[NTG-context] Drawing scaled externalfigure in Metapost produces erroneous size in the latest beta
Hello! The simple Metapost code that follows worked fine until upgrading to recent beta. I don't have a clue exactly when this behaviour was introduced since I switched just recently from the standard Texlive version available in Arch Linux. \starttext \startMPcode draw externalfigure "test.pdf" scaled 10mm; \stopMPcode \stoptext Now it produces a graphic with size of approximately 110 mm at least in my system with various test files which previously scaled just fine.. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Thorsten S.___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] *** Spam *** Drawing scaled externalfigure in Metapost produces erroneous size in the latest beta
Hi Thorsten, I had the same problem a couple of months ago. Use sized instead of scaled now. The same goes for xscaled and yscaled. Greetings Lutz Am 4.

[NTG-context] variable edef with localhsize calculation
Dear All,
I try to save \localhsize in a variable (with \edef), but whenever the
enclosure changes, my variable changes too.
\starttext
\edef\myVar{\dimexpr (\localhsize-15pt)\relax}
localhsize: \the\dimexpr\localhsize\relax \\
myVar: \the\dimexpr\myVar\relax \\
\setupnarrower[middle=50mm]
\startnarrower
localhsize: \the\dimexpr\localhsize\relax \\
myVar: \the\dimexpr\myVar\relax \\
\stopnarrower
\stoptext
I would expect that myVar has the same value inside the narrower as outside,
because I used \edef and not \def.
Is there another variable I can use, or does someone knows a solution for this
specific problem?
Thanks, Julian
btw. everything works as expected, if I do not use \localhsize.

The backends are different as are a few other details but the base macros are the same. Hans is working on an article describing this that I believe he will be presenting at BachoTeX and publishing in TugBoat. Alan P.S.

[NTG-context] Archlinux package for luametatex
Hi, I create a archlinux AUR for luametatex: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/luametatex/ Those using archlinux can now use their favorite AUR helper to install luametatex. It installs the files in /opt/luametatex and has the following features: 1. If texlive is installed, a symlink to '/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts' is created at '/opt/luametatex/texmf-fonts/fonts'. This way, all fonts installed via texlive are available in context. 2. It context minimals is installed via AUR, a symlink to '/opt/context-minimals/texmf-modules' is created at 'opt/luametatex/texmf-modules'. So, all the context modules are available. 3. A setuptex file is created at /opt/luametatex/setuptex. So, it is easier to switch back and forth between lmtx and mkiv.

[NTG-context] How to update LMTX?
Dear list, With ConTeXt standalone there was an easy way to update the install script and the distrivution using rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . sh ./first-setup.sh --context=latest --engine=luatex --modules=all --fonts=all For LMTX it seems that I have to download the zip from http://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm, extract it and then run install.sh to account for possibly updated installation scripts. Is there a resource where I can download the (unzipped) install script and binaries via rsync directly? On another note, it seems that I can't install modules and fonts in LMTX. When running mtxrun --script mtx-install.lua --help I can see the options --modules and --fonts but running bin/mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-install.lua --update --server="..." --instance="..." --modules=all --fonts=all seems to have no effect.

Re: [NTG-context] follow up
Dear Hans,
I have installed both ConTeXt LMTX and ConTeXt MKIV side by side.
But I have a problem to run it.
If it is OK to run a file in LMTX environment, then I got a following error
when I run it in MKIV environment.
“I can’t fine a file …../defFonts.tex” even though it is there.
To resolve it, I run “mtxrun —generate” in MKIV.
But it invoke the same type error in LMTX.
Here are the command in Atom editor which I use to run it.
LMTX:
source /Users/graph/ConTeXtLMTX/tex/setuptex;
context {filePath}
MKIV:
source /Users/graph/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex;
context {filePath}
I may avoid it by adding “mtxrun —generate” before compiling it.
But it isn’t a good solution.
I think that there is a better way to do this.
Would you please tell me how to fix it or what is a better way?
Thank you for reading.
Best regards,
Dalyoung
