Re: [NTG-context] PSNFSS in new ConTeXt?

2005-06-03 Thread Gerben Wierda
I don't know but it looks like a lot of palatino stuff is in teTeX and 
thus in gwTeX. Maybe it is just a matter of a map that has to be 
enabled?

Hello world!
\stoptext

which used to work before doesn't work neither on my Mac nor at live @ 
contextgarden.net.

How does one access these fonts?

(And sorry for blaming gwTeX for this!)

Hi Hans,

sorry to rain on your parade, but I'm not sure that the latest  version

texexec --version can be broken independant of the rest of texexec. :-)

From your comments I believe that the actual format generation is
correct now, and it is just the version report that cannot keep up
with the changes. Not a big thing, but of course it should be fixed.

Since that is my code, I will can a patch for (Hans to apply).
Are you using XeTeX? If yes, can you (or someone else) send me XeTeX's
banner line(s)? I mean the line you get if you only start the
executable.  For instance, my pdfetex has:

  This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21b-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
  **

This is needed for the tex discovery line:

   tex : unknown

Thanks Taco! No, I'm using pdfetex, not XeTeX. Here's the line:

% pdfetex --version
pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)

And as I wrote: the rest of ConTeXt seems to be working alright, my  
documents compile fine, so don't spend too much time on it. I still  
have to see for my linux installation, I haven't been able to upgrade  
ConTeXt under linux for quite a few releases now.

Re: [NTG-context] PSNFSS in new ConTeXt?

2005-06-03 Thread Ville Voipio

\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[pos]


which used to work before doesn't work neither on my Mac nor at live @ 
contextgarden.net.

(And sorry for blaming gwTeX for this!)


It is really not Gerben's fault! At some point the pos-typescript has 
been deprecated (at least according to the comments in 
tex/context/base/type-pre.tex).


However, the typescript file is now enclosed in

\starttypescriptcollection[previous]
  ...
\stoptypescriptcollection

These might give you some hint about how to proceed.

---

The more modern way of solving this problem is to forget about the old 
pos collection and leverage the user value by embracing the novel 
typescript paradigm. (Oops, sorry, my marketing-bs-generator seems to be 
breaking in.)


The modern way to get to use the free URW fonts is to run 
context/data/type-tmf.dat (or, rather, run texfont and give type-tmf.dat 
as a batch file). This will enable using a lot of nice fonts in the URW 
collection.


However, there are two gotchas:

1. With gwTeX, running the command

  texfont --encoding=ec --batch type-tmf.dat

at least previously resulted in some errors about unknown files. They 
may be fixed with an ugly hack: replace all occurences of TEXMFMAIN by 
TEXMFTE in type-tmf.dat.



2. After the fonts are installed, you have the fonts. Nice. But no 
typescripts. Not so nice. I have made some typescripts for 
Palatino/Helvetica/Courier and SchoolBook/Helvetica/Courier 
combinations. There might be something already done in the ConTeXt 
distribution, but I have not found anything that useful. (I can Wiki 
them if someone finds it useful.)



Good luck!

[NTG-context] \startitemize[beforehead=xxx]

2005-06-03 Thread Peter Münster
Hello,

does somebody know how to get some space between two \head entries in the
ConTeXt-way?

I tried the following, but without success:

\starttext
begin
\startitemize[packed][beforehead=\blank,headstyle=bold]
\head head\par
line
\head head\par
line
\head head\par
line
\stopitemize
end
\stoptext

Only with the following hack, I get the desired result:

\starttext
begin
\startitemize[packed][headstyle=bold]
\let\headO\head
\def\head{\blank\headO}
\head head\par
line
\head head\par
line
\head head\par
line
\stopitemize
end
\stoptext

Cheers, Peter
