Re: [NTG-context] Font Problem
It appears that context is not yet installed, you must run the installation script from the application root: sh install.sh Le mer. 10 nov. 2021 à 22:16, skyhorse--- via ntg-context < ntg-context@ntg.nl> a écrit : > > > I'm using the linux version which is about a week to two weeks old. > I've installed in in: > /opt/context-lmtx > > Which now contains the directories: > $ ls /opt/context-lmtx > --> bin context-linux-64.zip installation.pdf install.sh tex > > Does this help in getting closer to solving the font problem for ubuntu > that I'm using with the stand alone? > > > Wolfgang Schuster wrote: > > > skyhorse--- via ntg-context schrieb am 07.11.2021 um 22:06: > > > I am a beginner and not well versed on font processing needs yet. > > > > > > I tried the following simple example, but get an error. > > > I am using the standalone context: "txrun | ConTeXt TDS > Runner Tool 1.32" > > > > Which one, there is one available from the ConTeXt wiki [1] and > > another one from the Pragma website [2]. > > > > [1] https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation > > [2] https://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm > > > > It helps also to tell us which system you're using (Windows, Linux etc.). > > > > Wolfgang > > > > ___ > 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://context.aanhet.net > archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > > ___ > ___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

That looks right for the root directory but there's a lot more than that for a working install, of course. In your first email you said you used the command "txrun": I've no idea what that is because I've never needed it. I just use the 'context' command so all you need do to check the install is working is (from your home directory) to run the command $ context --version If that gives sensible output (about 6 lines) then do $ context my_example.tex where "my_example.tex" is the name of the file containing your maths expression example as plain text. Hopefully you will get a successful run through resulting in a 'my_example.pdf' file containing a typeset version of the expression. If after that it's still not working then report back to this mailing list with the error details.

Re: [NTG-context] Font Problem
I'm using the linux version which is about a week to two weeks old. I've installed in in: /opt/context-lmtx Which now contains the directories: $ ls /opt/context-lmtx --> bin context-linux-64.zip installation.pdf install.sh tex Does this help in getting closer to solving the font problem for ubuntu that I'm using with the stand alone?

Hi Julian, I’m glad to read that it worked for you. I didn’t realize that there was a "repeat" option in \definelayer. I use "state", since it contains more values to be chosen from. I guess "state=repeat" and "repeat=yes" get the same result.

Re: [NTG-context] Concerning \installparameterhashhandler and family
On 11/9/2021 8:01 PM, Jairo A. del Rio via ntg-context wrote:
Hi. Reading at mult-aux.mkxl, I've seen command handlers define, among
others, \installparameterhashhandler, However, in files such as those
related with symbol management, only \installparameterhandler and
\installsetuphandler are. When writing basic modules, sometimes only the
"raw" macros above are actually needed. So, what are "parameterset",
"hashhander", "rootparameterhandler", etc. for? Where would they ease
module writing? Thank you a lot and sorry for the long question.
The ones you mention are the lowest level ones and mechanisms that use
them are oned that don't really have much to manage (like symbols and
languages and fonts and so, these are core mechanisms on their own and
need additional interfaces. There's also the matter of performance:
anything key/value driven can have a performance hit so the more one
wraps the worse it can get. (The mkii and mkiv/lmtx methods differe
fundamentally, where in principle the mkii approach is faster but in
practice mkiv/lmtx works out better. A typical case where usage in the
end determines performance more than the implementation.)
For modules: don't go too low level. Not all helpers in modules like
mult-aux are meant for usage outside well known situations. Just like
some low level helpers in syst-aux stay around for compatibility.
In fact, one of the ideas behind luametatex/lmtx is to get rid of
"complex" middle layers where the language itself can do it, so:
\protected\def\foo[#1]{\dosingleempty\dofoo}
\def\dofoo[#1]{...}
in mkii/mkiv can now be:
\tolerant\protected\def\foo[#1]{...}
(1) less code
(2) somewhat faster
(3) looks nicer (for me much is about looks)
but I guess that you already know that,
