Dear Taco,
a kind of feature request for the next release:
et al. is not language dependant, but nevertheless it would be nice (at
least for the thesis of my brother), if this string wouldn't be hard-coded

Re: [NTG-context] Using ConTeXt through MikTeX

Hello, friends,
I posted this message some days back to the MikTeX mailing list, but 
would like to repeat it here.

I use MikTeX with the text editor TechnicCenter. I generally work with 
PDFLaTeX.

I have been reading about ConTeXt, which among other things enables 
the use of Metapost from within the package. (I wish to use Metapost 
as I need to draw lots of diagrams for Euclidean geometry.) It seems 
that one can configure MikTeX for ConTeXt.

Could any user of ConTeXt suggest how to do the configuring? I am not 
able to act on the tips given. I have located in MikTeX Options the 
option cont-uk (in the Formats tab) and have selected it; but am not 
sure of the next step.

I would be grateful for some advice on this matter. Thanks.
- there should be a texexec.ini (if not copy texexec.rme to texexec.ini) in which you have to uncomment: 

 set TeXShell  to  miktex
- next you need to generate formats
 texexec --make --alone --all (maybe without alone) 

now you should be able to process files with 

 texexec  --pdf somefile
(more info on how to set up metapost runtime support can be found in the wiki/archives)

[NTG-context] Re: typescript checking

2004-08-19 Thread Hans Hagen
dr. Hans van der Meer wrote:
Hi Hans,
On my travels through ConTeXt's fonthandling I got the following 
result on typescript matching:
enter[xyz][][] and check[xyz][pqr][]
does match.

If I read the definition of  \dochecktypescript#1#2#3 well, this is 
because an empty  argument #1 at once leads to a \donetrue. That makes 
the checking of an empty argument equivalent to the checking with an 
[all] key (but for the additional fact that [all] matches on both the 
entered and the checked key). Then

(enter[xyz][][] --- check[xyz][pqr][]) is equivalent with 
(enter[xyz][all][] --- check[xyz][pqr][])

Isn't this counterintuitive? I would have expected empty matching 
nothing at all, or at most matching another empty argument. The point 
is, I wanted to do a nice structured setup, something like:

\starttypescript [A]  \usetypescript[A][AA]  
\usetypescript[A][AB]\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [A][AA] ...
\starttypescript [A][AB] ...
etc.

Now [A] matches[A][AA] (i.e. [A][][] matching [A][AA][]) and this 
doesn't work.
It has the addtional problem that for example typescript [pos] in 
type-pre.tex (by calling \setupbodyfont[pos]) has a sub-typescript 
[all][times,helvetica,courier][texnansi] that now will match 
typescript [A][][]. That was not meant to be the case! At least not by 
me when I wrote the typesciprt. But if the file containing [A][][] is 
in the searchpath it will be processed in each round. In some cases it 
even can lead to an infinite recursion of typescripts.

Setting up things from back to front ([AA}[A] etc.) alleviates some 
of the problems, but does not stop the unwanted occasions where [A] 
matches [all][other_things].

Do I have it all wrong?
Thanks to those who will take the trouble to look into this matter.
Hans van der Meer
Ok, the next release will have: 

\usetypescriptexact
where empty defaults to a false match, so that you can play a bit with that alternative. I'll send you the file.

Concerning those fonts, there are differences between distributions: 
different metrics, different subpaths, urw instances either or not 
present; i got the feeling that sometimes fixes/changes take place when 
a font contributer finds out that his/her system does not work thereby 
breaking other things); unfortunately much of those pieces of 
distributions are dictated by what latex wants to see instead of being 
generic

(one reason why i always generate metrics myself, although i found out 
that on the current tex live some of the files needed for that are not 
present of in different paths, so watch your logs -)

Hi all,
I use an overlay to implement a navigation bar in the left margin of a 
document. It seems to me that the processing of the overlay is done 
only once and not for every page again. In addition, the \lastpage is 
not available.
page, paper and text backgrounda are calculated each page, unless you 
say \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat], in which case all are recalculated; 
if you put something in a layer it happens directly (but the layer may 
be flushed later)

Does anyone know a solution? Maybe headers/footers are a solution. But 
how is absolute positioning accomplished with them?

you can put a layer in the background of the header area and that do 
something:

\startsetups whatever
 \setlayer[thatlayer][positioning...]{\the\pageno}
\stopsetups
\setupheadertexts[\setups{whatever}]
PS: Here is my current implementation:
\definelayer[navbar]
\setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background=navbar]
\setlayer[navbar][x=0cm,y=10cm]{\the\pageno}
lastpage etc only make sense in the output routine (during page building) since one does not know where tex will break the page.

This file processes ok here; also, your bug is not so much related to
headers but more to some kind of \_ expansion In what path are your
graphics? 
   

it breaks on 2004.8.14 as well on live.contextgarden.net
Graphics (cow.pdf) is in /opt/local/texmf/tex/context/sample
If the two graphics are not on the same page, the error dissapears.
The reproduction of the error is very sensitive to layout changes.
 

the problem occurs in the output routine (when the page is built); some tracing all learns that while flushing the fig box takes place, the meaning of textunderscore is changed; so we need to restore this before hand; actually this problem should be solved differently, i.e. no redefinition at all; the problem is that findinf good solutions is not that easy because of moments of expansion

[NTG-context] Lucida Bright Fonts from StarOffice

2004-08-19 Thread skhilji
For right now, I am giving up on the postscript fonts.  Lets try something else.

At http://home1.vr-web.de/~was/lucidayy/, you will see some files that tell you how to 
use the Lucida Bright fonts that come with StartOffice 5.2 with LaTeX.

I copied all the pfb and afm files from StarOffice52 into a folder.  Its contents are:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] fonts]$ ls *.pfb
hlcbot6w.pfb  hlcrot6w.pfb  hlhd80.pfb   hlhri80.pfb  hlsdo80.pfb  hlsro80.pfb

hlcbt81.pfb   hlcrt81.pfb   hlhr81.pfb   hlsdo6w.pfb  hlsro6w.pfb
[EMAIL PROTECTED] fonts]$

I also have all the *.afm files from StarOffice.


Is there any way I can use these fonts with ConTeXt?  If yes, where do I need to copy 
them and what do I rename them to? Are these fonts exactly the same as the ones that 
you buy from yandy.com?

Also the above site says On the other hand, only the basic font styles (roman, sans 
serif, typewriter) are available, whereas the fonts from YY include many more 
variants such as true smallcaps, sans serif italic, fax, handwriting, blackletter and 
more)  Does CoTeXt use the other fonts that are missing?

I suppose it would be legal for me to use these fonts with ConTeXt?  I may have to ask 
someone at yandy.com.  It could be possible that these fonts are supposed to be used 
with StarOffice and StarOffice only.

I am still confused why the content of the document directory had an

[NTG-context] Typing in Polytonic Greek

2004-08-19 Thread Steffen Wolfrum
Hi,

I have a font for Polytonic Greek (athenian) installed in my ConTeXt-set
and save my tex-files with utf-8 encoding (in TeXShop).
Now I want to typeset a text (latin characters) with quotes in Polytonic Greek.
Work is much easier for me if I will type these qoutes directly in Polytonic Greek 
(therefore I have a special keyboard layout from GreekKeys).


What should I write in my tex document so that ConTeXt understands the UTF-8 glyphs 
that I am typing with Polytonic Greek?

Did you try
\enableregime[utf8]

[NTG-context] Re: How to use PostScript font

2004-08-19 Thread Patrick Gundlach
Hello Hans,

[.. psnfss fonts ..]

 Concerning those fonts, there are differences between distributions:
 different metrics, different subpaths, urw instances either or not
 present; i got the feeling that sometimes fixes/changes take place
 when a font contributer finds out that his/her system does not work
 thereby breaking other things); unfortunately much of those pieces of
 distributions are dictated by what latex wants to see instead of being
 generic

Well, we are talking about the fonts required by the psnfss (latex)
system. Those should be all the same for all systems. The files typset
should be completely portable. Maybe the outcome doesn't look right,
but I doubt it will. I'd like to hear about any problems with psnfss
not being compatible among distributions. 

And the argument about being too LaTeXy: the encoding of these files
is not LaTeX specific (besides from the fact that LaTeX can only
handle T1/OT1 encoding right), so what is not generic about them?

[...]

 I get errors. I am using Fedora Core 2 with teTex 2.02. 

the ConTeXt in tetex 2.02 should be new enough to handle what Mari
and I have pointed out.

Please post an error message on the things that we have written. (But
I doubt you will get any.)

Very quietly shhh - I just wish some one would make TeXFont work in Mac 
OSX from GW.
