Re: [NTG-context] [OS X TeX] formats for ConTeXt-XeTeX
OK, a while ago I've found the XeTeX page in Patrick's garden: http:// wiki.contextgarden.net/XeTeX Now it works with both (pdfetex and xetex). Works fine in Terminal: texexec --xtx text.tex But the next problem is TeXShop. How do I trigger ConTeXt-XeTeX in TeXShop? The only solution I've found is: 1) start the document with %&program=xetex 2) in TeXShop's menu choose "Typeset": "ConTeXt" and "Personal Script" This will typeset a ConTeXt file with XeTeX. But at the end of TeXShop's log it says: "This script has been deprecated. Please call simpdftex latex test.dvi instead." So, what was wrong? What's the correct way?

If you want both xetex and pdftex, you need to have two different format-files, both called cont-en.fmt. They need to be in two different subdirectories: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex [for pdfetex] /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/xetex [for xetex] Remove the cont-*.fmt files in the .../web2c directory and regenerate the formats with texexec.

After an i-installation running ConTeXt (by pdfeTeX) works right out of the box (without any commandline action), same for plain XeTeX (plainTeX by XeTeX?). But running a ConTeXt document by XeTeX fails: TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 fixing engine variable : pdfetex executable : xetex format : cont-en inputfile : text output : pdftex interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.99b (Web2C 7.5.3) (WARNING: translate-file "natural.tcx" ignored) ---! /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-en.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) return code : 256 run time : 1 seconds total run time : 1 seconds Someone knows what to do?

Re: [NTG-context] Equation Numbering bug?
Aditya Mahajan wrote:

It is a bug. \placeformula turns on formula number processing
(\settrue \handleformulanumber), but it never resets it.
I guess this could be done right at the end of each formula,
like so:
\unprotect
\def\dostopformula
{\doplaceformulanumber
\getvalue{\e!stop\formulaparameter\c!alternative\v!formula}%
\resetlastlinewidth
\nonoindentation
\dochecknextindentation{\??fm\currentformula}%
\egroup
\setfalse\handleformulanumber %TH, new
\dorechecknextindentation}
\protect
Hans, I am not completely sure this is the right place. Please check!

I am very much a beginner at metafun, so the following is probably
garbage, but to its defence I can say that it actually achieves the
goal :)
There are two files:
% myenv.tex: contains the symbol definition
\usesymbols[jmn]
\defineconversion
[gnuplot]
[$\bullet$,
$\circ$,
$\star$,
x,
{\symbol[navigation 1][NextJump]}]
% end
% sym.tex: the main file
\environment myenv
\startMPinclusions
def draw_symbol(expr X, Y, Number) =
label(textext(char 92 & "input myenv " &
char 92 & "convertnumber{gnuplot}{" &
decimal Number & "}"),(X,Y))
enddef
\stopMPinclusions
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic
draw_symbol(0,0,3);
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic
\stoptext
% end
I could not figure out how to use a 'verbatimtex' preamble either,
so this loads the myenv definition file for each label. Ugly, but
the best I can manage with my current knowledge.
Cheers,
Taco

I must have been half asleep when i wrote that, because I wrote down absolute nonsense. I double-checked all my local font files, and there is no way to actually do what I said, sorry. The graph macros assume that the dot is in the standard ascii location, and I don't dare trying to extend graph.mp to make that configurable (I don't really understand those macros).

[NTG-context] formats for ConTeXt-XeTeX
Hi, again, after an i-installer update, my ConTeXt-XeTeX typesetting failed. Probably I'd never understood how to make the required formats (what command, what order) properly... Can someone please tell me what's the right way for using ConTeXt-XeTeX and ConTeXt-pdfeTeX?

Re: [NTG-context] Reconfigure mpgraph
> Can't you use an Euler text font? These have the dot in the right place. > > Cheers, Taco Hi, I'm not sure what font you're referring to; it would at least have to include all the Euler digits. I tried zeurm10, but it has a right-pointing triangle at position 2e. The fonts in my bluesky/euler subdirectory (euex, eufb, eufm, eurb, eurm, eusb and eusm) also don't work. Can you tell me the name of the text font including the dot? Thanks for your answer, Sebastian ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] Dense encoding, part II
Hi, Here is my two cents: I agree with Mojca that lots of accents (both uppercase and lowercase) would be nice to have, just in case. I would really like to see the ascii versions of the keyboard symbols: circumflex, doublequote and tilde etc. (Texnansi normally has a sort of orphaned accent instead of the ascii symbol, which is not all that usable) Then there are straightforward symbols like copyright, registered and trademark; The currencies (at least euro, dollar, pound, yen, but preferably many more) A set of itemization bullets and dashes (some fonts have square ones) The 'text-style' calculus operations like multiply and divide, plus and minus, plusminus, arrowleft and arrow right, text fractions. I guess there are still missing punctuation characters as well. Also, as many units and symbols that can appear in running text as possible please. centigrade and perthousan, but also some greek letters like micro, Ohm, alpha & beta (biology), gamma (radiology). These symbols are normally considered part of the text, so they should not depend on math mode. For example, if your write \beta-blocker, you want the \beta to be bold sans-serif inside a bold sans-serif section head.
