[NTG-context] texmfstart problem (long time spend somewhere)
Hello, For near two years I use ConTeXt under the MiTeX distribution. Last weekend I installed the last version of ConTeXt (2006-07-21) available on MikTeX. Since this installation, the program texmfstart don't work correctly. After the command : texmfstart texexec first.tex nothing happen for a long time before texexec is actualy executed. After the command : texmfstart --verbose texexec first.tex, I can see : texmfstart version 2.0.0 expanding 'texexec' to 'texexec.rb' locating 'texexec.rb' in current path '.' locating 'texexec.rb' in caller path 'C:/documents/proxima/tmp' LONG TIME (about 1 min) kpse : direct (forced) using 'kpsewhich' to locate 'texexec' in suffix space 'rb' (1) registering 'texexec' as 'C:/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb' registering 'THREAD' as 'C:/texmf/scripts/context/ruby' starting texexec using 'system' call: ruby C:/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb first.tex TeXExec | processing document 'first.tex' ETC If I execute texmfstart.rb instead of texmfstart.exe the behaviour is the same but I see that the time is spent in the KpseRemote::start_client method. I have installed on the same computer a stand-alone version of ConTexT and the behaviour is the same. The have installed a new version of ruby (version 1.8.4) and the behaviour is the same. Any help on this problem is wellcome. Thank you. Denis Pinsard ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Scanning the recent issue of the MAPS (Dutch NTG user group magazine) I encountered the interesting article about experiences with the development of luatex and friends. Especially the possibility of having protocols http:// and file:// as input source seems promising. Allow me to suggest another opportunity here: the inclusion of svn:// as a source. I myself store my important tex and metapost sources in a svn repository in order to keep track of versions and branches in an efficient manner. Others might want to do the same. It therefore would be nice if tex typesetting could directly access those repositories through the svn:// protocol too. Maybe Taco and Hans feel challenged dr.

Re: [NTG-context] New Debian context package based on context release 061207
Here it does work after installation of cont-fnt.zip. Or the current Debian context package. Hmm, I think the mess of tex configuration files in Unix has finally defeated me, and I will switch to using the debian context package and will retry Aditya's assignment document. That will also involve switching from the tetex-3.0 packages (on Ubuntu) to texlive, which I've been meaning to do for a while. I'll try it all tomorrow afternoon.

in principle anything can be supported ... ; while zip:// is implemented using
lua, the protocols are implemented using calls to curl (will be curl lib some
day); installing svn support boils down to using one of the mkiv lua support
functions:
\ctxlua { curl.install('svn') }
(but of course it's better to oput that line it in luat-crl.lua -)

[NTG-context] strange behaviour of \definedfont['Some Name'] in XeTeX
Hello, I'm probaby misusing the feature (most robably because I just didn't take time to study how to do it properly), but it behaves really strange. In XeTeX I first did \font\f='Some Name' \f which worked OK. But when I tried the same with \definedfont['Some Name'] it resulted in strange behaviour. For some fonts, metapost has been invoked and complained, but the resulting document had the proper font plus scaled 1000 written on the first page where the font has been selected. For other fonts it failed completely. What's actually the most clean way of including an uc-encoded font at a specific font size, but without the need of bold or any other typefaces (just for a title for example)? (Which basically means: I only want the same behaviour as the plain TeX expression above + uc encoding.)

[NTG-context] small smaller and vertical stretch
Hi, using small and medium rather than 8pt or 10pt gives some vertical stretch. Very useful in some situations: \setupinterlinespace[small] \setupwhitespace[medium] But what to do if small is still too big? And yet the stretch is needed? While I can say ... \blank[.75*medium] ... this operation is not allowed for the two above. So, what to do?

I was in Stammtisch in Nürnberg in 2005 where exTeX developers were all enthusiastic about it, but at the same meeting in Ulm this year it was all silent about that topic. It's written in Java and runs already, but I have a feeling that they didn't come any further than experimental code and I didn't have a feeling that much has been done in the last year (but I may be wrong).

[NTG-context] uc-encoded fonts and accents
Hello,
in enco-uc.tex there are some definitions which use combining accents:
\definecharacter textgrave{\uchar3{0}}
\definecharacter textacute{\uchar3{1}}
\definecharacter textcircumflex {\uchar3{2}}
\definecharacter texttilde{\uchar3{3}}
\definecharacter textmacron {\uchar3{4}}
\definecharacter textbreve{\uchar3{6}}
\definecharacter textdotaccent{\uchar3{7}}
\definecharacter textdiaeresis{\uchar3{8}}
\definecharacter textring {\uchar3{10}}
\definecharacter texthungarumlaut {\uchar3{11}}
\definecharacter textcaron{\uchar3{12}}
\definecharacter textogonek {\uchar3{40}}
But this is almost useless, since those fonts that have things like
ccaron missing (which are exactly the ones for which such kind of
definitions might be useful) don't have any glyphs on those slots.
Appart from that \buildtextaccent is used for combining, so there
should be no real need for using combining accents at that place.
Here's a copy of relevant lines from contextnames.txt (as a refence to
which values the values above should be changed if others agree):
005E;asciicircum;textasciicircum;CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT
0060;grave;textgrave;GRAVE ACCENT
00A8;dieresis;textdiaeresis;DIAERESIS
00AF;macron;textmacron;MACRON
00B4;acute;textacute;ACUTE ACCENT
00B8;cedilla;textcedilla;CEDILLA
02C6;circumflex;textcircumflex;MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT
02C7;caron;textcaron;CARON
02D8;breve;textbreve;BREVE
02D9;dotaccent;textdotaccent;DOT ABOVE
02DA;ring;textring;RING ABOVE
02DB;ogonek;textogonek;OGONEK
02DC;tilde;texttilde;SMALL TILDE
02DD;hungarumlaut;texthungarumlaut;DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT
Would it be possible to fix those lines in enco-uc.tex?
(Writing because I needed to use ccaron in one of the fonts which
doesn't have that. After redefining textcaron to a proper value it
worked OK for that specific font.)
Thanks,
Mojca
