Re: [NTG-context] [texhax] Announcing CrossTeX a a powerful drop-in replacement for BibTeX. (fwd)
Aditya Mahajan wrote: Hi, I am forwarding the announcement from texhax list. The tool looks interesting, though I have not checked if it can be used easily with Taco's bib module or not. I had a quick look at the docs and source of this tool. It does not seem to use bst files at all, so it can not be used as a drop-in for bibtex for use with the bib module. I do not 'do' python myself, so someone else will have to convert the cont-XX.bst to something crosstex does understand (python code, I guess?). Frankly, I am not overly enthused. It seem to solve none of the multi-lingual issues bibtex has. Still, improving the data description language is useful, I assume. It is definately more configurable, if you know python.

Re: [NTG-context] embedded fonts
Thanks for the tips and explanations regarding font-embedding. With this
help, I managed to detect the culprit at the last moment. I used
lettrines which by default uses small caps for the immediately
following characters.
In summary, I learned that the capitalised versions of a font (gentium)
I generated myself (texfont ... --ca=* ) are not embedded
because -- this is my conclusions -- there are only tfm and no
corresponding ttf files.
Did I use the term pseudo small caps incorrectly? I assumed that the
version I generated is pseudo because it wasn't expressly designed.
That's also how the term is used in the wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Pseudo_Small_Caps). But there is also the
possibility of \cap{}, which simply generates smaller but otherwise
normal upper case letters, and which consequently are embedded. Are they
both pseudo?
Cheers, Jörg

Hello Jörg,
I just checked your PDF. Your printshop is right, even if the font
(Gentium) *is* embedded. How's that?
You've some error in the formatting of your uppercase words after the
initial and same formatting in some subtitles - that addresses an
other Gentium face that isn't embedded - because it doesn't exist
(probably condensed).
If you can't find it yourself, show us your font and title setup!

[NTG-context] ConTeXt on Excursion: translations in the Garden
Hi all, there is a new plant in the Garden: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_on_Excursion%2C_translations It gathers translations of the beginner's manual ConTeXt on Excursion (authors Ton Otten and Hans Hagen). Currently there exist Dutch, English, and Czech versions. Czech version is a team work of translators (Ján Buša, Jiří Hrbek, Martina Plachá, Petr Tesařík, and Vít Zýka) supported by Czechoslovac TUG (CSTUG). We use as a model the English version (although the original is the Dutch one). A reader can find several additional sections dealing with localization and information sources. Non Czech readers have also some benefic as a side effect of this project. The English version was slightly actualized and fixed some bugs. All versions are acompanied by actual macro syntax and listed in the command index. Sources of all three versions are stored on the public SVN repository as a part of the ConTeXt manual project (https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextman/), administrated by Taco. There is a makefile for an easy manual generation. It is ready for adding new stuff/actualizing/fixing bugs and even for new language translation. On the Garden page we can find breaf instructions for that. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to ask me.
