The bug is apparently in \type: it only generates one dash.
the Latin Modern fonts are in 'ec' encoding, and \type does not
take that into account (yet). If you switch to texnansi encoding,
the problem goes away:
\usetypescript[modern][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
this will be repaired in the next version of the ec metrics

\stopuseMPgraphic

The problem occurs during the call to:
pdfetex -progname=context \cont-en

But surprisingly, it compiles successfully with the '\' fix in

to produce the `btex/etex' output, but that instance of ConTeXt doesn't
do the shell escaping correctly.
Any clue? What script should I look into?

So, how to tell \digits to use oldstyle

Since it switches to math mode, one has to reencode the math fonts, i guess.
In the meantime:
\def\OSdigits#1{\digits{\os#1}}
\OSdigits{1234}
Unfortunately not. It works in text mode, but produces a bunch of errors
in math mode. \digits doesn't seem to like \os in its argument. This
definition works here for now:
\def\OSdigits#1{\ifmmode{\os\digits{#1}}\else\digits{\os#1}\fi}
should do everything you need: since u're not mixing text in \digits do you
really need a global math font reencoding?
In principle yes. For example, $f(x)=3x+7$ should come out with oldstyle
figures, if these are used by default, shouldn't it?
Btw, striving for good typography, in which cases should oldstyle
figures *not* be used?

[NTG-context] typing questions
Hello,
here a few questions about typing:
- Is there a module for pretty-printing C-code?
- How could I change the tabulator-width?
- First tab is only 7 spaces, the other 8, why?
- How could I embed ConTeXt macros?
- Where does the vertical space in \framed come from?
Some of these questions are illustrated in the following example:
\starttext
\starttyping
void test()
{
12345678 the first characters of the next lines are tabulations
int i;
for(i = 0; i 10; i++)
do_something();
1234567812345678
Here I would like to \embed{ some context-code }
}
\stoptyping
\framed[align=lohi,
top=\vskip-1.8\baselineskip,bottom=\vskip-0.8\baselineskip]{%
\starttyping
Why do we need special top and bottom options?
type type type
type type type
\stoptyping
}

Well, maybe it will be possible for Hans to include support for the missing features in a future release. To sum it up once again, what I am missing: - control over column and row spacing - material before/after a cell, e.g. \setupTABLE[row][first][before=bla] - command hooks like \setupTABLE[1][3][hook=\dowithentry] (Is it possible to set the space between columns using the more standard table module?

Sorry I couldn't provide any better answer. When I get a chance, I'll put something on the page stating that a limitation of TABLE is the inability to set the space between columns. Well, maybe it will be possible for Hans to include support for the missing features in a future release. To sum it up once again, what I am missing: - control over column and row spacing - material before/after a cell, e.g. \setupTABLE[row][first][before=bla] - command hooks like \setupTABLE[1][3][hook=\dowithentry] I'm not sure what hooks are! I assume the before could be something like \blankspace? (Is it possible to set the space between columns using the more standard table module? I realize I didn't document this at all.)

I guess I assumed you get the same result with TABLE by simple making a column very wide (width=25cm).

[NTG-context] how to control placement of floats
The manual and others have given good advice on how to do the most basic placment of floats, such as forcing it onto a new page. How does one get even more control. For example, if I want a particular table to have 2 inches of space from the left margin, or if I want to center my figures.

[NTG-context] is there a way to control kearning and word spacing
I know that ConTeXt does a good job kearning and determing spaces between words. However, is there a way to actually specify different kearning and word spacing than the default?

[NTG-context] How to insert a full page pdf.
I need to insert some example pages from one document into another. Both are 8.5 x 11. I have read the old posts about \startTEXpage etc. and looked at the source code. But I still have a few questions: 1. Can I select e.g., just page 2 from the external document to insert in my document? How? 2. Does Context automatically bump its page counter to compensate for the inserted page or pages, or do I have to adjust it after each such insertion?

[NTG-context] Strange behaviour of width parameter in \setuplayout (Was: Floating table caption extends textwidth)
Hi!
I have problems creating a multi-line caption for a floating table.
If the caption is too long it will extend the defined text width.
The following example shows this problem.
I was able to find out, that this problem only appears if the
variables width in the setuplayout command was used to define
the textwidth. If you comment the line containing the width
parameter (see comment in example) the caption will not extend
the table.
Regards
Michael
Example:
--
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setuplayout[
backspace=25mm, cutspace=25mm,
width=16cm, % -- COMMENT THIS TO SEE THE EXAMPLE WORK
footer=10mm, footerdistance=5mm, bottom=5mm]
\starttext
\placetable[here][tab:Referenz]
{ \input tufte }
{
\setupTABLE[x][1][width=4cm, align=middle]
\setupTABLE[x][2,3,4,5][width=3cm, align=middle]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTH Anzahl \eTH
\bTH Daten \eTH
\bTH MC \eTH
\bTH Daten \eTH
\bTH MC \eTH

\eTABLE

Re: [NTG-context] How to insert a full page pdf.
Hi John,
John R. Culleton :
I need to insert some example pages from one document into
another. Both are 8.5 x 11.
I have read the old posts about \startTEXpage etc. and looked at
the source code. But I still have a few questions:
1. Can I select e.g., just page 2 from the external document to
insert in my document? How?
I'm no expert, but here's the way I do it:
\externalfigure[filename][page=2]
Then, I adjust the clipping to -- for instance -- get rid of the page
number of the inserted `figure', as well as of its top and left margins.
\clip [ voffset=1.25in, % clip the topmost part of the inserted page
hoffset=1.5in, % clip the left margin of the inserted page
height=9in, % clip the bottom of the inserted page
width=5.1in]% clip the right margin
{\externalfigure[filename][page=2]}}
And, if you like, you can put all this into a \midaligned{}.
2. Does Context automatically bump its page counter to compensate
for the inserted page or pages, or do I have to adjust it after
each such insertion?
Well, if you treat the inserted PDF page as a figure, the page number of
your main document won't be affected. Just clip the page number (if any)
which lies on the inserted PDF page.
Regards,
David

(Hence: details.pdf!) Let me ask more specific questions: 1. In order to control the placement of a float better, do I need to use \setupfloat[figure] \setupfloat[table] % etc ? 2. I want to place a table or a figure on a page. I want to move it, say, 10 cm from the left margin. How do I do this? 3. I want to create extra white space before and after the float. How do I do this? 4. Sometimes I want the text to flow around the float, and sometimes I don't. How do I do this?
