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

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

\currentreferencecontent

\leftofreference
\currentreferencecontent
\rightofreference
\doifsometokselse\rightreferencetoks\rightofreferencecontent\donothing

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. >> \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).

[NTG-context] problem with columnsetspan
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

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
an alternative text for the notes where none of these commands are present.

[NTG-context] text fragments in arabic
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!
