Re: [NTG-context] followup metapost textext?

Could that be the problem or must I dig deeper?

seems to work.

[NTG-context] Some things I don't understand about typescripts...
Christmas is approaching, and I hate to be a pest this time of the
year, but there's this problem that really bothers me: I'm still
working hard to release version 2 of my Greek module on the
unsuspecting masses. It will define all fonts in a typescript instead
of as single fonts to allow switches like {\em } etc. It appears that
the typescript mechanism creates some problems. The most serious one
for me is that it seems to demand a full list of sizes that can be
used in this form:
\definebodyfont
[30pt,25pt,20pt,18pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,14pt,12pt,11pt,11.5pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,
7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt]
[rm]
[default]
If I specify a bodyfont with a size that's not in this list
\setupbodyfont[somebodyfont,19.7pt]
I get no errors, but no output either :-( If I add 19.7pt to the
list, everything works again. Is there an explanation for this behavior?
It also looks like I should define a math font for these Greek fonts.
It looks like ConTeXt will try to get certain symbols from math if
they're not defined in the bodyfont. Is there a syntax for creating a
default math font for an entire set of typescripts? I tried this
\starttypescript
\definetypeface [all] [mm] [math] [times][default]
[encoding=default]
\starttypescript
but it doesn't seem to work, if a symbol like \textdoublebracketleft
is used, compilation will fail with this error:
! Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts.

Re: [NTG-context] followup metapost textext?
I am surprised, but somehow the problem seems to be gone. In my cont-sys.tex I had \runMPgraphicstrue %\runMPTEXgraphicstrue Trying everything seemingly connected to metapost I tried diverse combinations with these macros either commented-out or not-commented- out. At one moment texexec started functioning. I was thinking both these macros were for efficiency only, or is that a wrong thought? Because the comment in cont-sys.tex after these lines says % This saves some runtime, But the \runMPTEXgraphicstrue seems crucial. Would you please answer the next questions too: (1) Although my outer font is Lucida, these are used in textext (normal) but not used in textext($math$) where lm- en cm-math fonts are used; these mixed fonts make the pictures ugly. (2) I would like to have standalone pictures, as produced by texexec --mptex but then I do not know how to set the fonts. Is there a simple way to export the pictures from a ConTeXt run with embedded MP- graphics? Or keep intermediate pdf's? yours sincerely, dr.

The one that only has lm-cm synonyms, nothing else. how about vietnamese ... we need to move the berry names to akb then: I see now that there are no vietnamese fonts in cont-fnt.zip, I thought you had included the t5 metrics as well. Those fonts should not be deleted from type-dis then, sorry. [berry] vs. [adobekb] does this makes sense? My original take was: if you know how to install the next context release, then you also know how to install cont-fnt, and no other trickery would be needed to get these postscript fonts to work. Just install cont-fnt if you want texfont names, or use e.g. \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] if you want to stick to berry names. Anything else will give you a missing font error, but one that should be easier to solve than the current utmr8y errors. So my plan was: no additional changes, just some removed \fontsynonyms: the ones that map to (regularly) unavailable fonts. (The u* and p* files do differ, don't they? If so, what are the compatibility issues involved? I remember some differences in spacing.) I do not think there will be compatibility issues since the old type-dis used the same actual metrics as the texfont-installed ones (both the u* (fontinst) and the [encoding]-u* (texfont) ones are based on the same .afm files, by URW). The only different ones are the p* ones that are (already and still will be) loaded by \usetypescript[adobekb]. These may or may not be based on actual Adobe metrics, I am not sure.

The following code works both under MikTeX and stand-alone ConTeXt (however not under live.contextgarden.net), but I don't know how to enable ec encoding (\ccaron and \Ccaron - č and Č - don't work). Regarding the problem with missing ccarons: Despite the fact that antykwa pol. has ec encoding, quite some glyphs are still missing there, while ConTeXt thinks that they are present. So I solved the problem by using the wrong encoding (texnansi) again and now ConTeXt renders those glyphs for me :) Thanks again, Mojca ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] A font question.
I use Context for highly formatted non-fiction, but I am a bit reluctant to use it for much of my work because of the strange (to me) font handling arrangements. I see no purpose for the multiple synonyms of the same font. That just adds layers of extra work. And I am used to tweaking both the font size and the baselineskip by fractional amounts to help in getting the pagination just right and the spacing on the individual page correct. For example I have the main body font on a current project defined thus: \font\rm=8r-AGaramond-Regular at 10.5pt and this: \baselineskip 12.0pt plus .25pt If the page comes up a line short because of strict widow prevention then the extra space is distributed imperceptibly among the lines. \parskip is 0 pt for this novel. With a fixed baselineskip the extra space is distributed only at paragraph breaks, which gives an ugly result. This kind of fine tuning by users is perhaps foreign to Context as it now exists. Font sizes are in fixed steps for one thing. However abandoning the typescript etc. process deprives one of the useful feature of using tfa, tfb, tfx etc. to adjust font sizes semi-automatically. So here is my question. If I set up my own font definition system and as part of it I have statements like: \font\tfa bchr8r at 10.45pt \font\tfb bchr8r at 11.37pt ... ... will the rest of Context accept the above tfb font and size in places where a heading macro automatically defaults to tfb?

Re: [NTG-context] Answer blocks potential
Hans, OK. Meanwhile, looking to a future fromatting of the exercise set, brief solutions, and long solutions, do you think it best that I instruct my colleagues to code in question-answer blocks (LongAnswer, BriefAnswer)?

Here's what I can come up with. At least a few are acceptable, like the

I may be wrong, but aren't those used only in combination with other
characters? I don't know if TeX (ConTeXt) can handle this (at least
not yet). When I wrote the list a couple of days ago I forgot about
that fact. If the accent would come before the charecter, this could
be replaced by \buildtextaccent..., but here there's perhaps no
solution without some additional macros. (And since the Vietnamese
seem to be satisfied with viscii and utf for now, supporting cp1258 is
not crucial.)
I double-checked the differences between the existing regimes and the
ones that were automatically produced by a script. The list of regimes
that are ripe for supporting is thus:
cp125[ 0 | *1 | *2 | 3 | 4 | 7 ]
iso-8859-[ *1 | *2 | 3 | 4 | *5 | *7 | 9 | 13 | *15 | 16 ]
*viscii (with glyph names instead of \\u\...)
(The ones marked with a star are already supported, perhaps with some
inconsistencies. Not supported: Hebrew, Arabic, Vietnamese? for cp125X
and Arabic, Thai and Celtic for iso-8859-X.)
I'll send the files (full content is already on my page), but I need
to know how to split/group them (I guess it would be a bad idea to
have one file for each encoding). Should there be one file for
iso-8859 and one for windows encodings? What about those regimes that
are already supported? I would like to move at least the regi-win
(with 8 wrong definitions anyway) to a less discriminating place,
don't know what to do with Greek and Cyrillic.
And another set of questions:
1. Can someone check for (in)consistencies for
greekupsilondiaeresis vs. greekupsilondialytika?
Looks like the same glyph named differently at different places
(functionality may break).
2. What to do with
{\cyrillicGJE} {\'\cyrillicG} % 0403 CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER GJE
{\cyrillicgje} {\'\cyrillicg} % 0453 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GJE
{\cyrillicKJE} {\'\cyrillicK} % 040C CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER KJE
{\cyrillickje} {\'\cyrillick} % 045C CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER KJE
{\cyrillicgheupturn} {\cyrillicgup} % 0491 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GHE WITH UPTURN
Which variant is better?
Would it make sense to define
\definecharacter cyrillicGJE {\buildtextaccent\textacute\cyrillicG}
\defineaccent ' \cyrillicG {\cyrillicGJE}
and then use \cyrillicGJE consistently?
3.
PLEASE FIX:
in enco-def.tex replace \cdots by something (\dots, I suppose, but I'm not sure)
\definecharacter textellipsis {\mathematics\cdots}
(I guess this bug was the reason for changing some definitions in
regimes/encodings elsewhere.)
Should \textellipsis be used for 2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS or anything else?
4. \softhyphen, \hyphen or \- for 00AD SOFT HYPHEN?
5. Urgently: what to do with quotations (without language
discriminations if possible)?
% 201A SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
\quotesinglebase vs. \lowerleftsingleninequote
% 201E DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
\quotedblbase vs. \lowerleftdoubleninequote

\guilsingleright vs. \rightsubguillemot
% 00AB LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
\leftguillemot vs. \greekleftquot
(are Greek quotations treated specially or what is this doing in regi-grk?)
% 00BB RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
\rightguillemot vs. \greekrightquot vs. \prewordbreak\rightguillemot
(in my point of view the last one may be better, but not fair since
it's language dependent: may be OK for French, but not for German or
vice versa; perhaps a language-sensitive macro could be inserted at
this place?)
6. \textnumero, 0x2116 (and perhaps some other characters) should be
added to unicode vector 33.
7. files regi-il1 and regi-win have many inconsistencies. I would like
to suggest to do the following renamings:

It also adds layers of configurability. Clearly you do not
need that (your font setups is extremely simple and low-level),
but lots of other people do. For example, I have documents that
use 6 totally different font sets, because all 'examples' and
'definitions' are typeset in font families that differ from
the normal text font family. It would be a nightmare if I had to
define and remember the 200+ font definitions by hand.
If the page comes up a line short because of strict widow
prevention then the extra space is distributed imperceptibly
among the lines.
It is only imperceptible if the paper you print on does not
shine through at all, and if you use a noteblock (head) binding
instead of book (back) binding, so it is not something I would
recommend for general use.
This kind of fine tuning by users is perhaps foreign to Context as it now
exists. Font sizes are in fixed steps for one thing.
The fixed steps (of .1pt) are actually an optimization, and it
is possible to circumvent that, using either
\chardef\fontdigits=2
or
\def\normalizebodyfontsize#1\to#2{\setvalue{#2}{#1}}
So here is my question. If I set up my own font definition
system and as part of it I have statements like:
\font\tfa bchr8r at 10.45pt
\font\tfb bchr8r at 11.37pt
...
... will the rest of Context accept the above tfb font and size in places
where a heading macro automatically defaults to tfb?
Only if you never make any \{setup,switchto}bodyfont switches after
your new font definitions.
Cheers,
Taco
