[NTG-context] $TEXINPUT worries
It seems that the commands context and texexec cause ConTeXt to look in different paths. I haven't been able to see any patterh here. context sees some files that texexec doesn't, and vice versa. I currently use TeXLive 2010, but TeXLive 2009 displays the same behavior. Any and all help appreciated. -- Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren http://www.grendel.no/ http://www.elvetun.no/ +47 40061755 ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Font adventures
I have set up my own typescript file which seems, under normal
circumstances, to work pretty well. It can be viewed in all its
glory on http://www.grendel.no/misc/type-roffe.tex. it is mainly
being used by an accompanying file at http://www.grendel.no/misc/cont-
roffe.tex.
I can normally get the layout I want by doing
\input cont-roffe
\starttext
...
\stoptext
funny things happen though, such as
\high{B}
aborts with the message that font UnicodeRegular4c is unavailable.
what gives?
thank you,

But the best thing to do is try the examples starting on page 12, look at chapters 3 and 4, and ignore the xml stuff. certainly, and back in the days when I was a childless and carefree student I would have done just that, or I would have offered what I had to anyone who had asked.

yes.
I've tried with showhyphens, and it seems that certain tricky words
are hyphenated correctly. however, ConTeXt no longer hyphenates
“psykolog”, and “psykometriker” is hyphenated as psykometrik-er.
I use
\installlanguage
[no]
[spacing=broad,
leftsentence=,

Line 25 is the first line after \setuplanguage[no]
Is this in any way significant?

[NTG-context] ConTeXt, hyphenation
I've upgraded to the most recent version of ConTeXt now. I try to set Norwegian hyphenation by saying \language[no] \setuplanguage[no] however, as opposed to in the previous version, there are no hyphenations at all.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt upgrade blues
OK, so the ConTeXt that comes with the TeX distribution I use (until
eariler today, MacPorts, and as from later today, fink) is ancient.
now, with good old LaTeX that's not much of a problem - just put the
most recent release in the few relevant places in texmf-local,
rebuild the formats, and off you go. with ConTeXt, that's, er, not
so simple.
the first attempt I made was to pull dowm the most recent version of
the base files and then run
sudo texmfstart ctxtools --update
which seemingly worked, pulled the updates to texmf-local, and
complied with no error messages. however, the new ConTeXt failed to
compile documents, giving lots of error messages about undefined
commands.
texexec test.tex (which used to work) gives
mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode;
input ec-lmr12' failed to make ec-lmr12.tfm.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
! Font \*12ptrmtfrm*=ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` texexec test
(which is in essence what the recommended shell script does) gives
ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2006.12.30 int: english mes: english
language: language en is active
protectionstate 0
system : cont-new loaded
(/sw/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex
! Undefined control sequence.
l.16 \newcontextversion

now, according to several web pages, ec-lmr12 can be found on
pragma's web, but it's not there.
any suggestions?

[NTG-context] Font for enumeration
consider the following setup:
\startitemize[m]
\item this
\item that
\item the other
\stopitemize
this should give enumeration using oldstyle numbers. now, I have
created my own typescript file that sets everything to Sabon, except
the oldstyle numbers in question, which are set using computer
modern's oldstyle numbers. what do I do to get the base font here?
I have set up my typescript file so that {\Var[osf] 123} are set
using the base fonts oldstyle numbers.
