[NTG-context] PDF/X-1A
Dear List, A lot of you guys helped me through the process of setting a little booklet and I have to say I was proud of the result (44 full color pages with a lot of pictures and texts). Thanks for that. I'm now in the process of printing that booklet. I was happy to send my beautiful pdf to the printer for 250 copies, pdf file that has been refused because not in a PDF/X-1A format. I googled a bit and learned a bit about that: wikipedia has a good article [0] on the topic and there is LaTeX package (pdfx) for pdfTeX that has a good doc about that [1]. In short, PDF/X-1A is a set of rules and subset of PDF that ensures that the document will be see exactly the same for the editor and the printer (embed every fonts, use only CMYK and son on). Here is my question: is it possible to produce such documents with ConTeXt? It is quite frustrating to provide my printer with huge jpeg files. Thanks for the reply, -AJ [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/X [1] http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx/pdfx.pdf ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] left page / right page layout
Dear list, One more (last) problem regarding layout I can't resolve by myself: I've got a little booklet (2 A5 pages on one A4 sheet). The outside margins are colored in blue. I would like to color the left outside margin in yellow and keep the right outside margin in blue. I've read and tried to adapt the 'Alternative backgrounds' example on the wiki without any success. When I try to use leftpage (or rightpage) in \setupbackgrounds, the background of the whole left page is colored.

Re: [NTG-context] layout problem
Dear all, I follow up my own post to answer my own question: Antoine Junod t...@tots-ns.net writes: [...] * My 'printer' (the company that will print the booklet for me, not sure that the good word) asks me to provide him with a document that is 2mm larger and 2mm higher that the final one to be sure he can print precisely to the exact border of the paper. I don't want to magnify the whole document as it will maybe cut some information. Any idea on how I could achive that? What I did first has been to define two new paper sizes. The first one, pca4 is the format I have to send to the printer. The second one is exactly half size of the first one: \definepapersize[pca4][width=212mm,height=299mm] \definepapersize[pca5][width=149.5mm, height=212mm] Then, I put two pca5 on one pca5: \setuppapersize[pca5][pca4] \setuparranging[2UP,rotated] The only thing I changed to my layout was the outside margin (rightmargin), to which I added pca5.width minus a5.width (that is 1.5mm). \definelayout [default] [leftmargin=0mm,rightmargin=25.5mm, % instead of 24mm topspace=0mm,backspace=10mm, width=115mm,height=middle] \setuplayout[location=middle] \setuplayout[default] This is not a good solution because the 'security' milimeters are part of the margin (ie, if you center something in the margin, it won't be still centered after printing / cutting). So, if anybody has a solution to even 'extend' the borders of a given size or put graphics on the 'container' (here, pca4), I'm a buyer :) Thanks to everybody, -AJ ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] layout problem
Dear list,
I've got two layout problems I can't resolve by myself:
* On the left pages, in the left margin, there is a white stripe. I
don't really understand why. I've read on the wiki that when we
describe a layout for a double page layout, the left pages layout is
a mirror of the right ones. And on the right ones, there are no
white stripes...
* My 'printer' (the company that will print the booklet for me, not
sure that the good word) asks me to provide him with a document that
is 2mm larger and 2mm higher that the final one to be sure he can
print precisely to the exact border of the paper. I don't want to
magnify the whole document as it will maybe cut some
information. Any idea on how I could achive that?
Linked is the pdf output. Below is the minimal example used to create
the pdf output.

Hello List, I'm trying to design a little booklet on the form two A5 pages on a A4 sheet. It's not hard to do as it is well documented. The problem is the following: I would like to add a table (actually a people list with firstname, lastname, mobile, address and so on and so on) that is quite wide. The idea is to put it on a double page (ie, when you open the booklet, the table is on both the left and the right page). The easy way would be to 1) manually cut the table in two tables (a left one and a right one) that fit on a page and 2) to put them each on their own page, beeing sure the left one is on a left page. Here, the difficulty is to align both tables accross the pages. Another way would be to ask context to do that by himself. Is there a way to do that?

[NTG-context] typescript and memory usage
Hello list, Thanks to Hans, Hraban, Wolfgang and Aditya, I've successfully played with typescripts and Garamond PP as provided by Adobe with luatex.

My document test only contains nothing but a \switchtobodyfont but it takes 8.7 seconds to compile on a 4000 bogomips machine (athlon 2400+). For the C lover I am, that seems, errh, HUGE. Is it normal? Note that if I remove the [features=default] argument, mem is divided by 2, and time by 3. Also note that if I use more faces, it can go to 2Go of ram and 2 minutes of computing.

[NTG-context] typescript
Hello, List! Follownig your recommendations while playing with fonts, I've started to write one. It's actually very basic but I already have a few questions. Here is the basic, working stuff I did until now: \starttypescript[serif][garamondpp] \definefontsynonym [GaramondPP-Roman] [GaramondPremrPro] \definefontsynonym [GaramondPP-Bold] [GaramondPremrPro-Bd] \definefontsynonym [GaramondPP-Italic] [GaramondPremrPro-It] \definefontsynonym [GaramondPP-Bold-Italic][GaramondPremrPro-BdIt] \stoptypescript If I've understood what I did in that part, I've simply defined alias for the font file names. What I do not catch is the \starttypescript line. Is it right to say that the second parameter is the name of the 'class' to which the definitions that follow are linked? Second question on that part: Is the first argument (serif) a reserved keyword or not? What's the point of that argument? Third and last question for that part, in the case, as in here, where the font file names are easy to remember, is it still needed to create that synonyms for any reason? Then, I wrote the [name] part of the typescript, as the following: \starttypescript[serif][garamondpp][name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [GaramondPP-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [GaramondPP-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic][GaramondPP-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [SerifItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic][GaramondPP-Bold-Italic] \stoptypescript If I caught the point of the last argument, it is here to indicate that what follows links font files to the pre-defined font concept that are Serif, SerifBold, SerifItalic and so on and so on). Here are my questions: I've seen in the sources that there were 7 predefined types in the Serif family: Serif, SerifBold, SerifItalic, SerifSlanted, SerifBoldItalic and SerifBoldSlanted. What if I have a font that not only have a Bold face but also a Medium face and a SemiBold face? Second question: my font do not have a slanted face and I do not want to have pieces of computer modern in the text because, by mistake, I typed an \sl switch or something related. To avoid that, you can see I declared SerifSlanted to be a synonym for SerifItalic. Is it the way to do that or is it better to directly define SerifSlanted as a synonym to GaramondPP-Italic (in my case)? And for the last part of my little type script: \starttypescript [GaramondPP] \definetypeface [GaramondPP][rm][serif][garamondpp][default] \stoptypescript That part is for me a beautiful piece of ununderstanding :) First question: the first argument is the name we will use with the \usetypescript command. Right? Second question: the first argument of the \definetypescript is the name that will be used with the \setupbodyfont call. Is it right? Isn't there any conflict with the GaramondPP of the \starttypescript and the one of the \definetypeface? Or do they need to be the same? Other question: how are related the three following parameters (rm, serif and garamondpp)? And finally, what's the point of the 'default' argument? I'm aware that's a huge load of questions. Nothing is urgent but every replies are welcome, and that will allow me to help others. More questions will certainly occurs later (certainly related to sizes) but at first I'll try to better understand all what is above. Thanks a lot for everything!

If I've understood what I read, I need to use the \definefontsysnonym command. But I'm currently not able to find any doc about \definefontsynonym (a grammar or a definition or something identical). Texshow does not contain it, nor does the context commands manual. I've seen a bit about it in the Fonts in Context manual (mfonts.pdf) but nothing about the 'feature' as in type-otf.tex [1].

Wow, beautifull, thanks :) Where is the * and what we can put after

The * is used to assign a feature to the font and you could find a
description in font-ini.tex /grep for \definefontfeature) but the
better way is to use typescripts for your fonts.
Okay. That's what I'm trying to do right now.
ConTeXt has the following features predefined:
- default
- smallcaps
- oldstyle
Yep, I saw them in font-ini.tex, as you pointed me to.
It is also possible to change the features of a font within the text
with the command \setfontfeature{...}.
But, if I've understood the point, there is no reason to do that if I
use a proper typescript. Right?
Best regards,
-AJ

[NTG-context] small caps and old numbers with open type fonts

What should I do to use the old-style numbers of my font? Did a miss a doc about that? Or did I missunderstood the \os command (I thought it was a switch to the old-style of the font but it seems rather to change of font)?
