Re: [NTG-context] Is it possible to make xml.load a bit more 'verbose' when it encounters errors?
Gerben,Maybe this is of some use. The Lua code in the file checks the xml and returns info when something is wrong.I am using it for example in my takenotes module as:And this is a sketch of how it is embedded in that module: % Prerun an xml check. \doifinset{\xmlatt{#1}{checkxml}}{yes,on,true}% {\xmlcommand{#1}{.}{xmlcommon:checkxml}} % Execute this code if no error was found. etc.
dr. Hans van der Meer
\startluacode
-- Define our namespace as hvdm
hvdm = hvdm or {}
-- Function checks the correctness of an XML tree.
hvdm.checkXMLtree = function (xml, linesep)
local xml = xml and xml or ""
local linesep = linesep and linesep or "\n"
local badspace = {}
-- Empty files do not need processing.
if xml == "" then
return ""
end
-- Step one is remove leading characters before first node.
local leadingnode = string.find(xml, "<", 1) or 1
if leadingnode ~= 1 then
xml = string.sub(xml, leadingnode, -1)
end
-- Strip all comments but node pairs inside make it
complicated.
local c1, c2 = string.find(xml, "", c2 + 1, true)
if c3 then
-- Remove comment.
xml = string.sub(xml, 1, c1 - 1) .. string.sub(xml, c4
+ 1, -1)
-- Search for next comment.
c1, c2 = string.find(xml, "
[NTG-context] mtxrun exit code
I am producing a series of files in a shell script with mtxrun --autogenerate
--script context input
Doing exit mtxrun... shows there is no exit number to test in the shell, or to
ste a shell variable to that value.
I can set a global macro \ExitStatus to an exit value depending on success or
failure, pass that on to mtxrun as exit statusd and test that in the script.
For example:
\starttext
\xmlprocessbuffer{notes}{notes}{}
\doif{\ExitStatus}{notok}{"let mtxrun return value 1 as error in UNIX"}
\stoptext
After that it would be possible in the shell script to delete the pdf produced,
what is my intention in this case.
Is this an option or is there presently another (standard) procedure to
communicate from ConTeXt to the shell.

[NTG-context] errors in margindata?
I gues there are errors in \margindata. See the minimal example. The contextversion is fresh loaded just before this test.(1) \margindata{test} gives an error. The log message is: tex error > tex error on line 9 in file ./margindata.tex: ! Use of \typo_margins_data_yes doesn't match its definition
l.9 \margindata{
text1}% One has to use \margindata[]{test} to avoid the error.(2) \margindata[]{test} has spurious whitespace, \margindata[]{test}% must be used to avoid that.Below the minimal example and the output.

[NTG-context] problem since previous versions
A problem has arisen up since previous versions, where code without a problem
now raises an error.
This is the afflicted code:
% Assign values to \locationbox.
\doif{top}{\placexlocation}%
{\def\startlocationbox{\vtop\bgroup\vss}}%
\doif{center}{\placexlocation}%
{\def\startlocationbox{\vcenter\bgroup}}%
\doif{bottom}{\placexlocation}%
{\def\startlocationbox{\vbox\bgroup}}%
And it is used here:
\setbox\placexbox=\startlocationbox
\ignorespaces
Previously this worked without a hitch, now the error is:
tex error > tex error on line 9 in file ./familie-events.tex: ! A
was supposed to be here
\vcenter
\startlocationbox ->\vcenter
\bgroup
\dostartcontentplacexinline ...ables \par \setbox \placexbox =\startlocationbox
\ignorespaces
\syst_helpers_single_empty_one_nop
\xmlflush
\21>:xmlplc:placexcontent ...le=\xmlatt {#1}{alttitle}]}\startcontent \xmlflush
{#1}\stopcontent
l.9 }
I can try to make a minimal example, but not without the afflicted module of
some 800 lines. So perhaps the problem will be located by the experts at first
sight. It is of course the \vcenter playing havoc, because replacing it by
\vtop or \vbox makes the error disappear.
Thanks for looking into it, because my work more or less depends on this code
working in good order.

Re: [NTG-context] problem since previous versions
Wolfgang,
I did define the various variants in order to parametrize vtop, vbox and
vcenter through parameters top, bottom, center.
Happily there proved to be a remedy: place everything inside an \hbox and the
error goes away. Without problematic whitespace or other nasty side effects, it
seems. But, although the panic is over now :-), I am still curious to know why
it worked before and raises an error now.
as for the definition of \placexlocation, it comes from:
\def\setupplacex{\getparameters[placex]}
\setupplacex[% default parameters
...
location=center,%
...
]%
and I checked that it had the value: center.
But if you are interested, I can send you the module code.

[NTG-context] loading xml error
Please can someone explain the following error and why the one specific XML
input fails?
It turns out that a single node is not accepted by the core whereas
others are ok.
This is the error message in the log, first line from my debug statement:
HVDM-VOC> load vocabulary from buffer "german"
xml > core > load error in [buffer: german]: invalid xml file -
parsed text
Minimal code to explain what is done:
% Loading from buffer.
\def\loadvocabularyfrombuffer#1{%
\writestatus{HVDM-VOC}{load vocabulary from buffer "#1"}%
\XMLProcessBuffer{#1}%
% simply does an \xmlprocessbuffer{}{}{}
}
The following buffer gives the error:
\startbuffer[german]
\stopbuffer
\loadvocabularyfrombuffer{german}
But the others below are ok and load as expected.
\startbuffer[german]
\stopbuffer
and
\startbuffer[german]

[NTG-context] how to with \margindata
Using the following:
\margindata{some macro expansions}
I know that \margindata is typeset at a later moment than its place in the code
suggests. The problem is that macro expansions inside the {}'s are expanded
twice. This interferes badly with the things I want to happen.
Tracing what happens, I conclude that the result of the first expansion is lost
and is not carried into the actual placement of the marginnote.

Re: [NTG-context] Unwanted whitespace at beginning of document
Of old I have found the wolf fence tactics useful: Put for example an X at the beginning of a suspected section and somewhat further a Y. OIf they bracket the culprit the offending space will be between them. Otherwise narrow the fence. dr.

[NTG-context] no leavevmode
Why is there not implemented in \subsection a \leavevmode at the end of it?
Here a minimal example showing that starting with the first word in an \hbox
encounters vertical mode. Thus requiring a \leavevmode to put it on line with
the following text. Whereas not starting with an \hbox does an implicite switch
to horizontal mode.
I can imagine that this behaviour could be confusing for users not well versed
in the different behaviour of the horizontal and vertical modes.
Therefore my question: Wouldn't it be wise to implement that \leavevmode?

[NTG-context] Bug in Luatex file handling?
This I cannot explain. Opening a file directly from its full name in a string

I suspect there is something not ok in LuaTeX.

Open file in directory 1 and 2 levels deep - direct call succeeds

..io.open("events/transcripten/hga-0372-345-62.xml","r")=>file

Idem but now from parameter filename transferred from ConTeXt into Lua:
Open file one level deeper succeeds (printed filename comes from the call):

Open file two levels deeper fails:

Caller:
\def\FileExist#1{\cldcontext{hvdm.existfile([===[#1]===])}}
Lua code:
hvdm.existfile = function (filename)

[NTG-context] languages
Here is something I think that should be added to the documentation. In the ConTeXt garden (page Command/mainlanguage) the description is: mainlanguage Set the language of auto-generated language elements, like the title of the table of contents or the appendix. On the Command/language page: Change the hyphenation rules, quotation marks, all that sort of thing, to that of a different language. (The default language is English.) Testing showed that \mainlanguage sets both \currentlanguage and \currentmainlanguage to the same value, while \language sets \currentlanguage only. My suggestion is to add info to this behaviour to the mainlanguage page, reflecting the fact that \mainlanguage does set both \currentlanguage and \currentmainlanguage.Which is not apparent from the current documentation. Another solution would be to separate \language and \mainlanguage completely. An option I would prefer for clarity, because now the order of calling \language and \mainlanguage makes a difference. dr.

[NTG-context] date formatting
From Wikipedia:
In English-language
outside North America (mostly in Anglophone Europe and some countries in
Australasia), full dates are written as 7 December 1941 (or 7th December 1941)
and spoken as "the seventh of December, nineteen forty-one" (exceedingly common
usage of "the" and "of"), with the occasional [my emphasis] usage of December
7, 1941 ("December the seventh, nineteen forty-one"). In common with most
continental European usage, however, all-numeric dates are invariably ordered
dd/mm/.
From this I infer that \language[en] or \language[en-gb] should format dates
normally in day-month-year order, reserving mont-day-year for \language[us]
i.e. language[en-us].
But in ConTeXt both \language[en] and \language[en-gb] produce the us ordering
for \currentdate. I would be pleased if ConTeXt could be changed to the above
mentioned normal behaviour for english. That is [en] and [en-gb] produce the
day-month-year order and that [us] and [en-us] month-day-year.

[NTG-context] filepath on format generation
I migrated my texlive2007 tree to a new disk and now I encounter
permission difficulties on context format generation. Calling the
bashrc alias:
alias formats='texmfstart texexec --make en; texmfstart texexec --make
--alone metafun
After the normal (error) messages about ls-R updating I get a
permission error:
TeXExec | using search method 'kpsewhich'
TeXExec | updating file database
mktexlsr: Updating /Users/hans/Tex/texmf-private/ls-R...
mktexlsr: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf: directory not writable.
Skipping...
mktexlsr: Done.
TeXExec | using tex engine pdftex
TeXExec | using tex format path ./pdftex
TeXExec | unable to make format due to lack of permissions
and on calling the following alias:
alias texversion='texmfstart texexec.pl --version; rm mpgraph.mp
texvers-mpgraph.mp'
I get:
fmtutil: format directory `/web2c' does not exist.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt
fmtutil: format directory `/web2c' does not exist.
In my .bashrc I have:
# TeX variables
CONTEXT_RUBY=/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby
TEX_HOME=/usr/local/texlive/2007
TEXMFCACHE=/Users/hans/Temp

TEXFORMATS=/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/web2c
nor did work:
TEXFORMATS=/Users/hans/.texlive2007/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex
The idea is to have the formats locally under .texlive2007 in my home
directory.
Can someone enlighten me where the base of respectively ./pdftex and /
web2c is supposed to be? I thought I did set my environment variables
just as I did previously, when it worked. Why suddenly these
apparently incomplete paths? I MUST have some pathvariable WRONG, but
which one is it?

Re: [NTG-context] no ctx file found
Thanks, Hans.
Apparently that is the trick. After using find to locate all
cont*.fmt's and removing them, luatools generated one in its cache
directory that proved to be sufficient. Must indeed be a path variable
problem (TeX now has so many of them, I never seem to get them sorted
out; not to mention the interplay between those in .cnf files and
those in my .bashrc that drives me mad).

[NTG-context] luatex not compiling
There appears to be a problem with the compilation of luatex on MacOSX 10.5.x, but I might have found (at least one of) the cause. On my system (MacOSX10.5.1) complation halted with: luatexextra.c:408 error: storage size of 'sigstk' isn't known. Further exploring showed the cause of this: SIGSTKSZ is not defined. As it turns out SIGSTKSZ is defined in signal.h and in luatexextra.c read with #include , assuming signal.h resides in /usr/include/signal.h. That however, is not the case on this version of MacOSX: it sits in / usr/include/sys/signal.h. Probably changing the code into: #include #ifndef _SIGNAL_H_ #include #endif might help, but I have not tested this (some of the pie should be left for Taco c.s. ;-) Hans van der Meer ___ 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 ___
Re: [NTG-context] luatex not compiling
I looked somewhat further and found out the curious fact that on MacOSX 10.5.x both /usr/include/signal.h and /usr/include/sys/signal.h exist! The first one does not include the second one, neither does one of the includes: #ifndef _USER_SIGNAL_H #define _USER_SIGNAL_H #include #include <_types.h> As for changing the discussion to the luatex developer list as suggested by some: my capacity for subscribing list is limited -- capacity in the sense of what I can manage. Putting my observations on the compiler problem with luatex on this list was purely to help others. I hope one will permit me to keep doing so.

[NTG-context] Luatex installation
I have read the instructions for installing luatex on MacOSX so clearly spelt out by Thomas Schmitz, but they leave a question open. Thomas advises to set TEXMFCACHE=/tmp with the argument that it then is cleared each time the computer is restarted. What is unclear to me if this means that on each restart some explicit reinitialzation has to be done or are the data in TEXMFCACHE suitable candidates for thrashing at all times?

[NTG-context] Permission Policy
I ran into trouble with "luatools --generate" which does not seem to work with "sudo luatools --generate" The seem applies to texmfstart and friends. Why this manco? I want to keep my system as safe as possible especially regarding applications and stuff that takes a lot of time installing (like the texlive system). Therefore I have this in an administrator account (root:wheel). Cannot ConTeXt cope with such a scheme? All it has to do is honor sudo, apparently.

Re: [NTG-context] Context Minimal Linux installation on MAC Leopard
As far as I could ascertain the compiling problems on MAcOSX 10.5.x (Leopard) go away when in the CFLAGS is included an architecture parameter, e.g. -arch ppc -arch i386 or more specific mcpu=G5 etc. It seems otherwise the correct ANSI_C header files are not found by the gcc compiler.

The way \relax stops the error reminds me of the \relax that one
places after a number in order to separate that from the code following.
I did compare core-des.tex, both the last version and the archived
from 2007-04-17. But I must admit, I did not succeed finding a clue
among the differences about what could have happened. The code is a
bit too intricate to just jump in and pinpoint the culprit -- at least
for me.
Allthough Wolfgang's workaround saves the day, I feel this problem
deserves solving inside ConTeXt, not outside it. Someday somewhere
another person will stumble on the same problem -- a situation that
can and should be avoided, in my view.
Therefore I explain the problem here as fully as possible hoping
someone knowledgeable with descriptions <> will find the best remedy.

Re: [NTG-context] description fails on \if
Wolfgang,
From your observation I am inclined to guess that the \ifx falls prey
to the collection of arguments. The \relax can be replaced by an extra
pair {} behind the description: \answerblock{}{}% also typesets
without the if-error.
I more or less conclude that the lookahead from \dodoublegroupempty
does not stop on the \if. If I remember correctly, that behaviour is
to be expected from tex and the prospects for solving it generically
within the format bleak. If Hans Hagen is listening, can he comment on
this?

[NTG-context] bug in modes
The following works mirabile dictu:
\enablemode[b,c]

\type{\startallmodes[b,c]} done
\stopallmodes
\startnotallmodes[c]

But the following gives an error:
\enablemode[b,c]

\stopallmodes
\startnotallmodes[c]

\type {\startallmodes [b,c]} not done \stopnotallmodes \blank \par
\stoptext

I guess the pairing of \startnotallmodes with \stopnotallmodes is at
fault.
In core-var.tex 234-235 I see:
\long\def\dostartnotallmodes[#1]%
{\docheckforallmodes\dostopallmodes\donothing{#1}}
should be:

[NTG-context] luatools --ini plain
This is something I don't understand. In the mk.pdf manual on luatex on page 21 there is the following example: luatools --ini plain Instead of the expected output 120,808 plain.fmt etc. I get an error: "There is no lua initialization file found. ..." Running "luatools --generate" does not help. There is a hint: "This file can be forced by the --progname directve, or specified with --luaname,..."

Re: [NTG-context] Unable to generate luatex formats
Same thing here. "luatools luat-env.lua" gives an empty line. After
"luatools --generate" again the same.
And I have TEXMFCNF and TEXMF defined in .bashrc
TEXMFCNF="/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c"
TEXMF="{/Users/hans/TeX/texmf-private,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-

least for \startsimplecolumns .. \stopsimplecolumns there seems to be
hope. See the example below, the last framedtext has two columns

[NTG-context] mtxrun
Following the article "The luafication of TeX and Context" in the recent issue of the NTG-MAPS I tried the example given: mtxrun --script fonts and this should return the options list for this script. However, I get: 101 ~: mtxrun --script fonts cannot open : No such file or directory While otherwise a bare mtxrun returns info and thus was found as a runnable script: 102 ~: mtxrun MtxRun | version 1.0.2 - 2007+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT MtxRun | --script run an mtx script In my .bashrc I had the lua scripts in the path: 103 ~: echo $PATH ..:/usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/:..

So, try with the > LUAINPUTS variable, or try mtxrun --selfupdate. That is strange. I have the context distribution from 2008-05-21 and in it mtxrun.lua has the line: banner = "version 1.0.2 - 2007+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT". Is version 1.1.0 in an experimental version? (I keep away from beta versions, fearing something will break at the wrong moment -- surely one of Murphy's law will take over at a time when one cannot afford it ;-) I did 'mtxrun --selfupdate', as Hans Hagen suggested, but no change. Also I have a path variable LUAINPUTS to no avail: 103 ~: echo $LUAINPUTS /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua Running 'luatools --generate' makes no difference. Taco Hoekwater suggested the culprit might be msdos line-endings, but I don't have these. Could it be the directory structure in my setup? /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/powerpc-darwin/mtxrun (symlink with 'ln -s') /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-*.lua So, I am still stuck with "cannot open : No such file or directory." on calling 'mtxrun --script fonts' etc. The most strange of all is that 'mtxrun --script cache' and all the others do give me the list op options on the cache script. (mtx- web.lua being absent in the distribution). So only script fonts seems to have something wrong.

[NTG-context] typesetting ruin
A year ago I had my presentation sheets typeset with ConTeXt.
Now, USING MY SAME SOURCES, with ConTeXt ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21
15:21 MKII fmt: 2008.7.5 the severely clipped picture below results.
I did the setup with
\usemodule[pre-general]
% followed by:
\setuppapersize [S6][S6]
\setuplayout
[backspace=1cm,
topspace=1cm,
margin=0pt,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt,
bottomdistance=.875cm,
bottom=1cm,
width=fit,
height=fit]
\starttext
\TitlePage{\vfill\vfill\bf Contents of page}
\stoptext
\endinput
What the could have happened here to cause this apparent clipping?
It does not seem to be in the MPgraphic's used for background etc,
because commenting these out does not change the odd dimensions.
Any idea?

Re: [NTG-context] typesetting ruin
Hans, No need to run it yourself. It has to do with the interpretation/ assignements of the 'fit' options in: \setupinteractionscreen [option=max, width=fit, height=fit] Replacing 'fit' by an explicit height seems to repair it. But I have no idea why the behaviour of 'fit' suddenly changed. \setupinteractionscreen [option=max, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] On 24 sep 2008, at 09:29, Hans Hagen wrote: > Hans van der Meer wrote: >> A year ago I had my presentation sheets typeset with ConTeXt. >> Now, USING MY SAME SOURCES, with ConTeXt ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 >> 15:21 >> MKII fmt: 2008.7.5 the severely clipped picture below results.

If you are also working on MacOSX(10.5.x) then I should expect the problem to be platform specific. I had some discussions with Taco Hoekwater about this problem, but we never solved it and I have no inkling of its cause. Since I am not well enough acquainted with the code behind mplib and friends, I had to fall back on using MKII and putting MKIV aside. But I guess the solution to this problem is pressing, since we cannot have one platform falling out on ConTeXt.

Re: [NTG-context] mplib errors
Hi Taco, I did "kpsewhich mp-tool.mp" and it came up with "/usr/local/texlive/ 2007/texmf-context/metapost/context/base/mp-tool.mp". That file has in my system creation+modification date "01-04-08 02:14" and was last opened "03-07-08" so this must be it. Came straight from unpacking the context distribution zip. This should have been cont-tmf.zip created "05-08-08 17:13". The other mp-tool.mp in my system is /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf- dist/metapost/context/base/mp-tool.mp. I also checked this one and found it has creation+modification date "06-02-08 12:52" and was last opened "06-02-08 12:52". So this one was apparently never used by me after installing texlive2007. I think this proves the file in my case is indeed the "01-04-08 02:14" one.

[NTG-context] presentation styles empty front page
I have a problem with the presentation styles s-pre-xx. Since I used them previously (about 2-3 years ago) now an EXTRA blank page appears up at the front of the series of sheets. I am positive this did not occur in the past, since I did not change my files. Because I tried some different presentation styles and they all show the extra page, my suspicion is that it could originate somewhere in s-pre-00 (pre-general). However, I cannot find something suspicious in that file. What has happened? dr. H. van der Meer ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] extra page in presentation styles
Context presentation style problem:
I didn't use the (green-)presentation style for quite some time.
Now I suddenly get an EXTRA PAGE before the first \TitlePage.
See below for a minimal example and the output produced.
Does somebody happen to what is wrong or where I am wrong?
By the way, the upgrade of 27-10-2005 context did not change this.
I do not include the pdf-output, because it makes this posting too
big to post without special moderator approval.
But in my system it gives a blank first page and then the TitlePage
as sheet numbered 2.
Thanks.

Re: [NTG-context] extra page in presentation styles
Both of you thanks for taking the trouble to run the example. Because of your results I became convinced the problem was lurking somewhere in my part of the ConTeXt installation. That enabled me the quickly locate the culprit: a spurious comma introduced (by me of course, stupido) in cont-sys.tex (cont-sys.rme). A pity this comma did not show up in the output; it makes your help the more valuable. I am posting this message to the list, so that everyone who read my previous posting will be aware of the fact that it was no problem of ConTeXt.

What has happened to my fonts?
Has it something to do with the fact that tetex and context seem to
use directories .texmf-config and .texmf-var differently?
Why does something that ran without a hitch suddenly is broken?
Does someone know how to restore things to normal?

I used to work with the TeX i-Package install. But every once in a while tex has to be updated.

(updmap.cfg contains URWkb for the LW35 fonts)
then it starts asking for (non-existing) maps like:
Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map
file
that is when you use texfont generated metrics
texfont --encoding=ec --batch type-tfm.dat
will generate those metrics (which are the ones i use)
Do I now understand correctly that I MUST use texfont first in order
to work with fonts in ConTeXt? I did not realize that when going over
to the new tetex setup. I guess the typescripts for the lm/cmr fonts
are ready-made in the context distribution?
Is there somewhere a script to do this (somewhat painless) for the
"regular" fonts in the teTeX distribution or should I generate just
by hand for whatever font I need?
(2) about math typesetting
Although computer modern (lm fonts) now appear in text, there is
something strange with math. Running the next example coming from the
ConTeXt manual (page 103):
\starttext
{$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c\ \hbox{whatever} + \sin(2x)$} math\crlf
{$\bf \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c\ \hbox{whatever} + \sin(2x)$} boldmath BUT
`sin' ISN'T, sqrt NEVER IS \crlf
{$\bf\mf \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c\ \hbox{whatever} + \sin(2x)$} boldmath
NOW `sin' IS, sqrt NEVER IS \crlf
\stoptext
The second line doesn't show the "sin" in bold as contrasted with the
special remark in the manual. I does show in bold with \mf however.
Has the math behaviour changed meanwhile? Or does it point to still
another flaw in my setup?
The following fonts appear in the pdf (as seen in Adobe Reader):
CMMI12, CMSY10, LMRoman12-Bold (and 9), LMRoman12-Regular (and 9).
in comparison, the following LaTeX example has the right behaviour:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
{$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c$} math\hfill\break
{\boldmath$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \sin{}x$} boldmath\par
\end{document}

[NTG-context] Re: bold math not mathitalic
I am trying to define bold math myself, but encounter a problem with the typescripts.Further probing into this matter (previous mail, see below) shows that the typescript delineated by 's is NOT USED AT ALL! (Calling \setupformulas[method=bold] makes no difference). It therefore does not seem a problem in the math family assignments in font-bfm.tex, as I first suspected.Is there some special invocation needed for hooking up a user defined font set into $\bfmath ...$?If have looked into font-bfm.tex and font-ini.tex but could not figure it out.Clearly I am misunderstanding the inner workings here, but I have no clue in which direction to look. I am using the follwing (extracted) typescript lines for math in the lucida fonts:\starttypescript [luc] \definetypeface [luc][mm][math][lucidayy][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [luc][mm][bfmath][lucidayy][default][encoding=texnansi]\stoptypescript\starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [default] \definebodyfont [default] [mm] [mr=MathRoman mo 1, mi=MathItalic mo 1, ]\stoptypescript**\starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [default] \definebodyfont [default] [mm] [mrbf=MathRomanBold mo 1, mibf=MathItalicBold mo 1, ]\stoptypescript**\starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [LucidaBright] \definefontsynonym [MathItalic] [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic]\stoptypescript\starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [hlhr8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic] [hlcrima]\stoptypescript\starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathRomanBold] [LucidaBright-Demi] \definefontsynonym [MathItalicBold] [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic]\stoptypescript\starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright-Demi] [hlhb8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic] [hlcdima]\stoptypescriptTypesetting:\starttext\usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue{$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf\stoptext Gives me for the variables neatly LucidaNewMath-AltItalic.*** Changing the fonts in the above typescript does work ***But typesetting\starttext\usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue{$\bfmath\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf\stoptextGives me LucidaBright-Demi instead of LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic.Everything else however (even the blackletters from ma) are in the correct bold math font.The font must be present, because substituting MathItalicBold for MathItalic in the [math] script proves that.*** But not coming from my typescript I conclude from several experiments ***Hans van der Meer ___

[NTG-context] (no subject)
In the top of file type-pre.tex it can be read: %D This file is obsolete. We now have latin modern and proper %D typescripts. Forget about this file. However, tracing execution of \startformula[bold] shows it is still read then, whereas on \startformula (without the bold) it is not. Isn't this an anomaly? Just curious (I hope curiosity is permitted in this group). Hans van der Meer ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] type-pre.tex
Addition to my previous message re this subject: In the top of file type-pre.tex it can be read: %D This file is obsolete. We now have latin modern and proper %D typescripts. Forget about this file. However, tracing execution of \startformula[bold] shows it is still read then, whereas on \startformula (without the bold) it is not. Isn't this an anomaly? Just curious (I hope curiosity is permitted in this group). One more observation. The trace shows an underfull hbox inserted at the start of this file \readfilename ->type-pre (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/type-pre.tex Underfull \hbox (badness 1) in paragraph at lines 21--13 \hbox(0.0+0.0)x426.78743 .\glue(\rightskip) 0.0 ) disappearing when a put \endinput right at the start of the file. I hope this hbox doesn't play havoc with formatting? Hans van der Meer ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] missing fontsynonym?
In file type-enc.tex I came across the fontsynonym \definefontsynonym [ComputerModernSans-Italic] [LMSans- Italic] However there is no further definition for LMSans-Italic. In contrast to for example LMRoman-Italic. Could this be a typo or a missing definition? Fontdefinitions like \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [modern] [default] [ec] fail because of this.
