Error messages like : maketfm : No creation rule for font ComputerModernSans-Bold pop up. I saw some emails on this list dealing with the same problem, but I could not find a definite solution.

Now go and recreate the formats. Everything works (well except mptopdf the program, but that is not critical for me). To keep in sync with context's pace of development, simply download the entire cont-tmf tree whenever a newer version is released. I have not managed to convince texsync to just download texmf tree, and I do not really care about downloading a big zip. This makes me feel whether it is a good idea to have miktex and context for windows (from the pragma site) in parallel. I use cygwin and context for windows only seems to work from cmd.exe and not bash.exe. I tried to convert setuptex.sh to setuptex.bash, but could not get to work.

How does texexec --pdf file.tex includes the images into the target

Does texexec process modify the images?
What is the target resolution of the pdf?
- texexec, i.e. pdftex, just embeds images (also pdf) without
changing them, besides scaling
- a PDF has no resolution, only some embedded contents may have any
How should I optimize the process for digital or offset printing?
- define your colors in cmyk (at least *also*)
- prepare your pictures for the right resolution; if you need two
versions (say web and print) you'd need to prepare both; you should
name highres and lowres the same, only put them in different
directories, so you could use mode sections that define the image path.
- the right resolution depends from the printing method and the
screening.
a common rule of thumb for color and greyscale pictures is twice the
screen (res. in dpi, screen in lpi), but \sqrt{2} would in fact be
enough.
line art pictures should have the resolution of the printing device,
but 800 dpi is mostly enough.
- if some elements should touch the paper border, they must bleed
2-3 mm over to avoid white flashers after cutting; that contains
that the printing paper sheet is bigger than your final paper size.
- you can prepare book(let) ordering of your pages with ConTeXt;
that's called imposition in prepress and arranging in ConTeXt.
What else do you need to know?
Perhaps you're interested in my formula collection for printing

To keep in sync with context's pace of development, simply download the entire cont-tmf tree whenever a newer version is released. I have not managed to convince texsync to just download texmf tree, and I do not really care about downloading a big zip. This makes me feel whether it is a good idea to have miktex and context for windows (from the pragma site) in parallel. I use cygwin and context for windows only seems to work from cmd.exe and not bash.exe. I tried to convert setuptex.sh to setuptex.bash, but could not get to work. So, I settled with the method of downloading the relevant trees and things work (by black magic, as you said) Aditya ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Dear syndicate,
Three questions (test file attached):
1. A pagenumbering problem: I have
\setuppagenumbering[way=bytext]
Good: The page numbers are continuous and do not restart with each new
part;
Bad: The page numbers are still prefaced by the part number, e.g.
1-24, 1-25, 2-26, 2-27 etc.
I want, rather, just 24, 25, 26, 27 etc
2. I want the chapter numerals to ignore the part, so I get
Part 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4.
3. I would to keep Part 1 Part 2 in the TOC, but no numeral at all in
the main text. I got rid of the Part label in the main text, but not the
numeral.
incrementnumber=no
works but then the TOC loses the Parts altogether.
Thnx in advance
Best
Idris

Hi Mojca,

somehow managed do define a bold vector command, working in my

It sounds to me like you only need the 'appearance' of
Parts to be present, instead of the 'actual' divisions.
If so, you could consider defining your own '\part' macro that
does a \writetolist. You can do that with something as simple as
this:
\newcount\mypart
\def\part#1{\page[right] \advance\mypart 1
\expanded{\writetolist[part]{\the\mypart}{#1}}}

Re: [NTG-context] math align
Hans, Taco, et al,
If I do something like this:
\placeformula[-]
\startformula
\startalign[m=2,distance=7em]
\frac5{21}-\frac3{21}=\frac{5-3}{21}
\frac{2}{x+2}-\frac{x-3}{x+2}=\frac{2-(x-3)}{x+2}\\
=\frac2{21} =\frac{2-x+3}{x+2}\\
=\frac{5-x}{x+2}
\stopalign
\stopformula
Note that distance=7em separates the equations nicely, at least for
the layout within which this code is contained. It might not look as
good if the layout changes.
I'm wondering if the current math-ext allows these to be evenly
distributed across the page without adjusting the distance?

Re: [NTG-context] texversion
In cases like these I generally do something like this: change the obsolete command to display a warning (or in this release a warning and the exec texexec --version, then a year later only the warning, then later the command disappears altogether.)

Something like this will be perfect. Per column is enough, I can not
even think of a case when per cell could be useful.

Re: [NTG-context] Font memory issues ?
Most Patient ConTeXters, I've rested a couple of days and found that, in fact, Gerben's distribution generates the new fmt files in ~/Library/texmf/web2c. Still, none of my attempts have produced changes in the allocated memory. Has anyone successfully increased the memory (e.g. font_mem_size) in this distribution? And if yes, could you say how it was achieved?

Re: [NTG-context] math align
Hans,
This is pretty good!
But yes, I know that I can get some separation with:
\definecombination[twoformulas][location=top,align=middle,distance=1cm]
But, as you noted in another post, is there a way to use the full
spread of the page where each of these maths are centered in their
respective half of the page?
wikiable:
\definecombination[twoformulas][location=top,align=middle]
\startalignment[middle] \dontleavehmode \startcombination
[twoformulas][2*1]
{\getbuffer[1]} {}
{\getbuffer[2]} {}
\stopcombination \stopalignment
\def\StartTwo{\startalignment[middle] \dontleavehmode
\startcombination[twoformulas][2*1]}
\def\StopTwo {\stopcombination \stopalignment}]
\StartTwo
{\getbuffer[1]} {}
{\getbuffer[2]} {}
\StopTwo
\StartTwo
{\getbuffer[1]} {correct}
{\getbuffer[2]} {wrong}
\StopTwo

It sounds to me like you only need the 'appearance' of
Parts to be present, instead of the 'actual' divisions.
If so, you could consider defining your own '\part' macro that
does a \writetolist. You can do that with something as simple as
this:
\newcount\mypart
\def\part#1{\page[right] \advance\mypart 1
\expanded{\writetolist[part]{\the\mypart}{#1}}}
Thank you for the tip. I really need to practice low-level TeX coding
more, ConTeXt has made me lazy...
Are there any manuals for with clear examples explaining the proper use of
\expanded, \unexpanded, etc.?
:-)))
All the best

\startalign[m=2,distance=7em plus 1 fil]
is a start but i assume that you want it more centered

Put it in the local directory and do

attached is a next version with 'definable' aligns

The following works as expected.

\def\stopsplit
{\doalignNR[+][]\crcr % for a number on last line
\stopalign}
\placeformula \startformula \startsplit

It seems that you are still thinking about [#2] in the definition of
\definealign. Can it be such that,
\definealign[gather][n=1,align={middle}]
\definealign[lgather][n=1,align={left}]
\startformula \startgather
a = b + c \\
e = f
\stopgather \stopformula
results in center aligned equations
a = b + c
e = f
and
\startformula \startlgather
a = b + c \\
e = f
\stoplgather \stopformula
results in left aligned equations
a = b + c
e = f
Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] New Installation under miktex, not working
--- On Jan 16, Mojca Miklavec wrote --- Aditya Mahajan wrote: Make a tree called pragma-texmf. Download cont-tmf.zip and cont-fnt.zip and unzip them in pragma-texmf. Go to MikTex options and add pragma-texmf as a tree. Move it up so that it is the first tree. /.../ This makes me feel whether it is a good idea to have miktex and context for windows (from the pragma site) in parallel. I use cygwin and context for windows only seems to work from cmd.exe and not bash.exe. I tried to convert setuptex.sh to setuptex.bash, but could not get to work. So, I settled with the method of downloading the relevant trees and things work (by black magic, as you said) I have them (MikTeX and the stand-alone from Pragma) in parallel without any problem. I created pragmatex.bat (visible by PATH) which calls the setuptex.bat (or whatever the script in the stand-alone distr. is called). The two distros don't interfere at all. Once I call pragmatex, all the sources and executables are chosen from the stand-alone tree when I compile the documents. (But thanks for the idea of making another texmf-pragma tree! I always managed to break something when mixing MikTeX and original files from Pragma, that's why I preferred to leave things as they are and use another distro instead.) I once again tried to install the standalone context distribution and it works :-). So, I deleted context from the miktex distribution and now use the standalone distribution. Hopefully, it will be more stable than in miktex. I'm not sure, but I guess that you would need tetex to run it from bash. Don't ask me about the numerous (still unsolved) problems I had just because the ruby executable is only available under cygwin at the university. I had a similar problem. I needed cygwin ruby because there are certain ruby packages (e.g. narray) that I could get to work with cygwin ruby without any hassle but do not work with the ruby one click installer. But cygwin ruby and context do not go together. I was actually following your thread on comp.lang.ruby hoping that someone will come up with a solution, but no suggestion worked. What I finally did was, download and install the one click installer, but removed it from the PATH. So when I am working on other projects, I get the cygwin ruby which works fine. I added a line to setuptex.bat that adds the one-click windows ruby to the front of the path. So when a context program asks for a ruby, it gets the windows version and everything works fine. The only drawback is that I can not use rxvt+bash, and have to use cmd.exe Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008 ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
