Re: [NTG-context] On creating my own fonts
I've been doing some searching on how to create my own fonts. http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ also really cool are http://unifiedfontobject.org/http://www.robofab.com/http://letterror.com/ I now understand I can: * Use fontforge ascii file or unified font object to describe glyphs using a text file; * Use some other tool to create an image for a glyph and then use a tracer to make it into an ouline description for a glyph; * Use fontforge to add OpenType specific tunning. Using those options, can I do everything I want with fonts? Like japanese kanji, or arabic text where the shape of a glyph depends on next and previous ones?

Re: [NTG-context] On creating my own fonts
Using those options, can I do everything I want with fonts? You can do virtually every thing, I use FontForge mainly for Arabic fonts. Can I ask you what you use to create arabic fonts? They always have a beatifull caligraphic style, are they usually done with tools like metafont or you just draw then on the screen?

[NTG-context] Watermark
Hi, How do I add a simple watermark text (like Draft) to every page of a Context generated file? Thanks, Maurício ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] PNG pictures in original size
Hi, When using bitmap figures (.png etc.) using \externalfigure, is it possible to set that I want the picture to have it's original size in pixels; or, better, that I don't want it to be scaled? I'm using some pictures that look terrible when converted to a different size, even if the new size is close to the original one. just saying \externalfigure[blabla.png] should work Hans It doesn't. Is there some kind of configuration that could interfer? Maurício ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Do you think it's possible to say something like:
\setupexternalfigures[directory={tex_file_directory/png-images}] ?
Note that ./png-images seems to look for
current_shell_directory/png-images.

Re: [NTG-context] Context and CD labels
(...) I'll let you do the job for positionning. You'll find as attached an example... Since it's not obvious to me to make a shapetext with a holed shape (I have tried some tricks but failed), I reserved 2 text areas: 1. (test 1) song list for example 2. (test 2|framedtext) Author title This example assumes that : - the first label is centered on x=.5\paperwidth y=.75\paperwidth - the second is centered on x=.5\paperwidth y=.25\paperheight You can even put a background image if you want, using overlay and clip...

[NTG-context] Directories of pictures
Hi, When I use \externalfigure inside of \placefigure, Context can only find filenames in the current directory, i.e., the directory where I'm executing texexec.

Re: [NTG-context] Directories of pictures
Hi,
When I use \externalfigure inside of \placefigure, Context can only
find filenames in the current directory, i.e., the directory where I'm
executing texexec. How can I instruct Context to look for files on the
same directory of my .tex file?
(...)
\placefigure[here]{none}{
\startcombination[2*4]
{\externalfigure[courbe1][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
{\externalfigure[courbe2][width=.4\textwidth]}{}
(...)
texexec sample give satisfaction...
That's what I'm doing, but Context looks for the .png files in the
current directory.
My previous answer assumes that your pictures are in ./src/images/
With your previous example, I would have to place my pictures in
current_dir/scr/images. I would like to put my pictures in
tex_file_dir/scr/images, and have Context to find them no matter which
directory I'm in when I execute texexec. Also, I would like to use
relative paths, not absolute paths.
Best,
Maurício

But those would be relative to the shell current directory, not to
