You're right, but I've to protect suse a bit: this was only an issue with a
very new MKIV (new logic how to use TEXINPUTS), and suse could really not
know about that. TEXINPUTS was quite useful, because every user could put
his own personal directory in it, and there did not need to be an ls-R
file.

Cheers, Peter

I've just compiled it with mkii and mkiv. At first sight they looked 
identical, but in mkiv the dots in the first line are in red. I didn't 
study the code (quite long minimal example) so I don't know what was 
your aim.

Doesn't work now, so I'm sending it to you off-list.

  Setting TEXINPUTS is not at all friendly, that's for sure.

Hello,
What's the issue with suse? I'm using it since 1995 without problems.
Now I'm just adding the minimals to /opt/context to have up to date luatex

Ok that works great, I take it that this is the canonical way to use hyphenated

Slightly off topic, but what math fonts do you use with Palatino. I am 
using TeX Gyre Pagella and pxfonts, but the pxfonts have started to look 
ugly. The other free option, mathpazo, only contains greek, and all the 
symbols are borrowed from CM. So, I am thinking of using a commericial

is expensive at $155. Are there other math fonts that I could use with

I am using \filename to type-set filenames.  Some of these are very  long
(greater than 30 characters) and overhang
the right hand margin, sometimes even disappearing off the edge of the
page.  The first line break is just before the
full stop.  There are usually plenty of spaces in the names.  Can I get

[NTG-context] Keeping section head with index

2008-09-17 Thread richard . stephens

I want to put an index in its own section using

\section{Index}
\placeindex

I cannot use \completeindex because that starts a new chapter, not section.
Unfortunately, the header often gets separated from the index, being left
as the last line on the page.
I searched the mail archive and found a suggestion to use:

\setuphead[section][before={\testpage[4]}]

but  this affects the vertical spacing of all section heads.  Can anyone
either:
1) suggest an alternative way of keeping the section head with the index,
or
2) show me how to maintain the vertical spacing of headers when using the
above construct.

Thanks very much.

Richard

This depends on your system, on windows you could place them in
c:\windows\fonts and context finds them, on a Mac you could put them
in your local font directory and the y are also found. On linux you could
set the OSFONTDIR variable with the path to your font directory.

[NTG-context] Interesting Bug with LuaTex, \setfontfeature{oldstyle}, colors and tikz

2008-09-17 Thread holzminister
Hi!

I wanted to use colors in my tikz-graphics. The following example
gives a nice red line with "texexec":

>>>
\enableregime[utf-8]
\mainlanguage [de]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\usemodule[tikz]

\definecolor[zeug][r=1, g=0, b=0]

\starttext

\starttikzpicture
 \draw [zeug, line width=1ex, cap=round] (-7.65cm,-1mm) -- 
(7.65cm,-1mm);
\stoptikzpicture

\stoptext
>>>

When I compile my document with "texexec --lua" I get a black line.

Adding "\setfontfeature{oldstyle}" to the preamble causes "texexec
--lua" to break with a failure.

>>>
Package pgfbase: Error! Unsupported color model `'. Sorry.
error: ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-otf.lua:1998:
attempt to index local 'tfmdata' (a nil value)
.
\endpgfpicture ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] }\endgroup \hss \egroup
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] \endgrou...
>>>

Does anyone know how this comes?

Excuse me, I wasn't paying attention. You're mixing two things here.  
 From your earlier mail:

> I just unzipped it into texmf-local and execute the command:
>texmfstart texexec --make --all

This creates mkii formats.

This uses mkiv. If you want to use mkiv, you need to update the mkiv  
database as well:

luatools --generate

and then possibly remake the mkiv format manually with luatools --ini  
--compile cont-en

Re: [NTG-context] The problem of updating context manually using cont-tmf.zip

2008-09-17 Thread Jianning Dong
Here is the output:

kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMF'
{/home/ben/.texlive2008/texmf-config,/home/ben/.texlive2008/texmf-var,/home/ben/texmf,!!/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-config,!!/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-var,!!/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf,!!/usr/local/texlive/2008/../texmf-local,!!/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist}

and

kpsewhere context.tex
/usr/local/texlive/2008/../texmf-local/tex/context/base/context.tex
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex

but it seems that it's just OK.

The problem seems to be the order in which TeX searches and uses the  
various TEXMF trees. Can you post the output of

kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMF'

and of

kpsewhere context.tex

No, you don't have to do this.

*.ttf -> fonts/truetype
*.otf -> fonts/opentype

You could also use them from your OS font directory (this is what I did).
