Re: [NTG-context] new beta
Hi Hans
Thanks for the code so that we can use fonts in Plain and LaTeX.
I just had two questions
1- I got the code from Khaled. How can I get the beta myself from your
repository? I just joined ConTeXt mailing list.
2- Your code works fine but if in LaTeX, I compile a document like
%%%
\documentclass{article}
\pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT \pardir TRT \textdir TRT
\directlua {
dofile(kpse.find_file("luatex-fonts.lua","tex"))
}
\font\body=file:XBZar.ttf:mode=node;script=arab;language=ara;+init;+medi;+fina;+liga;+rlig;+mark;+mkmk
at 14pt
\def\normalfont{\body}
\AtBeginDocument{\body}
\begin{document}
این یک آزمایش است که در حال وقوع است.
\section{مقدمه}
\end{document}
%%%
Then it gives this error
! LuaTeX error /home/vafa/texmf/tex/luatex-fonts/font-def.lua:337: attempt
to c
all field 'read_from_afm' (a nil value).
relax
l.16 \section{مقدمه}
?
Do you know how I can resolve this issue. The issue is when you use \section
and similarly when you use \chapter, \textbf, \begin{} \end{.}
If I can resolve this, Then I will be writting a LaTeX interface for the
fonts.

If so, how?

I am not sure, but maybe that would be a good idea: gather 1,2,3,...
tokens and pack them (as a whole) into an hbox until its width is
greater than the frame width, output it, and repeat until there's
nothing left. This would be very time-consuming (at least without lua),
but it should preserve kerns etc.
Also, instead of examining the width, one could probably pack the tokens
into an \hbox to ... {...} and examine the badness.
I don't dare to try to implement it, though - at least not at 00:17 AM;)

In this example I should expected that
hy- => hy
and some changes in glues
and nothing else.
Also text with \handletokens is ,well, "not so good " (ie horrible) .

Thanks Wolfgang for the reply, but this isn't exactly what I was looking for.
As you can see here
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Framed
the box isn't filled on the right side because Context, in such way,
formats the text.
What I was looking for is a 'snaked' output where the text follows in
a new line once it reaches the right side of the box.
Cheers

[NTG-context] TikZ, MKIV and font switching
Hi folks,
I would use TikZ/mindmap to make some figures for a paper. Since I
have to install TikZ, I have updated my minimals yesterday and began
to really use MKIV. My problem is that when I process
\enableregime[utf8]
\useencoding[ffr]
\mainlanguage[fr]
\usetypescript[helvetica][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[helvetica,12pt]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\usemodule[tikz]
\usetikzlibrary[mindmap]
\starttext
\input knuth
\starttikzpicture[font=\nofont,mindmap,text=white,
root concept/.style={concept color=blue},
level 1 concept/.append style=
{every child/.style={concept color=blue!50}}]
\node [concept] {Root Concept}
child[grow=30] {node[concept] {child}}
child[grow=0 ] {node[concept] {child}};
\stoptikzpicture
\input tufte
\stoptext
the font switching is OK for the "\input ***" things but not for the
embedded text. That's probably due to my lack of knowledge of TikZ but
I have just found nothing usefull (nothing evident even in the pgf
manual) about font switching within TikZ pictures with ConTeXt...
(This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.37.0-2009040617 (Web2C 7.5.7))
Best regards,
Renaud

Dear all,
I need to draw underlines under a paragraph. The number of
underlines is
determined by the number of lines of the paragraph. For example:
\definetextbackground
[underline]
[location=text,
alternative=1,
background=,
frame=off]
\starttext
\startunderline
\input knuth
\stopunderline
\stoptext
It is not what I want. First, the underline is too close to the
text. I need
to be able to manipulate the distance between the underline and the
text.
Second, the underline of the last line has the same length with the
last
line of the text. The underlines should be all the same length.
location=paragraph
Another question: How can I set the header of the pages of contents?
\setupheadtext[][content=...]
or
\title{...}
\placecontent
I don't mean the head of contents. I mean the header of the page,
which is
the opposite concept to footer. It seems the head of the contents is
not
treated as chapter. I tried \getmarking, but it doesn't work.
The context term is headertext and \title is used for the header,
try \getmarking[title].

To be honest, it was the other way around: I was trying hard to find a chance to compile on *as old machine as possible*. Compiling on cutting-edge linux would be much more trivial than compiling on Debian Etch, but then Luigi comes and starts complaining that the binaries compiled on Taco's server (that runs a reasonably new linux) don't work on his distribution. Since Taco promissed to change this library dependency this week, I would prefer to wait on his patch. If you have your own binary, just comment out the rsync line in first-setup that updates the updater and replace bin/texlua with your own luatex. (Unless you deleted the distribuiton before, you now have a non-updated distribution rather than a non-working one, so you can hopefully still compile the documents.) On the other hand, since luatex is already almost-broken anyway, it might make less demage if we make it work on recent distributions than if we make it work on older distributions. I leave that decision to Taco.
