[NTG-context] Border matrix

Unfortunately, I cannot attend the meeting.

I’m not especially interesting in doing the thing myself, but I want to
be able to use it.

BTW, Luigi, not including the profiles doesn’t prevent people messing
things, since they aren’t included and complaints had taken place.

Of course, I would be very interested in the results from the
discussions in the next meeting.

Hi Robert,

I don’t do math myself. I only knew from defining it for \setupitemize
(as kindly explained by Wolfgang and Hans).

The only thing is that your serif typeface won’t match its math
counterpart. But this is a cosmetic question.

Glad to read it helped,

Hi Pablo,
This works, thank you very much. 
I had tried several fonts mentioned on the ConTeX-wiki in the chapter "Using 
Math fonts in MkIV" but TeX Gyre Termes Math is not mentioned there. But 
actually it is [mm] that does the trick and I had not realized that. 
Even then several of the Math fonts mentioned did not work.

Thanks again. 

Best regards,

Robert

One of the reason to not include a color profile in the standard distribution
is that it's an advanced topic, a field for an advanced user.
It's quite easy to make pdf that looks ok, but are not ok for printing
(wrong profile for the medium)
or are invalid (it can happen if the pdf has an output intent with a
profile A, and the document has  a color with different profile B,
perhaps in an image).
On average the casual user will complain saying "ConTeXt makes wrong
pdf", perhaps  showing the result from a bugged validator
(all already happen, in several situations).

The context meeting is the best place to talk of all these issues.

Since we have ICC profiles in the ConTeXt Garden
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDFX#ICC_profiles,
http://dl.contextgarden.net/misc/iccprofiles/complete_ICC_profiles.zip),
I wonder why they aren’t part of the ConTeXt Suite.


Because they are hardly used (simply judging from feedback). Not enough
to justify a file size increase of 26.2 MByte.


Hi Peter,

how about limiting the number of profiles to the basic ones? Or how
about an option in first-setup.sh named --icc-profiles?



Different locations need different profiles. That's why there are also
the region related archives (Europe, India, Japan and USA).
You can't divide it any further than that.


We had it but it (a new var) was not accepted in tex live so we dropped 
it and context can find the files anyway.



In theory you can use the environment variable $OSCOLORDIR, but it was
dropped years ago. There were no complains or error reports about that,
so no changes were made.


Either I don’t get your point, or $OSCOLORDIR won’t work in practice.


Exactly, it doesn't work. It's still mentioned in the partly outdated
information on the garden, but there is no 'OSCOLORDIR' string anywhere
in the context tree.


And context would fallback on whatever location anyway.


Would still be the cleanest solution though. Copy the icc files once in
the corresponding directory of your OS (so that all apps can make use of
them), set the environment variable manually, and done.


I would have to do that with thirty computers. And probably I would have
to ask for permissions to copy the profiles (and set system-wide
environment variables). When a computer would have a full OS reinstall
(something far beyond my control), I would have to do that again for
that computer.

As far as I maintain ConTeXt in a common server and we use it for very
specific tasks, we only have the ConTeXt Suite installed once.

Sorry, but this isn’t practical for me (we’d only use the profiles with
ConTeXt).

I see. Still no love for 'OSCOLORDIR'. R.I.P. :D 

Many thanks for your help,


No problem, you are welcome. Looks to me like you are solving the
problem by yourself. I guess a module is a good idea.
FWIW, in colorprofiles.xml one can find the places where one can find 
the files. We could of course put copies in the garden someplace.

No. In case you want the mentioned paths you would probably use
colors/icc/
doc/context/third/t-

I leave that to others.

It's often helpful to have a tex document with the generated pdf, so
that users can also see the effect (picture is worth thousand words)
and have a working tex source they can modify, but a plain text (or
markdown) should be acceptable.
