No.  You can get them from http://www.stixfonts.org/

[NTG-context] question about STIX fonts (versions one and two)

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

\setupbodyfont[stixtwo]
\starttext
\input zapf
\stoptext

Even if \setupbodyfont[stix] is used, I don’t get any text. The fonts
seem to be missing.

I have checked this with a new ConTeXt Suite install and the same results.

Are the STIX fonts distributed with the ConTeXt Suite?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Let me quote the TeXbook (page 195):

»Although formulas within a paragraph always break after binary operations and 
relations, displayed
formulas always break before binary operations and relations.«

On the other hand, right above this paragraph, it says:

»It's quite an art to decide how to break long displayed formulas into several 
lines; TeX never
attempts to break them, because no set of rules is really adequate.«

Re: [NTG-context] typesetting serial letters in Context

[r . ermers]

Dear Context’ers,

I am trying to use the letter module in mkiv for typesetting serial letters 
from an xml database.

Thanks, Thomas for looking into this. I appreciate it very much. Yet I don’t 
know either whether I actually need the letter module, but it seemed reasonable 
to try this first.

Today I tried to insert some simple luatex code which I found on another forum.

The results are promising:

a. The address appears.
b. The salutation + formalname also appear.

Yet there are some problems:

1. the address elements appear in one line, not underneath as desired,
2. When I add text such as Knuth or references to the database, Context stops.

See the code below.

My question at this point is: how can I proceed? Do I actually need the letter 
module?

Kind regards,

Robert

Yes, you are right. 
To start a new line with a sign may be a preference  of me and some others.
I found a document which illustrates the different displays of a long equations 
in LaTeX.

https://www.andy-roberts.net/res/writing/latex/longeqns.pdf 


I think that I ask you too much. 
You may leave it to user to choose.

Thank you for the example that I just saw. It looks good to me.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Dear Hans,

I updated ConTeXt beta today and run your sample for long formula.
It works nice and it is the feature what many math people want I think.
Thank you for your concern.

One thing that I’d like say is that a new line in the splitted long formula 
usually starts with operations in many math books.
But, in the ourput  of your example, every line ends with ‘+’ sign and begin a 
new line with a ‘number’.

Would you please check it once more?

this is how tex works: just look at inline math

i played with it a bit but had to adapt the engine for a bit more 
control (stepwise the matyh machinery is opened up i.e. hard coded steps 
become configureable)


anyway, the question is not implementing but control: it's not default 
tex behaviour so it has to be turned on (and then after a while we 
forget that it can be turned on i guess)


(no clue what keyword to use for controling it)

Hans
