Re: [NTG-context] Dense encoding, part II
Hi, Here is my two cents: I agree with Mojca that lots of accents (both uppercase and lowercase) would be nice to have, just in case. I would really like to see the ascii versions of the keyboard symbols: circumflex, doublequote and tilde etc. (Texnansi normally has a sort of orphaned accent instead of the ascii symbol, which is not all that usable) Then there are straightforward symbols like copyright, registered and trademark; The currencies (at least euro, dollar, pound, yen, but preferably many more) A set of itemization bullets and dashes (some fonts have square ones) The 'text-style' calculus operations like multiply and divide, plus and minus, plusminus, arrowleft and arrow right, text fractions. I guess there are still missing punctuation characters as well. Also, as many units and symbols that can appear in running text as possible please. centigrade and perthousan, but also some greek letters like micro, Ohm, alpha beta (biology), gamma (radiology). These symbols are normally considered part of the text, so they should not depend on math mode. For example, if your write \beta-blocker, you want the \beta to be bold sans-serif inside a bold sans-serif section head.

Re: [NTG-context] Reconfigure mpgraph
Sebastian Sturm wrote: Hi, I'd like to use the Metapost graph module together with the Euler math fonts. Unfortunately, mpgraph seems to expect its label font to have the decimal dot at position 46/2E, whereas according to \showfont the eurm10 dot is at position 58/3A. This results in Metapost omitting all dots from the tick mark labels. Is there an easy way to reconfigure mpgraph (I looked at the source code, but that seems very confusing to me) to look for its dots at the other position? Can't you use an Euler text font? These have the dot in the right place. Cheers, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Reconfigure mpgraph
Can't you use an Euler text font? These have the dot in the right place. Cheers, Taco Hi, I'm not sure what font you're referring to; it would at least have to include all the Euler digits. I tried zeurm10, but it has a right-pointing triangle at position 2e. The fonts in my bluesky/euler subdirectory (euex, eufb, eufm, eurb, eurm, eusb and eusm) also don't work. Can you tell me the name of the text font including the dot? Thanks for your answer, Sebastian ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] formats for ConTeXt-XeTeX
Hi, again, after an i-installer update, my ConTeXt-XeTeX typesetting failed. Probably I'd never understood how to make the required formats (what command, what order) properly... Can someone please tell me what's the right way for using ConTeXt-XeTeX and ConTeXt-pdfeTeX? Thank you, Steffen ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] using symbols in MetaFun
Mojca Miklavec wrote:
The problem is that I don't know:
- how to use symbol sets inside MetaFun (verbatimtex \usesymbols[jmn]
etex doesn't work here)
- how to enable
label(btex \convertnumber{gnuplot}{5} etex, (x,y))
to work properly in metafun (no luck with verbatimtex ... etex again)
Any hints would be appreciated.
I am very much a beginner at metafun, so the following is probably
garbage, but to its defence I can say that it actually achieves the
goal :)
There are two files:
% myenv.tex: contains the symbol definition
\usesymbols[jmn]
\defineconversion
[gnuplot]
[$\bullet$,
$\circ$,
$\star$,
x,
{\symbol[navigation 1][NextJump]}]
% end
% sym.tex: the main file
\environment myenv
\startMPinclusions
def draw_symbol(expr X, Y, Number) =
label(textext(char 92 input myenv
char 92 convertnumber{gnuplot}{
decimal Number }),(X,Y))
enddef
\stopMPinclusions
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic
draw_symbol(0,0,3);
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic
\stoptext
% end
I could not figure out how to use a 'verbatimtex' preamble either,
so this loads the myenv definition file for each label. Ugly, but
the best I can manage with my current knowledge.
Cheers,
Taco

Re: [NTG-context] Equation Numbering bug?
Aditya Mahajan wrote:
I do not understand why the second equation is numbered
It is a bug. \placeformula turns on formula number processing
(\settrue \handleformulanumber), but it never resets it.
I guess this could be done right at the end of each formula,
like so:
\unprotect
\def\dostopformula
{\doplaceformulanumber
\getvalue{\e!stop\formulaparameter\c!alternative\v!formula}%
\resetlastlinewidth
\nonoindentation
\dochecknextindentation{\??fm\currentformula}%
\egroup
\setfalse\handleformulanumber %TH, new
\dorechecknextindentation}
\protect
Hans, I am not completely sure this is the right place. Please check!
Cheers, Taco
\starttext
\placeformula \startformula \startalign[n=2]
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\NC c \NC = d \NR[+]
\stopalign \stopformula
Some text to separate equations
\startformula
e = f
\stopformula
\stoptext
I can get rid of the numbering by placing a \placeformula[-] in the
begining. But, it should not be numbered by default.

If you want both xetex and pdftex, you need to have two different format-files, both called cont-en.fmt. They need to be in two different subdirectories: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex [for pdfetex] /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/xetex [for xetex] Remove the cont-*.fmt files in the .../web2c directory and regenerate the formats with texexec.

Re: [NTG-context] [OS X TeX] formats for ConTeXt-XeTeX
OK, a while ago I've found the XeTeX page in Patrick's garden: http:// wiki.contextgarden.net/XeTeX Now it works with both (pdfetex and xetex). Works fine in Terminal: texexec --xtx text.tex But the next problem is TeXShop. How do I trigger ConTeXt-XeTeX in TeXShop? The only solution I've found is: 1) start the document with %program=xetex 2) in TeXShop's menu choose Typeset: ConTeXt and Personal Script This will typeset a ConTeXt file with XeTeX. But at the end of TeXShop's log it says: This script has been deprecated. Please call simpdftex latex test.dvi instead. So, what was wrong? What's the correct way?
