Re: [NTG-context] mathcases look different in mathalign and formula
Hi Hans, A few days ago, I started a similar thread on the Lucida mailing list at TUG. Karl Berry said that they'd discuss and look for a method to achieve a consistent look of braces in Lucida. Thanks for telling about the strut=no option. I'll try it this weekend, but I think it will solve my problem for now. I'll try to remind you of the mathcases macros...

I'm not sure if I understand the issue

$a \ruledhbox{$+$} b \ruledhbox{$-$} c$
$a \ruledhbox{$±$} b \ruledhbox{$∓$} c$
they are 'binary' in math mode, just like + and -
The question is not about the shape of the glyph, but their location.
But after looking at the output of latex for CM and Cambria, I am no
longer sure what the correct output should be. For Cambria, ConTeXt and
LaTeX give similar outputs. For CM/LM they give different outputs.
it looks like the open type version has a fitting boundingbox while
the type 1 variants have a bit of the + sticking out:
CFF fonts do not store bounding box info anywhere, the engine just
calculates it based on glyph outlines. For TFM fonts the metrics can be
adjusted to achieve specific alignment.
Sure, but one can 'cheat' with the boundingboxes as they're not cropboxes.
It's no big deal to adapt some metrics in mkiv, but best have the font
do the job.

April 8: tlnet (and TL'12) frozen, tlpretest starts, CTAN updates continue there. May 20: complete freeze for final build, no more updates, final doc tweaks, always more testing.

[NTG-context] Running heads, American style.
Since I spent the better part of two days puzzling over this simple task I thought I would share. The American style for running heads for non-fiction books is to have the current chapter on the left (verso) page and the current section on the right (recto) page. The text for each is near the spine and the page number near the outside edge. The layout must be set doublesided in context. Two commands are pertinent: \setupheader[leftstyle=bold,rightstyle=bold] \setupheadertexts[text][section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] On the actual page spread the chapter title wll be on the laft of the spread and the section title on the right. But the \setupheadertexts command has them reversed. The recto gets described first and then the verso. The manual describes them otherwise. left then right, but it is really right, then left. Also the location parameter (first bracket pair) is mandatory for this kind of header setup. And just putting [] won't work. You have to specify a location. Now old hands will have memorized all these peculiarities long ago. I write this for beginners at the context game, like me. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: Create Book Covers with Scribus available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] Running heads, American style.
Hi John, Perhaps http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupheadertexts will be of some help? Though, the wiki page does not list the [text] argument in your second command. I'm not sure that ConTeXt sees recto and verso, as the wiki page talks of even and odd pages.

The American style for running heads for non-fiction books is to have the current chapter on the left (verso) page and the current section on the right (recto) page. The text for each is near the spine and the page number near the outside edge. The layout must be set doublesided in context. Two commands are pertinent: \setupheader[leftstyle=bold,rightstyle=bold] \setupheadertexts[text][section][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] On the actual page spread the chapter title wll be on the laft of the spread and the section title on the right. But the \setupheadertexts command has them reversed. The recto gets described first and then the verso. The manual describes them otherwise. left then right, but it is really right, then left. Also the location parameter (first bracket pair) is mandatory for this kind of header setup. And just putting [] won't work. You have to specify a location.
