Size of itemize symbols
by Wolfgang Schuster 16 Mar '19

16 Mar '19

Hi, the change from a while ago to get the symbols for bullet etc. from the text font when available leads to where unpleasant results for a few fonts. A good example for this are first level items where the symbol is too symbols in my opinion which looks even worse for smaller font sizes. While I can understand the change to use the text font for the symbols I miss a simple way to switch back to the math font for the symbols, e.g. \usesymbols[math]. \starttext \startitemize[packed] \item First item \item Second item \item Third item \stopitemize \startitemize[packed] \sym{\m{\bullet}} First item \sym{\m{\bullet}} Second item \sym{\m{\bullet}} Third item \stopitemize \blank Latin Modern: \symbol[bullet] \m{\symbol[bullet]} \setupbodyfont[pagella] TeX Gyre Pagella: \symbol[bullet] \m{\symbol[bullet]} \setupbodyfont[dejavu] DejaVu Serif: \symbol[bullet] \m{\symbol[bullet]} \stoptext Wolfgang

IBM Wordcloud with the Filter Module
by Jeroen 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Dear List, I am trying to get the IBM wordcloud java application working with the filter module on MS Windows. This configuration does not create the wordcloud png file. The in and out files "naamloos-10-temp-wordcloud-x.tmp" are actually created. If this configuration correct? Java is installed and I am indicating absolute file locations. Thanks, Jeroen \usemodule[filter] \defineexternalfilter [wordcloud] [filtercommand={/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_181/bin/java -jar /context/wordcloud/ibm-word-cloud.jar -c /context/wordcloud/examples/configuration.txt -w 800 -h 600 -o \externalfilteroutputfile\space -i \externalfilterinputfile}, output=\externalfilterbasefile.png, readcommand=\ExternalFigure, continue=yes, purge=no,] \def\ExternalFigure#1{\externalfigure[#1]} \starttext \startwordcloud %[width=100] Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system must not only be the implementer and first large||scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. The separation of any of these four components would have hurt \TeX\ significantly. If I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would never have thought of them or perceived why they were important. But a system cannot be successful if it is too strongly influenced by a single person. Once the initial design is complete and fairly robust, the real test begins as people with many different viewpoints undertake their own experiments. \stopwordcloud \stoptext

Can't use MetaFun with mplib anymore
by Henri Menke 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

Dear list, Something has changed in MetaFun and it can no longer be used in plain LuaTeX, with neither of luatex test.tex mtxrun --script plain test.tex This is the error: >> LUATEXFUNCTIONALITY >> "mp.print(LUATEXFUNCTIONALITY)" ! Equation cannot be performed (numeric=string). MWE is below, as always. Cheers, Henri --- \directlua{ local mpkpse = kpse.new(arg[0], "mpost") local function finder(name, mode, ftype) if mode == "w" then return name else return mpkpse:find_file(name,ftype) end end local mpx = mplib.new { find_file = finder } local ret = mpx:execute[[ boolean mplib ; mplib := true ; input metafun.mp ; ]] print(ret.log) } \bye

ConTeXT install failing
by Hans van der Meer 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

I cannot get ConTeXt working on my other machine though I mimicked everything there from the working one. Installed the contextbeta with the script than try to run but this fails. See the output from what has been done and what results. Also attached the .bashrc setup sofar as regarding TeX. These are the same on both machines. I am stymied of what happened here or what could be amiss. Any pointers to the solution will be very much appreciated. In blue the commands and where they were run, in orange the telltaling error message.

Printing 3 din lang pages on one dina4 page
by Jan U. Hasecke 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

Hi, I managed to print din long flyers (100mmx210mm with 97mmx210mm fold page) with 6 pages using a lot of pageshifts etc. But how can I print one simple din long page (99mmx210mm) three times on a din a4 page so that I can cut it myself? The following does not work. \definepapersize [flyer] [width=99mm,height=210mm] \setuppapersize [flyer] [a4] \setuparranging[1*3] The option [1*3] does not exist for \setuparranging. But I thought this could be what I want one sheet three pages. TIA juh
