Sorry, I hadn't been watching that. I've suggested texnansi as a starting point, at least within ConTeXt. What symbols do people want that *aren't* within texnansi? (Hint: Here are some symbols present in some Unicode-y fonts, but there's really little pattern to the coverage within "typical" professional fonts: http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/UnicodeSymbolDemo.pdf ) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

[Fwd: new fonts from SIL]
by Taco Hoekwater 04 Feb '06

Hi, Nelson Beebe forwarded this to tex-live, but tex-live 2006 is still very, very far away. Is anybody interested in making a context module/typescript for this font, perhaps? :) Taco -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [tex-live] new fonts from SIL Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2006 08:04:51 -0700 (MST) From: Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe(a)math.utah.edu> To: tex-live(a)tug.org CC: beebe(a)math.utah.edu The Unicode list this morning carried this announcement, and I think that we should examine the license to see whether it could be included in future TeX Live distributions (also, list readers who are Debian folks, with their different views of licensing, may wish to do the same): >> ... >> SIL International is pleased to announce the official release of the >> Charis SIL Unicode fonts (http://scripts.sil.org/CharisSILfont) Charis >> SIL provides a single Unicode-based font family that contains >> near-complete coverage of all the characters defined in Unicode 4.1 for >> Latin and Cyrillic-based writing systems, whether used for phonetic or >> orthographic needs.

context release packaging
by Taco Hoekwater 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi Hans (esp.), Please consider: * Cont-pat.zip (Standalone distribution of pattern files) Is it not sensible to remove this? Most people should have a new one with patterns included now, and when not, it is wiser to let them upgrade their base files as well. * Cont-msw.zip (Font support files for microsoft verdana and arial) I suggest merging the windows support files with cont-fnt.zip. * Cont-ext.zip (Third party ConTeXt additions) This is nearly empty. I guess at least nath and amsl should be added, since they are widely used. Also, I'ld like to see the bib module moved to this zip. WDYT? * Cont-win.zip (texmfstart.exe for windows) Is this still needed/does it work to have only texmfstart as executable and the others as .rb? (I just don't know). * Cont-lmt.zip (Latin Modern font distribution) Now that Latin Modern is becoming more stable, perhaps this is no longer needed? Cheers, Taco

AFAICS, margin is indeed ignored, but it is documented in the xml files. Looks like a leftover from the dutch days.

Re: [dev-context] How to help ConTeXt?
by Hans Hagen 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hi Junod I forward your mail to the context dev list. The primary sites to get context are our website (source code) and the internal svn server (manuals). Taco and Patrick are the ones who take care of the wiki, mirroring, announcing and such, so they can best tell what help is needed as soon as files leave our servers. Thanks for offering. >Hello Hans, > >I falled in love with ConTeXt and would like to help the project. I'm >a swiss student in computer science, ie I've no money to donate. But I >would be really happy to host a mirror or somethig equivalent, if >needed, on one of my german servers (big machines, fast networks). > >Let me know if you're interested! > >And thanks for having created ConTeXt! > > you're welcome >-Junod Antoine > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
