I'm using black plus one spot colour in a document, and I include PDF
images generated in an external program (CorelDraw) which use the same
spot colour. In the images the color is called 'PANTONE 294 CV', but I

Anyway, I have started my "conversion to ConTeXT" project.
So, I used the fiee perl script to set up my project. Then I started to
fill things in. Everything is still in one directory (I do not understand

1. Page size is somewhere between A5 and A4 (large paperback book)
2. In draft mode:

- Two pages on one A4 landscape

Hi!
I have some problems using units or cite commands in combination
with line breaks.
Using:
... energies up to 3 \EVolt were measured
will produce no whitespace between "eV" and "were"
... energies up to 3 eVwere measured .
In order to get the space correct between

Hallo, Michael.
This is a standard TeX thing. Follow the macro with "\ ".
(backslash-space). So:

I would like to have a right-aligned quote before the chapter header. I

Hi Adam!
Thank you for your quick answer. But somehow the combination
of backslash and space "\ " doesn't work for me at the moment.
I already tried that before with no effect and tried again
after your mail. I also tried \cMeter to check if it is
dependent on the unit itself. Maybe it is helpfu

But then TeX thinks that there is feasible breakpoint between EVolt
and wurden. I'd write this 3\,\EVolt\ wurden.

Hi Patrick!
I want ConTeXt to produce the line break after the \EVolt
command. The unit and following word together are extending
the textwidth. Put TeX doesn't do the linebreak after the
unit. Even using this "\ " macro doesn't have an effect on
this behaviour!

I tried this and the drop.tex example from Taco with
texexec --pdf drop.tex
but this ends in disaster:

Oops. My fault. Apple Mail.app had saved the newer version
automatically as t-lettri-1.tex (instead of giving me a warning panel -
stupid program)

Hi Peter!
I tried to make the XXX a little bit longer.
But unluckily I still don't have success with that.
TeX only wants to insert the line break after the first
possible position after "wur" in the word "wurden".
If I make the XXX long enough I even can push
~eV~wur-

not a bug, this is the expected behaviour of \definefont.

What does cutspace actually do?
I have the following layout:
\definelayout[chapThree][
cutspace=20mm, % the space on the right hand side of the page
leftmargin=35mm, % the space for margin notes
backspace=50mm, % the space in the left hand side of the page
rightmargin=25mm, % the space f

don't worry:FONTS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT.
And is there a template file or a command
to display the entire set of characters once I know
the
name of fonts?
I suggest you to look at
