[NTG-context] newest version on teTeX-3.0
Hello,
does somebody already have some experience with the installation of the
newest ConTeXt version (2005.06.03) on teTeX-3.0 ?
With a minimal test-file (\starttext hello \stoptext) I have still two
little problems:
"texexec test" runs ok, but "dvips test" gives the following messages:
This is dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2005.06.03:2232' -> test.ps
dvips: expected number in \printpaperwidth ,\printpaperheight, returning 10
dvips: expected units in \printpaperwidth ,\printpaperheight, assuming inches.

kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
dvips: Font ec-lmr12 not found, characters will be left blank.
. [1]
The problem with the \printpaperwidth etc is not so serious, since I can
overwrite the \dosetuppaper macro:
\definespecial\dosetuppaper#1#2#3{%
\special{papersize=\the\printpaperwidth,\the\printpaperheight}}
But for the ec-lmr12 problem, I would appreciate some help. I've already
tried some commands like "updmap-sys --enable Map ec-public-lm.map" but
without success.
This is what I've done for the installation (as root):
unzipping the cont-xxx.zip files in /opt/teTeX/texmf-dist
then "mktexlsr"
then "texexec --make --all"
and at the end another "mktexlsr"
TIA for any help!
Cheers, Peter

[NTG-context] \startitemize[beforehead=xxx]
Hello,
does somebody know how to get some space between two \head entries in the
ConTeXt-way?
I tried the following, but without success:
\starttext
begin
\startitemize[packed][beforehead=\blank,headstyle=bold]
\head head\par
line
\head head\par
line
\head head\par
line
\stopitemize
end
\stoptext
Only with the following hack, I get the desired result:
\starttext
begin
\startitemize[packed][headstyle=bold]
\let\headO\head
\def\head{\blank\headO}
\head head\par
line
\head head\par
line
\head head\par
line
\stopitemize
end
\stoptext
Cheers, Peter

Thank you very very much!!
This can be the base for some really nice modules, that I'm going to write.
Of course, I'll put them on the wiki!

[NTG-context] dvipdfmx support
Hi, For those using dvipdfmx (e.g. with aleph) ther eis a new windows version at: http://www.metz.supelec.fr/~popineau/downloads/bin-dvipdfm-2005-05-07-win32-static.zip I patched spec-dpx, texexec and ctxtools to make working with it more comfortable - texexec understands the --dpx switch and will run dvipdfmx automatically (it also sets some env variables that are needed to isolate dvipdfmx and pdftex; awaiting a better solution in tds/kpse) (newtexexec also understand this and a bit more) - context will pass map file names to dvipdfmx in the same way as it does with pdftex (use \loadmapfile to load additional ones) - ctxtools can be used to convert pdftex map files into dvipdfmx ones (i may switch to some common format coded in xml that can be converted to either map format although before it comes to that pdftex/dvipdfmx/dvips may understand a common simple text format, work is in progress on that); another option is to use \loadmapline and make typescripts (and thereby get rid of mapfiles but i need to discuss that with mr. Adam Typescript Lindsay first -) usage: ctxtools --dpx e:/tex/texmf-local (--force to make it really happen) i uploaded yet another zip (i hope that this compensates Idris' experience with fonts in recent distribuitions -) Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Hans, have you considered adding frame options
{top,bottom,left,right}rulethickness=dimension
similar to the current
{top,bottom,left,right}frame=on/off ? How hard would it be?
doable but it would slow down context necause it would be implemented in
core-rule.tex which is used all over the place
as with offsets, these things are on to do lists; for the moment, usign metapost
is an option (since you can plug in backgrounds in table cells)

Re: [NTG-context] PSNFSS in new ConTeXt?
\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[pos] which used to work before doesn't work neither on my Mac nor at live @ contextgarden.net. How does one access these fonts? (And sorry for blaming gwTeX for this!) It is really not Gerben's fault! At some point the pos-typescript has been deprecated (at least according to the comments in tex/context/base/type-pre.tex). However, the typescript file is now enclosed in \starttypescriptcollection[previous] ... \stoptypescriptcollection These might give you some hint about how to proceed. --- The more modern way of solving this problem is to forget about the old pos collection and leverage the user value by embracing the novel typescript paradigm. (Oops, sorry, my marketing-bs-generator seems to be breaking in.) The modern way to get to use the free URW fonts is to run context/data/type-tmf.dat (or, rather, run texfont and give type-tmf.dat as a batch file). This will enable using a lot of nice fonts in the URW collection. However, there are two gotchas: 1. With gwTeX, running the command texfont --encoding=ec --batch type-tmf.dat at least previously resulted in some errors about unknown files. They may be fixed with an ugly hack: replace all occurences of TEXMFMAIN by TEXMFTE in type-tmf.dat. 2. After the fonts are installed, you have the fonts. Nice. But no typescripts. Not so nice. I have made some typescripts for Palatino/Helvetica/Courier and SchoolBook/Helvetica/Courier combinations. There might be something already done in the ConTeXt distribution, but I have not found anything that useful. (I can Wiki them if someone finds it useful.) Good luck! - Ville ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
