[NTG-context] Empty page at the end of document
After reading Wiki and searching this list I still have problems with the additional empty page appearing at the end of my document. This only happens when that said extra page would make the document to have even number of pages but as my document is meant to be singlesided I see no reason why it would be required to have an even number of pages.

Hi,
how can I can change the stepper for PDF-Layers, the code from the
presentation
module 60 use InvokeStepper and makes with every step only the next
layer visible
but I want to hide also a few layers in certain steps.
In my example in the steps one to seven the layer for each step should be
shown
but in the eight step layer eight should be visible and layer seven should be
deactivated at the same time.
You could also see what I want also in the PDF file but it use fieldstacks and
is very slow for more than 100 fields for each graphic.

Re: [NTG-context] mtxrun
Hi Hans, Hans van der Meer wrote: So, I am still stuck with cannot open : No such file or directory. on calling 'mtxrun --script fonts' etc. I should have tried this myself instead of attempting to guess. :-( The problem is this line in mtx-fonts.lua: dofile(input.find_file(font-syn.lua)) input.find_file fails to find the file and then dofile gives the empty error message. The standalone command luatools failed to find the file, even though it is actually there. After a little experiment, the problem seems to be that discovering of .lua files is controlled by the TEXMFSCRIPTS variable (so *not* LUAINPUTS). I've adjusted my texmf.cnf so that it now contains TEXMFSCRIPTS = .;$TEXMF/scripts/context//;$TEXMF/tex/context/base and suddenly all is well again. I think this is a side-effect of recent change in the file discovery api. Hans?

Its Arabic-script editing features are truly unique and useful. Eg, I select/edit vowels horizontally not vertically. Unipad has: Char Info bar: character code value (U+) character name (if assigned) character category (letter, decimal digit, etc.) character block (script, collection, etc.) Extended Char Info bar: decimal character code value encoded byte sequence (octals) bidirectional character type decimal digit value (only if the character represents a decimal digit) Unipad is not a good choice for a programmer's or TeX editor, but in overall unicode editing it is unrivalled, although it has not been updated since Unicode 4.1.0 :-( Fortunately, thanks to WINE, it does run under Linux, even their web site lists WINE as one of the supported platforms.
