[NTG-context] Re: ConTeXt tool for enabling comments in PDF ?
Vit Zyka wrote (long long ago in January): how is that one calculated, imagine that in the %! fields you fill in placeholders like hereshouldgosomemagiccode, then one can run a script over the pdf, calculate that magic, and replace the string; maybe this can be hooked into xpdflib Yes, I agree, postprocessing is possible. But I did not find any digest computing alg in the range of C/C++ or Perl. Also do not known links to xpdflib. Vit Zyka One can sign PDFs with iText (http://itextpdf.sourceforge.net/).

Instead of printing a horizontal page and rotating the page
I printed a vertical page and rotated the text within it.
Still curious if there is a Context solution to this common
problem.

Re: [NTG-context] [ANN] XEmTeX 0.5-RC0
Hi Fabrice, My congratulations on the release of XEmTeX! A question: Since XEmTeX is explicitly pdfeTeX based: Will Aleph (which produces (o)dvi) and dvipdfmx be supported? As development continutes, might I very humbly-) suggest the following: What the TeX world sorely lacks right now is a good Unicode editor, particularly in the areas of bidi and Arabic script. There is apparently only one editor in the world that does unicode, bidi, and arabic script correctly, and that's UniPad (http://www.unipad.org/main/ ), but it's not free (as in speech) and lacks many-to-most TeX-related features. My concern about XEmacs is that there appears to be virtually no movement in the direction of this kind of multilingual support, something I find astonishing here in 2005-) But congratulations once again (and thnx 4 all your past help) All the best!!

Hi John,
That was the same for me: \rotated is not defined.
However looking into my ConTeXt archives I found an example about
rotations, and after a new definition of your paper size discovered
that the following works: I hope it is what you are looking for...

[NTG-context] unwanted font replacement during inclussion
Hi,
I noticed the next strange behaviour. Let us create very simple file
test.tex:
--
\font\bf=cmbx12
Normal text. \bf Bold text.
\end
--
Now include this file by plain pdftex:
--
\pdfximage{test.pdf}
\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage
\end
--
Everything is correct. No let us try to insert the file by context:
--
\starttext
%\font\bf=cmbx12
%Normal text. \bf Bold text.
\pdfximage{test.pdf}
\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage
\stoptext
--
And that is!!! Text 'bold text' is typeset with totaly different font
from cmbx12, so it is smashed by wrong metric! See the attached file.
If I uncomment two lines, so the font cmbx12 is not only present in the
included file, the result is correct. Where is the problem? Something
mixing cm and lm? I though that included file comes with all font resources.
H, now I feel it is more pdftex-related then context-related question.

H, now I feel it is more pdftex-related then context-related
question.
i can't reproduce it here with your files, it looks ok, but the
mechanism is that the font comparison is made by the name in the 2nd
column of the map file, and only if this matches the fontname in the
embedded file, the font file given the end of the map line is taken. E.
g. one can force a probably similar problem by (devious)
\pdfmapline{cmbx12 CMBX12 cmtt10.pfb}
Then the CMBX12 font coming with the embedded test.pdf would match
CMBX12 and this would be replaced by cmtt10.pfb. So it seems that
something must be wrong with the map file.
