[NTG-context] experimental feature

\definefontfallback [whatever] [Bold] [0x0080-0x00FF,0x00A0-0x00AF]
\definefontfallback [whatever] [BoldSlanted] [0x00C0-0x00C7]
\definefontsynonym[SerifPlus][Serif][fallbacks=whatever]
\definefont[MySerif][SerifPlus]
\MySerif
\dostepwiserecurse{0}{255}{1}{%
{\tttf\uchexnumbers\recurselevel:}\char\recurselevel\hskip10pt plus
5pt\relax
}
\stoptext
specifications like [Bold sa 1.2] also work
Future versions will provide multiple fallbacks, conditional fallbacks etc.
For insiders ... no virtual fonts are used which means that that in
principle features still work ok.
BTW, In this beta OSFONTDIR is set automatically when unset, on windows
(tested by me) and on macosx (tested by mojca); other platforms can be
dealt with when we know what to set.

just tried your code with pdftex 1.40.8beta and context beta from
07.06.2008. it works ok here.
i will test this with yesterday beta after lunch. probably the mkiv part
is also working then. so if you want staticmpfigure to work, you have to
update your 'ancient' context and the pdftex binaries. :)
edit: too late, you have already tested it. and as mentioned: mkii is
also working!

Hi!
Life is much easier if everything is there, thanks it worked better.
Unfortunally it seems that the heading part not work as expected. Only
the first values line get the grey bg and bold font. You can see
attached files.
You mean that you don't get this line?
Time; Decay per second; Errorlimits
To be honest - I do not understand a single line in the database
module. A really dirty future-incompatible workaround is to duplicate
the line. The first one will be swallowed and the lecond one will be
typeset, but that's a bug in the module. Hans? Taco? Why is the first
line ignored?
It worked OK some time ago, and nothing has changed in the module
itself, so it's a complete mystery.
Thanks for helping me!
By the way... you did for a month ago send a working gnuplot module that
is working with Luatex. After a computercrash I lost it. Can you send
that once again??
I guess this is the file I have sent you some time ago, but it doesn't
work any more. I suspect that this portion of code is broken (LuaTeX
doesn't create a new file any more), but I need to test before saying
anything; it might be some completely reason:
\doifmode{*\v!first}{
\immediate\openout\scratchwrite=\GNUPLOTfile.plt
\immediate\write\scratchwrite{set terminal
\@@GNUPLOToutput\space\@@GNUPLOToptions}%
\immediate\write\scratchwrite{load '\GNUPLOTfile.tmp'}%
\immediate\closeout\scratchwrite
}
I wanted to say: a dirty workaround is to run texexec with mkii
before since it does generate the file (mkiv doesn't) and then luaTeX
would use that file, but even that seems to be broken now.
Just in case that Hans can spot the reason of error, here it is, but I
will try to find some minimal example to reproduce it.

Re: [NTG-context] distro info
Oliver (who's comming to the meeting with the same probability as you are :) is preparing an installer for Mac, but his last notification was: I have put it aside for a while since the tools for packaging are buggy. Well, now that this Mac installer project of mine has been made semi- official let's put it this way: I've already assembled a working ConTeXt package based on the minimals that installs via the Apple installer. In other words, it will provide the same seamless installation experience to the user as known from the MacTeX package and, in fact, as known from any decent Mac software. However, a few minor issues still need to be sorted out before an initial version can be released to the public. For this reason (and in order to avoid clumsy workarounds) I'm currently waiting for an update of the relevant Apple developer tools which will most probably appear next week. That's actually pretty soon.

1.40.8 beta (window binaries):
ftp://udon.nict.go.jp/pub/text/TeX/ptex-win32/current/pdftex-w32.tar.bz2
donno if this is also fixed in the latest 1.50alpha trunk (no longer
available on akira's site).
maybe some new windows binaries are needed for the minimal distribution.
Thanks for the hint. I tried both this version as well as the
pdftex-stable-w32.bz2 and both don't work.
A backup (20080421) however does work.
The first view lines from the log file:

===
Since the pdfTeX version is the same as the current one, I guess the
problem is not in pdfTeX but in ConTeXt.
But using startstaticMPfigure is not a must for me. startuseMPgraphic
works fine as well, especially with MKIV.
just tried your code with pdftex 1.40.8beta and context beta from
07.06.2008. it works ok here.
i will test this with yesterday beta after lunch. probably the mkiv part
is also working then. so if you want staticmpfigure to work, you have to
update your 'ancient' context and the pdftex binaries. :)
edit: too late, you have already tested it. and as mentioned: mkii is
also working!
Then I have no idea whats going wrong. My procedure
first-setup.bat
copying the pdftex binaries...
texmfstart texexec --make --all --pdftex
texmfstart texexec test.tex
that's all the magic :)
have you also updated the lua scripts in texmf-mswin\bin ?
there is a command option for this, but i copy luatools.lua and
mtxrun.lua still by hand.
texmf-context\scripts\context\lua\? -- texmf-mswin\bin\?
you have to do this every time you update context.
best wishes, peter
generates pdf files without error but with empty pages.
But MKIV is working now, so it is no longer a problem for me.
Thanks and regards, Bernard

is always this value, height is normal).
all tested with the beta from 07.06.2008 and luatex trunk (08.06.2008).
todays beta has additional problems with text color (always black) and
also some unicolored backgrounds appear black only. so i went back to
the prior beta version and changed only the clip part.

Hello,
for a CD-Cover I have to fit a given text into a fixed box. I have tried to
achieve this with the help of mag-0010 Good looking shapes but was not
successful :-(
Can you help me with this?
The conditions:
- the text is of fixed length
- the area is of given size (has a given ratio)
- the text has to fit completely inside this area
- the last line must be justified, too
- the fontsize of the text is the variable that can be changed
- I have the current minimal context installation
and as an addition:
- if possible the words should not be hyphenated at all or hyphenated
at an arbitrary character without a hyphenation mark (the text
consists of names)
A possible algorithm (similar to the one from mag-0010)
1 start with a small box with the given ratio
2 fill the text into the box
3 if all text fits in with a small penalty we are ready
4 make the box a bit larger
5 goto 2
Unfortunately, I'm not able to understand the code from the mag nor can I
code
the algorithm in context ...
I would appreciate any input on this problem!
Thank you

Hi!
Life is much easier if everything is there, thanks it worked better.
Unfortunally it seems that the heading part not work as expected. Only
the first values line get the grey bg and bold font. You can see
attached files.
You mean that you don't get this line?
Time; Decay per second; Errorlimits
To be honest - I do not understand a single line in the database
module. A really dirty future-incompatible workaround is to duplicate
the line. The first one will be swallowed and the lecond one will be
typeset, but that's a bug in the module. Hans? Taco? Why is the first
line ignored?
It worked OK some time ago, and nothing has changed in the module
itself, so it's a complete mystery.
Thanks for helping me!
By the way... you did for a month ago send a working gnuplot module that
is working with Luatex. After a computercrash I lost it. Can you send
that once again??
I guess this is the file I have sent you some time ago, but it doesn't
work any more. I suspect that this portion of code is broken (LuaTeX
doesn't create a new file any more), but I need to test before saying
anything; it might be some completely reason:
\doifmode{*\v!first}{
\immediate\openout\scratchwrite=\GNUPLOTfile.plt
\immediate\write\scratchwrite{set terminal
\@@GNUPLOToutput\space\@@GNUPLOToptions}%
\immediate\write\scratchwrite{load '\GNUPLOTfile.tmp'}%
\immediate\closeout\scratchwrite
}
I wanted to say: a dirty workaround is to run texexec with mkii
before since it does generate the file (mkiv doesn't) and then luaTeX
would use that file, but even that seems to be broken now.
Just in case that Hans can spot the reason of error, here it is, but I
will try to find some minimal example to reproduce it.
! LuaTeX error ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/luat-log.lua:74:
invalid option '%C' to 'format'.
depends where the %C comes from ... maybe %%C works ok in the message
anyhow, i need to redo that module in lua i think

Re: [NTG-context] distro info
Hi Oliver, I've already assembled a working ConTeXt package based on the minimals that installs via the Apple installer. In other words, it will provide the same seamless installation experience to the user as known from the MacTeX package and, in fact, as known from any decent Mac software. Fantastic. Exactly what I need. But will you include TeXShop? Will the tex file system be local (i.e. separated from the usual locations) ? That's actually pretty soon. Yes, of course.

Re: [NTG-context] distro info
I second Andrea's opinion -- I'm also looking forward to a straightforward way of updating ConTeXt and kin. I'm comfortable with ctxtools --updatecontext, but much less comfortable updating binaries and fonts, based on my experience screwing up my installation; a nice Mac OS X interface to deal with all these would be great. How about allowing installation of modules from http://modules.contextgarden.net, too? (I admit that there's probably a good deal of FUD here on my part and it's not as complicated as I think it is.

Re: [NTG-context] fontscript for delicious?
Hello Wolfgang, mmmh, very curious. Today I wasn't able to reproduce the problems I have had yesterday ... Everything works exactly as you said with no changes to your files. So I revoke and argue the converse. Am Mittwoch, 11. Juni 2008 schrieb Wolfgang Schuster: I tested it now on my own system and it worked for me.

The interface for the \definefontsynonym command seems to have changed: There is no third parameter -- this one [features=default] end up in the document as text. Makes no sense because you need the third parameter to define smallcaps if you don't have a seperate font but select it as OpenType feature. Kerning, ligatures etc. are enabled with the features parameter too. No idea, what was wrong ... The third parameter was included as normal text in the resulting pdf. 2. To load the typescript, the command is not \usetypefile [delicious] but \usetypescriptfile [type-delicious] Why did it not work for you, do you get a error message or is the file not loaded, give us more information, ConTeXt version, LuaTeX version, log files ... I've got an error that the command doesn't matches it's definition. This works today without problems, too ... I'm on linux and have installed the context minimal with the help of first-setup.sh on 2008-06-07. So, thank you for your help!

Re: [NTG-context] How could a typesetting system be today?
Sorry to insist, but I would be really interested in approaches that are not just great things we could add to TeX.

I wonder what kind of information that engine should share with plug-ins. Do you think such system is possible? Or something else?

Re: [NTG-context] How could a typesetting system be today?
Do you mean like Scrivener on the Mac? What, in any case, constitutes a universal layout approach? Does one exist? For example, I can do things with plain TeX that mighty InDesign must balk at. Yet some see TeX as yesteryear's solution because of subsequent tech advances. I hardly believe that DEK would be dogmatic about TeX being the only thing out there. Yet he, and thousands of others in the scientific communities where TeX flourishes, sees the value of maintaining a knowledge base that is predictable when it runs on a program that can pass the trip test. Lose that for the sake of innovation, and you can lose real knowledge. And what shall we say for troff, which still possesses an arcane sort of longevity? Imagine this: if you can use TeX running on some older PC and you have some remotely managed BSD setup with packet radio and EME bouncing or whatever, you can be creating documents for all the world to see even if you are out in the bush with a generator and mosquito netting. So TeX's stability has the interesting potential side effect of giving a voice to the voiceless. Our cast-off hardware becomes a window for freedom of speech and expression, as well as the free-beer philanthropy element of getting it into people's hands. If there is to be a universality to layout, part of that should also extend not just across current technologies but also have plugins that can support older technologies. That way we do not generate technological segregation. There are places where people still go outside to relieve themselves, and there are the Japanese washlets at the other extreme. But the human component remains, nonetheless. At minimum, what one needs is a cross-disciplinary approach. My work usually involves issues of finance and development, scheduling, good old editing, elements of design, and knowledge of the subject matter. All these factors directly or indirectly affect layout. Here's where I see the Mac as helpful. On the one hand, you have Aqua, while there's also X and good old terminal. Some folks think abstractly and can whack out macros like Paul Bunyan chops wood. Some think visually and need visual or modular dev tools. Some people are good at modeling situations that are dynamic and interactive, while others have the knack for getting to tried and true base issues that remain when all the noise and lights are gone. If you read Ian Barbour or Jacques Ellul, you see that identity and techne are linked and that the sciences do things differently than the humanities at a deeper level than just style manuals and the inverse relation of obfuscated jargon to psycho-sociological rhetoric. I just don't see a unified typesetting engine in the works until something can easily embrace different national traditions for typesetting, type styles, design preferences, etc. In Germany, man nehmet Dr. Oetker, while in America it's doctor schmocktor, I just wanna feel good amidst an orgiastic consumer society. Think that doesn't get reflected in design choices? 'Cause it does. DEK may be a formidable computer scientist. Yet, as one of his cousins that is a friend of mine and another friend that was two years behind him in high school said, Knuth always loved things like words and music. His literary acumen reflects his tutelage in a school strongly influenced by the classical Gymnasium. He is a man of culture and taste, and he brought all his respect and research regarding longstanding, tried and true typographical traditions to his writing of TeX. Could there be new stuff? Sure. But an exploration of type, typography, layout, and design also points us to some of our basic thoughts on preferences, identity, habituation, etc. Charles On Wed, 2008-06-11 at 21:12 -0300, Maurício wrote: Sorry to insist, but I would be really interested in approaches that are not just great things we could add to TeX.
