Re: [NTG-context] new look for wiki

Thanks for all the praise.

ATM I have limited time for fixing issues so do not expect instant
responses or fixes. But if you have problems, it would help to list:
- browser and browser version
- OS
- Javascript on or off
- problem url

About the limited width:

max-width is expressed in ems. Zooming also zooms the width of the
page, up to the width of the window.

With a line `$wgAllowUserCss = true;' in LocalSettings.php,
users could make a page User:user name/contextskin.css with
content

body { max-width: none; }

to always use the full width of the window. But currently such a
page has no effect.

 This has been changed after the version of ConTeXt for TeX Live has
 been frozen. So you would probably have to take a recent enough
 version of ConTeXt (most probably even the version on tlcontrib is too
 old, but at least it should not be too difficult to take the most
 recent version just for testing).
 
 You can have a look at
 http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/misc/web2c/texmfcnf.lua, but
 you need a recent mtxrun for that.

Thanks for this information.

I installed instead the minimals, which do indeed avoid hard-coded
paths. I'll try to fix portability for Context in the next TeX Live
once this new version has become part of TeX Live.

 I got all sort of errors from command.com (syntax error,

If 'out of environment space' is the root of the problem, then it
should be possible to specify a larger environment when starting up

In a distant past, I used to create specialized dos boxes for TeX

This was for w95.

This comment may be way off-base since I haven't tried myself to

 that's ok with my definition of chapter style=\hw (Delitsch font

 Further (don't know how different), how could I define take this  
 special character always at the end/beginning of a word or the like,  
 e.g. how could I enable the different 's' of gothic fonts?

Can't you define this behavior with ligatures?

 Another one: How can I define additional ligatures, e.g. if my font  
 provides a Qu or some other unusual ligature?

You can add ligature specifications to an enc file, see e.g.
cork.enc. For afm2pl, you can also specify ligatures in a separate
lig file. But I don't know how to use such custom enc or lig files
in the context of the texfont utility.

 Of course you can leave colour space conversion and colour separation to
 the printer (provided the printer has the means to do so). However, for
 full control over the print colours it is better to have a calibrated
 monitor and a document in the CMYK colourspace - then you see what the
 colours a likely to look like, and dependency on the printer is reduced.
 Agencies, which prepare graphics for advertisements, pay thousands of
 Euros to be able to control the correct outcome of corporate colours or
 skin colours, for example.

CMYK is considered a device-dependent colorspace, which takes
press conditions into account. So you are more, not less dependent
on your printer by going for CMYK. At least, this is the theory.

Anyhow, it is a good idea to discuss color with your printshop if
color fidelity is an issue.

 ok; btw, also take a look at sieps afm2pl since it has some other nice

 Hans 

My belated three cents on some of the things which were discussed in
this thread:

As to texnansi: this is supported in Latex by texnansi.sty. For
Western European languages, it seems to cover pretty much
everything, so there is no need for text companion fonts or virtual
fonts. Basic support (without artificial smallcaps) for a font
family with non-virtual texnansi fonts consists of just four tfms, a
mapfile fragment and, for Latex, an fd file.

As to fontinst: doing it the easy way, using just the latinfamily
command, you get dozens of files, in 8R, T1, OT1 and TS1 encoding.
You have to be pretty expert if you want more fine-grained control
and a more economical set of support files. I don't even know
whether Fontinst can generate non-virtual texnansi fonts which are
suitable for regular typesetting. Besides, I believe that nowadays
fontinst depends on Latex.

Sorry about just mentioning Latex here: I am only an occasional
Context user, and don't use typescripts or texfont at all.

As to afm2pl: the latest version available from tex.aanhet.net is
0.6; later versions are written to be part of TeX Live 2004 which is
currently under development. Because of changes in the TDS, these
may not work correctly in an older TeX installation.

Version 0.7.02 with afm2tfm compatibility is not yet in the TeX Live
source tree, last time I checked.

Try it for a bit and see whether you like it. Some people find that
it makes things simpler and more logical. It is a different way of
working, which may or may not suit you.

For me personally, somehow Context is a bad match, and it has been
fighting all the way. Therefore I use Context only when I have to.

 I learned Context because Latex didn't suit my
 needs (concrete example: for my diploma work, my mentor required that there
 must not be Chapter heading for each chapter.. If I put \chapter*, then
 it didn't appear in the table of contents.. the solution was dirty - copy
 the report class file to local directory and edit it.. however if such a simple
 problem has such a dirty solution, how could I cope with tougher problems?

The right way to handle this would have been to copy just the
relevant code fragment to a package or classfile of your own and
modify it. The code would have looked a lot hackier than
corresponding Context code, but as long as it sits neatly tucked
away in a package of its own, you wouldn't have to let that bother
you.

LaTeX source code is generally well-documented, and much easier to
find your way around in than Context code.

For presentations there are pdfscreen and pdfslide, and David Storey
has done nteractivestuff with pdf. So don't underestimate the
possibilities of LaTeX.

 Good evening.
 
 I apologize to ask a little off-topic question, but I don't know where 
 to ask (and it is closely related to TeX and PDF).
 
 I typeset a church bulleting. It is printed on a laserjet printer (600 
 dpi), and then copied on a copy machine. As for letters, all is right. 
 But figures (photos) are this way spoiled. I guess it would help either 
 to force PDF to print the figures in some very low resolution (150 dpi), 
 or (probably better) to dither the figures and include them in PNG 
 (instead of ordinary JPEG). Can some of you tell me how to do it? I 
 tried ImageMagick's convert to dither the photos, but outcomes were 
 really poor. Is there some good free software for this (in the best case 
 in Linux)? Or can I do it some way in PDF?
 
 Many thanks for any hint.

A PostScript solution: create a dvips header file for course
rasterization:

%!
/bop-hook {53 45{dup mul exch dup mul
  add 1. exch sub}setscreen} def

These numbers (raster frequency and angle) are probably ok for
600dpi; otherwise, experiment a bit.

Call it coarse.pro and give dvips a parameter -h coarse.pro

 Willi,
 thanks for being supportive. In the meantime, I have taken another 
 step: by using tftopl, I produced a .pl-file of my font and edited it. 
 I inserted a LIGTABLE with ligature (and kerning) information. After 
 using pltotf and using the new .tfm, I had partial success: I get a lot 
 of the ligatures I want! However, a few problems remain:
 1) The space-glyph has vanished. I assume it must somehow have been 
 mismapped. Does anybody have an idea how I could remap this?

TeX doesn't use a space glyph. Instead, there is a fontdimen
space and there may be boundarychar kerns and ligatures to replace
space kerns and -ligs.

If you want more complete documentation: get a TeX source tree, run
weave on pltotf.web or vptovf.web and compile the resulting TeX
file.

 Hello out there,
 
 is there a searchable mailinglist archive anywhere on the internet?
 Slaveks archive seems to be really outdated

There is http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/, although isn't
exactly searchable.
