metafun troubles
by Taco Hoekwater 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi Hans, I still have trouble with the metafun mem when using the newtexexec. Missing specials, to be precise, because the runtime mpost reads different values from texmf.cnf from the ini mpost. The root of the problem is that texexec --make metafun runs the following command: mpost -progname=metafun --ini -translate-file=natural.tcx metafun But texexec talk runs: mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun -translate-file=natural.tcx \ talk-mpgraph.mp (I have separate settings in texmf.cnf for mpost, metafun, and mpplain). Cheers, taco

Hi, I hope these make sense: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2006.05.08 http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2006.05.08b Is there going to be another release today or tomorrow, or should I announce this version? (I am not sure about those problems that were reported on the list). Cheers, taco

scripts/context/stubs/unix/texmfstart.bat?

Salve Hans, I doubt there is a unix system where scripts/context/stubs/unix/texmfstart.bat cum suis will work, those are DOS/Win/CP/M batch files. Regards, Christopher

Font switching in XeTeX
by Mojca Miklavec 06 May '06

06 May '06

Hello Hans and Adam, Which are the high-level font switching commands for XeTeX? Documentation in font-ini states that something like \definedfont["cmtt10" at 40pt] should work, but if I try to play with \definedfont["Latin Modern Roman" at 40pt] I get the message that TFM files for "Latin Modern Roman" do not exist. \font\A="Latin Modern Roman" at 40pt works OK. I have some problems with the default Type1 lmr font - it doesn't know that there are any "ccarons" present in the font (with OpenType lmr it works OK), but I have to inspect that a bit anyway. There should be a way to "preload" the lm fonts so that they would work OK with diacritical marks. Mojca

Hi, I've just created a page for the new release (04/27), http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2006.04.27 but I a bit hesitant to announce it formally. I suspect that the changes in kpse.rb/kpsefast.rb break on Mac OS X. Cheers, Taco

Hi Hans, I've created http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2006.04.22 but not all of it makes sense to me, this time. (I've ordered "programming ruby" so hopefully I'll start understanding it better soon) Cheers, taco

Updated modules at contextgarden
by Taco Hoekwater 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi all, I think I have succeeded in uploading new versions of my modules to contextgarden (thanks to Patrick for the input form and Hans for the distribution/tpm builder). http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-lettrine http://modules.contextgarden.net/bib http://modules.contextgarden.net/urwgothic For that last one I have a question for Patrick: I changed the filename in the edit form (from urwgothic-support to f-urwgothic). That did not change the existing files, just the links, so those became invalid. I expected that, so I added a new release and re-uploaded my zipfile. That worked fine, the new version now has the right filename (cool!). But it also means that there is now a set of "orphan files" on http://dl.contextgarden.net, and I do not know how you want to handle that? We also have serious duplication of information now: the info in the tpm file duplicates the info in modules interface + filesystem. It would perhaps make more sense if one or the other was auto-generated? Cheers, Taco
