[NTG-context] t-tikz: problem with colorspace pgfprgb
Hi, I have the following problem with TikZ: When I use the patterns library in a tikzpicture environment, the file is compiled without problems and creates a PDF file. However, Acrobat displays an error message Could not find the ColorSpace named 'pgfprgb'. So the patterns library seems to be a sufficient condition for this problem to occur. By contrast, the problem does not occur when I use pdflatex to create PDF from a LaTeX file with the same tikz-code. I have a standalone ConTeXt distribution and tikz 2.00, but I already had this problem with tikz 1.18. Any suggestions?

What does context need to find the font?
mtxrun --script font --reload

I created the table as suggested above and in the file names.tma appears a
line line like:
[caliban]={ ttf, Caliban, Caliban.ttf, false },
I thought one might use
\font\test=caliban at 12pt
but this fails:
Font \test=caliban at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad.
weird, smells like a bug (i need to look into it)

It is not always easier to write a conversion from XML to TeX, I have a module with delimited arguments and it was easy to transform the XMl code to TeX but this is very difficult for me to do this with MkIV code. The old conversion methos requires for simple commands also less lines than the new method. The real advandtage for me is to avoid dozen of \defineXMLsave commands with the new XML setups and option to access data from the tree without the need to save the whole file in TeX macros (\saveXMLdatainelement).

Re: [NTG-context] Using Postscript Type 1 fonts in ConTeXt/XeTeX?
Le 1 mars 08 à 13:19, Roland a écrit : Seems we never posted the conclusion about this problem: XeTeX simply doesn't work with the old Mac Type 1 Postscript fonts on Mac OS X (Leopard or before). The reason is that these old fonts store their data in the resource fork, which Unix utilities like XeTeX don't see. Only TrueType or OpenType fonts will be recognised and loaded correctly. PCs don't have the data fork so old Type 1 Postscript fonts for PCs (with .pfb extension) seem to work. Just copying these to the Mac is no solution, however, because Mac OS X does not support PC-style Type 1 fonts (only the Mac ones with the data in the resource fork), and therefore XeTeX will not find these fonts. Therefore the preferred solution is to use fonts of TrueType or OpenType varieties. For those with access to a font conversion program like fondu (?) fontforge (?) or fontlab (?) it may be possible to convert the old Type 1 font to TrueType or OpenType, reinstall it and have XeTeX work with it in that way. There is a command line utility called fondu to convert fonts between mac format and various other ones. It is available as an i-installer package, and somewhere else... ___ 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 ___
