>> [question about placing figures differently according to their widths]
> best use closed floats and set their characteristics (see details.pdf)
I haven't found closed floats in details.pdf, though it's teaching me
much useful stuff about floats meanwhile. Are closed floats the ones
attached to text (e.g. \placefigure[inmargin]), rather than ones that
can move up and down? Though that's the opposite of floating.
Mixing mixing inmargin and margin locations produces lots of collisions,
I've found (an example is below). If TeX had a decent programming
language, it might be possible to implement lots more float-position
optimizations. The user could write:
\placefigure[inmargin][someref]{}{\externalfigure[somefig.pdf]}
In the diagram \attachto[someref] the long arrows mean blah and the
short arrows mean blahblah...
Then the optimizer would favor placing each margin figure with its top
aligned to the top of the attachment point, but if it couldn't do that,
it would move them up and down to minimize (say) the sum of the squared
vertical offsets (using a larger penalty if the figure had to be
postponed to the next page, and insert "(p. 27)" where
\attachto[someref] is). The first pass can do greedy optimization on
the fly, and subsequent runs could analyze the figure locations and
their attachment points to find the best solution for a whole chapter.
But it would be miserable to do all of that in a macro language (which
are ghastly).
Here is the collision example. As the doctor says when you say "It
hurts when I do X": "So don't do that!"

i think that using \enableregime[utf] should work ok xetex (but in loading
patterns)
You can play with
\startregime[none]
\dostepwiserecurse{128}{255}{1}
{\expanded{\defineactivecharacter
{\recurselevel}
{\rawcharacter{\recurselevel
\stopregime
\enableregime[none]
\appendtoks
\enableregime[utf]%
% \everyhbox\expandafter{\the\everyhbox\enableregime[none]}% fails
\to \everymathematics
\starttext
text : ç ß
math : $ç ß [\text{\bf\enableregime[none]ç ß}] ç ß$
\stoptext
Taco may know why active chars behave a bit strange in math (may hav eto do
with the multiple passes in math and info getting lost

thit will not turn into a command since \type is already a defined

Isn't this same as type? In font-ini.tex you have
\definealternativestyle [\v!type] [\tt] []

Can you also add something for \em.

[NTG-context] Problems when using columnset and certain fonts
Hi all,
I'm currently playing with context columns / columnsets and several
fonts. I've come across a strange problem with columnsets when using
certain fonts.
I first noticed it when I tried to use one of the Windows TTF fonts,
Times New Roman. That's the one I've mainly used in the past with Latex.
I've been through all the steps described in the wiki, the practex
2005/2 issue or Bill McClain's context/pdftex beginner's page to embed
TTF into context.
The problem I encountered was that typesetting with some fonts goes
terribly berserk when switching between \tf and \it and back.
I thought this was just 'me' because I don't know much about context
yet, and integrating ttf is complicated.
So I looked at
http://www.fiee.net/texnique/?menu=0-1-4
(it was mentioned in January in the 'Problems installing Gentium TTF'
thread) which has some font definitions for context. I tested all of
them and guess what, one of them shows the same problem.
It's the phosphorus font, which I used to cook up a minimal example,
just that anybody can test it without my own local font definitions,
which may be wrong anyway.
So here's my questions regarding this phenomenon.
1) Is it a problem with the font being used?
(In this case there's probably no workaround and certain fonts simply
can't be used).
2) Is it a problem with the font/typescript definition files? If so, how
can it be fixed?
(This would be my favourite, it would mean it can be fixed locally,
althogh this also means I made a mistake somewhere :-))
3) Is it a problem within the context columnset?
(This I wouldn't like much since I couldn't fix it myself...)
It would be nice if one of the wizards could look into this, because it
puzzles me no end...
I'm using miktex on windows xp sp2. For version information, the log
file says:
TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
ConTeXt ver: 2006.04.24 23:37 fmt: 2006.5.16
TeXUtil 9.0.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2006
Find the minimal example below.
Thanks...
Michael
