Re: [NTG-context] upright lowercase Greek letters in math formulas

2014-05-26 Thread Johannes Kuester

Hi Mojca,

it seems font switches do not work here.

You must define your own commands for upright Greek letters, e.g.

   \def\muup {\Umathchar  00B5 }

At least this works, maybe there is a better way to do it.

Hi,

How could I get upright lowercase Greek letters in math formulas
(provided that such a symbol exists, of course)?

Here's a minimal example:

\setupbodyfont[times]
\starttext
$15{\rm\frac{μm}{μs}}$ 15 μs
\stoptext

Thank you,
 Mojca

[NTG-context] Guttenberg's dissertation typeset in ConTeXt

Did anyone on this list know (or did anyone notice yet) that the print
version of the much-discussed dissertation by Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg
was (allegedly) typeset in ConTeXt?

I suppose by the Satz: entry on p. 5, the Wikipedia author guessed
that it was typeset in ConTeXt.

And yes, it will definitely bring some attention to ConTeXt.

The Minion Math fonts are OpenType fonts. The next release (March 2011,
hopefully) will include the OpenType MATH table. And ConTeXt support.
For ConTeXt I haven't tested yet what will work out of the box and what
will need additional support (e.g. to access additional characters
encoded in the PUA; to access the 4 weights and the optical sizes).

And yes, the fonts are commercial. But Minion itself is commercial as
well. Of course all support files (for ConTeXt, LaTeX, ...) are / will
be available for free.

Yes, it does, definitely. So it's my (or any other user's)
responsibility that the cells contain only allowed stuff.

I still have to see how to deal with large symbols (bigops and
integrals). Maybe with \blank[medium] in between (and some \smash),
so that every second line will be on the grid again.

When I typeset a similar list previously (for Detailtypografie), I still
did that in LaTeX. That required a lot of trickery and manual
correction, but at least I was able to do it (and yes, it was arranged
on a grid, but LaTeX didn't know that).

That is currently my main conceptual problem with ConTeXt: sometimes
it's too high-level and too clever, and it's hard to figure out how to
do the trickery and the tweaking ...

Each first line will be some heading, so that's not a problem in my case.

My grid-keeping list problem is solved, the module by Wolfgang serves my
purpose very well.

 There are many pdf about context;
 I try to have a 'programmer view' of these things.
 Among others, see and criticize

Nice and interesting (although I didn't had enough time to look at it

Still it's sometimes hard to find one's way through.

[NTG-context] Grid-keeping list (again)

2007-04-12 Thread Johannes Kuester
Hello,

I'm still trying to typeset a grid-keeping list (or table).
Wolfgang Schuster supplied me off-list with the attached module.
This works fine except for one problem:

Only the first few lines are placed on the grid, then the grid is lost.

After the next pass (i.e. after the next texmfstart texexec testfile),
some more lines are placed on the grid.
(So I need many passes to typeset the complete list correctly).

Why? Any idea?

(I fiddled around with \synchronizegrid, \placeongrid, \moveongrid, and
\startlinecorrection \stoplinecorrection, but none of these seems to work.)

You could try the effect with the following example:

%%

\setuplayout[grid=yes, columns=2]
\showgrid
%\showstruts

\usemodule[gridlist]

\starttext

\startcolumns[n=2, balance=no]
%% (columns are not necessary to show the effect)

\dorecurse{20}{
  \zeichen{0001}{a}{first letter}{}%
  \zeichen{0002}{b}{second letter}{}%
  \zeichen{0002}{c}{third letter, this one has a longer entry
which needs more than one line}{}%
}

\stopcolumns

\stoptext

%%


(This should result in an annotated list of mathematical symbols,
showing the Unicode number, the math symbol, and some explanation (and
where the explanation could need more than one line); quite similar to
the list I published in Detailtypografie (2nd ed. 2004), but for
another -- quite pressing -- project.)

I do not understand why this is such a problem. Basically, it's just
about paragraph boxes and their proper alignment on a grid.

To me, such a list seems like a basic typographic requirement, so it
should be possible to do that in ConTeXt.

[NTG-context] math: \usemathcollection and \enablemathcollection

2007-04-04 Thread Johannes Kuester
I'm quite lost with \usemathcollection and \enablemathcollection --
I checked the manual, the wiki, and the source browser, but without
success for my problems. I just don't get how math font switching works
for e.g. Lucida fonts, and why it does not for my fonts in my setup.

So:

What is the correct use of
  \usemathcollection
and
  \enablemathcollection
i.e. where should these appear (and where not)?
Do I need \enablemathcollection at all?

In my current setup (see below), I have two problems:

 Major problem: I would like to switch my math fonts globally.

Currently I have to apply \enablemathcollection e.g. after every
\startcolumns (and after other environments as well),
otherwise my math fonts are used, but not in the desired encoding,
which results in wrong symbols shown.

 Minor problem: I would like make sure that all math symbols do come
from my math fonts and aren't taken from CM or other fonts.
Is this possible?

E.g. could I get an error message (or some special black box or the like
in my pdf file) for each math control sequence which is not (yet)
defined in my current mathcollection?


My current setup:

-- an environment file env-signa.tex with
   (among many other definitions)

  \usetypescriptfile[type-opticals]
  \usetypescriptfile[type-minionpro]
  \usetypescriptfile[type-tymnmath]

  \usetypescript[MinionPro][ec]

  \setupbodyfont[MinionPro]
  \switchtobodyfont[MinionPro,9.6pt]


-- a type-minionpro.tex file with
  \starttypescript [serif] [MinionProSizes] [ec]
% (followed by many \definefontsynonym)
  \stoptypescript

  \starttypescript[MinionPro][ec]
\usetypescript[serif][Opticals][size]
\usetypescript[serif][MinionProSizes][ec]
\usetypescript[newmath][MinionMath] %[size]

\definebodyfontenvironment
  [9.6pt]
  [\s!text=9.6pt,\s!script=6.8pt,\s!scriptscript=4.9pt,
   \c!x=8.4pt,\c!xx=5.8pt,\c!big=11pt,\c!small=7.6pt]

% further \definebodyfontenvironment entries

\enablemathcollection[newmath]
\usemathcollection[newmath]
\quittypescriptscanning
  \stoptypescript


-- a math-newmath.tex file with
  math font synonyms, definitions and some blocks like
  \startmathcollection[newmath]
% (many \definemathsymbol entries)
  \stopmathcollection

  This is a general file for math fonts following
  TeX NewMath encodings
  (this should develop in a real ConTeXt module for general use)


-- a type-tymnmath.tex file, setting up my math fonts, with
  \starttypescript[newmath][MinionMath]
% (with
%  \definefontsynonym
% and
%  \definebodyfont [9.6pt] [mm]
%  [ ... ]
% entries)
  \stoptypescript


-- and of courese a main file with
  \startproject project_signa
  \environment env_signa
   and components (chapter files) with
   \startcomponent kap_01

Re: [NTG-context] Grid-keeping table

2007-03-28 Thread Johannes Kuester
Dear Luigi, dear Rolf,

thank you for your help.

Below is a (hopefully) better example of what I try to do and where it
fails.

The last line in tabulate (starting with 22C6) loses the grid, and I
can't see why.

Unfortunately the solutions you suggested did not work for me.
I do want to avoid to specify cell heights, I just want to arrange
paragraph boxes, all (horizontally) top-aligned with each entry in my table.

TABLE with \synchronizegrid would do the trick (a non-framed table would
have grid-keeping rows). Still it seems to fail in my specific setting
(two-column, I could not trace down what the problem really is).
And the need to specify the number of rows is a problem in my case, as I
would need to add a parameter to my macro etc.

  \setuplinetable[c][3]   [width=51mm]

 Hi Johannes,
 
 a short example to play for you. The important things are the stretch and
 the lines key in \setuplinetable. You should also look at the end of
 core-ltb,
 it contains a few interresting examples.
 
 \setuplinetable[stretch=yes,lines=fit]
 
 \starttext
 
 \startcolumns
 
 \startlinetable
 \dorecurse{80}{\NC Text \NC Text \NC\NR}
 \stoplinetable

Hi Wolfgang,

I already looked at the examples in core-ltb, and on the wiki.
Still linetable does not work in my specific case (with my layout
options etc.), but I can't trace down why it does not.

But linetable seems to have problems in general, when used in columns.
When I try your example with more input lines (thus running over more
than one page), say

%%
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\showgrid

\setuplinetable[stretch=yes,lines=fit]

\starttext

\startcolumns

\startlinetable
\dorecurse{180}{\NC Text \NC Text \NC\NR}
\stoplinetable

\stopcolumns

\stoptext
%%

I get a correct left column (on page 1 and 2),
but the right column is three lines too long.

Setting the number of lines:
  \setuplinetable[lines=41]
would help for one-line cell entries
(then each column has the correct number of lines on the page),
but in my case with multi-line entries, each such entry is counted as
one line, thus resulting in a too long column.

So, linetable does not do the job.

Back to tabulate, I presume, but tabulate has the strut problem.

[NTG-context] Grid-keeping table

2007-03-27 Thread Johannes Kuester
Dear all,

I'm trying to typeset a rather simple list or table where each line
should keep the overall grid of my page design.
For this I tried tabulate, table, and TABLE, but all failed.

What I need is the following:
4 columns, each with a fixed width.
One of the columns may contain a paragraph (i.e. more than one line), like:

   Axxx    first entry with  zzz
   more text
   Bxxx    next entryzzz

The line starting with B does not keep the grid -- at least in most
cases; I couldn't trace down when and why this fails.

(The specific environment is not important (whether tabulate, table,
TABLE, or some other solution), as all entries are supplied by a macro
which I could adapt easily).
