an easy and "naiive" test can be trying to connect to that port via rsync:
telnet 193.2.4.200 rsync
or
telnet 193.2.4.200 873
the output should look similar to this if that outgoing port is open (not
blocked):
Trying 193.2.4.200...

[NTG-context] how to set PDF TrimBox ?
Hi, how can I set the /TrimBox values in PDF ? right now I use \setuppapersize[A4][B4] with \setuplayout[marking=color,...] and the print shop asks to set the /TrimBox to A4 (which right now is set to B4 paper format). obviously I can change that with pdftk/qpdf/sed/... in a nice shell-one-liner but I guess there is a more context way to achieve this? ;-) thanks, Harald -- I hope to die ___ _ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word., 0--,|/OOO\ Donald E.

Depending on the strange macros that you want to use,
this should generally work. I find that this gives one many more
options.
ACK! works even for my strange macros ;-)

[NTG-context] how to set figure label ?
Hi,
how can I set a label for a figure without
\placefigure[][fig:...]{}
for some figures I use strange macros -- and at those places I get errors
when calling \placefigure
BUT I'd like to check the page numbers of those places using
\doifreferencefoundelse{fig:bild\the\bildnr}%
and right now I get
references unknown reference '[][fig:bild5]'
for those pictures...

[NTG-context] (hindi) font questions
Hi,
I'd like to type set a single hindi/devanagari word in a chapter heading (using
standalone MkVI),
where I need your help for some questions/problems:
- which (free) font do you suggest ? right now I'm using Lohit-Devanagari.
text font is 11pt Palatino, Lohit doesn't match too good, and a bold version
would be nice for the chapter head.
- font size: how do I define this font to get automatic/matching font sizes
for both the chapter head and the title of contents ?
right now I use
\definefont [hindib] [Lohit-Devanagari at 24pt]
...
\mychapter{Danke -- {\hindib धन्यवाद}}
which gives a reaosonable font size for the chapter title,
but of course that's way too large for the TOC:-(
what's the right way to define a scalable single font (or two, if you have a
suggestion
for a normal+bold devanagari font) in ConTeXt ?
thanks,
Harald

[NTG-context] Hello -- and RFH (Request For Help) for privately typesetting a new travelling book
Hello ConTeXt users! since I'm new to this list (and the group of context users;) a quick introduction to myself and my current project: I've been using LaTeX since 1986 -- some of you may know me from some TeX meetings (and recently also the context users's meetings -- without really using context so far). in 2009 using LaTeX I typeset a 100 page diary+pictures book about a group tour from our parish to Israel and Jordan. making text flowing around the picutres with LaTeX (in the way I'd like to typeset it) was a real nightmare with LaTeX. so after finishing that project with LaTeX due to severe time constraints, I've used that text to convert it to context and learn a bit how this book can be typeset (much better?) using context -- mostly whenever I met Hans at every tex conference I could et hands on him, and also Willi and other helpers! but the context-way Isreal book always remained unfinished or at least unpolished as there was no need (and again no time) to really perfectly finish up. now this happend again: recently I've been traveling through India, again with a group of our parish. and again, there was that idea to make such a nice book like for the Isreal tour. so this time, I'd like to use context instead of latex... BUT, there are still quite some issues where I'll need *your* help to make this really work and get a nice book. I'll try to split up my questions into separate mails, hopefully with small to minimal examples if possible (and if you'd like to get hards on my complete ugly tex code, plesae feel free to ask me!... ;-) so thanks in advance for any advice and help, Harald -- I hope to die ___ _ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word., 0--,|/OOO\ Donald E.

[NTG-context] shrink JPGs to some resolution (dpi) ?

I know about ghostscript being able to convert/shrink PDFs, but first the original PDF with full size JPGs with be really huge, and ghostscript takes ages to shrink them. so that's not real fun doing this too often... right now I write the real typeset size of all images to the log file and use some external script to calculate the current resolution and then create a new set of images which e.g. 300 dpi. but that's still an ugly hack still has some issues with EXIF data, rotation, clipping, ... and right now leads to strage problems (see mext mail;) any hints to read the original large JPGs, but only write print quality 300dpi images, or low quaity 75dpi images for speed (and saving net bandwidth when mailing PDFs to co-workers of the group)? thanks, Harald -- I hope to die ___ _ before I *have* to use Microsoft Word., 0--,|/OOO\ Donald E.

whenever the images are reworked, this will happen on the original pictures
and then the resize/... steps are needed again.
yes I know, makefiles and easy shell scripting can do all this work (actually
they do already;)
but I dream of reducing the number of tools, processing steps, ...
I thought everyone using jpeg images might have the same interest without
additional hassle:
just make my output PDF suitable for printing at 300dpi quality or similar...
runtime potimisation (e.g. caching) is a different topic,
and that also can be solves nicely with lua I'd guess?!;-)
imagemagick or your favorite photo batch processor to convert all
the high quality jpegs to low quality jpegs.
ACK -- sort of:
have a look for my next mail jpeg problem: Dimension too large

and I need information about the rendering size of the image from context (if
pictures
are used in different sizes or come from different types of cameras etc.),
so it's not a imagemagick-only thing.
Say you have directories images/print that contain 300dpi images and
images/screen that contain 100dpi images. Then you can use:
\setupexternalfigures
[directory={images/print}]
\startmode[screen]
\setupexternalfigures
[directory={images/screen}]
\stopmode
Run with context --mode=screen to get low-resolution images.
except for the mode thing (thanks for that nice context example!!)
that's how my setup looks already! though I'd like context (lua?) to shrink
the images
(and maybe even write to some cache directory? not really needed, but nice
idea while typing;-)
thanks,
Harald

Re: [NTG-context] shrink JPGs to some resolution (dpi) ?
On Mar 10, Hans Hagen wrote:
anyway, i need to think a bit about it but we do have all the info
available, like
- needed width/height
- original width/height
and from that we can calculate some conversion parameters
if you start thinking/working on this, some data from EXIF
might be interesting and helpful too, esp. the Orientation.
using that data, automatic rotation to the correct orientation
would be possible.
maybe there are more interesting information in the exif data?!
what about color space infos ?
or time stamps or GPS data which might be used to be typeset...
if it would help you i can provide a tracker that will save info
like this (per image):
that would be great as my current \message{} stuff is far from being perfect...
