[NTG-context] \loadfontfileoncetrue?

2003-12-15 Thread David Arnold
Hmmm,...

I haven't tried included graphics for a while, so I downloaded the new beta
into my Miktex system, regenerated formats, and attempted to compile the
code below. I got the following error:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \global \loadfontfileoncetrue
 %
! You can't use a prefix with `\shipout'.

   \shipout
l.2 \shipout
\hbox{\smash{\hbox{\hbox{% line 226 C:\temp\junk-mpgraph.mp
[1] )
(see the transcript file for additional information)

I have write18 enabled in miktex.ini, and adjusted cont-sys.tex:

% Enabling run time \METAPOST\ (also enable \write18 in 
% texmf.cnf):

\runMPgraphicstrue 
\runMPTEXgraphicstrue

% This saves some runtime, but needs a format, which you can
% make with 'texexec --make --alone metafun'. Make sure that 
% the mem files are moved to the used web2c path (locate with 
% 'kpsewhich plain.mem').

\useMETAFUNformattrue

% Enabling nested pretty printing:

\newprettytrue 

% This can be a way to get things working on system with 
% name clashes. (Some \TeX's tend do search system wide.)

\protectbufferstrue

Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

[NTG-context] page setup

2003-12-15 Thread Hans van der Meer
I am trying to typeset 2 A5 pages onto 1 A4 page in landscape format,  
side by side. Thus typesetting the pages two at a time on one piece of  
paper, in their natural order, seeing them as a spread.
Something like
xxx
xx   x
x 1 x 2x   going on for 3, 4, etc.
xx   x
xxx

I do not seem to get that job done. The context code I tried:
\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuplayout[location=doublesided,marking=on,grid=yes,header=0mm,margin= 
12mm]
\setuppagenumbering[location=footer,location=margin,alternative=doublesi 
ded]
\setuparranging[2*1] % or [doublesided] or [mirrored]

The \setuparranging (in the above variations) sends TeX into an  
infinite loop.
Of course [2*2] will not work, it gives booklets of 4 pages instead of  
2.
Maybe it can be done without the \setuparranging, but I could not find  
out how.

The context version I use is: ConTeXt  ver: 2003.12.12  fmt: 2003.12.13  
 int: english  mes: english

I would appreciate some help very much.

Hi Hans,

Sorry for the stupid question, but where can the mentioned line best be 
included?

Can it be in the core-ntb at a specific place or should it be placed in 
cont-new?

Kind regards Willi

When I try to do the above, ConTeXt looks for a font "aicmti10". What
is going on here? Something misconfigured?
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (Web2C 7.5.2)
 \write18 enabled.
 %&-line parsing enabled.
 (/opt/texlive/8/texmf/web2c/cp8bit.tcx)
entering extended mode
(./texexec.tex{/opt/local/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg}
this is a side effect of the big map file approach: if pdftex locates a 
file in that map file then it also assumes that it is present (based on the 
"Name"); (recent versions of texexec have --nomap as a way out); it's also 
one of the reasons for me loading map files on demand and omit "Names" in 
those files; next versions of pdftex will have more map manipulating 
features built in

[NTG-context] MP figures in the background

2003-12-15 Thread Zunbeltz Izaola

Hi,

I'm doing a christmars card in ConTeXt!. I've the following setup

\setuppapersize[CD][A4]
\setuplayout[marking=on,location=middle]

\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}
...
...
\stopuseMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[backfigure][\useMPgraphic{dummy}]
\setupbackground[paper][background=backfigure]
\hbox{}
\stoptext

I need the \hbox{} because there has to be something to typeset. The next
thing i want to do is to have a second page. I use the \page[yes] command.
The problem is that with this the background apears to in the second page,
and i don't want that. How can i define a background figure only for
certain page?

Thanks in advance,

Zunbeltz
