well, you don't have the 'random' option in your version; we need the

Hi Johan,
I think you need something like this:
\enableregime[utf]
\loadmapfile[context-base]
\usetypescript[palatino][ec]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]
\starttext
Here we are using the font \fontname\font.
These are some diacritics: �, �, �, �, �.
And these are some ligatures: affliction, affine, first.\par
Can you see correctly \type{affliction, affine, first}?
$${\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0 = \int_0^{2\pi}\sin(x)dx,
\quad \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{1 \over n^2} = {\pi^2\over 6}.$$
\input knuth.tex
\stoptext
I experienced several problems like the ones you mention, but the
above works fine for me (Mac OS X 10.4.6, TeX and ConTeXt installed
with Gerben Wierda's i-installer).
normally things should work ok when one generates the metrics with texfont (or
installs the font metrtics zip); problems can be anything, from a missing tfm,
to a missing (or differently named type1) or a messed up map file, or an old
pdftex ...

Re: [NTG-context] RLXTOOLS ?
Many thanks to you both---I will experiment with both solutions. I would
prefer the RLXTools (being standard in the ConTeXt) but I still can't
imagine how should I make the figure name/conversion dependent on the
size specified in the TeX file (different sizes for different figures).
However, I'll experiment.
Many thanks once more.
M.K.
in the default rlxtools.rlx file you will find
rl:manipulator name='lowres' suffix='pdf'
rl:oldrl:value name='path'//rl:value name='file'//rl:old
rl:newrl:value name='path'//rl:value
name='prefix'/rl:value name='file'//rl:new
rl:step
texmfstart pstopdf --convert --method=4
--inputpath=rl:value name='path'/
--outputpath=rl:value name='path'//rl:value name='prefix'/
rl:value name='file'/
/rl:step
/rl:manipulator
so, what you can do is define something lowres-x and lowres-y and set
the conversion to one of those those depending on the width
tricky but kind of okay is
\definemeasure[whatever][\makeupwidth]
...
width=\measure{whatever},conversion=lowres-\ifdim\measure{whatever}\makeupwidth
x\else y\fi,...

All,I just received this from our disabled students' center. What is needed is a simple way to convert a Context document into a format that can be "read" by these MathML players.Are we anywhere close to such a conversion?Begin forwarded message:From: "Love, Ken" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: June 1, 2006 10:14:37 AM PDTTo: "Arnold, David" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Math 120 textbook for Fall 2006 Hi Dave:A student with a reading disability has requested an alternate version of the Math 120 textbook for Fall 2006. Jean Lawry told me that the Math faculty is creating the book, to give to students on a CD. I think that is just great! My task is to put that into a format that the student can listen to. Assuming that your CD doesn’t have all the info in audio files, one strategy is that I can scan the print version (Jean said there will be one), and extract the text. The problem—as with all Math books to this point—is that the scanning software doesn’t do math. Tracey ordered the site license for MathType, so I could re-create the math line by line. Much easier for me would be if the equations are already in a format that can be converted to be read by MathPlayer, such as MathML. One option is a flavor of .tex that Scientific Notebook can handle, that can be exported as .XHTML. Please give me a heads-up on how you’re making the book, so I can plan ahead.

I get version 2006-05-28, greek hyphenation is included. To be sure, I run texmfstart texexec --make --all afterwards, again, formats are generated without any problem. That's all I can say: it's not a ConTeXt problem and not a problem with Gerben's distribution; for the rest, I really can't be of any help because I can't reproduce the problem. My only guess would be: see if there's a directory web2c in your ~/Library/texmf and if there is, try moving it out of the way, but this is just a far shot.

Distros will want all the libraries dynamically linked to save space and so that security updates to thinks like libpng and libtiff don't require new TeX binaries.

It's just that for a long time, every single beta had difficulties with online updates and online installation sources, and this has not been solved for the final release, it has even become somewhat worse. There's quite a lot of whining on the mailing lists and in the forums, and even some of the developers call this is an intermediate release, which, I guess, is marketing speech for banana ware...

Hans
Revisiting this question after an absence I tried redefining
various values from the above list within \setupFLOWcharts. None
worked. No doubt there is a magic combination I missed. But more
than one user has been perplexed by this.
You know I never did figure out the answer to this one. And
factors such as \tfd were still too small. So I used the
John, I guess you have
maxwidth=\textwidth
and your natural chart is wider then \textwidth, is't it?
What happens if you put away maxwidth?
Vit
The immediate effect is that everything is bigger and the chart
overflows both margins. The text is at normal size for this
document. So the text problem was solved, but how to get the
widgets and the spaces between them down to a reasonable size?
After much experimentation I came up with this:
\setupFLOWcharts
[
nx=6,
ny=2,
dx=\bodyfontsize,
dy=\bodyfontsize,
width=.15\hsize,
height=.15\hsize,
]
There is still some overflow into the margins and some of the text
is too highly hyphenated. But at least I am on the right track.
When all this is over I may write my own version of the manual
so I won't forget between uses :)
Thanks much,

Jean Lawry told me that the Math faculty is creating the book, to give to students on a CD. I think that is just great! My task is to put that into a format that the student can listen to. Assuming that your CD doesn?t have all the info in audio files, one strategy is that I can scan the print version (Jean said there will be one), and extract the text. The problem?as with all Math books to this point?is that the scanning software doesn?t do math. Tracey ordered the site license for MathType, so I could re-create the math line by line. Much easier for me would be if the equations are already in a format that can be converted to be read by MathPlayer, such as MathML. One option is a flavor of .tex that Scientific Notebook can handle, that can be exported as .XHTML. Please give me a heads-up on how you?re making the book, so I can plan ahead.

though, I only get blanks instead of special characters. Has the

Hi Johan,
I think you need something like this:
\enableregime[utf]
\loadmapfile[context-base]
\usetypescript[palatino][ec]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]
\starttext
Here we are using the font \fontname\font.
These are some diacritics: �, �, �, �, �.
And these are some ligatures: affliction, affine, first.\par
Can you see correctly \type{affliction, affine, first}?
$${\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0 = \int_0^{2\pi}\sin(x)dx,
\quad \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{1 \over n^2} = {\pi^2\over 6}.$$
\input knuth.tex
\stoptext
I experienced several problems like the ones you mention, but the
above works fine for me (Mac OS X 10.4.6, TeX and ConTeXt installed
with Gerben Wierda's i-installer).
normally things should work ok when one generates the metrics with texfont
(or installs the font metrtics zip); problems can be anything, from a missing
tfm, to a missing (or differently named type1) or a messed up map file, or an
old pdftex ...
