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
[NTG-context] Reconfigure mpgraph
Hi, I'd like to use the Metapost graph module together with the Euler math fonts. Unfortunately, mpgraph seems to expect its label font to have the decimal dot at position 46/2E, whereas according to \showfont the eurm10 dot is at position 58/3A. This results in Metapost omitting all dots from the tick mark labels. Is there an easy way to reconfigure mpgraph (I looked at the source code, but that seems very confusing to me) to look for its dots at the other position?

[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?

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.

[NTG-context] Upright greek with Fourier
Hi, I'm using the Fourier Utopia Fonts together with the latest stable i-Installer ConTeXt package. I'd like to access Fourier's upright greek alphabet, especially the large omega. However, the font including that character doesn't seem to be used in math-fou.tex. I tried all characters of mi (standard math) as well as many characters of sy and the ex one (using \definemathsymbol [otheromega] [ord] [...] [...]). I guess I'd have to define a font synonym pointing to the right font file, but my attempts didn't produce anything but garbage. At the moment I'm using \getglyph{fourier-ml}{173}, which is stupid but functional. So, can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Sebastian ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
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.

[NTG-context] Another question regarding Fourier
Hi, I noticed that \rightrightarrows still produces the CM double arrows when using the Fourier fonts. I know that it is possible to combine two single arrows and position them vertically using \raise and \lower, but I guess that there has to be some less clumsy solution. Or maybe the Fourier distribution is already supposed to include double arrows, in which case it would be a configuration issue?

[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] Re: Disable Metapost rendering?
p pictures only if needed. So how does it determine whether a recalculation is necessary or not?

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()?

[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.

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).

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!

Re: Re[2]: [NTG-context] Known nath bugs?
Hi, Yes, this is generally true. All modules should get loaded before \starttext. Well, I had loaded it before \starttext in both cases. But when I loaded it in the first line of my file, it didn't adjust the delimiters; after moving the \usemodule[nath] line directly above the \starttext line, it worked like a charm. Maybe I produced some garbage inbetween. :-) However, the units module still isn't working when nath is loaded. Is it supposed to? [...] Anyway, it looks like the fix is easy: the problem is that dimension commands are not protected (unexpandable). [...] Thank you very much, I'll try that. If it doesn't work, I can still get along without units, though it would have been nice to have that too. BTW, is there some kind of manual on aligning nath equations? I tried to align multiline equations using \startalign, but that only worked (in display mode) as long as no delimiters were used; \[ \startalign a &= (b \\ b &= c) \stopalign \] always produced an error message saying that I had left out an "}". I probably made some mistake, so a tutorial on aligning equations with nath would be great. The nathguide.pdf mentions eqnarray, but I guess that's not available in ConTeXt, or is it?

[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.

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.
