[NTG-context] Greek in luatex

2007-09-01 Thread Thomas A. Schmitz
Hi all,

I've been experimenting with my Greek stuff in luatex, and I think  
I'm making nice progress. Things pretty much work with Unicode input,  
and as soon as the kerning problem is solved, I'm very optimistic.  
Two questions came up for me; I assume the answers are  
straightforward, but couldn't find anything:

1. How can I remap single characters? Let's say that we have a  
Unicode character in the input stream that maps to 0x03c3, but I want  
it remapped to 0x3f2, how can this be achieved?

2. Similarly: if I want to support the legacy input method babel, I  
need to remap the input stream to the Greek characters (question 1)  
and also need to feed the font some ligature rules, such as: the  
combination a needs to be combined into the character 0x1f00. What  
would be the syntax and the way to do this?

All best

Thomas

 Shouldn't page 404 be a left-hand page?
 
 Maybe the book is written in a right-to-left language? :-)

Ha, on a close look it's ordinary lorem ipsum.

[NTG-context] Background colour of included PDF images

2007-09-01 Thread Kumar Appaiah
Dear ConTeXt users,

I am making a presentation using ConTeXt, and wish to use some plain
images. I am running into some trouble, especially with the background
colour of the image, which I wish to force. Here is some information:

1. I make the image using Dia, and export it.
2. I include the EPS directly, and Acrobat doesn't like it.
3. I epstopdf the images, they come otu well, except that they are
   transparent and the images with black text and lines looks bad on
   my dark background presentation.

I partially worked around the problem by using background=screen in my
\useexternalfigure calls. However, I have a combination image, where
the second image comes without the white filled background.

Could you please tell me a way to force the background colour of my
images to white? I really don't want to convert it to PNG or
something, since PNG doesn't look nice after scaling, does it? :-)

Thanks in advance.

And FYI:

Version: Debian package:
CtxTools | context version: 2007.04.17 12:51 
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.tex)
CtxTools | context version: 2007.04.17 12:51 
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex)

Hi Kumar,

you are not restricted to a gray background in your figures, you can
also use colors.

\externalfigure[...][background=color,backgroundcolor=white]

I seriously don't know why I didn't try it... it works wonderfully!

Thanks a lot! :-)

Hi Kumar,

you can also use background=screen but have to set backgroundscreen too,

\externalfigure[...][background=screen,backgroundscreen=1]

create also a white background.

Greetings

 Ok, now we have a dirty screen version (better than nothing, isn't it ?)

Thanks again.

I tried both the print and the screen instructions and both compile
without error.
I will have to compare the print version output with the plain tex
output but it looks
quite close now. I will take a closer look at the screen version as well.
