[NTG-context] \setuparranging with margins
Hi, Can I use \setuparranging (with, say, [2*4]), but asking for a specific margin between pages? Like asking for 4 A5 pages / sheet, but with always 2 cm between pages edges?

[NTG-context] Weird layout
Hi, I don't know if this is an usual problem... I'm printing a book on size A5. The person who is going to build the book said he needs 0.5cm extra around all borders. I'm printing 4 pages at each paper sheet (\setuparranging[2*4]). However, printing will be done in A3; this means the resulting 2*4 (A5+border) should be centered in an A3 sheet. (Of course, this A3 sheet is going to be printed centered in a 2*4(A5+border) blank sheet. Is there a proper way to do that? My naive attempt was to format my book as if it had a size a little bit more than A5 and just \setuparranging to get the result, but this way it is difficult to study the layout properly, I get no markings and other problems.

[NTG-context] Problem on switching typefaces
In the example below, all text printed on body font
is okay. However, the text inside braces disapears.
Problem seems not to be with specific typeface, as
'chorus' shows properly when used as body font. Also,
changing chorus for others (palatino, chermes, schola,
pagella etc.) do not solve the problem.
What do you think I'm doing wrong?

[NTG-context] On creating my own fonts
I've been doing some searching on how to create my own fonts. If
possible, I would like to be able to write my own program to
at least draw glyphs, even if I have to resort to other tools
to describe hinting, kerning and ligatures.
My current knowledge is this. I read that OpenType fonts are
actually Type 1 fonts embedded in an archive. So I used this
't1disasm' tool I found after wikipedia article on postscript
fonts and used it to decode one of ConTeXt minimal distribution
font file into a nice to read text file that looks like the
transcript below, and it seems to be something I could easily
understand if I find a reference.
I would like to ask you if I'm in the proper direction. There
are some issues I can't understand, like how can I make OpenType
fonts out of Type 1 fonts when the later are supposed to only
contain 256 characters (aren't they?). Or how to understand
this text file format so I can write my own glyphs.
Do you think I'm in the right direction. Do you think there's
an easier or better way if I want to create fonts without
using existing graphical tools?
Thanks,
Maurício

[NTG-context] Using a tikz package
I would like to use this package for drawing circuits: http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/circuitikz/index.html The examples are in Latex, but I imagine it could be used in ConTeXt since it's written using Tikz.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt minimals installation problem
It's counter-intuitive, but I'm afraid that stable might be a bi broken at the moment. I didn't find discussion on that on the list, so I think it is not bad to ask: has context considered these new fashion version control systems? I've been using these for a few months (darcs and, recently, mercurial), and I can tell it's really worth, although I don't know if developers do have time to try or plan such kind of switch.

226b becomes just a 'b' and 2115 is also
a blank. The choosen font is just one I
selected (randomly) for testing.
Is there a font I could select that would give
me a wide set of unicode characters? Actually: is
the choice of font the reason for the missing
characters, or I'm just doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,

[NTG-context] Instalation of minimal
Hi, Are information on this page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals still valid? After following instructions and successfull (I think) rsync sessions I try: source ~/context/tex/setuptex ~/context/tex and I'm told ~/context/tex is not a valid TeX directory. I also tried downloading a 'linux.zip' from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma and it says the same. It also complains about a missing 'plain.tex'. What is the easier way to install MK IV? I usually use ConTeXt that comes with Ubuntu, I just need MK IV in one session where I need to type unicode characters by their number. (A previous message from Hans says \char2019 would word for sure in MK IV.)

[NTG-context] Typing unicode
Hi,
This is probably a really basic question
already asked many times, but I wasn't able
to find an answer.
How to type an unicode character using its
number? Searching for messages, I found
things like:
2019
\char2019
\char{2019}
\utfchar{2019}
but I wasn't able to get any of them to
work. (I don't know for sure they actually
should do what I want.)
'texexec --version' says:
TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD

[NTG-context] What should I learn?
Hi, I would like to ask you some advice on what should I learn. Context was the first typography program I used. Then I tried Tex and a little bit of latex. Context is where I get the best results, but what I really would like is something that allows me to do things in my own way, not something that's always great for reasons I don't understand. (Of course, the first documents I would type would not be that good, but I'll learn with time.) I thought Tex could be that, but it's not. I can't use it to create something to fit my (worst) taste instead of Knuth's (better) taste without doing a lot more work than I'm able to do. I also like to write programs (I use a really nice language named Haskell). Do you thing I could get what I want if I write or translate typography functions to that language, and then write programs to generate documents? Where could I find or where could I learn about such functions?

Re: [NTG-context] How could a typesetting system be today?
The reason for a standard tag language is that the main engine should be able to do some operations on data, like breaking it in pieces like words, paragraphs or staffs on music scores, sometimes without fully understanding what exactly those are. Possible outcomes: with a proper script language (Lua?), things like tables, multi-column text, and even a lot of crazy ideas could be really easy to write. Plug-ins results would be predictable, since they know nothing about the world except what the main engine has informed them. As far as I can judge, music typesetting has completely different rules than text typesetting. Sure. Ok, you would just use another plugin. But then the plugins need a way to interact: captions in graphics (like in MetaPost today), lyrics in music etc. That's the idea. I do believe it's possible. I myself wouldn't probably able to handle a MetaPost based system (or something similar) - even if I speak a bit of PostScript, I just don't think of graphics as formulae: Myself, I never touch my computer mouse :) I did read an answer from Donald Knuth on why he thinks Metafont never became a popular tool for font creation. His answer: you can't ask an artist to become enough of a mathematician in order to be able to design his font based on 60 variables. However, you need different parsers for different types of content A system like what I want should have a common language for all. I'm not smart enough to say which one. (I don't speak Lisp. I don't speak TeX-the-language or Lua as well. But the latter seems easy.) Yes, it is easy and powerfull. And it was created here in Brazil! (Proud smile) There is your unified system. XML rulez - for better or for worse. It's really no fun to write XML by hand. But, as you said, TeX and Lilypond have a similar syntax. I belive they could share some kind of common language. Perhaps you should try to help enhancing OpenOffice's typesetting? # Or Scribus? I really would like something we could program, and then change design variables at will. Thanks for your comments.

Re: [NTG-context] How could a typesetting system be today? (slightly off-topic, flame and nostalgic)
Do you mean like Scrivener on the Mac? I don’t know. I tried Context, then TeX, than went back to Context. Now also Metapost. Sorry for beeing biased, but I really like the programer approach to computers. What, in any case, constitutes a universal layout approach? Does one exist? (...) I don’t think we need something universal. But there is a lot of common guidelines for most things. For instance, text, music, chess boards and pictures all have to fit or fill their place in a page, and all can have a common main font to be used. Yet he (...) sees the value of maintaining a knowledge base that is predictable when it runs on a program that can pass the trip test. Actually, I’m trying to show my dad he can trust a computer to typeset his class notes, if we use the right tools (i.e., Context plus Metapost instead of what was used for his books in the 90’s, when just a small change would ruin everything). But I’ve just used ‘ϕ’ in a math formula for one of his papers and Context silently ignores it. I’m sure there's a good reason for that. But TeX is predictable when you write a default TeX style document. If you leave it, you have to understand a lot of hidden issues, and a dummy user like me will never know if all of them have been taken care of. Lose that for the sake of innovation, and you can lose real knowledge. And what shall we say for troff, which still possesses an arcane sort of longevity? Troff? I really miss the days of my old TK3000 text editor back in the 80’s. It's great to use 80% of your time thinking about what you want to write and 20% about typesetting. Today it's 4% writing, 2% typesetting and 94% looking over thousands of pages of wiki documentation. I still think Context is really great, but I’ll never try to do something that’s not done in a default installation again. Or try to understand why sometimes [n=x] works but [n = x] doesn’t. (...) you can be creating documents for all the world to see even if you are out in the bush with a generator and mosquito netting. I wrote my résume a few months ago, and sent it to a few companies, just to know a lot of time later that most of them could not open it, since it was a PDF revision 1.8 instead of 1.3 (or something like that). So TeX's stability has the interesting potential side effect of giving a voice to the voiceless. Our cast-off hardware becomes a window for freedom of speech and expression, (...) Sure. I would like to have something simpler than TeX, not more complex or hardware eater. There are places where people still go outside to relieve themselves, (...) Like myself :) Some folks think abstractly and can whack out macros like Paul Bunyan chops wood. Some think visually (...) I can only think abstractly. But TeX macros are a lot less abstract than they could be. I believe DEK says they were never supposed to be used the way they are. DEK (...) brought all his respect and research regarding longstanding, tried and true typographical traditions to his writing of TeX. Sure.

Re: [NTG-context] How could a typesetting system be today?
Thanks, Idris, for your interest. I don’t understand enough about typesetting and computer math to make an informed sugestion, but I’ll try my best. What about a Metapost-like main engine to define the general layout of pages? That engine would know about borders, floating spaces for pictures or text, and handle “global” information like main fonts or page numbers etc.; and even draw on the page. Plug-ins would render specific information. The main engine could also do Metapost-like operations on what comes from that rendering. That engine would call plug-ins to render anything, using a standard human-writable tag language. The engine will provide plug-ins a shape they should fill, as well as tips on how to fill it (“amount of ink”, how to deal with unconnected shapes, available fonts etc.); and share information with plug-ins so they can know, for instance, which symbols can be used for footnotes, and inform back which ones they have used. Plug-ins would respond rendered results, as well as indicators about how good is the result and what could be done to get it better (less or more to render, adjusts in their area shape etc.). Main engine and plug-ins would negociate good parameters, shapes and information set until they are both happy (enough). The reason for a standard tag language is that the main engine should be able to do some operations on data, like breaking it in pieces like words, paragraphs or staffs on music scores, sometimes without fully understanding what exactly those are.

Best, Maurício Hi Maurício, Sorry to insist, but I would be really interested in approaches that are not just great things we could add to TeX.

[NTG-context] Problem with Portuguese hyphenation
Hi, In Portuguese, the rule about hyphenating word that contain hyphens themselves is to preserve the hyphen in the next line.

[NTG-context] Unwanted information in PDF files
Hi, After generating a PDF from a .tex file, I changed the name of the resulting PDF to something else. But when I open that file in 'evince', it still shows the old file name. I opened that file in emacs in saw that I lot of info is stored in the PDF file: original file name, creation date, generated by Context etc. That can be a problem sometimes. For instance, someone wouldn't want to write a file like 'I_hate_my_job.tex' and then change the result to 'report_to_boss.pdf', just to see his manager opening the file and reading the first name. Or, in my situation, write a file with special Unicode characters and see evince show the file name as bogus characters. How can I instruct Context not to write anything inside the PDF file that I have not asked for?

Re: [NTG-context] TeX ligatures in XeTeX/LuaTeX: ``who needs them''?
Hello, just wondering: how many ConTeXt-ers depend on ligatures such as: '' (double quote) and '' (two single quotes) - right double quote `` - left double quote ,, - DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK (...) You got replies from experienced users, so I thought you could use an answer from a begginer; there are many of us out there! (...) actually, what is called ligatures here, are no ligatures in the real sense; they are tricks that use the tex ligature mechanism to achieve something (the fi ligature came out of f + i written in sequence but nobody in the past ever wrore, by pen, three -'s separated by a small space in a row, it's was just a longer rule) (...) I see. I also read somewhere that some font mechanisms (OpenType?) also handle what is called ligatures by themselves, is that true? What about math mode? I've not used it that much, does it also have such kind of 'pseudo-ligatures'? I read that what I use in my keyboard to type minus (-) is actually just ascii minus/hyphen, but in Unicode there's an actual minus symbol (U+2212). Does that needs special handling? The ligature trick could not be used here, I imagine.

I've just looked at three documents from
Hans ('mmlexamp.pdf', 'mmlprime.pdf',
'mmoexamp.pdf'), and they all show
nice examples of MathML and what you can
accomplish using it. However, I wasn't able
to find an example of how to actually insert
MathML in a Context document. I imagine it's
probably something like that:
\starttext

\startMathML
(...)
\stopMathML

\stoptext
Does anyone knows of an example on how to do
that properly?
