Hi all,

I use replacements to break unwanted ligatures in German text. This 
works in the text body, but not in footnotes. How can this be achieved 
in footnotes as well? Example attached!


Thanks

Thomas

The feature is disabled in footnotes and you have to reenable it:

Looks like it’s not about interword spacing and kerning in itself, but their 
*adjustment*.

I didn’t look into that docs, but I’d assume, tracking refers to some logging 
or visualization of spacing.
AFAIR ConTeXt can do that very nicely (while I never used it and don’t know how 
to enable it).

Then they are not random!

Why not save your chosen "random" paths to files?

[NTG-context] Square pens and dash pattern

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

There appears to be a metapost bug with square pens and dash patterns:

\starttext

\startMPcode
pickup pencircle scaled 1bp;
drawarrow origin -- (5cm, 4cm) dashed evenly;
pickup pensquare scaled 1bp;
drawarrow origin -- (5cm,-4cm) dashed evenly;
\stopMPcode

\stoptext

Note that the second arrow is not dashed at all! This is not due to the 
thick pen.

My concern was based on this introduction (on title page), especially on that 
sentence marked with asterisks:


Note that character protrusion requires pdfTeX (version 0.14f or later), 
LuaTeX, or
XeTeX (at least version 0.9997). Font expansion works with pdfTeX (version 1.20 
for
automatic expansion) or LuaTeX. The package will by default enable protrusion 
and
expansion if they can safely be assumed to work. Disabling ligatures requires 
pdfTeX
(≥ 1.30) or LuaTeX, 


while the adjustment of interword spacing 
and of kerning only works with pdfTeX (≥ 1.40). 

*

Letterspacing is available with pdfTeX (≥ 1.40) or LuaTeX (≥ 0.62).



> 3 - i have no clue what tracking is

As explained in that document this seems to be a synonym for letter spacing, 
which is IMO supported.

> 4 - neither what additional kerning is (unless you mean (usually ugly)
> extra inter character kerning, which is supported)

Rereading the description in that document there is no advanced processing 
behind it, so most likely just that ugly kerning, already available in ConTeXt. 
Just curious why not mentioned as supported on the title page.

> 5 - it being a rather core tex feature, normal interword spacing is
> supported

This seems to be a standard glue with plus/minus value. Again, curious why not 
mentioned as supported on the title page.

Are you aware of any typographic feature which is available in pdfTeXt, but not 
in ConTeXt?

Thnaks, Jan

[NTG-context] Consistent random number generation

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

Is it possible to generate consistent random numbers across multiple 
operating systems. For example, consider the following file:


math.randomseed(1000)
print(math.random())
print(math.random())
print(math.random())

If I process this using texlua, the output on linux and MacOS is 
different. Is it possible to get consistent output?


Rationate: I use randomization to randomize certain paths in metapost. Not 
all randomly generated paths look okay, so I play around with the seed 
until I get a good path. But I have to repeat this process everytime I 
update my distribution and if I compile on different machines.


Thanks,
Aditya

when you install context from the context garden in

/foo/bar/context

using the first-setup script, you can just run that script again in 
order to update your installation

[NTG-context] Fwd: BachoTeX 2016: deadline extensions

[Mojca Miklavec]

Dear ConTeXters & LuaTeXers,

There's no such great opportunity as the wonderful conference BachoTeX
in Poland to get your TeX projects done, getting hold of some
handcrafting skills (book binding, calligraphy, ...) and to brainstorm
your ideas with Hans, Luigi (and many others) while enjoying a cup of
coffee, sunbathing or swimming in a lake, or just relaxing around a
bonfire. Children and families welcome (even in the conference room).

Link: http://www.gust.org.pl/bachotex/2016-en

Be warned: the attendance is highly addictive :)

Mojca

-- Forwarded message --
From: Jerzy Ludwichowski

Dear prospect BachoTeX participants and authors,

the deadline for BachoTeX registrations has been extended to the 10th
of April 2016, which means that no "late penalty" will be levied.

We still do accept paper proposals -- please help to make the
conference a success!

To whet your appetite please note that among others these are but
a few speakers: Norbert Preining (specially from Japan!), Hans Hagen,
Willi Egger, Arthur Reutenauer, Ulrik Vieth, Bogus\law Jackowski or
Marek Ryćko (no offense intended to others, not mentioned here!)

Program details will be posted at the conference page(s) a.s.a.p.

Please hurry to register, so we can finalize planning.

See you there,

for the Organizing Committee
(-) Jerzy Ludwichowski
