Re: [NTG-context] \pdfannot and \tooltip won't work with Chinese characters
Hi
I've been looking at some core codes and the PDF reference, still have no
idea.
Somehow, I was told that LaTeX can do such things using hyperref package
and \pdfstringdef\temp{???}, then \pdfannot{... /Contents(\temp) ...} should
be OK.

Hi everybody,
Since \inmargin won't break through pages and I've tried everything but
still can't make it, I bended. Now I want to comment some words with
\pdfannot. It seems that this command don't support Chinese very well, the
annotations appeared like lookaheaduchar 73 and something. Then I turned
to \tooltip, and this time it showed nothing.
Can anybody help me?

[NTG-context] macro for api-documentation
Hello everyone, good morning europe, I want to generate an API-
documentation. For this I use a table (bTABLE) for every function
definition. That's a lot of code, which is in part dynamic (number of
rows for example depends on number of arguments). Here is a simple
example, but I will need colors and different fonts, different lines
between in/out and so on.

ok, it's a joke http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.pdftex/3404 (but the best is http://www.google.com/tisp/ ) But my question is: Will be easy in luatex to implement a new output format (dvi,pdf,xps,my-xml,my-bin-format) driven by command line ? Actually $texmfstart texexec --pdf a.tex == a.pdf $texmfstart texexec a.tex == a.dvi ie, tex=pdf or tex=dvi because pdftex has two native output format.

Re: [NTG-context] XeTeX is broken after ConTeXt update
Hi Vyatcheslav, I encountered the same problem a couple of weeks ago ... and it will probably not be fixed until luaTeX is out. The reason is that Hans is currently reworking bits and pieces of ConTeXt in order to prepare for the transition to luaTeX ... and font handling is apparently one of the things undergoing a massive overhaul these days. Unfortunately this appears to have broken compatibility with XeTeX. At the Epen conference Hans told me that he's going to finalize ConTeXt's font interface code for luaTeX first and then eventually backport everything to XeTeX. So for the time being your best bet might be to stick with the January version of ConTeXt included in TeXLive 2007. It's fairly stable and can be used for production purposes although it obviously won't benefit from the latest bug fixes to parts other than fonts. Alternatively, you might as well want to wait for the inaugural release of luaTeX.

[NTG-context] Updates with older dates
Sorry, just found a strange thing. A month old distribution of TeXLive contains bib-mod.doc file dated November 4, 2006. And current cont-tmf.zip contains the same file but dated... September 7, 2006. Strange, isn't it? Best, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] No way to use XeTeX
Hello Oliver, I reinstalled TeXLive2007 from scratch -- fonts work fine, but .pdf images are replaced by dummy rectangles. (ImageMagik makes no difference.) After manually updating ConTeXt files to the current release -- font handling is broken. So, there is no way to use XeTeX for me. :((( -- Best, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

However, I downloaded and installed the fresh version of TexLive2007 today, and no problems from updating shouldn't arise. The log says: figures : dimensions of ./f01.pdf calculated by rlxtools system(texmfstart rlxtools --identify ./f01.pdf)...disabled. figures : dimensions of ./f01.pdf calculated by rlxtools figures : figure f01.pdf can not be found I do not run XeTeX, but guessing from the error message, is write18 enabled on your system?

This sounds like the command execution extension is turned off. Whether or not ConTeXt is allowed to run other programs from within (Xe)TeX is controlled by a variable in texmf.cnf called shell_escape. That variable is likely set to f (false) after initial installation, but should be easy to fix if you can find the texmf.cnf on your disk, and set the variable to t (true) instead.
