Your pdf document did not include the palatino font at all. When
I look at it in Acroread, I see Adobe Serif MM, pretending to be
raw palatino.

It looks like this is all caused by a path searching problem. Because
your pdfetex is also reading the font map files for dvipdfmx in favor
of the ones for pdftex itself.

You should go back trough the list, there have been some other posts
on the path-searching issues past week.

Re: [NTG-context] how to create texmfstart.exe?

2006-05-15 Thread Hans Hagen
Hi Christian
 I would like to include texmfstart.exe in the MiKTeX distribution, but I 
 don't know how to build texmfstart.exe. Is there a simple recipe 
 (Makefile) I can start with?
   
I'm switching from perl to ruby, so texmfstart is a ruby script. Say that the 
next code is put in ruby2exe.cmd, then i can make a binary with:

ruby2exe texmfstart 

which comes down to packaging the needed libraries + ruby core into an 'exe'. 
It uses exerb.  


@echo off

if exist %~n1.rb goto run

goto usage

:run

set exerbrubypath=c:\data\system\ruby.1.8.2

%exerbrubypath%\bin\ruby.exe  -r exerb/mkexr %~n1.rb %2
%exerbrubypath%\bin\exerb.exe -v -C %exerbrubypath%\share\exerb\ruby182c.exc 
%~n1.exr
del /q %~n1.exr %~n1.mak

goto end

:usage

echo usage: ruby2exe filename

:end

the rest of the programs, like texexec, will be started using texmfstart then 
(which assumes ruby to be present on the system; if not, then one needs to make 
texexec into an exe as well; there is a list of stubs in the latest context 
distribution (scripts/context/stubs/...); not all of them are needed, e.g. 
texutil is now integrated into texexec) 

i use common libraries to figure out the paths, and i hope that i did the 
miktex handling right; (i'd like to test miktex using my own trees, but it's 
kind of hard to set the additional trees that i use); anyhow, in the ruby 
variants it's more easy for me to handle miktex; for the moment it assumes 
kpsewhich to be present, but i can as well call another database program)

Re: [NTG-context] project files searched for using TEXINPUTS

2006-05-15 Thread Hans Hagen
Sanjoy Mahajan wrote:
 In experimenting with projects, products, and components, I was tracing
 file searches (using Linux, teTeX 3.0 and kpathsea).

 From the cont-eni.pdf manual (p. 26 of the PDF file), explaining more
 about components and project structure:

   
 Many TEX implementations look for a file in all directories and
 subdirectories when a requested file is not in the current
 directory. This is not only time--consuming but may lead to errors when
 the wrong file (a file with the same name) is loaded.
 

   
 For this reason ConTEXt works somewhat differently. A file that is not
 available on the working directory is searched for on the parent
 directories.
 

 I agree with this reasoning.  But as implemented, if the current and
 parent directories fail, ConTeXT will look in the TEXINPUTS search path.
 Is that the intended behavior when looking for project files?  Probably
 not ideal for the project file, though maybe it is useful for the
 resulting environment file?

 For finding figures, the behavior is clear: look in the local (.) and
 then the global directories, and that's it.

 For finding files specified by \input, the behavior is also clear (use
 TEXINPUTS).

 So I wondered whether the intention for finding project files was also
 equally clear: look in . and in (grand)parent directories (I've
 increased the number of levels to three).

 Here's the test.tex file I used:

 \startcomponent blah
 \product null
 \project abcd
 \stopcomponent

 $ texexec -passon=-kpathsea-debug 32 --once test  log
 $ grep abcd log | grep kpse_find
 kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ./abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS 
 environment variable)
 kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS 
 environment variable)
 kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS 
 environment variable)
 kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../../../abcd of type tex (from 
 TEXINPUTS environment variable)
 kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ./abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS 
 environment variable)
 kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS 
 environment variable)
 kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS 
 environment variable)
 kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../../../abcd of type tex (from 
 TEXINPUTS environment variable)
 kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS 
 environment variable)

 The last search, for 'abcd', runs through the entire TEXINPUTS path.
 The other searches have directories specified, so they will look only in
 those directories.
   
the reason for the global search is that environments can be in your local tree 
(tex/context/user)

 \setAbbreviation[key]{abbr}{meaning}{description} which

 after the first run the .tui file has a number of c

 Functionality is similar for the bibliography. The \cite command 
 writes \addToList[\usedReferences]{cite} into .tui.

 So, the .tuo file should populate used* lists and I could typeset the 
 list of used abbreviations in initialization order with 
 \executeListIntersection[\abbreviations][\usedAbbreviations]{\printAbbreviation}.
  
 Same for used bib references. But well, lists remain empty.

 I'll attach the module and the .tui file.
is there also a test file?

hm, in principle you can put the minimal over an existing big one and cross 
your fingers for it to work. 

the problem with the texmf vars's is that some of them are hard coded (sigh) 
and the reason why i provide the 'setuptex' things is that when i install tex 
on some system, i want to be sure that there are no interferences (in the past 
tex was often installed on linxu systems by default and the only robust way to 
get rid of an exiting setup was to overload all relevant texmf related vars; 

btw, a inimal installation will not break anything exiting, since you can put 
it somewhere else; you can even get away from the setuptex scripts by running 

texmfstart --tree=/say/its/located/here texexec ... 

which is handy in web based environments; in that case, texmfstart will read 
the setuptex.tmf file

[NTG-context] Possible users meeting?

2006-05-15 Thread Taco Hoekwater
Hi all,

On the trip to (and from) Bachotek, Hans and I have discussed a
great many topics related to ConTeXt.

One of the things we discussed was this: If there is sufficient
interest, we could organize a ConTeXt (mini)conference.

Tentative programme:

   friday night   : arrivals
   saturday   : talks
   sunday : talks/tutorials/workshops
   monday morning : early departures
   monday : developer meetings  more tutorials

We are thinking about spring 2007 (March or April).

The meeting place would be the south of the Netherlands,  close to
Maastricht Aachen Airport. We cannot say how much it would cost
without a better idea of number of attendees/programme, but we will
try to keep the costs low.

Some stuff we really want to know, so we can make a final decision:

   * are you interested in such a meeting?
 (no is also an interesting answer!)

   * would you be willing to give a talk or tutorial?
 (Hans and I cannot talk for three days straight)

   * are you happy with planning/programme?
 (any special requests about topics?)

NOTE: In the interest of email traffic control we request that if you
only reply yes or no, then please reply to me *personally*, and
no to the entire list.  Thanks in advance.

 TEXFONTMAPS   = 
 .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//;$TEXMF/{$progname,pdftex,dvips}/{config,}//
 
 as long as we have no uniform map file syntax, progs needs to be able to 
 find their own map files

i just did:

# rm -r /usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context
# rm -r /usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/context
# texhash

aren't these files awfully old anyway?  are they needed?
as cont-lm is not needed anymore i thought these are obsolete files...

 I'd like to make the ruby version of texexec the default. Are there any 
 strong objections to this?

 Also, i'd like the stubs to run texmfstart as launcher. For that
 purpose i'll add a /scripts/context/stubs/[mswin|unix] path with the
 default stubs that one can copy to some bin path  
 


 just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why ruby was chosen?
 was something wrong with perl?  will the next one (newnewtexexec) be in
 python? :)))
   
it's all a matter of taste. i like ruby and after working with it for a whiel 
decided that i could write better / cleaner code in ruby than in perl; i 
skipped python (didn't like some of its syntax); i'll stick to ruby (and later 
on lua for embedded tex stuff, but that's another story); so, there wil not be 
a texexec.py

i think i missed why you need to become root.
is this for regular runs of context in the future?

[NTG-context] Bibliography and whitespace

2006-05-15 Thread nico
Hello,

When I use \placebublications the white space I've set is no more taken  
into account. Besides, in the example below the space between the heading  
(Biblio) and the publication is also too small.

Regards,
BG

\usemodule[bib]
\setupwhitespace[big]
\setuppublications[criterium=all]

\startpublication[k=TDG,t=book]

Re: [NTG-context] some patches

2006-05-15 Thread Dalyoung Jeong
Dear Hans,

Thank you for your answer.

Since it worked perfectly before, I created XeTeX-ConTeXt format using
texexec --make --xtx en
for a test and run texexec --xtx file.tex.

It run OK and I got a pdf output. I think that it is not only the  
font problem unless texmfstart uses fonts differently. So my wonder  
is what cause the difference between
texmfstart texexec --xetex file.tex and texexec --xtx file.tex.(no  
output with errors and good output).
I am sorry to list this which is the problem for me only.

Since my TeX-knowledge is very short, I couldn't do anyting but  
testing. I'll upgrade to the latest version soon and see how it runs,  
although I am afraid of upgrading the current ConTeXt(05-11) to the  
latest one.

Thank you again.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt utf support on apple mac

 Hello all,
 I am struggling to get a utf support for Context on mac working with
 cyrrilic (Russian).
 I am using this example:
 \enableregime[utf]
 \useencoding[cyr]
 \definetypeface [russian]
   [rm] [serif] [computer-modern] [default] [encoding=t2a]

 \setupbodyfont[russian]
 \starttext
 Мама и Папа % Some Russian characters
 \stoptext
 taken from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian
 And it produces pdf with words:
 1
 Mama i Papa

There was a similar thread not so long time ago (Cyrillic glyphs
display problem with standalone ConTeXt distribution under win32).

Can you try the following example?

\enableregime[utf]

\usetypescript [map] [computer-modern] [t2a]
\usetypescript [serif,sans,mono,math] [computer-modern] [default,name,size,t2a]
\setupbodyfont [modern]

\starttext
тестируем юникод
\stoptext

[keep pressing enter in case there are some TFM files missing on your
computer, ie. in the case of messages like \*7ptrmbf=labx0700 not
loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.]

I don't know why the definitions have to be so long, but that's
another topic anyway.

Perhaps it would make sense to add TFM's to the distribution, but it
doesn't need to be together with the rest. Something like an extended
cont-fnt.zip for cyrillic would probably be enough.
