[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Resetting Page Backgrounds
I have written Python classes to automate reading a Tumblr blog and writing a
file for processing by ConTeXt. No manual editing of the ConTeXt input file is
allowed.
Photos are incorporated in a graphic created using METAPOST commands embedded
in the ConTeXt input file. Then the graphic is used as a background. I need
this background to appear only on one page.
My current solution is to use TeX conditionals to test if the page number has
incremented, then reset the background to empty. This approach fails in many
cases. The code below provides a minimum working example of a failure. Photos
are shown as squares to reduce the size of this post.
Is there a better way to reset the background?

You can also use \framed[width=2.73in,

[NTG-context] Escaping a special character in a MetaPost figure within a ConTeXt document fails
I have escaped the '#' character in the usual way, using a backslash, as '\#'

[NTG-context] Tracking in MKII and MKIV
I am automating the creation of books using ConTeXt with a graphic design
graduate student at the Rhode Island School of Design.
The book cover is created using MetaPost inside a ConTeXt source file.
The graphic designer tells me it is very common to specify the interletter
spacing, or tracking, and in fact, he considers this capability to be essential.
I understand that these, so called, microtypography capabilities are present in
pdfTeX fully, but only partially present in LuaTeX (protrusion and expansion),
although tracking can be set in a way using \kerncharacters[0.5] in LuaTeX.
However, the quality of the typesetting produced by LuaTeX is completely
inadequate, while the quality of the typesetting produced by pdfTeX is very
good.
Am I miss-understanding the differences in capability between pdfTeX and LuaTeX
in this regard?
Relevant examples follow and PDFs are attached.
I processed the following ConTeXt source file using MKII:

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Command Differences between Tex Live and Minimals
In general, where do I look to resolve differences between ConTeXt commands which work using the Tex Live distribution, but which do not work using the Minimals distribution. I am thinking of switching to the Minimals distribution since I can keep it more current, and it appears to resolve a problem hyphenating URLs which contain multiple, adjacent hyphens. Specifically, the command \inothermargin is not recognized when using the Minimals distribution. While I would appreciate a solution to this issue, I would very much appreciate knowing where to look to resolve the issue myself. I have consulted the most recent documentation, and searched the ConTeXt wiki. Tex Live Distribution reports: MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.24 13:05 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.2-2010071217 (TeX Live 2010) (rev 3736) Minimals Distribution reports: mtx-context | current version: 2011.05.18 18:04 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051923 (rev 4277) ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Command Differences between Tex Live and Minimals
Perfect, I can compare sources...here's what I find:
== Tex Live Distribution ==
MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.24 13:05
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.2-2010071217 (TeX Live 2010) (rev 3736)
# cd /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base
# grep inothermargin *
page-mar.mkii:\def\inothermargin{\inother}
== Minimals Distribution ==
mtx-context | current version: 2011.05.18 18:04
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051923 (rev 4277)
# cd /opt/context-current/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base
# grep inothermargin *
page-mar.mkii:\def\inothermargin{\inother}
So it appears that the command \inothermargin is defined in both
distributions. However...
\starttext
\inothermargin{donald}\input knuth
\stoptext
works in Tex Live but not in Minimals.

I'm afraid that the only option is to compare the sources
(tex/gereric/context/base).
(It is not very common that newer version doesn't support an older
command though, while the reverse is often true.)
Tex Live Distribution reports:

You can install TeX Live 2011 if you want to use a more recent version
of ConTeXt.

Re: [NTG-context] Creation of PDF Oddly Differs on Ubuntu and Mac OS X
A Lulu developer was able to find out that the original error was coming out of
the PDFLib library:
{error_type:PDFlibException,error_value:Handle parameter or option of
type 'page' has bad value 0}
Does that mean anything to anyone?

As it says: Directory not empty, perhaps you could look in the finder

there is a Finder-specific file or folder there, which would mean that
the actual problem has nothing to do with the pdf itself, but just with
a difference between MacOSX and Ubuntu.
If that is true there is probably at least a file .DS_Store present on
Mac OS X (which Finder won't show).

[NTG-context] Creation of PDF Oddly Differs on Ubuntu and Mac OS X
All,
I am using ConTeXt to create a PDF for upload to Lulu.com.
I am getting the following exception using the LuLu Python publication API on
Mac OS X 10.6.6 with Python 2.6.6 or 2.7.1:
ServiceError: Couldn't create Lulu project. '{error_type:
LFilesystemException, error_value: shell command failed: rm -rf
\'/opt/stable/stable/htdocs/items/volume_69/1029/10290657\' 21\\nrm:
cannot remove directory
`/opt/stable/stable/htdocs/items/volume_69/1029/10290657/1/cover\':
Directory not empty, HTTPErrorCode: 500}'
Oddly, the exact same code works fine on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Python 2.6.5.
I have track down the issue to the difference between the _cover_ PDF created
on Ubuntu with ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.26 16:28 MKIV and on Mac OS X with ConTeXt
ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV, although the cover PDF generated on either
platform appears correctly in Preview.
I have posted an archive that illustrates the issue at
http://www.synterein.com/lulu_context_issues/lulu_context_issue_01.zip
Any wisdom out there? What should I look for next?
Ray.

Re: [NTG-context] Creation of PDF Oddly Differs on Ubuntu and Mac OS X
All,
I could have phrased my question better ... here is another attempt:
I use ConTeXt to generate a PDF for upload using the command context filename
on either Mac OS X or Ubuntu. I have installed ConTeXt by installing a TeX Live
distribution on each platform. The command completes without error on either
platform. The PDFs open in Preview (a Mac OS X application for viewing PDFs)
and appear to be correct, regardless of on which platform the PDFs were
created. However, the upload of the PDF created on Mac OS X fails, while the
upload of the PDF created on Ubuntu works.
So, there is something different about these two PDFs which I cannot determine
by opening them in an application for viewing PDFs. But I do not know what is
different, or how to find out.
I have posted an archive that illustrates the issue at
http://www.synterein.com/lulu_context_issues/lulu_context_issue_01.zip
Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
Ray.

Hello Raymond,
there’s two ways I know of: 1. for *latin* modern, use the
typescript “modern-variable”; 2. for *cm unicode*, redefine the
mono typefaces. (Of course, if yow need exactly cm then this
might not help you at all, sorry.) Here’s an example to
demonstrate both.
·8··
\usetypescriptfile[type-cmu]
\unprotect
\starttypescript [\s!mono] [computer-modern-unicode] % by default cmu does
not define the variable width mono faces
\setups[\s!font:\s!fallback:\s!mono]
\definefontsynonym [\s!Mono] [CMUTypewriter-Variable]
[\s!features=\s!default]
\definefontsynonym [\s!MonoItalic] [CMUTypewriter-VariableItalic]
[\s!features=\s!default]
\stoptypescript
\protect
\usetypescript [computer-modern-unicode] % for cmu
\usetypescript [modern-variable] % for lm
%\usetypescript [modern-variable-light]% alternative for lm
\setupbodyfont [computer-modern-unicode]
\starttext
{\tt\input knuth\par} % testing cmu
{\tt\italic\input knuth\par}% testing cmu-it
{\switchtobodyfont[modernvariable]\tt\input knuth\par} % testing lm
\stoptext
·8··
Regards, Philipp
Btw, modern-variable causes different line breaks than ordinary
lm-tt but it does not appear to be as proportional as the cmu
version. Did I do something wrong?
