Re: [NTG-context] \getscaledglyph
Thank you, Willi, I wasn't aware of this nice font module!
(btw, running it on ArialUnicode with 2 columns and 10pt produces 500 PDF pages
and a peak memory usage of 1.2 GB!).
I like the idea of using glyph names rather than unicode numbers. For my actual
purpose your suggestion works perfectly, with \fontchar{emptyset}.
Beside this there are many glyphs with only "math names" (the rightmost column
in the fnt-10 output). I couldn't make \fontchar work with these. For example
the fore-mentioned char "2300 works with \fontchar{uni2300} but not with
\fontchar{varnothing}.
Is there a way to set these chars by their math name?

Hello Wolfgang, thank you for your answer. Sadly, your solution only
works for blockquotes starting at the top of the page. When blockquotes
are broken up between two pages the main text doesn't find its way back
to the grid (see page 2 of my minimal example).
Another point is: The space inserted at the top of the page is not a
half line big but of one and a half line.

Thanks, it was a typo. I already wondered about how huge an A5-sized
page in ConTeXt is :) However, the setup of my minimal example
illustrates the problems best on A4, so *here* it should read either
\setuppapersize[A4] or nothing (since A4 seems to be the default
anyway).
Best regards,
olli

[NTG-context] delimitedtext, spacebefore and grid
Hello,
I want to have both a halfline space before and after blockquotations.
Normally, this works fine; after the quotation the main text snaps
back to the grid (see page 3 of the example file).
\setupdelimitedtext
[blockquote]
[spacebefore=halfline]
However, this fails when the blockquote is the first element on the
page, either because a new blockquote starts on the top of the page
(cf. p. 1) or because a blockquote continues from the last page
(cf. p. 2). Is it possible to tell ConTeXt to insert a halfline of
space on the top of the page in these cases?
TIA,
olli

Re: [NTG-context] \getscaledglyph
Hi Thomas,
I had to do some work with regard to this issue recently.
What was mentioned on this list, is, that \fontchar is a command which will
stay.
\setupbodyfont[Myfont,rm,12pt]
\definesymbol[Q.alt] [\fontchar{Q.alt}]
\def\Qa{\symbol[Q.alt]}
The easiest way to get a stable environment is to use the char-names from the
font. You can extract a table with all char-names with
\usemodule[fnt-10]
\setupbodyfont[Myfont,rm,12pt]
\starttext
\ShowCompleteFont{Myfont.otf}{10pt}{1} % fontname, size,columns
% \ShowAllGlyphs {Myfont}{48pt}{4} % fontname, size,columns
\stoptext
Kind regards
Willi

Hi,
I wanted to try (using ConTeXt minimals MkIV) the example on page 228
of the MetaFun manual, dealing with typesetting in MetaPost.
I haven't look at the metapost manual ... but
The code is given as:
\resetMPdrawing
\startMPdrawing
picture pic[] ;
numeric wid[], len[], pos[], n ;
wid[0] := len[0] := pos[0] := n := 0 ;
\stopMPdrawing
\def\whatever#1%
{\appendtoks#1\to\MPtoks
\setbox\MPbox=\hbox{\bfd\the\MPtoks}%
\startMPdrawing
n := n + 1 ; len[n] := \the\wd\MPbox ;
\stopMPdrawing
\startMPdrawing[-]
pic[n] := textext("\bfd\setstrut\strut#1") ;
pic[n] := pic[n] shifted - llcorner pic[n] ;
\stopMPdrawing}
\handletokens MetaPost is Fun!\with\whatever
But is won't run. The following message is generated:
The actual error message said
! Undefined control sequence.
\@@toks ->\MPtoks
So add
\newtoks\MPtoks
After which you get
! Undefined control sequence.
\whatever ...endtoks #1\to \MPtoks \setbox \MPbox
so add
\newbox\MPbox
After that the file compiles but you get an empty image. There are two
things missing in the code. First you don't tell actually draw the
metapost drawing. for that, add
\MPdrawingdonetrue \getMPdrawing \resetMPdrawing
Still an empty page. Again the pic[n] is calculated but never drawn.
So add
draw p[n] shifted (n*1cm,0) ;
(or perhaps along a more sophisticated path),
and now you have a working example:
\newtoks\MPtoks
\newbox\MPbox
\resetMPdrawing
\startMPdrawing
picture p[] ;
numeric wid[], len[], pos[], n ;
wid[0] := len[0] := pos[0] := n := 0 ;
\stopMPdrawing
\def\whatever#1%
{\appendtoks#1\to\MPtoks
\setbox\MPbox=\hbox{\bfd\the\MPtoks}%
\startMPdrawing
n := n + 1 ; len[n] := \the\wd\MPbox ;
p[n] := textext("\bfd\setstrut\strut#1") ;
p[n] := p[n] shifted - llcorner p[n] ;
draw p[n] shifted (n*1cm,0) ;
\stopMPdrawing}
\starttext
\handletokens MetaPost is Fun!\with\whatever
\MPdrawingdonetrue \getMPdrawing \resetMPdrawing
\stoptext
You could also have just used the macros from meta-txt:
\useMPlibrary[txt]
\startMPdefinitions
newpath RotPath ;
RotPath = fullcircle scaled 3cm ;
\stopMPdefinitions
\starttext
\followtokens{Metapost is fun \quad}
\stoptext
@Hans: Perhaps we can have a more ConTeXtist interface to this macro:
\definetextonepath
[whatever]
[color=...,
style=...,
mp=..., % path specification
]
\whatever{Metapost is fun}
Aditya
Hi,
Okay, that makes things more clear, but couldn't find this in the
manual! Maybe it is very obvious to someone more familiar with METAPOST.
Well, I also tried the nice macro example on page 232 of the MetaFun
manual by Hans, and got of course the same problems. But after I added the
\newtoks\MPtoks
\newbox\MPbox
definitions to the file, it worked!
Also the Inkscape alternative is very useful, thanks for helping me out!

Gerard
