Converting numerals to text
by Tom 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Is there a command or macro that converts a numeral to its English language equivalent? For example, I would like to display Thirteen for 13. Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

producing a pdf/X-1a:2001 file
by Ciro 28 Jun '10

The company that is printing my book requires format PDF/X-1a:2001. The file produced by LuaTex is PDF 1.5. I wonder if there will be a problem, and if so, how can I do the conversion to X-1a:2001? thank you Ciro

fonts not found
by Ciro 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Ok , I changed the subject: I just installed ConTeXt minimals, but my fonts are not found now: "define fonts > font with name Barnard-Oblique is not found" font files are there, but some how context can't see them. I ran "context --generate" and got lines like this: MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-fonts' MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-local' MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-linux' MTXrun | resolvers: not saving runtime tree 'tree:////home/ciro/context/tex/texmf-context and also ran "mtxrun --script fonts --reload" and got lines like this: MTXrun | fontnames: scanning /home/ciro/context/tex/texmf for AFM files MTXrun | fontnames: 3323 entries found, 0 AFM files checked, 0 okay MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /home/ciro/.fonts/**.ttf MTXrun | fontnames: identifying system font files with suffix TTF MTXrun | fontnames: globbing path /home/ciro/.fonts/**.TTF MTXrun | fontnames: 639 system files identified, 39 skipped, 39 duplicates, 600 hash entries added My fonts are in $HOME/.fonts (lunix/ubuntu) I don't use typescripts. I use \definefontsynonym [baob] [file:Barnard-Oblique] [features=default] what should I do? thank you Ciro

I suspect to use \mainlanguage[en,ua] command, if it's possible This my test file: \setupbodyfont[mscore,rm,24pt] %\mainlanguage[en] %only English hyphens %\mainlanguage[ua] %only Ukrainian hyphens \mainlanguage[en,ua] %%only English hyphens, no Uk \starttext \dorecurse{4}{Для мене велика честь бути з вами сьогодні на випускному в одному з найкращих університетів світу.

title page (& \framed)
by Alan BRASLAU 27 Jun '10

27 Jun '10

In typesetting a title page, why in this minimal example is the framed title not centered? \starttext \startstandardmakeup [doubleside=no,align=middle] \framed {Title} \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext If I remove the \framed, the Title then gets centered. (I suppose that one could always add \startalignment\stopalignment but this is not the point...) Alan

LuaTeX error: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
by Alan BRASLAU 26 Jun '10

latest minimals: $ context contextman ! LuaTeX error ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-not.lua:87: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-not.lua:87: in function 'listindex' ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-not.lua:253: in function 'setsymbolpage' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. I have not been able to identify what code is triggering this; My other projects compile without errors using this version of the minimals. Alan

checking for an undefined constant
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Hi, Now I check for an undefined constant like this: \ifx \Homeworks \undefined \else Home works -- {\Homeworks} \fi The useful part is in "else" clause. How to swap this check so that "else" is not needed? Rgrds, Vyatcheslav
