Re: [NTG-context] font errors

2006-07-20 Thread Patrick Gundlach
Hello Hans, Mojca,


 FAQ after support for XeTeX has been built in, although I agree that
 the distributions should take care that this wouldn't happen.

 TEXFONTMAPS =
 .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//;$TEXMF/{$progname,pdftex,dvips}/{config,}//


Thanks, that did it. I should read this mailinglist more carefully.
And thanks for the wiki page on it.

 I thought that you were reading changes.txt ;)

(for the others: that's on the contextgarden.net server)... reading:
yes, understanding: now :)

Hans, is this perhaps related to a failed dvipos?

The header and footer problem is because you have put the

this, and it works:

[NTG-context] Russian hyphenation

2006-07-20 Thread Ark Shraer
Hello to all ConTeXt users,

First of all, I'm impressed of opportunities that ConTeXt provides to
book and magazine designers. Especially I like designs of Hans Hagen's
manuals :)

I have a medium experience in LaTeX (typesetted several books with
math, tables  and figures), but I've no experience in ConTeXt at all.

I'm a russian user and interested in support of russian and ukrainian
language in ConTeXt. By the way, I already tried example from
contextgarden wiki and it works for me fine.

So my question is: how to enable russian (ukrainian) hyphenation in ConTeXt?
I tried files from http://trash1.hotmail.ru/ but these fails to
compile (in my opinion they're not compatible with modern ConTeXt, as
they maybe outdated).

If there is no straight way to solve russian hyphenation problem I'd
like to help with it :)

Thanks.

WBR, Arkady Shraer

It looks like all of the ConTeXt files there are already merged in
the distribution. The one thing that is missing fro mthe distribution
(and also from that website) are the actual patterns TeX needs for
hyphenation.

because hyphenation patterns are rather messy (often latex specific and 
encoding specific) we need to generalize them first 

take a look at ctxtools and search for pattern 

we need to: 

- add russian and ukrainian to the to be processed lost
- make sure that we convert patterns to names chars and/or utf 

after that, we can make generic patterns and support of teh languages mentioned 
should work 

we can do this off list (or at the context dev list)  

- which are the pattern files that we need to look into to

 for ConTeXt?
   
sure, you only need to provide the translations of the message blocks (you can 
use utf 8 chars in the messages) 

when done, one can generate formats for any interface with russian messages 
(interfaces and messages are independent) 

[later this year there will be an interface to the tex error messages and then 
we can also translate those]

You can use

\startstandardmakeup[align=middle]In the middle\stopstandardmakeup
or

\centerbox{In the middle}

 and everything works except including graphics. I have a set of pdf 
 graphics which I normally modify on a per-project basis, and they go on 
 the cover page of my documents. The document seems to be complete, and I 
 don't see any inclusion errors in the log. But I do see some new errors 
 about underfull/overfull which I have not seen previously, and I don't 
 know how to interpret them. Anyone want to take a stab at figuring out 
 what's wrong?


   
overfull/undefull boxes depend on settings; they may be harmless

is hyphenation working?

   file:line:error style messages enabled.

It's very useful.  Here's a sample run of pdftex with that option,
which makes the error output match the format that most language
compilers use (e.g. gcc).

So you can run tex in an Emacs *compilation* buffer (with M-x
compileCR) and Emacs can parse all the errors (C-x `) and take you
to them one by one.
