[NTG-context] Problems with Unicode and i-Installer
Hello, after installing the new ConTeXt package (same problem for 1/16 and 1/19 beta), the installation procedure reported some missing 'unic-ext.tex' file; compiling any files that used \enableregime[utf] didn't work anymore. Replacing 'unic-ext' by 'unic-exp' in the file context.tex and doing another configuration run in i-installer got rid of the error messages both during installation and compilation. So I'd like to know if there might be something wrong with my installation or if it really should say 'unic-exp.tex' in context.tex. In case (i), is there anything I could do besides rerunning the installation routines to fix my tex setup?

[NTG-context] \startalign problem
Hello, using the latest 2006/1/29 version of i-Installer's ConTeXt package, I get an error message reading ! Missing \endgroup inserted. inserted text \endgroup to be read again \halign \aligneqalignno -\prepareeqalignno \halign \ifcase \eqalignmode \or to \dis... to be read again x for the very simple input file \starttext \startformula \startalign x \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext. Examples included in core-mat also won't compile. The last i-Installer distribution (don't remember the release date) didn't show this behaviour.

Re: [NTG-context] Reconfigure mpgraph
Can't you use an Euler text font? These have the dot in the right place. Cheers, Taco Hi, I'm not sure what font you're referring to; it would at least have to include all the Euler digits. I tried zeurm10, but it has a right-pointing triangle at position 2e. The fonts in my bluesky/euler subdirectory (euex, eufb, eufm, eurb, eurm, eusb and eusm) also don't work. Can you tell me the name of the text font including the dot? Thanks for your answer, Sebastian ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Metapost font size
Hi, You can setup the font to be used in the Metapost-figure \startMPenvironment \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,8pt] \stopMPenvironment works great, thank you!

[NTG-context] Metapost font size
Hi, is it possible to change the font size of TeX labels in Metapost figures (using the textext command) to be the same as the bodyfont size in the surrounding document? Best regards, Sebastian Sturm ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Another Metafun issue
Hi,
Hello Sebastian,
I don't know much about Metafun yet, but shouldn't you use math-mode
for
\root and \frac?
oops, stupid typo. The code that didn't want to compile was
textext($\root a \of b$) and textext($\frac{a}{b}$), so I only
forgot the math signs when writing the email. Thanks for pointing that
out.
Best regards,
Sebastian

Re: [NTG-context] Re: Another Metafun issue
Hi, Well, you should post a *complete* and *minimal* examplefile showing your problem, together with the context/metafun version numbers (or logfile). This way emails like the last one can be avoided and the others can try to reproduce the problem without hassle. okay, sorry for that. I've included a simple test file and the corresponding *.log files. The error message can be found in the tmpgraph.log file. I'm using the i-Installer teTeX distribution with the main TeX package dating from 2004/05/05.

Re: [NTG-context] Re: Another Metafun issue
Hi,
any reason you use textext here? Do you need changing labels? If not,
you should use [...] draw btex $\frac{a}{b}$ etex; [...]
I thought textext was just a faster version of btex ... etex and
supposed that this would be the 'way to go', since it is a part of
MetaFun. But I checked out the btex ... etex version and that worked
out like a charm. As you can tell from my previous posts, I'm a TeX
newbie, so I don't know what's wrong here (if at all), but since it's
working now and there is no noticeable speed difference, I'm happy with
it.
So, thanks for your help and best regards,
Sebastian

[NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
Hello all,
is there a list of know nath bugs somewhere on the web? I tried to find
one using Google, but unfortunately without success.
The reason I'm asking this is that I'm encountering some problems with
the module and would like to know if they are common or if it's related
to my configuration. First of all, using the units module together with
nath doesn't seem to work - for instance, $1\Micro\Coulomb$ works as
expected without nath, but produces the error message Please don't say
\def cs{...}, say \def\cs{...} when used together with nath. I also
thought that delimiters like ( or [ should automatically adjust to the
formula they contain, but (\sum_{something}
\frac{something}{something}) only produces standard parentheses.
Commands like \lbrace or \lbrack work as expected, though.
If these problems are unknown, I can post a small example file and my
logfile.
Best regards,
Sebastian

Re: [NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
Hi, the delimiter sizing is working now; i had to load the module directly before \starttext. However, the units module still isn't working when nath is loaded. Is it supposed to? Best regards, Sebastian ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: Re[4]: [NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
Hi,
Nath is a very complex module, easily broken. If you can
privately send me your preamble we might be able to find what
was breaking it. Or you can try it yourself: move it up line by
line until delimiters don't work anymore: you'll find what
makes it bomb :)
OK, I'll try that. At the moment I'm having all kinds of issues with
nath (even without any preamble at all), like \binom{\frac 12}{a} not
working, \to, \ot and \otto arrows not adjusting to the lengths of
their subscripts, etc... and I can hardly imagine that all of these are
nath bugs, so maybe something's wrong with my TeX installation. I'm
using the latest i-Installer teTeX for MacOS X package (with non-beta
ConTeXt version), configuration files unchanged.
So if someone else is using nath with Gerben Wieda's teTeX
installation, it would be helpful to know if he/she is experiencing
similar problems.
Anyway, the nath module looks very promising; I'm really looking
forward to its next revision!
Best regards,
Sebastian

Re: Re[6]: [NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
Hi, If you could please provide some example file showing the problems, I'll see if I can nail them down. the problem with delimiter autosizing seems to be caused by MPenvironment; however, the problem with subscripts still seems very strange to me (since superscripts work as expected). I've included a test file and the PDF generated by my TeX installation. Best regards, Sebastian nath_test.tex Description: TeX document nath_test.log Description: Binary data nath_test.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document
Re: Re[8]: [NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
I will look into the interaction with MPenvironment. To solve the subscript problem, please change line 2738 of t-nath.tex from \ifdim\wd\!!boxa[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] to \ifdim\wd\!!boxa[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the definition of \axis@) and let me know how it works. Hi, works perfectly, thanks! Best regards, Sebastian ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Disable Metapost rendering?
Hi,
I really like ConTeXt's MP processing features, but as soon as I
include more than five or six MP graphics in a document, typesetting
slows down to a crawl. As far as I know, the PSTricks package has some
option to only process a given range of the figures defined in the TeX
file and reuse the existing output for the other ones. Is there a
similar function in ConTeXt?
Some global command like \donotrerender[1-n] would be great, a
processing tag for each figure like
\startuseMPgraphic{...}[rerender=no] would be perfect.
Best regards,
Sebastian Sturm

Re: [NTG-context] Re: Disable Metapost rendering?
Hi, that sounds very promising - especially --automp, since I don't really want to change my ConTeXt script everytime I changed a MP figure. Including --automp in my script file, however, didn't stop ConTeXt from recalculating my MP figures every time I typeset the document, even though I hadn't changed them in the meantime. I couldn't find anything about automp in the TeXExec manual, but the --help option tells me that automp causes it to render mp pictures only if needed. So how does it determine whether a recalculation is necessary or not? Is it a problem if my figures rely on the randomizers, like uniformdeviate()? Best regards, Sebastian Sturm ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

p pictures only if needed. So how does it determine whether a recalculation is necessary or not? Is it a problem if my figures rely on the randomizers, like uniformdeviate()? indeed, that can be solved by setting the random seed occasionally or manually \setupsystem[random=big] % or random=12345 Great, thanks alot!

[NTG-context] Protruding Utopia italic
Hi,
I'm using the Utopia/Fourier setup
\setupfontsynonym [fourier][handling=normal]
\setupfontsynonym [Serif][handling=normal]
\setupfonthandling [normal][left=1,right=1]
\usetypescript [fourier][ec]
\setupbodyfont [fourier,10pt]
\setupalign [hanging]
and it works great so far, except that protruding seems to be disabled
when typesetting in \italic or slanted style. How can I activate
hanging alignment of italicized text?
I'd also like to know how to use the \mathcal-Alphabet included in the
Fourier package. $\text{\cal{...}}$ only generates the standard
calligraphic letters known from Computer Modern.
BTW, I'm using the latest i-Installer version of ConTeXt/teTeX on OS X.

Re: [NTG-context] Protruding Utopia italic
\setupfontsynonym [fourier][handling=normal] \setupfontsynonym [Serif][handling=normal] \setupfonthandling [normal][left=1,right=1] \usetypescript [fourier][ec] \setupbodyfont [fourier,10pt] \setupalign [hanging] Sorry for that stupid question. It works great after including the line \setupfontsynonym[SerifItalic][handling=italic](or [handling=normal]). However, I would have thought that any changes made to Serif affected all kinds of serif text, including serif italic. In my opinion, it would be a bit more intuitive if Serif was named SerifRoman. I'd still like to know how to use that calligraphic alphabet, though. Best regards, Sebastian Sturm ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Upright greek with Fourier
Wow, that was quick. Thanks alot for the typescript; combining upright greek capitals and the italic miniscules is exactly what I want; I think I should now be able to do that using the script as a starting point. Thanks again! Sebastian Unfortunately, I couldn't find a quick hack to override Fourier-Math- Letters-Italic using the pre-existing typescripts, so attached is a new typescript file, to be used like: \usetypescriptfile[type-fup] \usetypescript[fourier-upright][ec] \setupbodyfont[fourier-upright] \starttext \showmathcharacters \stoptext [If you wanted to use upright capital greek letters and italic greek miniscules, then that would mean assigning a fifth math font and writing a new math-fou variant.] Hope that helps! adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
