[NTG-context] \definefontfamily not finding fonts

2020-09-09 Thread Aditya Mahajan 
Did something change with regard to \definefontfamily recently. 

I have an old document where I use:

\starttypescript[mainface]
  \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Libertinus Serif][features=default]
  \definefontfamily[mainface][ss] [heros]  [features=default] 
  \definefontfamily[mainface][tt] [dejavu] [features=none, rscale=0.85]
  \definefontfamily[mainface][mm] [LibertinusMath]
\stoptypescript

\setupbodyfont[mainface,12pt]

On the recent LMTX (2020.09.05) I get

selectfont  > the requested font 'Libertinus Serif' has no files for the 
'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
selectfont  > the requested font 'heros' has no files for the 'tf' 
alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
selectfont  > the requested font 'dejavu' has no files for the 'tf' 
alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
selectfont  > the requested font 'LibertinusMath' has no files for the 'tf' 
alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.


I can find the fonts using mtxrun --script fonts. For example:

$mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern="LibertinusSerif" --all
identifier   familynamefontname 
 filename  subfont   instances

libertinusserif  libertinusserif   libertinusserif  
 libertinusserif-regular.otf

libertinusserifnormallibertinusserif   
libertinusserifitalic libertinusserif-italic.otf
libertinusserifregular   libertinusserif   libertinusserif

and similar for the other fonts. 

Any idea on what is going on and how to debug.

[NTG-context] Fwd: Re: styling individual parts of ToC entry

2020-09-09 Thread jbf 


After making silly mistakes, for which I apologize, I finally got the 
ToC to work for frontmatter and chapters, creating new \defineheads as 
required, and including the earlier \ChapterListCommand, with the 
results correctly showing.


To add some named sections with authors, I did the following, using an 
idea Hraban had floated:


 \setupsectionblock
 [bodypart]
 [number=no]

\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
  #1\crlf% title
  \structurelistuservariable{author}%
}

\setuplist[section][
  textcommand=\SectionTocEntry,
]

I need to adjust the \setuplist[section] so these section entries move 
across under the Chapter titles (not be left-aligned as they are now 
under Chapter number. The earlier \ChapterListCommand has titles and 
authors moved across 3cm.


I have tried:

\setuplist[section][width=3cm,
  textcommand=\SectionTocEntry,
  ]

The width=3cm is not doing anything, so I've got that wrong. How do I 
move sections across by a specific amount in the TOC?

Have to confess I am still not getting far with the final problem in 
a book that is now fully laid out: frontmatter through to appendices 
is all correct and working, but the Table of Contents not the way I 
need it (as explained earlier and listed in a previous email).


My latest effort focuses on just one item, the Foreword, since if I 
get that right, I can apply the same logic to sections. Chapters are 
already working correctly, thanks to Wolfgang's ChapterListCommand 
and I am assuming I need that for the several frontmatter 'chapters'.


I was earlier using \title for foreword, preface and notes to 
contributors, but have abandoned that as complicating things, and am 
now using \chapter, since it does not produce a numbered item - 
however, it is producing the label 'Chapter' which I don't want for 
these item. You can see below how I tried to avoid that, but it 
failed. My MWE addition to what Wolfgang provided is:


\definehead [foreword] [chapter]

\setuphead [foreword]

\setuplist [foreword]
  [label=foreword,
  alternative=command,
  command=\ChapterListCommand]% definition not included here. It was 
given in an earlier response from Wolfgang.


 And in the frontmatter itself:

\startchapter[foreword][title={\ss Foreword}][author={A. Uthor}]

..


You can set the forword string as labeltext and ignore the title (but 
use a empty argument when set userdata like the author).


\definehead
  [forword] [chapter]

\setuplabeltext
  [en]
  [forword=Forword,

\setuplist

[NTG-context] How do I specify a fallback to Symbola for the playing card range?

2020-09-09 Thread T. Kurt Bond 
I want to use the Unicode Character PLAYING CARD ACE OF SPADES in a ConTeXt
document.  Because of the way the source document is created it has to be
as the actual unicode character itself, rather than a reference to a
specific character in a specific font.

Here's what I've tried, but it doesn't work:

\definefontfallback[mainface][rm][Symbola][preset=range:playingcards,force=yes]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][LibertinusSerif]
\enabletrackers[fonts.missing]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
 Testing!
\stoptext

The PLAYING CARD ACE OF SPADES character does not show up in the output
PDF.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks!

Hi Manuel and Charles,

Some scripts have predefined ranges thanks to Wolfgang, which avoid
specifing all blocks for a given script.

Re: [NTG-context] About font combination in ConTeXt MKIV

2020-09-09 Thread Charles Vejnar 

Dear Manuel,

To combine multiple fonts, I do something like this:

\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [DejaVu 
Serif][range=boxdrawing,force=yes]

\definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [Tinos]
\setupbodyfont[mainface, 11pt]

You might be able to use a Unicode block (ie range) for ancient Greek 
characters (my range being boxdrawing).


Hope this helps.

Charles

[NTG-context] Wrong page number when placefigure spans full page in columnset

2020-09-09 Thread Charles Vejnar 

Hi,

When I place a figure within a columnset and that figure takes a full 
page then the page number in the header is incorrect. Page number is the 
same as the previous page but on the next page it's correct. Please see 
example below and attached showing page 2 twice with pages numbered 1, 
2, 2, 4, 5. If I reduce the height of the figure (from 15 to 12cm for 
example), then some main text gets added on the page and page number (3) 
becomes correct. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong?


Thanks for your help.

Re: [NTG-context] problem embedding TABLE macros within wrapper macros "to reduce repetitive complexity")

2020-09-09 Thread Rudd, Kevin 
[Workable solution found]

After more exploration, the following seems to solve the problem of creating a 
simple 2x2 quad chart; thanks for the explanation that the \bTD requires a 
matching \eTD in the immediate (not future expanded) evaluation context. I 
prefer the \start* and \stop* model but for the moment this solution works for 
my current purpose. The good part is that it does abstract out the interface so 
that I can change it in the future without needing to change the slide text. I 
may investigate a better (parametrizable/reconfigurable) solution later if I 
end up needing a more complex paned-layout environment that doesn't need direct 
access to the TABLE (or some other more relevant) interface.

MWE demonstrator; there's other cruft in the actual definitions for my purposes.

\starttext
\define\startPaneSlide{\bTABLE}
\define\stopPaneSlide{\eTABLE}
\long\def\PaneRow#1{\bTR #1 \eTR}
\long\def\Pane#1{\bTD #1 \eTD}

\startPaneSlide
\PaneRow{\Pane{aaa bbb ccc ddd}\Pane{eee fff ggg hhh}}
\PaneRow{\Pane{iii jjj kkk lll}\Pane{mmm nnn ooo ppp}}
\stopPaneSlide

Re: [NTG-context] TeXlive 2020 / Gentoo Linux: ConTeXt does not find itself (sort of)...]

2020-09-09 Thread Matthijs van der Wild 
If I compare /usr/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmfconf.lua with its counterpart
in Arch Linux, I found the differences in the following entries:

Gentoo:

> TEXMFSYSVAR = "selfautoparent:texmf-var",
> TEXMFOS = "selfautodir:",
> TEXMFDIST   = "selfautoparent:texmf-dist",
> TEXMFSYSCONFIG  = "selfautoparent:texmf-config",
>

Arch:

> TEXMFSYSVAR = "/var/lib/texmf",
> TEXMFOS = "selfautodir:share",
> TEXMFDIST   = "selfautodir:share/texmf-dist",
> TEXMFSYSCONFIG  = "/etc/texmf",
>

Changing the Gentoo file to its Arch equivalent fixes the issue after
running "mtxrun --generate". There may actually be a reason why this
configuration is different in Gentoo compared to Arch, but I haven't had
the time yet to look into it further.

[NTG-context] Access violation

2020-09-09 Thread Christoph Reller 
Dear developers,

I am using ConTeXt LMTX version 2020.09.05 21:18 on Windows 46bit.

I have a large project for which I can reproduce an access violation:
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: -1073741819
Unfortunately, the error vanishes as soon as I alter any detail in the
project's source code.

The access violation happens always at the same location. I have produced a
log file for which I have enabled \tracingall just before the error
happens. I suspect that the error is triggered due to tagging information
written to the PDF (\setuptagging[state=start]), because disabling tagging
prevents the error. The log file (as a ZIP archive) is here
.
Does this help or do you really need a MWE?

Kind regards
Christoph

Same issue here. (BTW: That's the main reason I'm still on MkIV.)

Re: [NTG-context] styling individual parts of ToC entry

2020-09-09 Thread jbf 
Thanks. Just two clarifications (also noting that I altered 'forword' in 
yours to 'foreword' in mine in every instance, just to get the spelling 
right):


1. Compiling your example just as it is below produces a result like:

[foreword: – – 2]Chapter 1 Chapter 1
   A. u. thor  3

We obviously should not be getting [foreword: --2] in our result, nor a 
doubling up of Chapter 1


2. Where do I stand now with the earlier definition  (I mean the 
\define[3]\ChapterListCommand. Is that still used? Including its 
\setuplist part? What you have just given me now makes no reference to 
\ChapterListCommand, so perhaps it is no longer relevant?

[NTG-context] Input file name containing full stop "."

2020-09-09 Thread Christoph Reller 
Dear list,

I am using ConTeXt LMTX Version 2020.09.05 21:18 with an input file named,
e.g., "test.test.tex". When compiling, ConTeXt generates files "test.log",
"test.tua", "test.pdf".

ConTeXt MKIV used to produce files "test.test.log", "test.test.tua",
"test.test.pdf".

Is there a way for ConTeXt LMTX to process input files that contain full
stops consistently? I am aware of the "--result=..." option, but what about
the "...tua", "...log" and synctex files? This is a serious problem when
running multiple compilations in parallel, e.g., on "test.a.tex" and
"test.b.tex", because both processes use the same "test.tua" file.

Cheers,

Christoph

Of course, even if it did work, given the ChapterListCommand, it would 
probably put the author on a line below Foreword, instead of on the same 
line. There are four different components in the ToC, all needing to be 
arranged a bit differently, which is why I haven't got my head around 
what I need to do. They are:


(1) Foreword    author name

(2) Chapter no.   Title

  author name

(3) Chapter no.   Title 1

    Title 2 or subtitle

  author name

(4) Chapter no.   Title

   Section

Yes, Wolfgang, that corrects the minor problem of including the 
author name correctly, even when there is no year range. Thank you.


But since I use \title, not \chapter, for the frontmatter items, ( 
Foreword, Preface, A note on Contributors), the ChapterListCommand 
clearly does not apply, so currently my ToC looks as follows (leaving 
out the pg numbers which correctly align right):



                 Foreword
                 A. Uthor
                        Preface
                 A. Uthor
                         A note on contributors
Chapter One        Year range
                A. Uthor

What I want is for 'Foreword', 'Preface' and 'A note on Contributors' 
to align flushleft with Chapter One, but with author names still 
where they should be (Foreword and Preface have authors, 'A note...' 
does not have an author).


So I tried creating a TitleListCommand which copies the 
ChapterListCommand. But where I run into difficulties then is with a 
new lot of \setuplist to accommodate that. There are three different 
labels involved (Foreword, Preface, and A note on Contributors).


And why is it that even with the current setup, 'Foreword' has 
aligned with author name, not with 'Preface' and 'A note...'? All 
three are \title, after all.


All in all this is a most complicated ToC! What I need is for the ToC 
to look like I show it below, and you will note the additional 
complication of Chapter Two which does not have an author, but 
instead it is the SECTIONS in the Chapter that have authors!


I'm sure if I can get on top of all this somehow, no future ToC is 
ever going to cause me problems! The body of the book is all looking 
good, all 300 pages of it. It is just the automatically produced ToC 
that is causing the headaches.


Foreword                   A. Uthor    pg no.
Preface                 A. Uthor   "
A note on Contributors "
Chapter One     Chapter Title
                      A. Uthor  "
Chapter Two Chapter title
A section  Context
  A. Uthor "
Another section    Reflection
  A. Author   "

So what I have below as an MWE is fundamentally what you gave me (I 
have left out the correctly working ChapterListCommand), altered for 
\title, but I haven't got the setups below correct because I don't 
know how to do it. I have replaced unknowns with a question mark!


And at the moment I have nothing for the 'sections' with authors I 
need for Chapter Two. I assume I would set up a third definition 
called \SectionListCommand. Sections will have different labels too - 
one will be called 'Context', the other 'Reflection'.


\define[3]\TitleListCommand
  {\hbox\bgroup
 \hbox to 3cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}% number + labeltext
 \vtop\bgroup
   \hsize\dimexpr\makeupwidth-3cm\relax
