Re: [NTG-context] PSNFSS in new ConTeXt?
I don't know but it looks like a lot of palatino stuff is in teTeX and thus in gwTeX. Maybe it is just a matter of a map that has to be enabled?

[NTG-context] I think there is a little mistake in "ConTeXt an excursion"
On page 22 of my "ConTeXt an excursion" (version May 27, 1999), it says:
%--
\placefigure
[here,force]
[fig:canal]
{The Hasselt Canals.}
\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[Photo]} {a bitmap picture}
{\externalfigure[Graphic]} {a vector graphic}
\stopcombinatie
%--
but this can not be complied -_-
after a few tries, I think it shoud be like this:
%--
\placefigure
[here,force]
[fig:canal]
{The Hasselt Canals.}
{
\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[Photo]} {a bitmap picture}
{\externalfigure[Graphic]} {a vector graphic}
\stopcombination
}
%--
Note that there are { and } missing and a spell mistake.
I do not intend to blame the author at all, and in fact, ConTeXt is
really a good work!
I just hope this can be of some help to some newbies like me, since i
spent two hours to find out the soultion to combine two figures -_-

Just one last problem with vertical spacing in a frame:
\starttext
\framed[align=lohi]{%
\starttyping
test
\stoptyping
}
\stoptext
you need to
- nil the before/after keys
- make sure that framed constructs a vbox (by setting align)
- get rid of the auto strut
\definetyping[whatever][before=,after=]
\framed[strut=no,align=normal]
{\startwhatever
...
\stopwhatever}
normally one will use \startframedtext ... \stopframedtext in such cases (or the
textbackground mechanism if you need to spanpages or columns)

It's already possible to do this with some further macros (\finishLST

[NTG-context] buffers and mathml
Hi all,
I hope not to be posing a silly question.
I am trying something like:
usemodule[mathml]
\starttext
\def\open
{<}
\def\close
{>}
\startbuffer
\open math display="block"\close
\open apply\close \open sin/\close \open apply\close \open plus/\close
\open cn\close 2 \open /cn\close \open ci\close a \open /ci\close
\open /apply\close \open /apply\close
\open /math\close
\stopbuffer
\processXMLbuffer
\stoptext
But this does not pass to \processXMLbuffer the result of substituting
commands \open and \close...
how could this be achieved...?
I know that I could have used myself the < and >'s instead of the ugly open
and close but that is not my requirement.
I tried defining a command
\def\Wea
{
\open math display="block"\close
\open apply\close \open sin/\close \open apply\close \open plus/\close
\open cn\close 2 \open /cn\close \open ci\close a \open /ci\close
\open /apply\close \open /apply\close
\open /math\close
}
and then...
\startbuffer
\Wea
\stopbuffer
but that is plain wrong...
thanks

I understand that Europeans prefer other encodings with good reason but 8r needs to remain in the scheme of things IMO. I not only use plain tex, pdftex, Context etc. in my own work I advertise these Open Source solutions as effective alternatives to e.g., InDesign. To sell the system to new users requires a K.I.S.S. approach. Is there a problem in Context with making the URW fonts the default and then just aliasing the Adobe names to the URW versions? The more we can hide these details the better. Font handling is the great Achilles heel of all flavors of TeX, as we all know. Since Context is (relatively) new if we can jigger things around so that the K.I.S.S. principle is adhered to then selling the concept to new users will be easier. Too many people in the printing world have horrid memories of LaTeX from their college days or other earlier experience.

Everything is correct. No let us try to insert the file by context:
--
\starttext
%\font\bf=cmbx12
%Normal text. \bf Bold text.
\pdfximage{test.pdf}
\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage
\stoptext

H, now I feel it is more pdftex-related then context-related
question.
i can't reproduce it here with your files, it looks ok, but the
mechanism is that the font comparison is made by the name in the 2nd
column of the map file, and only if this matches the fontname in the
embedded file, the font file given the end of the map line is taken. E.
g. one can force a probably similar problem by (devious)
\pdfmapline{cmbx12 CMBX12
I see. Thank you, Hartmut, for explanating font inclusion mechanism. I
will cope the problem.

But I share your doubts in case of some complex pages (floats, margins, marks). But plain text should be OK. I am curious about the practical experience. vit ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

In 2003 all that urw mess was hopefully cleaned on CTAN and then on TL. Discussion started on 6 june and on 24 july that's me, who cleaned it for TL. The *base* 35 urw fonts (only afm and pfm/pfb) were prepared *after* all that urw tfm, vf etc. support files were made. >From README.base35 TeX systems can use these fonts as drop-in replacements for Adobe's PostScript Base fonts, which are not free. No particular TeX metrics, virtual fonts or macro files are provided for URW's base fonts. They are to be used with the same support files as Adobe's originals, i.e., with the files of the PSNFSS collection. AFM and PFM files are supplied here for the sake of completeness only. They are normally not required for use with TeX. In fact, nobody knows how the *old* mess with tfm, vf etc. fits to more *new* urw pfb which are of better quality then the older ones. Anyway both distributions cannot be mixed. Not to say about packaging, etc. So I introduced "urw35vf" (#3416) which contains all (historical) stuff for those using urw fonts directly (.vf, .tfm, .fd, .sty files). Everybody has freedom using them from TL. Thomas removed such stuff from teTeX as simply garbage. > Meanwhile, the afm and pfb are under just urw/.

However, after upgrading texexec and creating format files, it is working fine with some warning messages as following: WARNING: Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the correct format required by the Adobe Type 1 Font Format specification. WARNING: Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the correct format required by the Adobe Type 1 Font Format specification. WARNING: Type1 font data returned by OFAStreamPSDownload isn't in the correct format required by the Adobe Type 1 Font Format specification. I noticed this too on my recent re-install. I presume it's an issue with legacy type1 .pfb files being wrapped in a Mac format. However, I am not 100% certain this issue is independent of XeTeX on Tiger: I didn't really test the previous ConTeXt with XeTeX on 10.4. It's a XeTeX+Tiger issue, not related to the specific format being used but to the way we're supporting .pfb fonts (which the OS doesn't really support). Something changed between Panther and Tiger that made this start happening, although the output still seems to be OK (in particular, the .pfb fonts that the warnings relate to still seem to render fine). I have reported this to Apple and am trying to determine whether it is in fact a problem with what XeTeX is doing (in which case I need some more information on just what is wrong), or an Apple problem. Maybe I can get some answers at WWDC next week, if I can corner the right people. I don't know the causes of these warnings. I am using personal script file for Korean, but there was no warning before in the same condition. The first thing to figure out is if XeLaTeX users encounter this as well on Tiger when using legacy fonts. Yes, they will, but if they're running from an environment like TeXShop rather than Terminal, they may not have noticed the messages, as they'll appear only in the system log, which most people don't usually look at.
