Using Kurinto: Cursive/Slanted
by Mike Urban 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

I continue to be stumped by font stuff. I want to use the cursive-style font (font family Kurinto TRom) for italics, but still use the normal oblique style for slanted. But the naïve/obvious approach doesn't do it—italics are unaffected. Help? Here's what I tried: \starttext \definefontfamily[Kurinto] [rm] [Kurinto Text][it=file:KurintoTMod-It] %\definefontfamily[Kurinto] [it] [Kurinto TRom] % Doesn't work either \definefontfamily[Kurinto] [sl] [Kurinto Text] \definefontfamily[Kurinto] [ss] [Kurinto Sans] \definefontfamily[Kurinto] [mono] [Kurinto Mono] \definefontfamily[Kurinto] [mm] [Latin Modern Math] \setupbodyfont[Kurinto,12pt] \startbuffer[line] The quick brown fox jumps over \stopbuffer \startbuffer[sample] \startTABLE \NC \type{\normal} \NC \normal{\getbuffer[line]} \NC \NR \NC \type{\italic} \NC \italic{\getbuffer[line]} \NC \NR \NC \type{\slanted} \NC \slanted{\getbuffer[line]} \NC \NR \NC \type{\bold} \NC \bold{\getbuffer[line]} \NC \NR \NC \type{\bolditalic} \NC \bolditalic{\getbuffer[line]} \NC \NR \NC \type{\boldslanted} \NC \boldslanted{\getbuffer[line]} \NC \NR \NC \type{\smallcaps} \NC \smallcaps{\getbuffer[line]} \NC \NR \stopTABLE \stopbuffer \startlines \type{\serif} \serif{\getbuffer[sample]} \stoplines \stoptext

Cropmarks
by John Was 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

Hello I'm getting to grips with page layout and hope that it will be possible to set up crop marks on all four corners of each page. Currently when I give 'marking=on' I'm getting a crop mark top left on an odd-numbered page and top right on an even-numbered page, and it does look as if these are in the correct position; but the printer will want all four corners of each page to be demarcated, and I haven't found a setting to achieve that.

Can Bytemaps be overwritten?
by Keith McKay 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

Hi all, I've been doing some testing to see if bytemaps can be overwritten as a way of reusing them and came up with the code below. The MPpage page 1 should, if my thinking is correct, give three unitsquares coloured red, blue, and green. However it seems the squares are all coloured green. To get what I expected I rewrote the code as in MPpage page 2, but to get the desired outcome I had to create 3 bytemaps. So, does this mean that bytemaps can't be overwritten, or am I missing something? Best Wishes Keith \starttext \startMPpage %page 1 color newColor; newbytemap 1 of (250,250,3); p := 0; for i = 1 upto 3: for x := 0 upto 249: for y := 0 upto 249: if i = 1: newColor := \MPcolor{red}; elseif i = 2: newColor := \MPcolor{blue}; else: newColor := \MPcolor{green}; fi; setbyte (x,y) of 1 to (newColor * 255); endfor; endfor; p := p + 259; fill unitsquare scaled 250 shifted(p - 259,0) withbytemap 1; endfor; \stopMPpage \startMPpage%page 2 color newColor; p := 0; for i = 1 upto 3: newbytemap i of (250,250,3); for x := 0 upto 249: for y := 0 upto 249: if i = 1: newColor := \MPcolor{red}; elseif i = 2: newColor := \MPcolor{blue}; else: newColor := \MPcolor{green}; fi; setbyte (x,y) of i to (newColor * 255); endfor; endfor; p := p + 259; fill unitsquare scaled 250 shifted(p - 259,0) withbytemap i; endfor; \stopMPpage \stoptext

Good day, Contexters I've been using plain TeX for many years (EmTeX, if anyone can remember that, and latterly XeTeX), but my motivation for getting acquainted with ConText, rather late in life, is the need to produce tagged PDFs that will be accessible to the visually impaired (generally using an audio reader), and I understand (or at least hope) that ConText can help with that. I'm only just getting started with the *Not so Short Introduction*, and of course have many questions which I think/hope I will be able to answer myself from the documentation: I've not managed to load pstricks or edmac, for example, but this must be possible, and some primitives such as \baselineskip seem to have disappeared, together with the font-call system I'm used to: \font\umirtenpointsevenfive = "MinionPro-Regular:+onum:mapping=tex-text:letterspace=1.6" at 10.75pt All that will come as I read the instructions, but what I'm most interested to achieve is tagging that will not only produce the usual column of bookmarks at the left-hand side but will also allow an audio reader to read such things as alt-text for illustrations and, crucially, read a heavily footnoted text in the correct order. For this I take it that the footnotes will have to be tagged in a special way, allowing visually impaired readers either to suppress them as the text is read out, or else to include them at the point where the cue occurs, then revert back to the main text. With my XeTeX-produced PDFs an audio reader will simply read all of the main text on a page, then the footnotes (the last of which may be split between pages), and then start again on the next page - clearly annoying and unacceptable to those who can't see the PDF. I'd be most grateful to be pointed in the right direction - or is what I've outlined simply not achievable?

Hi, I uploaded a new version, this time a bit of beta, because of: -- reworked control over callbacks: more restrictive, some protection against overload, better control; as a side effect context can run a bit faster but it depends on the job and features used; if something is not working as expected it might relate to this (easy to fix) -- some preparations for an upgrade of grid snapping, profiling and spacing (mostly related to math in the new columnsets); we're still working on columnsets (side effect of mikael converting some advanced documents to use it) -- overload protection enabled, for the moment only the warnings but at some point we might become more restrictive; keep an eye on messages so that you can see where your styles actually messes with already defined macros or enter the dangerous zone of changing primitives; fwiw: i've been running the highest level of protection already for years now (error mode) .. you can try \enabledirectives [overloadmode=error] at the top of your file to see how badly you behave -- a few fixes here and there (related to mailing list questions and reports); nothing spectacular -- some preparations wrt the new signalling mechanism(s) ... more about that after the meeting -- additional warnings (or abort) in case one runs from tex live and missing or expected files -- we're playing with some potential speedups but given the litle gain they might not make it into the lot eventually (if you run into bottlenecks, lets me know, with examples) if there are unexpected side effects, let me know and i'll fix and upload again Hans ps. i might reintroduce the beta/current updating scheme at some point .. still undecided ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Opening quotation mark
by John Was 15 Jun '25

15 Jun '25

Hello I have found that trep=yes gives me correct closing quotation marks in the commercial font Baskerville MT Pro if I type the simple ' as usual in TeX; but opening quotation marks remain as ` or ``. In XeTeX I could get round this with e.g.: \catcode"0060=\active% 0060 is the position for ` \def`{{\char"2018}}% 2018 is the position for ‘ (opening quote) But this fails in ConTexT. Any idea how to fix this, with or without any \catcode fiddling? (In XeTeX the font works as expected if I just give mapping=tex-text when setting up the font call, but I don't see an obvious version of that in ConTexT.)
