Re: [NTG-context] Re: Tex Live 2004 + context
Hi, I have texlive 2004 now, with the very latest context and the latest pdftex from pdftex.sarovar.org. The tetex beta is a smaller download and integrates reasonably well with your linux distro but perhaps requiring you to donwload things from CTAN yourself, texlive is more standalone but also much bigger. Don't install TeXLive2003 anymore unless you have no other options. Greetings, Taco No, something more recent then texlive 2003. Perhaps texlive 2004 (out already?) or a current tetex beta. That is what I use at contextgarden.net thank you You're welcome.

Glad it works for real! Would you mind adding to the wiki a link (with appropriate VN text) to that forum page? Even better would be figuring out how to add the VN translation, and then expanding the documentation further. Linking to the test doc on the wiki would also be a help! adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T. Lindsay, Computing Dept.

Re: [NTG-context] Black generation in cmyk output

In the automatic conversion of metapost you mean? Well, you can turn black generation on (\setupcolors[reduce=no]) or turn it off ([reduce=yes]) ... There is no way to control the *amount* of black generation, but you can of course define your own CMYK colors with an appropriate K component. I hope I understood your question correctly. Greetings, Taco Sorry for imprecise question. I meant black generation in rgb images in JPG format included in document. If it's not possible to control the amount of black in that case I'd like to use cmyk JPG images, but will they be left untouched by the colour conversion mechanism?

I haven't pursued it further (it needs a lot more work!) b/c I haven't received any feedback on how it wants to be used. Bernd, I'll forward the thing I've come up with off-list.

This is a bit heretical I know but couldn't one just use a \font\foo=nameoffont at 12pt type statement? Wow, this was a blast from the past. Nothing wrong with that, as such, but I asked Sjoerd, the original poster, about his use patterns. He actually didn't use the tipa encoding shortcuts (the mapping of characters directly to glyphs in the fonts, '@'), but rather the named glyphs (\textschwa). So I focussed on that at first. Now that I have learned a lot about ConTeXt's character system and Unicode, I see a lot that I could have done differently. But then again, it's also not the worst foundation for doing further work. (Such as hooking it in with Unicode. I'd have to put the tip jar out in order to take that on in the near future, though!)
