Re: [NTG-context] Two minor questions
I just found out that it's a tex shorthand for an endash. Is there a way to globally turn that shortcut off? On Tue, Jun 7, 2022 at 5:20 PM Stefan Nedeljkovic wrote: > Yes I may use them.

Re: [NTG-context] Two minor questions
I tried \setupspacing[fixed] but it didn't help. To prove that the font
characters really are half a cell wide I added the line \emdash
\dorecurse{39}{ \emdash}. Files on drive are updated.

Re: [NTG-context] Two minor questions
Thank you very much Wolfgang! But, there is still something weird going on
with the font. I updated the files on Drive. Please see line 19, the last
word "and". It is clearly out of alignment with the gid. I tested the
alignment in MP and it should work, ie 2 characters are indeed one grid
cell (semms from the fact that IBM Plex Mono was designed from a typewriter
typeface where 12 characters are exactly 1 inch long).

Wolfgang, Aditya, thank you both very much!
I have 2 more questions:
Observe the files here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18ve5_F-BKOa-TxCWmD02mhPqNXQvNyWK?usp=sharing
1. I'd like to shift the text area down so that the red lines
align with the blue lines (I think this amount is called depth). How
would I do that?
Quick and dirty:
\setuplayout
[...,
topspace=\dimexpr5\measured{base}+2bp+\strutdp\relax,
...]
2. The font is such that exactly 2 characters fit into the grid cell,
but I see that towards the end of the line it gets out of sync with
the grid. How would I ensure that all text rendered is strictly
monospaced without any stretching/shrinking trickery?
Change the text alignment:
\setupalign[flushleft,broad]

(Untested)
\dimexpr\measure{base}+2bp\relax
or
\dimexpr\measured{base}+2bp\relax
should work.

Dear list,
I have 2 small questions:
1. In \setuplayout if I try to set topspace=5\measured{base} +
\dimexpr2bp I get an error. How should I add these 2bp?
\setuplayout
[topspace=\dimexpr 5\measured{base} + 2bp\relax]
2. I have an mp graphic defined in the file "graphic.mp
" which has the exact same dimensions as my page.
I'd like to set that graphic as a background. How do I do this?
\startreusableMPgraphic{backgroundgraphic}
input graphic.mp;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\defineoverlay [backgroundimage] [\reuseMPgraphic{backgroundgraphic}]
