For the latter you might say there is no real parametrization, but the Metatype1 sources are not available. That’s not what I understood from the papers I’ve read. The original CM fonts are parametrized, but the LM set is METATYPE1 taken from traced bitmaps of CM.

[NTG-context] Roll-Your-Own Stand-Alone (Was re. ConTeXt ultraminimals)
I'm working on ConTeXt+SciTE-on-a-USB-Stick. A downloadable program is still far off, as is a version that can be put on PortableApps.com, but I've gotten to the point of mapping out the basic parameters: • We need to have a start-up program, which will set up the environment and start SciTE and/or a command prompt. • Legacy-free is nice, but if ConTeXt+XeTeX (which I'll call mkiii whether that's an official name or no) requires texexec then we need to include Ruby anyway, so we may as well keep PDFTeX (mkii), BUT: • Since my Windows machine already has Perl, Python, Ruby, I'm going to defer working on that last point. • In fact, I'm going to defer including SciTE also, until I have a working stand-alone ConTeXt… I've put my rsync invocations on the wiki. (Since the calls are so closely tied to the directory structure of the Minimals, I added them to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Structure as an example of how to use customize them, but I'll move it if folks think it belongs elsewhere.) Also, the commands I'm using to generate my formats are on that page.

When a two-page spread is laid flat, it usually looks best if the outer margins are both approximately equal in width to the combined inner margins. The default layout takes that into account. While the binding of a book does eat some of the inner margin, it's probably less than you think (IIRC, from ¼ʺ to ½ʺ, depending on the binding method), and often the print shop can correct for that.

Re: [NTG-context] Keeping up-to-date under TeXLive
I'm trying to put everything together so potential problems are easily
identifiable, and so that a recipe or shell script can perhaps be put
on the wiki.
On Dec 23, 2007 5:08 AM, Mojca Miklavec [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Also, if you already have a working TeX distribution, you can write a
few rsync calls yourself. At
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/
you have:
- current ConTeXt
- almost-latest binaries
- fonts
any you can combine the stuff from there in some arbitrary way.
So, since I have a working TeX from Ubuntu, I want to put all the
new stuff in my TEXMFHOME (A.K.A. ~/texmf). To this end, I could
use some help putting the rsync calls together.
In each case the command will take the form rsync --recursive --perms
--compress --checksum --times --links --verbose rsync://something/
~/texmf/somewhere, which I'll abbreviate in this email as rsync
-rvzctlp rs://cg.net/minimals/current/... ~/texmf/... (so lines don't
get broken at inconvenient times).
The basic ConTeXt stuff gets pulled in, as Mojca suggested, thus:
rsync -rvzctlp rs://cg.net/minimals/current/context/current/ ~/texmf/
Next, I want to get the up-to-date binaries, for which I'd like to do
something like
rsync -rvzctlp rs://cg.net/minimals/current/bin/[*]/linux/ ~/texmf/
where I either need to write a separate line for each of {common,
context, luatex, metapost, pdftex, xetex}, or have a single command
that includes them all. (Since I intend to put this all in a shell
script, a bit of duplication isn't a problem.) This will put
/current/bin/[package]/[system]/bin/[whatever] into ~/texmf/bin/,
where I think they belong in an installed system.
The manuals seem to be in a somewhat odd place (under bin!); I'd use
rsync -rvzctlp rs://cg.net/minimals/current/bin/man/ ~/texmf/
but no programs should care where they are; this is my own use. In
fact, perhaps I should put the man pages where the man system can find
them. I'll leave this for another day.
NB: I have no idea whether I need the stuff in /current/base or
/current/misc, nor where in the texmf tree they would go.
I won't be installing any modules now, so I can ignore that part of the tree.
The fonts are, like the binaries, in a
/current/fonts/[group]/fonts/[format]/... tree, and the installed
system should have them in ~/texmf/fonts/[format]/..., so I need
another four lines of the sort
rsync -rvzctlp rs://cg.net/minimals/current/fonts/[*]/ ~/texmf/
where [*] is one of {common, new, old, other}. (Are there any I
really don't need or want?)
I add ~/texmf/bin to the front of my PATH.
And then I follow all that up with a rebuilding of the format files with
texexec -- make --all
texexec -- make --all --xtx
texexec -- make --all --lua
(Will the formats be made in TEXMFHOME or somewhere else?)
If this passes the sanity check with you guys, and if I can get
answers to the stuff I'm unsure on, I'll try it report back.

[NTG-context] Setting up a project
I'm trying a fairly ambitious project to teach myself practical ConTeXt -- typesetting a book I'm writing. As per http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure, I've created files for the project, environment, product, and component. The component file (preface.tex) is the only one with (dummy) content right now. Side questions: Does a project with a single product really require the full hierarchy? Is there a dummy layout I can put into the environment file to test the set-up? Now I want to set up the layout. An example of what I'm trying to achieve is at http://typophile.com/files/Layout.pdf, currently done in OpenOffice. I'm not yet asking about fonts; I just want to put the text in the correct places. It doesn't seem that 6×9 (inches) is a built-in size, so my environment file (env_firefly.tex) needs to look something like: \startenvironment env_firefly \definepapersize[sixbynine][ width=6in,height=9in, offset=???,scale=???] \setuppapersize[sixbynine][sixbynine] \setuplayout[... ...] \stopenvironment Do I need to define name the paper size, or is putting it in the \setuplayout sufficient? What are the offset scale in the paper size? I want to have 6″×9″ trim, inner margin of 48pt, outer margin 96pt, top margin 72pt, bottom margin 144pt for starters. Headers and footers, when they exist, are allocated 12 points height and are 12pt away from the text. (See the linked-to example.) I have read several of the manuals, I'm just having trouble putting it all together. Also, I'm not looking for a recipe but guides on developing the layout myself so I can understand it.

I use the standalone MSWinContext on a machine with MiKTeX installed. By default I run the MiKTeX binaries; when I want to play with luatex and mkiv I run a batch file to reset the environment variables. Can MSWinContext as set up by your installer work side-by-side with MiKTeX? --Joel ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

If you're concerned about the the 7 MB -- or in my case, not sure you'll remember to update all three files at once -- and you're on a machine with NTFS, you can create hard links. --Joel ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

In the minimal distribution (mswintex.zip for Windows, linuxtex.zip etc ...). So the stand-alone mswincontext.zip will have everything I need to experiment with luatex (and XeTeX)? Just trying to confirm what I think I've understood. --Joel ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
