Re: [NTG-context] Thoughts on ConTeXt: ditched

2010-01-03 Thread Piotr Kopszak
Well, well,

ConTeXt can help you if you give him a little love and don't try pull
all triggers at once. Having written my Ph.D. in LaTeX and published
couple of books in ConTeXT I can assure you, ConTeXt is surprisingly
better suited  for "scientific" texts (oops sorry, I  just mean text
with footnotes, bibliography,  a couple of indexes, list of
illustrations, definitions whatever) even if you disregard its
typographic quality. That's of course my entirely subjective opinion.

[NTG-context] Cannot make \digits work with palatino

2010-01-03 Thread Alexandre Patry
Hi,

when I use the \digits command with default fonts, everything work fine.
 However, when I set the fonts to palatino, the following documents
print "1:234;56" instead of "1.234,56"

8<-
\usetypescript[palatino][ec]
\definetypeface [palatino] [mm] [math]   [euler] [euler][rscale=1.03]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

\starttext
\digits{1.234,56}
\stoptext
8<-

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Alexandre

Re: [NTG-context] \getfiguredimensions again in mkiv

i'll look into it

concerning pt ... tex internally uses sp so this is what mkiv uses
in tex-lua communications

you can use:

\startlines
width:  \the\dimexpr\figurewidth\relax
height: \the\dimexpr\figureheight\relax
\stoplines
