[NTG-context] Struggling with ttf on Windows XP
Hello, I recently upgraded my 3-year old installation of MikTex to the latest version. I had a document which contained glyphs from the windings.tff font. Once I upgraded, this didn't work anymore. So I tried to read around to find out how it works, and so on, but couldn't find anything... I have generated an afm and tfm files from the ttf font. I created a map file which references this. My tex file apparently loads the map file without problem (at least pdftex doesn't complain). But, when I call \showfont, the generated table is empty, it doesn't contain any symbol. (I'm at work right now, so I can't post any code snippet) Does anyone have any clue or could anyone point me to any resource to guide me? Thanks, Best regards, Frederic ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

If someone can tell me which part of my redistro should stay, I can easily rearrange matters such that such a minimal install is possible. since the minimals have many fonts, they are not that small; they use the [10pt] subsets of cbgreek and cmsuper [karl bery and i hav ebeen playing with subsets and if i'm right tex live now also ships with subsets] which saves many megs; the minimals also don't have latex and other macro packages (only plain tex as this is used in mptopdf); this may safe quite some megs (as well as speeds up file searching) because latex ships with sourcetrees as well also, nothing metafont is included plus a subset of binaries, think of: afm2pl afm2tfm aleph dvips dvitodvi dvitomp dvipdfmx kpseaccess kpsestat kpsewhich mktexlsr mpost mpto pdfetex pltotf texmfstart tftopl ttf2afm ttf2tfm vftovp vptovf (+ xetex) (+ some tool stubs) it's still on taco/mine's agenda to set up a gforce minimal repos at fabrice's server for packagers Hans ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Can you post the files someplace (tetex and non tetex variants). (maybe the tetex context is an old one and does not use latin modern; latin modern gives larger files due to extensive hinting - read: better quality; if so, a 600 page doc will have the same difference of about 218 kb) you can run pdffonts to check this Hans ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

When the footnote is typeset the footnote number is placed beneath the
first line of the footnote text. What can I do to have the footnote
number in its normal position?

so what do you use otherwise (instead of tetex)?
Under Linux (Slackware 10.2) I have only TeTeX:
pdftex = This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
pdflatex = This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
Under Windows (2000 Pro) using MikTeX:
pdftex = This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a (MiKTeX 2.4)
pdflatex = This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.4) (*)
(*) I am using this one to create PDF files from LaTeX docs. For this
reason, I think, I have almost the same size of PDF files under Windows
(MiKTeX/LaTeX) and Linux (TeTeX/ConTeXt).
ConTeXt premable:
\mainlanguage[italian]

I see that the PDF generated by MiKTeX (the bigger one) looks a little

In a recent thread with Mojca I give instructions to do basic utf-8 or Latin-transcription Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu typesetting in ConTeXt using Aleph and the basic unicode fonts that came with Omega. The font is very basic, though. Much more advanced stuff is possible as well, using better fonts, and I am working on an advanced Arabic-script typesetting system which, while still experimental, produces some of the nicest Arabic script available-) (I can send you samples if you like off-list) No manuals, but go here to get a flavor of things: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d97ost/omega-example.html tex/context/base/m-gamma.tex tex/context/base/type-omg.tex You can use whatever font your client prefers, particularly if it does not involve a lot of ligatures or vowels (most fonts used in Persian typesetting are pretty basic in this regard, with the very important exception of Nastaliq, which TeX/Aleph cannot do quite yet...) As soon as Giuseppe and Hans get in sync on the future direction of things in the internals of aleph and pdftex-) we should soon have Arabic-script typesetting approaching a par with the Latin. Hopefully the two projects will merge soon, and there has already been some movement in that direction. In particular, the microtypography features of pdftex may hopefully be extended to include, e.g., glyph substitution to get optimal paragraph justification (since Arabic script does not have hyphenation, etc) Best Idris Thanks very much. The OP is not a client but another eager TeX novice.

Their vertical dimensions depend on the amount of content. They don't

Perhaps not, but it's remained untouched in our repository for a

I have been using ConTeXt for a short time now, after I switched from LaTeX. I find it quite great, but I have two queries regarding it. I am using teTeX in Debian (unstable). 1. Are the Lucida Bright fonts used in the documentation part of the complete teTeX documentation or are they fonts which need to be obtained separately? I have read a thread about this on the archive of this list, and tried all possible combinations suggested there in vain. 2. The tutorial tells us to refer to other sources (The TeX Book) for more on Math typesetting. Is there any online resource which would explain TeX (as opposed to LaTeX) math? Thanks.
