Maybe it is beacuse of the encoding of your .tex  file.
The encoding of my tex source file is cp936 and I edit with gvim.
ConTeXt compiles OK when processing Chinese. I din't use 
\enableregime[utf] or \language[cn] to typeset Chinese.

[NTG-context] float over both text and margin

2005-12-08 Thread Vit Zyka

Hi.

1) I am unsuccessfully solving the problem of making float spanning both 
text and margin. More over, it is inside columnset... Example follows. 
Is there some solution?

-
\showframe
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setuplayout[margin=0pt,rightmargin=1.5cm,width=middle]

\starttext
\startcolumnset
  \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \endgraf\blank}
  \placefloat[page]{none}
{\framed
 [width=\dimexpr\makeupwidth+\rightmarginwidth+
\rightmargindistance\relax,
  height=\textheight]
 {Here I would like to be a float over both text and margin. How?}
}
  \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \endgraf\blank}
\stopcolumnset

\stoptext
-

2) As a side effect I discover that in the following example the float 
is over the text (so some text is disappeared).

-
\showframe
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setuplayout[margin=0pt,rightmargin=1.5cm,width=middle]

\starttext
\startcolumnset
  \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \endgraf}
  \placefloat[page]{none}
{\framed
   [width=\makeupwidth,height=\textheight,background=screen]
   {Here I would like to be a float over both text and margin. How?}
}
  \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\stopcolumnset

\stoptext

Hrm. Not normally, but as I've been tessellating Arabesque borders

I've a huge collection of fonts, and I guess I should finally update  
the ConTeXt font packages on my homepage and add some nice freeware

I am a user of METAPOST. Lately I've started using your METAFUN. I

The problem is, the macro "drawpointlabels" works well and produced
the output as shown in metafun-p.pdf only in RedHat 9. But the labels
will not appear when the same program is run  either in Fedora or
Slackware. I compared the macros present in RedHat 9 with those in
Fedora and Slackware. There seems no difference.

Please suggest a solution  to overcome this problem with porting the
program.

metafun assume at some points a cooperation between mp and tex, so maybe 
that piece is failing


does

texexec --automp --pdf yourfile

work?

(if this is time-critical, you can try the minimal linus distribution on

btw, best post this to the context mailing list since there may be
