Re: [NTG-context] cals tables - UNSOLVED
Dear All,
I am still trying to typeset cals tables.
I have
1. an environment document with instructions.
2. an xml docbook file containing cals tables
Note that the original cals tables (docbook standard) use table, tgroup, etc.
but for ConTeXt purposes this - as far as I understand - needs to be:
cals:table, cals:tgroup, etc. (My xml reader does not recognize them anymore.)
Among the many things I tried is putting the table in a separate xml file, and
then import it:
\starttext
\xmlprocess{main}{\xmlatt{#1}{fileref}}{}
\stoptext
This works, so yes, it is possible to produce a standard table on a pdf page.
This pd file can be imported as an image (which of course is of no help when
the table is longer than one page).
But the directives - the ones prepared by Hans - have no influence on the
tables at all. According to the log file the cdx file file is loaded, but the
directives are not recognized:
lxml : no directives found in 'x-cals-test.cdx'
To solve this, I tried rephrasing the directives as context instructions:
directive attribute='cdx' value=colors element=cals:table
setup=cdx:cals:table:colors/
\xmlcontextdirective {cdx} {colors} {cals:table} {cdx:cals:table:colors}
But there is no effect, and I don't know whether I did this right. However,
loading the separate xml file and processing the table remain the main problem.
When the process instruction is part of a setup in an environment file, such as:
\startxmlsetups xml:mediaobject:imageobject:imagedata:tabel
\xmlloaddirectives{x-cals-test.cdx}%
\xmlprocess{main}{\xmlatt{#1}{fileref}}{}
\stopxmlsetups
The table is not typeset and the entire file is broken off at this point (the
table xml file is valid of course).
So the table is probably read in, but then something happens. Without the
table, the file is typeset normally.
I already read and reread all information in the manuals on this subject, and
all archived email correspondence.
Can anyone explain me in more than one line how to set up an environmental
file? Or show me a working minimal example?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Robert

[NTG-context] Boekplan books
Hello, I just received the Fonts in ConTeXt; thanks that such publication exists. One suggestion: - Wouldn't be good to offer both grey scale and coloured version of the book? The coloured version would be more expensive, indeed. But one would have a choice; and Hans and Taco's documents are very nice in choice of colours, too (I mean especially the documents which are freely available for download), and one may find the coloured version more readable or synoptic; and thus preferred.

I just asked, because I couldn't find an environment variable with that name. Even after setuptex.bat typing echo %OSFONTDIR% did only print %OSFONTDIR% and not a list of paths, as I expected. Here mtxrun tries to identify fonts with a number of suffixes. It only consideres otf, ttf, ttc, dfont and afm (and caps versions). Shouldn't there be pfm or pfb as well? On Linux, it seems to scan for .afm files, as that's what Linux expects and installs in preference to pfm. I'd expect the Windows version to scan for .pfm, but I've never run any kind of TeX under Windows. To be honest, I did have problems getting LuaTeX and XeTeX to recognize the PostScript fonts installed with GhostScript, so I eventually removed them from my font path. My general conclusion is that life is a lot, lot simpler if you throw away all your Type 1 fonts and replace them with OpenType versions. (I used fontforge to convert the few that I really wanted to keep.) Also, if you can find out what TeX is looking for, there are tools to convert between pfb and pfa, and between afm and pfm. mathew ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] (RSFS) font installation
So... I think I got somewhere now with the explanations from you and mathew. It seems that the problem were the missing .afm files (as mtxrun wanted those, not .pfm nor .pfb). I found two different solutions A and B: (1) Install fonts (.pfm) in Windows (2A) Put .afm files to C:\Windows\Fonts (2B) Put the complete rsfs (containing the .afm and all the other stuff) directory to texmf-fonts\fonts (3) Run mtxrun --script fonts --reload (4) Running mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=rsfs shows the fonts (Note the --all, otherwise only one is printed) There are two things now, that are somehow strange to me: - In both versions, step (1) seems to be mandatory. I would expect, that the rsfs directory in texmf-fonts\fonts should be enough, as mtxrun clearly searches there and all the files are there, too. I don't understand the problem here. - If the .pfm and .pfb files are sufficient for Windows, why does mtxrun specifically search for .afm files and not also for .pfm? Anyhow, the fonts are finally listed/recognized by mtxrun. Unfortunately, the example at http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100414.122529.bc3ba584.en.html still doesn't show me the rsfs font, only a default font. Probably I just have to look into that (and the example from mathew) tomorrow.

[NTG-context] Hoefler font in Mark IV
Dear all, I have been using Hoefler font successfully in a newsletter. I am now processing it in MarkIV but I don't get bold or bold italic. Italic is not quite the same either.

Re: [NTG-context] Hoefler font in Mark IV
Run this: mtxrun --script fonts --reload Then check the output of this: mtxrun --script fonts --list --info --pattern=hoefler* If it doesn't list your fonts, theres something wrong. But it may give you something like this: hoeflertext hoeflertextregular Hoefler-Text.ttf hoeflertextbold hoeflertextbold Hoefler-TextBf.ttf ... etc. depending on the real names and files. You then can try to add an option with the correct name to simplefonts: \setmainfont[Hoefler Text][boldfont=hoeflertextbold] Am 20:59, schrieb Charles Doherty: Dear all, I have been using Hoefler font successfully in a newsletter.

Hoefler Text has only a black and a blackitalic but no bold or bolditalic,
therefore simplefonts can’t find them and you have to help the command. The *

I look at it from the perspective that the last time I used TeX, my 8MHz Atari ST took several seconds to process each page. And then it took several seconds per page for the previewer to show me the DVI. And I couldn't do anything else on the machine while it was working. My way of working now is that I keep a short scratchpad document in TeXworks, and use it to sort out my formatting and macros, taking advantage of the live preview. When I'm done, I copy the definitions into my actual working document, which I edit in vim. I only typeset the entire working document once or twice an hour, if that; vim catches syntax errors. So if LuaTex takes a few seconds longer to do the typesetting, it's completely unimportant. mathew ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

for ConTeXt purposes this - as far as I understand - needs to be: cals:table,
cals:tgroup, etc. (My xml reader does not recognize them anymore.)
There is a bug in lxml-dir.lua. Open lxml-dir.lua and change
local collection = xml.applylpath({ getid(xml.load(filename)) },directive) --
is { } needed ?
to
local collection = xml.applylpath(getid(xml.load(filename)),directive)
