Re: [NTG-context] pdf[e]tex formats (solution)
> maybe adding > >-progname=pdftex > > helps; otherwise make a pro.cfg file Agh! I've just got a solution for non-standard pdftex format usage. Simple, but not obvious answer is that non-standard format needs non-standard entries in texmf.cnf. After adding entry TEXINPUTS.pro [set of paths] for pro.fmt format, everything works allright. I thought that if there isn't 'TEXINPUTS.format_name' variable specified, the default TEXINPUTS variable content will be used instead... -- bye, Pawe/l ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

After generating pro.fmt it still complains during compilation about missing pdftex.cfg file. Everything works ok when I copy pdftex.cfg into working directory, so what pdftex says looks to be true. But why not-standard format needs config file in local directory? Meybe I should add some entry to texmf.cnf... Anyone knows?

Ok, now I finally figured out what went wrong in my real document:
I had first \placebookmarks and then \setupinteraction. It has to be the
other way round!
Thanks a lot for the hint!

I agree that it is counter-intuitive that one needs to have
\setupinteraction in order to get bookmarks placed. But that the order
matters is even worse.
(Playing around with Acrobat 6, I saw that using /C [colorvalues] and /F n,
n=1...5, one could even have the bookmark items in color or in
italic/bold/..., if one wants to play ...)
I tested the accented characters again (not including bookmarks):
\setupinteraction[state=start,title={F\"ur / Na\"\i ve}]
\placebookmarks[chapter]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]
\starttext
\chapter{F\"ur / Na\"\i ve}
\stoptext
I expect 'Für / Naïve' but I get
a) in the bookmarks:
'Für / Nadobuildtextaccebt char 127 {char "10}ve'
b) in the document info dialogue:
'Fdobuildtextaccent char 127 ur / Nadobuildtextaccebt char 127 {char "10}ve'
If I replace {\"\i} by \idiaeresis, nothing changes for \chapter and
bookmarks, but I get an error message for 'title='. Puzzled.

Tobias,
Add:
\setupinteraction[state=start]
...works for me. I kept tripping on that one, and I'm not sure I'd agree
with the choice made.
Also, you might like to add this at the same time, to make the bookmarks
visible by default:
\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]

Re: [NTG-context] \loadfontfileoncetrue?
Hans,
I did as you asked below, but still got this error:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \global \loadfontfileoncetrue

! You can't use a prefix with `\shipout'.
\shipout
l.2 \shipout

(see the transcript file for additional information)
However, I did get the correct pdf file. You hint at mixing "old" with
"new" in your post below. Tomorrow I will try to erase all Context files,
extract the new ones, and try again.
Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: [NTG-context] MP figures in the background
Hi Hans!
I'm in trouble with this method. (I supose the error is mine).
I can draw the MP graphic using \useMPgraphic, but when i use
\defineoverlay[bihotzak][\useMPgraphic{bihotz}]
\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=bihotzak]
I get the following error
systems: randomizer starts with 150693575
[MP to PDF] (./mpgraph.1)
layout : calculating backgrounds
[MP to PDF] (./mpgraph.4000
! Dimension too large.
\handleMPboundingbox ... 2 \advance \dimen 0 #4bp
\dimen 0=\MPxscale
\dimen ...
l.2 %%BoundingBox: -6 -141 --32768 --32768
strange, it works here;
anyhow, you use very smalls numbers and (0.017mm) on the one end and big
ones later on, and somehow you end up with a boundingbox of 32K bp which is
pretty large,
The solution is in changing some dimensions: roughly design at the size you
want and use xysized(..,..) to scale thing sto proportions
