[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Eliminating orpans in the Index
Hello Everyone, in my two-column index there are several cases when the last entry in the given letter group overflows to the next column/page. In the extreme case it is just the last page reference. Can I somehow prevent this? E.g. keep at least two/three index entries together when the overflowing is triggered? And always keep all the page references together? Additionaly, columns are not balanced properly in all cases. When the first is longer, it is not a big problem. But the opposite case looks weird. Can I influence this behaviour?

Re: [NTG-context] Numberconversion problem in caption prefixes
Thanks again Wolfgang, with this setup everything is fine.
But I wanted to bring to the attention of Hans the inconsistency of the
prefix conversions by defaut, so that he can correct them:
I A chapter
[a figure] Figure I.1 % -- Here the conversion of the prefix to
Romannumerals is done AUTOMATICALLY.
1.1 A section
[a figure] Figure 1.2 % -- Here the conversion of the prefix to
Romannumerals is NOT done AUTOMATICALLY (the presence of a section before
seems to DISCARD THE AUTOMATIC CONVERSION). Nor in the prefix of the
section.
Code:
\setuphead[chapter][conversion=Romannumerals]
\starttext
\chapter{A chapter}
\placefigure{}{\externalfigure}
\section{A section}
\placefigure{}{\externalfigure}
\stoptext
Every prefix should be AUTOMATICALLY converted, not half of them. Hans,
could you please correct that in the next betas?
Best regards.

Re: [NTG-context] [OT] − RobotoSlab Italics… or not
Am 23.11.2013 um 18:51 schrieb Renaud Aubin r...@renaud.io:
Hi folks,
I'm working on a Roboto typescript and starting from the work done by
Zen Lima back in last July, I would like to push things further.
Since I work on some Android projects and use Google Keep mostly on a
daily basis, I was surprised to not find italics for the RobotoSlab
(either on the web or by extracting the assets of the Keep package).
Why am I surprised: Keep do have serif title placeholders for the new
note EditText and I see it everyday!
$ mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=robotoslab
robotoslab robotoslabbold RobotoSlab-Bold.ttf
robotoslabbold robotoslabbold RobotoSlab-Bold.ttf
robotoslablight robotoslablight RobotoSlab-Light.ttf
robotoslabregular robotoslabregular RobotoSlab-Regular.ttf
robotoslabthin robotoslabthin RobotoSlab-Thin.ttf
OK, RobotoSlab fonts are accessible and I have a working typescript to
use RobotoSlab with ConTeXt MkIV (I'll made the git repo public soon).
At first, my thoughts are: nevermind the Slab italics but now, I'm
curious since Inkscape, LibreOffice, … propose the italic and bolditalic
features of the RobotoSlab (check out the attached font-manager screenshot).
I've worked with different kind of fonts'family (more or less complete)
and used and modified many typescripts in my ConTeXter's life but there
I should be missing something obvious. Where are the RobotoSlab
Italics??? My experience is that italic and bolditalic should correspond
to files… First guess: no files so the RobotoSlab Italic and BoldItalic
features are just faked ones composed by my GNU/Linux Debian system. No,
I must be wrong here too…
Any thoughts on The Quest of the Hidden Italics of the RobotoSlab fonts!“?
The font has no italic but inkscape slants the regular and bold styles to get
them,
you can do the same in context with the slant key from \definefontfeature.
\definefontfeature[slanted][default][mode=base,slant=.25]
\definefontfamily[roboto][rm][Roboto

Re: [NTG-context] [OT] − RobotoSlab Italics… or not

Hi folks,
I'm working on a Roboto typescript and starting from the work done by
Zen Lima back in last July, I would like to push things further.
Since I work on some Android projects and use Google Keep mostly on a
daily basis, I was surprised to not find italics for the RobotoSlab
(either on the web or by extracting the assets of the Keep package).
Why am I surprised: Keep do have serif title placeholders for the new
note EditText and I see it everyday!
$ mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=robotoslab
robotoslab robotoslabbold RobotoSlab-Bold.ttf
robotoslabbold robotoslabbold RobotoSlab-Bold.ttf
robotoslablight robotoslablight RobotoSlab-Light.ttf
robotoslabregular robotoslabregular RobotoSlab-Regular.ttf
robotoslabthin robotoslabthin RobotoSlab-Thin.ttf
OK, RobotoSlab fonts are accessible and I have a working typescript to
use RobotoSlab with ConTeXt MkIV (I'll made the git repo public soon).
At first, my thoughts are: nevermind the Slab italics but now, I'm
curious since Inkscape, LibreOffice, … propose the italic and bolditalic
features of the RobotoSlab (check out the attached font-manager screenshot).
I've worked with different kind of fonts'family (more or less complete)
and used and modified many typescripts in my ConTeXter's life but there
I should be missing something obvious. Where are the RobotoSlab
Italics??? My experience is that italic and bolditalic should correspond
to files… First guess: no files so the RobotoSlab Italic and BoldItalic
features are just faked ones composed by my GNU/Linux Debian system. No,
I must be wrong here too…
Any thoughts on The Quest of the Hidden Italics of the RobotoSlab fonts!“?
The font has no italic but inkscape slants the regular and bold styles to get
them,
you can do the same in context with the slant key from \definefontfeature.
\definefontfeature[slanted][default][mode=base,slant=.25]
\definefontfamily[roboto][rm][Roboto
Slab][it=features:slanted,bi=features:slanted]
\setupbodyfont[roboto]
\starttext
Regular {\it Italic} {\bf Bold} {\bi BoldItalic}
\stoptext

Thank you Wolfgang,
I've made a repo: https://github.com/nibua-r/roboto-context
Reviews are always welcome!
Any chance that this typescript could find a way to the main ConTeXt distro?
