Confirmed

\starttext
\typefile{test-aditya-TEST}
\stoptext

where test-aditya-TEST is
TEST

fails

[NTG-context] typefile

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

Something is wrong with \typefile in latest context in MKIV.

\starttext
\typefile{somefile}
\stoptext

(the file 'somefile' should exist)

gives

! Undefined control sequence.
 \filepath

\pathplusfile #1#2->#1
   \f!pathseparator #2
\mktypefileverbatim ...rs.typefile("\readfilename
   ")}
\dosometyping ...rt }{\typingparameter \c!stop }}}
   \stopverbatimcolor 
\stoppa...
\dotypefile ...else \dodotypefile [\v!file ][]{#3}
   \fi \fi
l.3 \typefile{somefile}


Also, in MKII, when the file does not exist, you get a warning message in 
the pdf output. In MKIV, there is no warning. Missing files are silently 
ignored.

Hi Luigi,

you're looking for sans fonts, right? No, I don't really have any good  
Arial/Helvetica-like fonts. I mix Gentium with sans on my slides and  
find it acceptable; Arial Unicode of course has Greek, but is really  
ugly, as is Lucida Grande (on the Mac). Have a look at 
http://www.greekfontsociety.gr/pages/en_typefaces1.html 
  , maybe there's something you'll like.

Do you know some fonts Arial/Helvetica like that are good for Greek ?
I have some samples under mkii, and I would like to test them under mkiv

Well, it does say in a pretty obvious manner: you'll need to install  
the cbgreek fonts, including the map file. However, I'm not sure it  
will work OOTB; the cbgreek fonts have changed a bit, and s-grk-00.tex  
isn't really maintained (file date is Oct. 2004). If you're using  
luatex, you don't really need this module anyway; you simply choose a  
font which has Greek characters and input in Unicode Greek.

[NTG-context] /ModDate (mkiv)

[Peter Rolf]

Hi,

there is a small bug in the /Info dictionary when using mkiv. The
'ModDate' is written as 'Context - .MM.DD HH:mm', which results in a
blank entry in the 'Document Properties' of the viewer.

Anyhow, to avoid preflight problems it would be wise to set /ModDate to
the same value and form (p160, PDF Reference 1.7) as /CreationDate (like
in mkii). Otherwise you must have trust in the comparison routines of
the preflight software (which is no good choice).
Just think about PDF/X-4, where all XMP entries
(http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/) are compared with the corresponding
/Info entries.

Best wishes, Peter

I think some kind of cnf file will still be necessary to tell TeX where
to look for files, though with reasonable defaults, the file would only
be created (by the user) if needed.


>> /etc/texmf:/etc/texmf/web2c:/var/lib/texmf/web2c:{~/texmf,!!/etc/texmf,!!/var/lib/texmf,!!/usr/lib/texmf,!!/usr/local/share/texmf,!!/usr/share/texmf}/web2c

Yes, though the exact value depends on the distribution. In openSUSE, if
I found the correct variable, it is

WEB2C = 
${TEXMFHOME}/web2c;${TEXMFSYSCONFIG}/web2c;${TEXMFSYSVAR}/web2c;$TEXMF/web2c  


How about keeping the current searching algorithm (of the luatools.lua
you have sent me) plus look additionally in $HOME/texmf/web2c/ ? I think
this is the only reasonable other place. The $HOME/texmf should have
higher precedence to allow the user to overwrite the system defaults.
(That seems to be in line with all teTeX/TeX Live distributions on
Linux, which I know.)

(Another possibility would be to access the stored strings in "texlua"
and use that search path; I don't know whether this is possible.)

Tobias

It does - I messed up the "web2c" string search in the luatex binary;
there are two strings. The right one seems to be:

~/texmf/web2c:/etc/texmf/web2c:/var/lib/texmf/web2c:{~/texmf,!!/etc/texmf,!!/var/lib/texmf,!!/usr/lib/texmf,!!/usr/local/share/texmf,!!/usr/share/texmf}/web2c

i have no clue (nor time to look into it in detail) but this seems to 
work ok:

% engine=luatex interface=en

\starttext

\startMPpage
 externalfigure "cow.pdf" scaled 2cm ;
 clip currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture -- reverse 
unitsquare scaled 1cm shifted (.5cm,.5cm) -- cycle ;
\stopMPpage

\stoptext

[NTG-context] A little OT, but really worth reading

This appeared today on the Polish TeX mailing list.

A *beautiful* application of letter- and bookshapes in design.  And it's
Dutch!

Have a nice time reading!

i uploaded a beta

for some reason the fallbacks were not part of the hash that i use to
keep track of uniqueness of definitions

it seems to work ok now in the beta

this might also solve some of Thomas's problems

there will probably be a new current later today

Would KPSE find texmfcnf.lua in $HOME/texmf/web2c ?
