[NTG-context] Locating pdf files in the texmf directory structure
I asked:
>> (4) Where can I put personal files that I would like context to use
>> regularly.
which Marco kindly answered:
> In the directory TEXMFHOME points to or texmf-local.
This works for my personal file env_letter.tex which is called with
\environment env_letter.tex.This file env_letter.tex calls the
letter module, sets some correspondenceparameters, etc.
But env_letter.tex calls two pdf files with \externalfigure (see
below). These two pdf files are also in the directory pointed to by
TEXMFHOME but they show up in the finished document as gray "state:
unknown" boxes
Does this involve "tracking" as discussed in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure ?
Thank you very much for guidance.
best,
Michael

With the “inner” and “outer” keywords context uses
the “left” and “right” locations dependent on the page.
The feature doesn’t work in MkIV because two commands

Re: [NTG-context] Placefigure inner/outer
No. I want to place the figure to the left of the text if it is on a
odd page and to the right of the text if it is on a even page. Thus
the same effect "left" and "right" have as keywords, but depending on
the page it is on.

Often modules contain a line like
\writestatus{loading}{Gnuplot (ver: 2013.05.13)}
which outputs the version. But not all modules do. I don't know of
any reliable way to tell the version. Modules do not even have to be
versioned, It's up to the module writers.

There's no built-in way to achieve that. Since ConTeXt can't tell
which version of a module is installed, it can't prioritise a newer
version. You have to remember to remove your manually installed
module after it gets updated.

You can use the texmf-local directory.

In the directory TEXMFHOME points to or texmf-local.

[NTG-context] How to update context modules; thank you, write-up, and a couple of questions
> I asked how to update context modules.
Thank you very much to Marco for guidance, and I would like to write
up how I used his advice to update a module without first-setup.sh. (I
use a ubuntu/PPA installation of context and hence don't use
first-setup.sh, which would make updating easy).
1. I downloaded the current version of the module (letter;
http://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/t-letter-2013.07.31.zip in this
case) from http://modules.contextgarden.net/
2. I already have a personal /home/me/texmf directory (or would have
created it). I put the zipped module update in this directory and
unzipped it preserving the subdirectory structure.
3. I set the environment variable TEXMFHOME to my personal texmf
directory ("export TEXMFHOME=/home/me/texmf")
4. I ran "mtxrun --script update --modules=letter" to tell context
where to look for the new version of the letter module.
I could now tell from the output that the updated version of the
letter module was installed, and I also confirmed from the log file:
resolvers > modules > 'letter' is loaded
interface > macros > processed mkvi file
'/home/me/texmf/tex/context/third/letter/base/s-cor-01.mkvi', delta 36
interface > macros > processed mkvi file
'/home/me/texmf/tex/context/third/letter/base/s-cor-01.mkvi', delta 0
(before the update, the lines above read /usr/share/texmf... instead
of /home/me/texmf...)
I hope that this write-up is helpful to others. Please feel free to
comment or amend if I've misunderstood.
I have several questions:
(1) Is it possible to tell which version of a module is installed,
i.e., that I am using the 2013.07.31 version of letter? (The version
of context appears in the log file but not the version of the module.)
(2) After I update of the entire context installation, how will I tell
context to again use the /usr/share/texmf version instead of the
personal version?
(3) Could I have done this installation into /usr/share/texmf and used
"sudo mtxrun..." to make the updated module work on a multi-user
system?
(4) Where can I put personal files that I would like context to use
regularly. For example I have three personal files: "env_letter.tex"
which I include with "\environment env_letter"; a pdf file with my
logo; and a pdf file with a scan of my signature. Is there a standard
directory to hold such files, and how do I let context know where to
find them, for example, with mtxrun? (It seems like a waste to copy
them to a new location every time I want to write a letter).
Thank you very much.
Yours,
Michael

[NTG-context] kerning with buggy libertine
Hi Hans,
this is a bug report thanks to Khaled:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/126650/14066
In short: the font loader applies the kerning of libertine
version 5.3.0 even though this appears to be broken in the font.
Context translation of the example:
\definefontfeature [kerning] [mode=node,smcp=yes,kern=yes]
\definefont [libertineserifsmallcaps] [file:LinLibertine_R.otf*kerning]
\definefont [libertinesanssmallcaps] [file:LinBiolinum_R.otf*kerning]
\def\demotext{Vacillate Vaccine Vapour Vanish Va...}
\starttext
{\libertineserifsmallcaps \demotext}\par
{\libertinesanssmallcaps \demotext}\par
\stoptext
(Doesn’t occur in base mode.) The technical details are in the
thread Khaled references.
Best regards,
Philipp

[NTG-context] \externalfigure doesn't find mps file in subdirectory
\externalfigure won't find a metapost eps file in a subdirectory, if the
mps has the numerical (.1) extension.
Here's a minimal example (test.tex):
\setupexternalfigures[directory={fig}]
\starttext
\externalfigure[simple.1]
\stoptext
where fig/simple.1 is from a simple .mp file that fills a 1-cm box (see
below).
The resulting test.pdf shows the gray box
name : simple.1
file : simple.1
state: unknown
Only this combination of circumstances triggers the problem. Giving the
full path ("\externalfigure[fig/simple.1]") works fine, as does renaming
the file to simple.mps (within the fig/ directory), as does using
instead simple-1.pdf (made with mptopdf).
Thus, I have several workarounds, but it might be useful to figure out
what is not working. I've noticed this problem on and off for a while
now, but only now made a minimal example. (Is the path-searching code
trying to append extensions and directory prefixes at the same time, and
thus not finding the file?)
This is with MkIV 2013.05.28 from vanilla TL2013.
For completeness, here's simple.1, although any file will show the
problem equally well:

Thanks, Philipp!
Now I realized that before the first use of "switchtobodyfont" I need to write
"definebodyfontenvironment". In this case, everything is fine.
I also found another way without definebodyfontenvironment:
\definemeasure[AAA][20.123pt]
\newdimen\BBB \BBB=25.127pt
\starttext
TEXT
% ok
\normalizebodyfontsize\normalizedAAA{\measure{AAA}}
\switchtobodyfont[\normalizedAAA]
AAA \normalizedAAA
% ok
\normalizebodyfontsize\normalizedBBB\BBB
\switchtobodyfont[\normalizedBBB]
BBB \normalizedBBB
\stoptext
Is this code correct? Or it's better for some reason using
"definebodyfontenvironment"?

Hi Dmitriy,
the size-related arguments to \switchtobodyfont and
\setupbodyfont aren’t real TeX dimensions but identifiers for
predefined bodyfont sets. Example:
\def\mainfontsize{20pt}
\definebodyfontenvironment [\mainfontsize]
\starttext
TEXT
\switchtobodyfont [\mainfontsize]
TEXT 20pt
\stoptext

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Simple Context Application to Cards
This is a trivial appliation for Context, but a useful one.
I plan on designed some business cards, but am new to Context.
My idea to to have a logo image in the upper left hand corner, with the company
name to the right of it. This would be two block elements at the top of the
card.
In the middle will be the name, and below that the address, tel, etc.
-- Regarding the two blocks at the top of the card:
Something like the below:
logo here Company name here
.--.
| |
| o XYZ Printing Company |
| o |This top area is the subject of
this mail.
| oCard Design & Services|
.
| |
| |
|First_Name Last_Name | All this below the ... line is
done.
| |
| contact information|
| |
'--'
I take this as two blocks aligned horizontally on the 91mm x 55mm card stock.
>From my reading the Context options for doing this are:
The margins are so small that using
\inmarge{\externalfigure[company-logo][width=\marginwidth] } can not work.
Which option should I pursue?
a.) \startcombination ... \externalfigure + text block \stopcombination
a.) \placefigurehere[... force]
\startcombination ... \externalfigure + text block \stopcombination
c.) \startfiguretext ... \stopfiguretext
d.) some other Context mechanism.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

[NTG-context] Setup font size by dimension variable
Hi all,
I want to set the font size by using the dimension variable, but it doesn't
work. What am I doing wrong?
\definemeasure[AAA][20pt]
\newdimen\BBB \BBB=20pt
\starttext
TEXT
% don't work
\switchtobodyfont[\measure{AAA}]
AAA
% don't work
\switchtobodyfont[\the\BBB]
BBB
% ok
\switchtobodyfont[20pt]
TEXT 20pt
\stoptext
