.
2005. Adventures in Babysitting, etc.
Is there currently the possibility of distinguishing between the first subsequent authors? (From my preliminary investigations it looks like all authors automatically follow the declared style.)

make it come out like below (all that should be doable using just
the documented features of the bib module), then I will help you
'compress' the repeating authors afterwards, ok?

An example from the typescript file: \usetypescriptfile [type-buy] \loadmapfile [8r-stf-andulka-book.map] \starttypescript [serif] [andulka-book] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Andulka-Book] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [andulka-book] [8r] \definefontsynonym [Andulka-Book] [8r-andulkabook] Ah-ha. ConTeXt isn't *that* clever about names. At the end of the font synonym chain, you need to associate the font name with an encoding explicitly. The typescript names are just symbols (for the most part) that signal to ConTeXt which groups of definitions to use. Therefore, the above line should be: \definefontsynonym [Andulka-Book] [8r-andulkabook] [encoding=8r] Bravo, that does it.

Re: [NTG-context] Initial Font Installation Question (Mac)
Greetings ConTeXters
I'm back to ask another question:
After an initial successful installation of the purchased fonts, I've
come to find that there is a serious quirk. That is, when I try to use
any special glyph, be it an accented character of any kind, or e.g. an
eth. The result of something like \a (or \{a}) is _a_ without the
diacritic. Curiously (to me, at least:), if I enter the actual glyph:
, it gives me the character I needbut only for a few runs! After
adding a couple more of such alternative glyphs, it starts to show
gibberish. Some trials evince an ff-ligature as the diacritic. Errors
in the mapping/virtual font/?
Again I hope to save myself some time by asking to be pointed in the
right direction, as my initial searches haven't really helped.
Kind Regards,
David Wooten

Just a quick reply:
having the afm is already very good. The file without an extension
looks suspiciously like a Mac font resource. Can you try running the
utility fondu on it (from the command line)? That will usually
produce the pfbs (very likely, there's more than one: roman, italics,
bold ...). Texfont, btw, can equally well work with truetype fonts, so
if you have a proper tryetype font with extension .ttf. you might as
well use this. texfont will produce a map entry that you will have to
modify a bit (so it points to a .ttf instead of the default .pfb), but
that's not too difficult. As to names: don't bother, ConTeXt is happy
with whatever name you throw at it.
Only a couple things to add:
When fondu generates the .pfb file, copy the .afm to share the new
(probably longer) filename.
Texfont on MacOSX trips on capital letter extensions: make sure they're
uniformly lower case.
If fondu fails you (it hasn't failed me yet), there's also t1unmac
(lcdf.org).
And if texfont installation fails or inexplicably stalls, you might
need
to go in and truncate long (255+ character) lines by manually editing
the
text file. I've always found these to be comment/copyright lines, so
you're not hurting anything by doing so.
You lucky so-and-so for getting Andulka!

Hmm, this is great. However, I can't seem to get it to accept an image (Image=true or Image=yes). Anyone else have some luck?

[NTG-context] Initial Font Installation Question (Mac)
Greetings all, I've been having a lot of fun struggling with the installation of a newly purchased font, and wanted to double check a preliminary question before I give in and ask a more thorough question ;) I'm working with Mac OS X, so I bought a font-set with both Mac TTF and Postscript files. The Postscript folders have 2 types of file for each fontname: .afm and another without a suffix. The names also have uppercase letters, such as AndulBooBol (a.k.a. Andulka Book Bold). For the texfont script, it apparently needs the .afm files and .pfb files. Thus: 1) Are these non-suffixed files the .pfb files in question? If so, should I rename (add .pfb to) them before trying to install them? (I could convert the TTF files to .pfb?) 2) Should I take away the UpperCaseLettering as well? Rename them to something more Berry-like? In fact, I've tried these things with no success, but before I spell out the details of my failure I thought I would get this straight. Kind regards, David Wooten ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Error messages with first attempts to use ConTeXt
Greetings all,
I'm a LaTeXer who is intrigued by ConTeXt. I'm running Mac OS 10.3,
using Gerben Wierda's i-Installer, and have been receiving some error
messages with my first attempts that a little searching-around haven't
been clarified. Without the latest ConTeXt update from the i-Installer,
