 Very useful in some situations:

 define a new blank

I also tried ...

\def\smaller{\blank[.75*small]}

... which has exactly the same result / error-log.


Is there another way to define a new blank?

luatex (pdftex 2) probably will have more (esp control)

Re: [NTG-context] strange behaviour of \definedfont['Some Name'] in XeTeX

  Hello,
 
  I'm probaby misusing the feature (most robably because I just didn't
  take time to study how to do it properly), but it behaves really
  strange.
 
  In XeTeX I first did
 
  \font\f='Some Name' \f
 
  which worked OK. But when I tried the same with
   \definedfont['Some Name']
  it resulted in strange behaviour. For some fonts, metapost has been
  invoked and complained, but the resulting document had the proper font
  plus scaled 1000 written on the first page where the font has been
  selected. For other fonts it failed completely.
 
  What's actually the most clean way of including an uc-encoded font
  at a specific font size, but without the need of bold or any other
  typefaces (just for a title for example)? (Which basically means: I
  only want the same behaviour as the plain TeX expression above + uc
  encoding.)
 
 hm, that's Adam Lindsay's teritory; does bla work? (double quotes)

No, I tried that as well. As far as I remember this code used to work
already, but I might be wrong.

Blank? I am not sure whether I could make the problem clear:

What I need is a kind of \setupinterlinespace[.75*small].

But this syntax gives an error.


So the question is: What is the right syntax to make  
\setupinterlinespace[small] smaller *and* keep the stretch?

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt update deletes user files?

 Hello,

 after updating to the latest ConTeXt release (via i-Installer on my
 Mac) all my custom files are gone! I put them in .../texmf.local/tex/
 context/user/ and now there is emptiness :-( The installer shouldn't
 touch those files, right?

As already suggested, contact the mac mailing list. For the next time
you can place your files anywhere on the disk, for example to
/your/home/mytexmf/tex/context/user/
and then edit texmf.cnf by adding

MYTEXMF = /your/home/mytexmf/tex/context/user/

and adit TEXMF and TEXMFDBS according to the pattern you see there.
Run mktexlsr afterwards (I guess that if you update, you'll have to
repeat that process anyway, but at least you won't loose the files any
more).

An advantage in that approach is that you can also use the same files
under more than one operating system.

 Is there a way to recover them?

Did you take a look into .Trash in your home folder? If you had some
luck that's probably the only way to find it without hacking (using
special programs to recover deleted files from disk) ...

[NTG-context] background music in ConTeXt

2006-12-13 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,

How to set background music in a presentation ? I mean, I want the audio to
start automatically as a background when the pdf file is opened, not as 
a hyper link.

Thanks a lot.
