Re: [NTG-context] Font selection problem in MKIV

2011-05-21 Thread Otso Helenius
Sorry, I was in error while referring to the font sizes. The actual "limit" 
below
which typescripted fonts stop working is 12pt and it is not tied to the 
\setupbodyfont
setting. Any font output with 12pt or less will be formatted as Latin Modern. 
i.e.

\switchtotypeface[Pompadour][ss,12pt] 01234567890

shows as Latin Modern whereas

\switchtotypeface[Pompadour][ss,12.1pt] 01234567890

shows as Pompadour. 12pt is the default document font size so I can only guess 
there
is some kind of a conflict. I'm using ConTeXt  ver: 2011.05.18 22:26 MKIV



Best,
Otso Helenius

[modern, 14pt] (or anything else than LeagueScript or
Pompadour), all fonts will show up as Latin Modern. This seems very odd.

b) specify a font size less than 13pt in \setupbodyfont, all fonts will (again) 
show up as Latin Modern. It seems that nowhere in the
document I'm able to use these "external" fonts in small sizes. There is no 
problem with sizes >= 14pt. This seems to happen with all
ttf/otf fonts I try to use.

Could it be possible that these two issues are caused by a bug in MKIV?

Actually, the biggest problem is that many font related pages on the Wiki are 
for MKII and many lack information on whether the syntax
is for MKII or MKIV. The font docs on Pragma homepages are for MKII only. 

Syntax for the \switchtotypeface would be nice. showfont.pdf from Pragma 
homepage shows \switchtotypeface[name][size,type] as one
possible calling syntax but a clear explanation of all the parameters is 
missing. I would like to add this to the Wiki along other
tutorials for MKIV font usage, so as much information on the subject as 
possible is appreciated.

There seems to be a few lines in the source in the wrong,
it’s possible this happened when Hans rewrote parts of
the interaction macros to make them more efficient.

\setvalue{\??rf\c!interaction\v!all}%

   \leftofreference

\switchtotypeface wasn’t working for you because the second argument
expects a font alternative (e.g. rm, ss etc.)  and not the size.

You can also switch to a certain typeface when you use the command,
in your case \LeagueScript but have to ensure that the typeface
is loaded, otherwise you’ll get an error message.

The preferred method to select a typescript are \setupbodyfont and
\switchtobodyfont, the differences between both is that \switchtobodyfont
use the chosen font only for the document text while \setupbodyfont
affects also the header and footer of your document.

A real problem with all TeX systems, fonts have too many names
and it’s hard to know which one you need to load it.

Indeed, Hans explains in his manuals sometimes too much which can
confuse a beginner because these information aren’t necessary to
use a certain mechanism, e.g. to load a font.

[NTG-context] Behaviour of definereferenceformat changed?

2011-05-21 Thread Julian Becker
Can it be that in the beta version 2011.05.01, the behaviour of
\definereferenceformat changed?
I used to define:
\definereferenceformat [ineqn] [left=(,right=),text=equation]
and get e.g. "equation (1)", but now all it produces "(equation 1)". Is it
supposed to behave that way?
Do I have to use something like
\definereferenceformat [ineqn] [right={)},text={equation (}]
to get what I want, or is there something better?



Example:

\definereferenceformat [ineqn] [left=(,right=),text=equation]
\starttext
Here in \ineqn[eq1].
\placeformula[eq1]
\startformula
a^2+b^2=c^2
\stopformula
\stoptext

[NTG-context] pdf attachments broken in latest minimal?

[NTG-context] Font selection problem in MKIV

2011-05-21 Thread Otso Helenius
> Try
> > \switchtotypeface[LeagueScript][12pt]
> \switchtobodyfont[LeageScript]

Is \switchtobodyfont the recommended way of changing the typeface temporarily 
anywhere in a document
(for example when making cover page graphics)? Its name implies only document 
body.

Nevertheless, \switchtobodyfont works (at least in the document body, haven't 
tested yet elsewhere)
without setting \setupbodyfont.

> \definetypeface[LeagueScript][ss][specsans][League Script Thin]
> \definetypeface[Pompadour][ss][specsans][Pompadour]

This seems to work for most fonts, with others like Pompadour it fails 
(pompadour has SubFamily string of
"Black" [Mac] and "Regular" [Windows] in the .otf), and spec fails to find 
pompadour-normal-normal which
it is looking for). Pompadour is a serif font, so i tried also with arguments 
[rm][specserif].

I have looked into co-typography.pdf for help, and while it is very extensive 
in some parts, in others it
is (too) technical and lacks expanations for some parameters.

As soon as I get these issues sorted out I'll try if I can make the MKIV font 
pages in the Wiki a bit
more beginner friendly.

[NTG-context] problem with columnsetspan

2011-05-21 Thread Gordon Parrott

Hi
I am fairly new to Context and as a way to learn I am working on a magazine 
layout for a an organisation to which I belong.

I was getting along well ( with information I got from the web site and the 
mail lists).

 I am having a problem with \starcolumsetspan. Until a week or two ago it 
appeared to be working but I have just installed the minimals on a new machine 
and it no longer works with the latest version.

I found this example on the mailing list which give the same results:

\definecolumnset[columntest][n=2,balance=yes]
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[columntest]
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext


I'm just wondering if there is anything I might need to do to the above to get 
it to work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated but I am in no hurry for this and could 
wait until it gets fixed in the normal round of releases.


Cheers
Gordon

Dear ConTeXt folks,


using ConTeXt and not LaTeX you maybe also use a nice reference
management software the main stream does not know about. But probably it
is not related to ConTeXt at all since it is BibTeX in the end.

I found a comparison in Wikipedia [1] and consider to use JabRef.

  And what do you expect the user interface to look like?  You're going
to need to add information in the font for each relevant glyph or glyph
pairs; it's a little bit like using a macro to adjust accent placement
at that point.

You use in your example “\page” without an argument while you define here
\page with an explicit argument which isn’t the same for TeX.

What can work is “\appendtoks\let\page\gobbleoneoptional\to\simplifiedcommands“
but i think it‘s better to solve this with a different input where you write

You can use the simplefonts module to set different fonts for your main text

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella]
\setmainfontfallback[Arabic Typesetting Sample][features=arabic,range=arabic]

[NTG-context] text fragments in arabic

2011-05-21 Thread R. Ermers
Dear all,

I have some fragments of Arabic in my dutch context document (mkiv). I tried 
the  environment ara-sty on the wiki, but Context halts at  
\setcharactermirroring[1]

Then I found in an e-mail on the internet the suggestion to give up on 
setcharactermirroring and use instead these instructions:

%\setupdirections[bidi=global] or
\setupdirections[bidi=local]

I replaced charactermirroring by \setupdirections[bidi=local] but there seems 
to be a problem with that too.

The environment ara-sty apparently interferes with the section headings in my 
document anyway, perhaps because it is designed for documents whose 
mainlanguage is Arabic. I found elaborate suggestions to typeset a 'hello' 
document in Arabic, but my document contains mixed text. (When I uncomment 
ara-sty, the document is typeset normally.)

Note that I have been typesetting Arabic texts in Latex (starting with ArabTeX) 
 and xelatex (unicode) for years now, but I expected that typesetting Arabic in 
Context / Luatex is more complicated.

Thus I have two questions:

1. which module should I load or which commands should I add to the preambule 
for typesetting Arabic,
2. how should I mark the Arabic fragments in my text? e.g. {\RT عقل}?

Thanks in advance!
