I'm seeing this thread, and think about \setupparagraphnumbering. It doesn't have the configuration options that allow the numbers to be set in the text, but it strikes me as a good departure.

Here is what I have in the file: > >\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] >\setupbodyfont[pos,11pt] By some grepping into the sources I found the problem. It seems that the file type-pre.tex has changed between the versions I have been using. Now there is the extra line: \starttypescriptcollection[previous] which seems to cause the problem of "unknown variant: pos". Without knowing anything more, a simple "usetypescriptcollection" or something similar would be my guess. However, I am a bit afraid of the word "previous" and the comments in the beginning of the file. So, a question follows: I want to make documents with Times/Helvetica/Courier combination (as was done with "pos"). I do not have the commercial fonts, but I do have the TeX Live (or teTeX) distribution. What is the right way to get to use the fonts? I'm sorry but I do not like the Computer Modern in my reports and brochures. I want to have something else, and that something should be easy to use in any distribution.

Re: [NTG-context] Old-style figures throughout the document
Idris asked me about this during the previous thread, before I'd joined this list. Here's a slightly edited version of my reply about osf in documents with math: Well, I did the second-pass macros, and most of the math markup / editing of a recent translation of Thomas Harriot's _Artis Analyticae Praxis_ from 1631 or so, and it (of course) uses old style figures exclusively, pre-dating them, as would any mathematics (or other) text before the latter part of the 19th century. Old-style figures are named thusly since the now standard alternative lining figures are a fairly recent invention --- a Victorian (some would say debased) convention born out of expedience and a desire for better looking tabular material --- many railed against them, Charles Babbage being a notable example of the opposition to them (noting that in tables of logarithms, when used in difficult circumstances (I believe the example was an artillery officer doing ballistic calculations) absolute unambiguous representation could be a matter of life and death and that the extra differentiation provided by ascenders and descenders in numbers was highly desirable --- can't recall if Dr. Asaf Degani revisited this with his NASA reports on typography or no --- if not, he should've). Bringhurst's prescription (in his _Elements of Typographic Style) is perhaps a bit simplistic and doesn't acknowledge the typographical palette which has since become readily available in newer fonts (Hoefler Text in Mac OS X for example affords one proportional lining figures, monospaced lining figures, proportional old-style figures and lining old-style figures --- a text typeface I've been working on goes this even better, adding three-quarter height proportional and monospaced figures, and French versions of the old-style figure versions as well). Bringhurst's rule 3.2.3 would seem a better arbiter, ``Refer typographical disputes to the higher courts of speech and thinking.''. Knuth, in ``Typesetting Concrete Mathematics'' (_Digital Typography_, pg. 369) has a cogent observation when he writes, ``This experience proved to be worthwhile because it taught me that there is a useful and meaningful distinction between text numerals and mathematical numbers.'' There's been some discussion of old-style figures for mathematics on comp.text.tex, but I don't think any absolute statement could reasonably be made. It's certainly valid that using lining figures for mathematics does provide a useful distinction (and it also greatly eases typographic issues such as the placement of super and sub-scripts), but the counter-argument that mathematics is a valid textual discussion form is certainly appropriate as well. Arguably this would be a good place to use Bruce Roger's ``allusive typography'' principle. Anything set in a design more recent than Baskerville should use of lining figures in the absence of a reason not, while older texts could consider the use of old-style figures if concerns such as super and sub script placement can be worked out. But perhaps even that's too simplistic and formulaic. A far more productive thing probably would be to look at actual sample pages to consider things in context (sorry, couldn't resist the pun). Anyway, I hope this helps somewhat and is of use in your consideration.

[NTG-context] Old-style figures throughout the document
Hello, I am experimenting with old-style figures (or text figures, as they are also called). Basically, I would like every number in my source document to be typeset in old-style figures (OSF) by default unless stated otherwise. This means: I want to reverse the mechanism so that I can explicitly say where NOT to use OSF. As a work-around I found the following on the list: \defineconversion[number][\os] \defineconversion[numbers][\os] This does not work for plain digits in the text, but it works for generated numbers like page numbers, and, to some degree, for the generated numbers of floats. \starttext \chapter[sample]{Sample} \placefigure[here][a]{cap}{test} Reference: \in{figure}[a] \section[test]{Test} \stoptext In this setup, chapter numbers do not use OSF, and the numbers of figures (as well as references to them) use a mixed form, which looks rather odd. I can add \setuphead[chapter,section][numberstyle=\os] which makes heading numbers use OSF, but then again, references like \in[sample] do not work. Also, the numbering of the section changes from 1.1 to 1>1 (where > is a right pointing triangle). To see the results, you can process this: cut here - \defineconversion[number][\os] \defineconversion[numbers][\os] \setuphead[chapter,section][numberstyle=\os] \starttext \chapter[sample]{Sample} This is chapter \in[sample]. Below is \in{section}[test]. Here is \in{figure}[a] on \at{page}[a] \placefigure[here][a]{Caption}{FIGURE} \section[test]{Test} \stoptext cut here - Is there any way, to change the numbering style globally?

It was the only way I knew for creating vector graphics for both tex and pdftex with text and graphics interaction possibility. For that experience I strongly discourage for using it with context: 1) Xypic has the most obscure syntax I have ever seen. 2) Nobody knows if there are not some name-space problems (redefinitions). 3) Metapost is naturaly incorporated to context, strongly supported, higher possibilities and (my opinion) much more intuitive. So I think that such a contextgarden xypic page would be only confusing. vit P.S. If you are still interesting google for xypic manual. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
