Re: [NTG-context] new beta
OK, I think I got the new beta working now under OS X. David Munger's
suggestions were key (thanks a lot!). I had to apply both fixes,
AFAICS:
1. Open $TEXMF/web2c/context/config/texexec.rme. line 68-69 are
set TeXFormatFlag to
set MpFormatFlag to
and need to be modified like so
set TeXFormatFlag to \
set MpFormatFlag to \
2. Open $TEXMF/scripts/context/perl/texexec.pl. line 2442-2444 are
unless ( $dosish !$escapeshell ) {
$cmd =~ s/[^\\]\/\\\/io ;
}
and should become
unless ( $dosish !$escapeshell ) {
$cmd =~ s/([^\\])\/$1\\\/io ;
}
3. After that, run texexec --make en metafun and texhash again, and you
should be in business.
Will try the same under my (gentoo) linux system later today.
Thanks everybody for getting this fixed!
Best
Thomas

somehow reads a mapfile that ConTeXt provides and then complains
about missing font. So I have to use the prior beta.
delete the pdftex,map file in the fonts/map/pdftex/context path
(i fixed the beta zip)

Hyphenation-paterns was:Re: [NTG-context] justification
Hi Hans, For me that is fine.

(I set up ConTeXt on two Macs, once with teTeX and once with TeXLive, and on a Mac running Mandrakelinux and teTeX - the result was the same (same lines sticking out) on all of them). can you check if you have hyphenation? there have been pattern problems (changes in names and such) btw, doe anyone object if i ship generic context patterns in the main zip?

Me too ;-)
In fact if you use \setuptolerance[verystrict] will cause TeX to use
as few glue as possible, so the possibilities to stretch a line to
have a better breakpoint is lowered. Instead you might use
\setuptolerance[tolerant, stretch] or even
\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]
I'd suggest
\setuptolerance[{horizontal,verytolerant,stretch},{vertical,strict}]
German has that many long words that I never get nice columns without
stretch.

Re: [NTG-context] new beta
Hi Thomas, Thanks for trying, but it is not the correct way. Sorry for being unclear. The point is that shell escaping was not done in the proper way. Fix 1 used to do it in the configuration file (texexec.ini) which is basically a bad idea. Shell escaping has to be done properly by texexec. Thomas A.Schmitz : OK, I think I got the new beta working now under OS X. David Munger's suggestions were key (thanks a lot!). I had to apply both fixes, AFAICS: Fix 1 should not be applied. Don't touch your texexec.ini, the right lines are the original ones: set TeXFormatFlag to set MpFormatFlag to Fix 2 has to be applied to lines 1505 _and _ 2443: $cmd =~ s/([^\\])\/$1\\\/io ; Regards, David ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] ConTeXt logo adaptation
Dear musketeers,
My favorite ConTeXt logo (from cont-log),
\def\Context
{{C\kern -.0667em\getscaledglyph{.8}\empty{O\kern -.0667emN\kern
-.0549emT\doifitalicelse{\kern-.1em}{\kern-.1667em}\lower.5ex\hbox
{E}\doifitalicelse\empty{\kern-.11em}X\kern-.055emT}}}
does not adapt to the surrounding typeface. Try
===
\definetypeface [palatino] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=ec]
\switchtotypeface[palatino]
\starttext
I love \Context\ very much!
\stoptext
===
And the logo remains in lmr. I can work around this:
===
\def\Context
{C\kern -.0667em{%
\switchtobodyfont[small]% \getscaledglyph{.7}{}% this calls lmr
O\kern -.0667emN\kern
-.0549emT\doifitalicelse{\kern-.1em}{\kern-.1667em}\lower.5ex\hbox
{E}\doifitalicelse\empty{\kern-.11em}X\kern-.055emT}}
===
but a universal solution for cont-log is needed.

[NTG-context] superior footnotes
Dear posse, 1. With footnotes, is there yet a way to define the starting numeral-mark? Say, I want my first footnote incremented so that the first notemark is , not `1' then `2', but `1234' then `1235', etc. 2. I tried a workaround: === \defineconversion[set1234][1234] \setupfootnotes [conversion=set 1234] === but a spurious numeral `1' gets typeset alongside the notemark. What am I missing? Finally, the ConTeXt footnote mechanism does not (afaik) take into account superior numerals. We need a setup option, e.g. === \setupfootnotes [numeral=superior]%inferior, normal, with % normal as default === to cut off the mechanism for automatically raising and reducing the size of the numeral (\high I presume). Yes, there is the empty (text)command=empty trick, but to use superior numerals all this should not be necessary.

Re: [NTG-context] superior footnotes
Here is an example from my webpage. This example requires that you
type in each footnote manually, and it then converts the it to a
letter:
===
\setupfootnotes[way=bytext, conversion=characters]
% set the number manually
% the next footnote will be *3*
\setnumber[footnote]{2}
The twelve labors of Hercules\footnote{Hercules had to perform 12
near-impossible tasks to become a god} were trifling in comparison
with those which my neighbors have undertaken;
===
However, I think you want just to change where the footnote starts.
Hans sent me this about 3 weeks ago. I think it works, though I have
not tested it.
\setupnumber[footnote][start=45]
