Re: [NTG-context] dictionary for TeX,/ConTeXt
It has nothing to do with keyboard, only with the software use use. But, hmmm, see ... http://www.winedt.org/poll.php Unicode support is one of the "which features do you miss most?", so it doesn't really look promising, at least not yet. Ok, I voted, but I actually corresponded with the developer (Alex) a few months ago and this is what he said: I am afraid that UNICODE will not be supported just yet. In part, because I am overwhelmed with feature requests (including requests for Linux versions) and I just cannot keep up with it - WinEdt is still a one-programmer project. The other reason is that Delphi 7 still does not support UNICODE in its controls (VCL) and that would require quite some low level programming or shopping for third party unicode compatible VCL extensions. Finally, the request for UNICODE among WinEdt users at the moment is still moderate and since implementation is non-trivial and requires a lot of testing it is not top priority. If/when I embark on a new major version of WinEdt I'll take UNICODE and BiDi support into design consideration from start. Right now it would be a lot of patching and more problems that I can handle. But I would like to rewrite WinEdt and fix the problems that were inherited from the original design (from 1993) when computers were slow, memory was low and Windows 3.1 crashed regularly... vim supports UTF (I have problems typing UTF under windows) and most advanced text editors should support it also; I use scite for (Con)TeX(t) in unicode recently. I've just found http://dev.remotenetworktechnology.com/SciTE/WordCheck.vbs.txt on internet, which is probably exactly the thing Ciro was looking for, but I wasn't able to execute it, maybe I have some programs missing. In any case, I don't think there is any Unicode/bidi editor better than UniPad http://www.unipad.org/main/ Absolutely no TeX-friendly features, so I now edit my Arabic in UniPad and do TeX in WinEdt. In particular, UniPad (Unicode 4.0 compliant) (1) handles virtually all accents and diacritics (whereas most editors with some unicode/bidi support do not support all needed Arabic accents); and (2) implements these in a most innovative/friendly one-dimensional fashion, (unlike all others, in which it is a pain to edit accents and diacritics--due to their 2-dimensional nature); I mention this in detail because if the scite people decide to implement some unicode support, then UniPad is the best paradigm to look at, particularly for bidi and Arabic accents. If Hans or anyone else has influence with the Scite developers, please pass this on, and I'll be happy to help anyone interested in the Arabic aspects of bidi-unicode implementation (testing, etc.).

[NTG-context] WinEdT support
Hi syndicate, Having tried many if not most TeX-friendly editors, nothing beats WinEdT for practical use IMO. I was thinking about working on a ConTeXt module (basically reimplementing the main LaTeX functionality) but I noticed this today http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-5.htm Unfortunately there is no link to further information. Is someone really working on this already, and is it (when will it be) available?

A have had a second look at the Document Permitions. AFAIK and if Adobe
does not have some bitter secret the situation is as follow:
1) if you want to permit additional document rights available in AR 6,7
(like commenting, saving, loading and sending form data) you need to
sign document. (pgs. 684-700)
2) to sign document you need a) privat/public key generator and b)
calculate document diggest (number; sum of integers from (nearly) all
doc dictionary keys and values; alg. p. 1037).
Bellow is the document skeleton for that. There should be:
1) filled the comment lines started by %! (diggest and signature values)
2) perhaps also %? (depends on %!)
3) perhaps the FormSig field is not needed ???
So, to do that, pdfTeX should start to calc document diggest and there
should be standard(?) process of signing this value.

[NTG-context] Greek font in Footnote problem
I am having trouble getting Greek in footnote environment. The Greek
appears as it should in the text body, but in a footnote all I get is
the input. In short, ConTeXt \footnote seems to ignore the \localgreek
command. I attach a brief test file that should produce the problem as
well as the input file defining the Greek font in the first place.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
By the way, there is no message in the log file to the effect that the
Greek font is unavailable at a given font size. And I am using ConTeXt

The spheres in that example are really just circles. The "globe font" was done using Metafont, which doesn't support color at all. The sphere graphic at the beginning of that file was done using MetaPost, so the circles could be drawn in color, but I know this isn't what you mean. The glyphs from the globe font (which I plan to improve) could be colored, e.g., by using the macros defined in the `colordvi.tex' file supplied with `dvips'. Of course, a given glyph could only be printed or displayed in a single color. GNU 3DLDF does not yet possess a `sphere' type, but I plan to add one in the not-too-distant future. I also plan to add shading, but that is in the more distant future. The shading methods I'm (vaguely) familiar with operate on raster data and I haven't quite decided how to handle rasterization. I'm leaning toward using the PNG format rather than PostScript for this. I believe PostScript can be used for both vector and raster data, but my memory of the details is hazy. > > The spheres drawn directly in PostScript as in the examples above still > have straight lines (well, I agree that with some mathematics it would > be possible to draw them with proper splines as well). > If you mean my spheres, that's an artefact of the PNG graphics. The PostScript versions look nicer. I believe that on commonly available devices, curves are ultimately drawn as short straight-line segments, though. In the code in that file, the circles have 64 points, and I thought the results were good enough. Raising it to some value x such that x % 4 == 0 and x > 64 might improve them, I haven't tried it. 32 wasn't enough.

Laurence Finston wrote: > > If you mean my spheres, that's an artefact of the PNG graphics. Actually, I think it may be because of the high magnification I used in order to get the glyphs to be a reasonable size when viewed using a browser. It would probably work better to make the characters bigger in the first place. It might also be because browsers display graphics with low resolution. I don't know much about browsers, though, so this is just a hypothesis. I'll see if I can improve this when I revise the font.

You could use the intersection points of the circles as the corners of rectangles and fill the latter. The more circles you use, the better the results will be. The very primitive surface hiding I've implemented will almost certainly fail, so you'll have to do this by hand or implement it yourself. You may be able to implement surface hiding and/or shading by operating on the MetaPost file generated by GNU 3DLDF, or by the PostScript file generated by MetaPost.
