Ok, thanks Luigi.
This is how I sorted it out, hope it may help someone. It looks like I
should write a typescript and a symbol definition file, but I new to this
and don't know how to do it yet.
This is a workaround for the meantime:
- Download the free True Type font Zapf Dingbats BT from
http://www.ufonts.com/fonts/zapf-dingbats-bt.html
- You should have got the file ufonts.com_zapf-dingbats-bt-2.ttf or an EXE
file -an installer-
- In windows 7 it may be installed by clicking install -context menu,
right mouse click-
- Generate Context font database:
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
- Check it's been read:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=zapf*
- You should have several lines like zapfdingbatsbt
zapfdingbatsitcbybtregular
c:/windows/fonts/ufonts.com_zapf-dingbats-bt-2.ttf
- Finally this is how I get the characters I need:
\definefont[zapfdingbats][ufonts.com_zapf-dingbats-bt-2.ttf at 10pt]
\starttext
Testing: {\zapfdingbats \char109} %shadowed white circle
\stoptext
in the distrubution from the contextgarden
\definefont[zapfdingbats][ZapfDingbats]
should work as well

[NTG-context] transluency/transparency

[NTG-context] ebook from project: hyphenation lost

One bug I can nail down is: As soon as I add \setupbackend[export=yes] to my environment, all hyphens are lost! I.e. hyphenation takes place, but there’s no hyphen (an no space left for it).

Re: [NTG-context] ebook from project: observations/oddities
I might not be able to help you with an automated output using context, but I can recommend a very good book on e-book creation. Elizabeth Castro (ISBN 978-0321734686) discusses a sample e-book line by line of the source code, how to create it, validate it (http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/) etc. You can find the sources of her sample e-book online at: http://www.elizabethcastro.com/epub/examples/ . There is some other useful stuff, too. I just started to implement some of the info I gathered in my context module for my book project, so I cannot give concrete advise,yet :( But I made the TOC etc. 'by hand' to to try if it would work with the validator, kindle, calibre and so on. Just the xhtml was automatically created (and tweaked a little). It does not take as much time as it seems, we were able to have a validated e-pub with a sample chapter in a day.

Ok, some days later I'm still not where I'd like to be (and my

Let’s resume:
A running text is to be interrupted by spans of 3 pages.
Postponing (\startpostponing) works well for that, but I need to
switch
off page numbering on two of that 3 pages - as far as I tried,
\setuppagenumbering as well as \setuppagenumber doesn’t work within
postponed sections.
Further, these pages contain full-page pictures, i.e. I need them
bleeding off the paper.
Normally, \setlayer works well for that, but I couldn’t get layers
working within postponed sections.
Since I need these interruptions several times in a very similar
way, I
\def’ed that postponing stuff as a macro, but get errors that point
to
expanding problems (I never get those).
I’d appreciate some pointers in which direction I should
think/investigate further.
E.g.
- are there alternatives to postponing? perhaps multi-page floats
(but
at defined pages)?
- is there a possibility for bleeding full-page pictures without
layers?
- can it work at all to change page numbering within a postponed
page span?
maybe
\startmakeup[page]
page a
\stopmakeup
Good hint. I setup:
\definemakeup[rightpage][page=right]
\definemakeup[leftpage][page=left]
and get empty right/left pages from within my macro.
Can I control if the content after a markup starts on a right or left
page?
Further, if I try to use postponing in a macro, I get errors:

[NTG-context] Multiple layers question
Hi,
I'd like to put a few things, placed absolutely on the page. I thought
that layers are a good tool, but I can't make them do what I want.
Assume that I want to have Some text near the top of the page and a
huge X centered. I did this:
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=bkg]
\definelayer[bkg][x=0mm,y=0mm,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\setlayer[bkg]
{\framed[frame=off,width=\paperwidth,height=50mm]
{\switchtobodyfont[10mm]\tt Some text}}
\setlayer[bkg]
{\framed[frame=off,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
{\switchtobodyfont[240mm]\tt X}}
\starttext
\null
\stoptext
but only one layer appears (the Some text one). What am I doing
wrong? Is there a better way to do it?
TIA

Since font loading is delayed until \starttext, you need to load a
font when you set up your layers.

[NTG-context] setupcaptions stopper and separator
Hi all,
while trying to figure out all the functions that setupcaptions has, I stumbled
trying to make stopper and separator work.
MnWE:
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\starttext
\section{One}
\setupcaptions [figure]
[way=bysection,prefixsegments=section,separator={A},stopper={B},suffix={C}]
\startplacefigure[title={A rectangle with a caption. Not very
interesting.},reference=fig1]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=0.5\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure
\in{Figure}[fig1]
\stoptext
As far as I understand it, the separator changes the dot between the section
and the figure number and the stopper is placed right after the figure number
and used in references as well (which is different from suffix). Is that
correct?

[NTG-context] mtx-epub.lua
Hello all, while working on my ebook, I found the following issues in mtx-epub.lua. Once a successful run is done, there is no need to try the other zippers. It also gives error messages, although everything is already done. Fix is attached. Then, I got confused about the error messages appearing 3 times and found an issue in texlua of TL2011 (beta-0.70.1-2011062107) as well as the newest standalone (beta-0.70.2-2012052309). Consider the following example: print(os.execute(abcxyz)) This gives in Lua 5.2: sh: abcxyz: command not found nil exit127 But in texlua it does: sh: abcxyz: command not found 32512 This breaks the if conditional which becomes true, although there is no abcxyz command. If there are if statements such as this one in other places, they would not work as intended either. Andy 274,279c274,281 if os.execute(format(zipper.uncompressed,epubfile,mimetype)) then os.execute(format(zipper.compressed,epubfile,META-INF)) os.execute(format(zipper.compressed,epubfile,OPS)) done = zipper.name else list[#list+1] = zipper.name --- if not done then if os.execute(format(zipper.uncompressed,epubfile,mimetype)) then os.execute(format(zipper.compressed,epubfile,META-INF)) os.execute(format(zipper.compressed,epubfile,OPS)) done = zipper.name else list[#list+1] = zipper.name end ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

I don't know if the alignment key “bottom” is even supported. At
