Re: [NTG-context] format generation -- again!
by Alan Bowen 03 Jun '06

03 Jun '06

Using the latest version of Gerben’s i-Installer (expert mode), I completely erased teTeX, re-installed the 2005 x86pc version, and then re-installed the latest ConTeXt. cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/ grep agr cont-en.log produces encoding : coding agr is loaded (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/enco-agr.tex) language : patterns for agr not loaded language : patterns for agr not loaded and no more, which means that the ancient Greek hyphenation patterns are not available, though they presumably should be since the files lang-agr.hyp and lang-agr.pat are in the right place, /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/. When I try to regenerate the formats using sudo ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ texmfstart.rb texexec --make --all I get the error message language : patterns agr for agr loaded (n=24,e=agr,m=agr) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.pat ! Nonletter. \rawcharacter ...r\or \or \or \or \or \or \or \or \or \or \or \... l.37 α2Ϊ 1 ? So no Greek hyphenation. I am baffled. And Thomas cannot reproduce the problem at his end. So, if anyone has any suggestions they will be gratefully received. By the way, if it is at all relevant, I am running Mac OS X 10.4.6 on a Power Mac G4 450 MHz.

Page Numbers in TOC; setuplabeltext
by Neal Lester 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

In the table of context for my documents, I would like Chapters to have page numbers with alternative=c. However, my Appendices are not paginated so I do not want them to have page numbers in the TOC. Since (apparently), Appendix inherits from Chapter, each Appendix is listed in the TOC with leading dots and page number "0" regardless of what I put in \setuplist [appendix] when using \placecontent or \completecontent. So I tried creating my own head (based on title) and list. Placing this list under the TOC gives me the effect I want (Appendices are listed without dots or page numbers). Unfortunately, setuplabeltext doesn't seem to work on my newly defined head. I've tried all manner of variations like: \definelist [myappendixlist] \setuplist [myappendixlist] [pagenumber=no,alternative=b,label=yes,conversion=Character] \definehead[myappendix][title] \def\appendixlabel#1#2{Appendix #1: #2} \setuphead[myappendix][command=\appendixlabel] % \setuplabeltext [en][myappendix=Appendix~] \newcounter\myappendices \long\def\myappendix#1% {\ifhmode\unskip\fi \doglobal\increment\myappendices\relax \high{\myappendices}% \expanded{\writetolist[myappendixlist]{\myappendices}}{#1}} 1) Is there a way to suppress the display of Appendix page numbers in a TOC while retaining alternative=c for Chapters? 2) Assuming the answer to (1) is no, how do I enable display of labels in my custom defined head? Thanks, Neal

Font size in FLOWchart module.

I am using the flowchart module to create various goodies. What I don't know how to do is regulate the size of the font for the text that goes inside the little boxes.

t-greek module and Latin Modern
by Alan Bowen 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hans and all other font wizards— Thomas and I have been stumped by problem that arises when one re- installs Latin Modern (in order to get margin kerning) and uses the t- greek module. Thomas suspects that Latin Modern, being a "clone" of Computer Modern, comes in different design sizes and uses slightly different fonts for different sizes. This setup breaks when the t- greek module expects to have a completely scalable font. But this is only a guess, as he says. The problem may be described as follows: A. If I do not re-install Latin Modern (and thus forego margin kerning and so forth), there is no problem: I can vary the typesize of the footnotes and insert Greek at will. I use the following code for this: \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \definebodyfont[10.5pt][rm][default] \setupbodyfont[modern,10.5pt] \setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers, way=bytext,location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=9.5pt,style=normal] \usemodule[t-greek] \setupfontsynonym[Alkaios][handling=grkpure] \setupfontsynonym[GreekOxoniensis][handling=grkpure] \setupgreek[font=Alkaios,altfont=GreekOxoniensis,scale=0.9] B. If I do reinstall the Latin Modern, I get “Arithmetic overflow errors” when there is Greek in the footnotes. My code for this is: \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \starttypescript[serif][default][size] \definebodyfont[10.5pt][rm][default] %<<< \definebodyfont[10.5pt][mm][default] \stoptypescript \setupfontsynonym[Serif][handling=normal] \usetypescript[modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern,10.5pt] \setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers, way=bytext,location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=9.5pt,style=normal] \usemodule[t-greek] \setupfontsynonym[GreekOxoniensis][handling=greekpure] \setupfontsynonym[GreekDioxipe][handling=greekpure] \setupgreek[font=GreekOxoniensis,scale=1.15] \setupgreek[altfont=GreekDioxipe,scale=1.15] But remove the Greek from the notes and all is well. Note that inserting \definebodyfont[10.5pt,9.5pt][rm][default] at the line <<< (above) fails with the same error message even when there is no Greek in the footnotes. If you have any suggestions on this, we would be grateful to receive them. All best, Alan

RLXTOOLS ?
by Michal Kvasnicka 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Good evening. How can I make RLXTOOLS to regenerate a figure when its dimensions in the TeX file are changed? (What I mean is this: For screen version of my documents I downscale JPGs to 100ppi. But it depends on the size given by the TeX file. So I'd like RLXTools to regenerate the figure when I change \externalfigure[bum.jpg][width=\textwidth] to \externalfigure[bum.jpg][width=\makeupwidth] for instance (while in columns).) How can I get force it to do it? Many thanks for you kind answer. And many thanks to Mr. Hagen for this wonderful tool -- it's much better than my semimanual use of Make. Yours Michal Kvasnicka
