Okay, so I got really upset with teTeX so I decided to get rid of it. Earlier
I said that I was using Fedora Core 2. Now I am sitting on a SuSE 8.0 Pro
machine. I did the following:
1) Uninstalled whatever TeX came with SuSE
2) Downloaded and installed from texlive2003-inst-20030928.iso
3) I chose not to install latex. Just context and pdftex alongwith whatever
texlive said about anything being essential files
4) Next I wiped off whatever ConTeXt came with texlive and followed
instructions on this page:
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html
to install the latest ConTeXt from pragma website.
5) Then I found that adobekb.tex was still NOT installed on my system---yes
the latest ConTeXt from pragma-ade still does not have adobekb.tex. But as
Hans suggested, I do have the file type-akb.tex. As Patrick suggested, I
downloaded and installed adobekb.tex in the TeX tree.
6) So after all this, I try both type-akb and adobekb and the palatino font
still refuses to cooperate.
Here are the errors that I am getting:

Re: [NTG-context] Re: How to use PostScript font
I found out that while trying to install the latest ConTeXt over whatever came
with texlive2003-inst-20030928.iso, I screwed up somewhere and ConTeXt would
not even generate me a pdf file with cmr fonts.
So here is what I did.
1) I deleted everything about TeX from my system
2) Installed TeXLive from the iso with default options. I did not change
anything. Just accepted the defaults.
3) I did not install the latest ConTeXt. I think I will be fine with whatever
comes with TeXLive as of Sept, 2003.
4) Now I can generate a hello world pdf file with cmr fonts just fine.
5) Yes, I do have the type-akb.tex on my system.
6) On the following:
\usetypescriptfile[type-akb]
\usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

Re: [NTG-context] Re: How to use PostScript font (SOLVED)
Okay. Problem solved. The thing is that I did not ask the texlive
distribution to install the extra fonts package. The palatino fonts were
part of the extra fonts.
Now I have another question. It seems like \setupbodyfont[palatino] produces
different results than \setupbodyfont[ppl].
The former tries to use palatino in all the variations in the following
example. The palatino fonts seems to be missing the serif variant, so the
\ss and the normal lines look the same---i.e ConTeXt decided to use the same
roman variant for both the \rm and the \ss line. Even the equation uses some
sort of postscript font that I am not familiar with.
The latter---\setupbodyfont[ppl]---is not very forceful---it uses palatino in
the \rm, \em, and \sl lines. Everywhere else the CMR font is used.
What causes this behavior?

[NTG-context] Custom Numbering Problem
Two problems:
1) With the following:
\setuphead[section][ownnumber=yes]
\setupbodyfont[cmr,12pt]
\starttext
\completecontent
\section{1a0101}{Objective}
There is no objective at this moment.
\stoptext
There is no spacing between the text 1a0101 and Objective in the table of
contents---this looks really ugly.
However, what I really want is the ownnumber to apply to \title, not a
\section. So if I do this:
\setuphead[title][ownnumber=yes]
\setupbodyfont[cmr,12pt]
\starttext
\completecontent
\title{1a0101}{Minimum Radius Turn}
\section{Objective}
There is no objective at this moment.
\stoptext
Then the number 1a0101 does not appear right next to a title. (I only see
Minimum Radius Turn as opposed to the expected 1a0101 Minimum Radius
Turn. Also my \section{Objective} has numbering. I thought numbering was
turned off by default on \title \section \subsection etc.

[NTG-context] PDFTeX sources
1) I want to know the simplest way (and the minimal way) to compile PDFTeX on Windows. From the manual, I see that you have to download web-7.3.tar.gz web2c-7.3.tar.gz pdftex.tar.gz However, this assumes that you have ./configure available (means UNIX or Cygwin). While I have been using Linux for the past two years, I'm afraid, I am too incompetent, dumb, lazy, stupid, and stubborn to learn autoconf and autotools---I want to know exactly what steps are performed while compiling the program and it would be best understood if I had a simple Visual C++ project file to work with. I want to be able to compile pdfTeX from sources using an already available DSP (MS Visual C++ project file)---this means it should somehow use an already existing config.h file. I downloaded the MikTeX sources, but it comes with 65535 other files and directories that I do not need and also mandates the download of Cygwin. 2) Basically, I want to learn a little about the internals of pdfTeX to investigate if I can take the PDF specific C source code out of it and somehow use then in the TeX++ project (which is a reincarnation of CommonTeX, which was an implementation of TeX written in C from scratch by Pat Monardo). I must admit that TeX++ is a piece of cake to install and compile simply because there is no autoconf and autotools to convolute the project. I have been reading TeX, the program these days from cover to cover and comparing the source code to the TeX++ sources and the two are as close as it can get. So I suppose, one could take PDFTeX, strip it out of the web2c files, massage the rest to fit TeX++, and have an easy to compile, and extend version of TeX that produces PDF files directly. Any inputs on this matter? Salman ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] How to read syntax descriptions
In the beginner's manual, we have for \startitemize the following: \startitemize[..,..,..][..,..=..,..] ... \stopitemize I was wondering how do you read this in english? Based on the examples, am I correct to say the following? 1) The \startitemize is optionally followed by a comma separated list of parameters enclosed in brackets. 2) Then a set of key-value pairs enclosed in brackets follows. Again this is optional. If this is correct, then what about \setupitemize?. It says \setupitemize[.1.][..,.2.,..][..,..=..,..] So again let me guess .1. stands for a number The third set could be key-value pairs What about the set in the middle? Can we have an explanation for these please. Salman ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
