Hello,

The trouble is that most fonts do not contain these accents.
amsmath.sty gets over this definition by faking these symbols. It is
easy to port these definitions to context.

I was wondering why amstex definition does this, as the 1.4ex depth
was too big. Then I realized that it is not 1.4ex but 1.4\ex@ with
\ex@ as .2326ex. ughhthe ugly syntax of plain tex...
So here is a more reliable reproduction of amstex dddot and ot
\newdimen\amstexex
\amstexex = .2326ex
what's this funny number based on, somehow related to interlinespace?
one cannot define a measure globally this way, since an ex is font

I just ran into the same question. When using a citation style that
doesn't quote the year (like refcommand=num), it seems more logical
to drop the maybeyear letter. It seems to work setting
\def\maybeyear{\gobbleoneargument}
I haven't seen any side effects yet, but maybe I'm missing something.
Would it be possible to make this behavior a global option/value?
The problem with redefining \maybeyear is that it affects all
citations equally: when you have three Knuth records with the
same year and two Tuftes with the same year in the database, then
if you use only one of Knuths but both Tuftes, you can no longer
see which one of the Tuftes you were citing.
I could add an interface setting, so that you would do not have to
resort to using \def, but it would be much better if I could fix
the problem internally. Needs some thinking, though

Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX: FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!
Unless you have a good reason for keeping it, try removing the web2c directory from your /Users/matthias/Library/texmf/ and then rebuilding the format files. There has been much on the list about what people want in their ~/ texmf. Still, I find it much simpler to use it only for stuff that is mine and not part of the ConTeXT distribution.

What exactly is wrong? Do you use MikTeX 2.5 or do you mean I updated
the packages on MikTeX 2.4? On my computer it's working OK (after
submitting quite some bug reports, but all of them were fixed so far).
Since I'm not using LaTeX anymore (ConTeXt rules !!! )
Same for me ;)
I decided to use only the mswincontext package. After downloading it,
I followed the intructions in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#Installation_Instructions
but I could not compile the example (demo-tex.tex)
In the SciTe windows I receive the following log :

Did you manually remove something or is this a literal transcript of
the message? It might be a broken setuptex.bat. What do
echo %TEXMF%
echo %TEXMFLOCAL%
return?
You should get something like
{$TEXMFOS,$TEXMFPROJECT,$TEXMFFONTS,$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
and
D:\context\usr\local\context\tex\context\texmf-local
(Not 100% about the last one, but it should be an approximation.)
mktexlsr: Done.

Do you have natural.tcx in your folder
(.../context/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx)? If you have it, the problem
probably lies in mktexlsr which doesn't find files if environmental
variables are not set properly.
Or, let me ask another question: how do you start context (how do
you call setuptex.bat)?

Hello,
I need to use \dddot and \ot in one of my documents, does anyone
know how to
define these math symbols.
The trouble is that most fonts do not contain these accents.
amsmath.sty gets over this definition by faking these symbols. It is
easy to port these definitions to context.
amsmath.sty definition
\newcommand{\dddot}[1]{%
{\mathop{#1}\limits^{\vbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]@\ex@
\hbox{\normalfont ...}\vss
\newcommand{\ot}[1]{%
{\mathop{#1}\limits^{\vbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]@\ex@
\hbox{\normalfont}\vss
Converting to context
%%
\unprotect
% The true copy of amsmath definitions
\def\amsdddot {\limits^{\vbox to -1.4ex{\kern-2ex\hbox{\the\textfont\z@
...}\vss}}}
\def\amsot{\limits^{\vbox to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
% I do not understand why you need to give negative height
\setbox\scratchbox{..} \ht\scratchbox0pt \dp\scratchbox-2pt
I was wondering why amstex definition does this, as the 1.4ex depth
was too big. Then I realized that it is not 1.4ex but 1.4\ex@ with
\ex@ as .2326ex. ughhthe ugly syntax of plain tex...
So here is a more reliable reproduction of amstex dddot and ot
\newdimen\amstexex
\amstexex = .2326ex
what's this funny number based on, somehow related to interlinespace?
one cannot define a measure globally this way, since an ex is font
dependent,;
\def\amstexex{\dimexpr.08\lineheight\relax}
The latex package amsgen.sty define it more carefully

A bit of explaination incase someone is wondering what is going on
% [EMAIL PROTECTED]
%The [EMAIL PROTECTED] variable provides a small unit of space for use in
%math-mode constructions, that varies according to the current type
%size. For example, the \cn{pmb} command uses [EMAIL PROTECTED] units.
%Since a macro or mu unit solution for the \meta{dimen} [EMAIL PROTECTED]
won't
%work without changing a lot of current code in the \pkg{amsmath}
%package, we set [EMAIL PROTECTED] through the [EMAIL PROTECTED]@size} hook.
%The value of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is scaled nonlinearly in a range of roughly
%0.5pt to 1.5pt, by the function [EMAIL PROTECTED]@}.
%\begin{macrocode}
\newdimen\ex@
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
%\end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
%[EMAIL PROTECTED]@} computes [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a nonlinear scaling from
10pt
%to current font size ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Using .97 as the multiplier
makes 1
%|ex@| $\approx$ .9pt when the current type size is 8pt and 1 |ex@|
%$\approx$ 1.1pt when the current type size is 12pt.
%
%The formula is essentially
% \begin{displaymath}
% \newcommand{\points}{\mbox{pt}}
% \newcommand{\floor}[1]{\lfloor#1\rfloor}
% 1\points \pm (1\points - (.97)^{\floor{\vert 10 - n\vert}})
% \end{displaymath}
%where $n$ = current type size, but adjusted to differentiate
%half-point sizes as well as whole point sizes, and there is a
%cutoff for extraordinarily large values of [EMAIL PROTECTED] ($$ 20pt)
%so that the value of [EMAIL PROTECTED] never exceeds 1.5pt.
