[NTG-context] Attempting to Generate PDF/A in LMTX
Following the instructions on https://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF/A, I am
receiving errors that the *.icc files cannot be located. I have saved the *.icc
files in ~/context-osx-arm64/tex/texmf-context/colors/icc/profiles per the
instructions. Here's an excerpt from the log:
backend > profiles > profile specification 'default_cmyk.icc' loaded

backend > profiles > error, couldn't locate profile
'ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc'

Here is a MWE that generates these errors:
setupinteraction
[title=TITLE,
subtitle=SUBTITLE,
author=AUTHOR,
keyword={{KEYWORD1, KEYWORD2}, KEYWORD3}]
%% For PDF/A
\setupbackend[
format={pdf/a-1b:2005}, % or pdf/a-1a:2005
profile={default_cmyk.icc,default_rgb.icc,default_gray.icc},
intent=ISO coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)]
%% Tagged PDF
%% method=auto ==> default tags by Adobe
\setupbackend[export=yes]
\setupstructure[state=start,method=auto]
\starttext
\chapter[chap:testing]{Testing}
\input knuth
\input tufte
\input knuth
\input tufte
\input knuth
\input tufte
\stoptext
What seems to be going wrong? Is the software looking for the *.icc profiles in
a different place?
Thank you!

Found it:
\registerunit [prefix] [µ=micro]
\starttext
\unit{10 micro meter} \crlf
\unit{10 µm}
\stoptext
Should this be the default (µ assigned to micro)?

Consider:
@Book {rattenhka,
author = "Bettina von Arnim and Gisela von Arnim",
title = "Das Leben der Hochgräfin Gritta von Rattenzuhausbeiuns",

The authors are usually given as “Bettina and Gisela von Arnim”
(mother and daughter; similar “Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm” as brothers
or “Bettina and Achim von Arnim” as a couple) – is there a good
solution for related authors?
Multiple authors should be treated as multiple authors. That they are
related is not and should not be a consideration in citing works. At
least this is the practice that I know of for academic texts.
You can cheat and try to define one author with a combined first name,
like
author={Eames, Ray & Earl},
but I don't know how that parses as I have never tried it; "and" is a
reserved token used to define multiple authors. I wouldn't do it as I
can think of many examples (Bjaer & Bjaer) where we give both credit,
individually.
Thank you.
It seems like database solutions like BibTeX & Cie are generally not
suitable for quoting books as they were published – and that’s important
in the contexts of “my” authors (literary studies, history).
For my ConTeXt book, I thought it would make sense, and I would jump
through some hoops just to use the system, but
– most sources that I want to list are never quoted (method=dataset)
– I would need to define my own rendering, e.g. don’t like the handling
of names
– I need additional fields (custom rendering again)
– if I refer to sources, I want a URL or file path in a footnote (custom
cite wrapper macro)
This all works fine without the btx subsysten (I just need to find
solutions for some edge cases, or avoid them), so I probably had wrong
ideas about bibliographies (at least in TeX).
OTOH, for my novel I can use the bib database approach for an extended
person register; the required rendering is much less involved.

You're right \unit{10 Farad} works.

Makes sense if you think about it. Never crossed my mind that ft not
meaning feet in this instance and also never contemplated the
existence of a “femto tonne”.

That gives some insight, indeed. Thanks.
What about:
\unit{10 um}
\unit{10 µm}
Can I assign µ to mean micro (prefix)?

Hi!
I struggle using the unit Farad (unit of capacitance):
The unit "farad" exists.
\starttext
%% prints 10 10 ft
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\registerunit [F=Farad]
\setupunittext [Farad=F]
%% prints 10 F 20 F⋅t
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\stoptext
When registering Farad as new unit it messes up feet. This looks
like a bug to me, since “20 ft” does not contain a capital “F” and
units are case-sensitive. How to use Farad correctly without messing
up other units?
The unit for feet is "foot" and "ft" is a combination of a prefix
(femto) and a unit (tonne).
You can list the individual parts in the log file with the
"physics.units" tracker.
To get a short unit you have to use the following method (it works
because farad exists):
\registerunitshortcut [F=farad]

[NTG-context] Using Farad with \unit messes up feet, µ not recognised as prefix
Hi!
I struggle using the unit Farad (unit of capacitance):
\starttext
%% prints 10 10 ft
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\registerunit [F=Farad]
\setupunittext [Farad=F]
%% prints 10 F 20 F⋅t
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\stoptext
When registering Farad as new unit it messes up feet. This looks
like a bug to me, since “20 ft” does not contain a capital “F” and
units are case-sensitive. How to use Farad correctly without messing
up other units?
2nd issue: The prefix “µ” is not recognised:
\starttext
%% prints 10 nm 20 30 µm
\unit{10 nm}
\unit{20 µm}
\unit{30 um}
\stoptext
I would expect “20 µm” to produce the correct result. Can we make
“µm” also produce the same result as “um”?
