Some of these dvips support files are needed to use the pstricks module.

looks like it needs some prologue file (a blob of ps code), maybe you 
can find it on ctan ... it might depend on how the dvi was made (maybe 
the pro file is loaded via a special)

[NTG-context] parallel texts, setuptabulate and widows-orphans control

[massifr]

Hello list,
I've found that \start ... \stoptabulate can be used to format parallel texts,
with paragraphs that are synchronized and split well on different pages.

I also found that they don't play well with widow-orphan penalties.
Try this:

\setuptabulate[split=yes]

\starttext
  \setpenalties\widowpenalties{1}{1}
  \setpenalties\clubpenalties{1}{1}
  \starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth}
\NC
\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth}
\NC\NR
  \stoptabulate
\stoptext

The penalties' settings make some lines overlap.
Comment out those two lines and everything works well.
Not a great problem, since I don't think you need
widow-orphan control in parallel texts.

It took me some time to understand what was making 
lines overlap.
So I leave it here for future reference, if someone else
stumbles on the same problem.

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with Cambria (in Windows)

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi Wolfgang,

here's what I get:


c:\context>mtxrun -script font --list --all cambria*

cambria cambriabolditalic c:/windows/fonts/cambriaz.ttf
cambriabold cambriabold c:/windows/fonts/cambriab.ttf
cambriabolditalic cambriabolditalic c:/windows/fonts/cambriaz.ttf
cambriaitalic cambriaitalic c:/windows/fonts/cambriai.ttf
cambriamath cambriamath c:/windows/fonts/cambria.ttc index:
2
cambriamathnormal cambriamath c:/windows/fonts/cambria.ttc index:
2
cambriamathregular cambriamath c:/windows/fonts/cambria.ttc index:
2
cambrianormal cambriaitalic c:/windows/fonts/cambriai.ttf


Doesn't look good, does it. Windows Fonts shows Cambria Regular (and I
can use it in e.g. Word) and then bold, italic and bold italic, but it
seems like the regular is gone from the list above. I may have a
problem...
1. You can try to reload the font database with "mtxrun --script fonts 
--reload --force"

   and try it again.

2. You can write your own typescripts for cambria (the existing ones 
rely on normalized
   names to support various versions of cambria which use different 
file names).


3. You can use the \definefontfamily command to load the fonts.

%% begin example
\definefontfamily [manuals] [rm] [Cambria]
\definefontfamily [manuals] [ss] [Calibri] [scale=0.95]
\definefontfamily [manuals] [tt] [Courier] [scale=0.90]
\definefontfamily [manuals] [mm] [Cambria Math]

\setupbodyfont[manuals,10pt]

\starttext

\input tufte

\stoptext
%% end example

Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] uppercase, small caps, numerals and German capital sharp s

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hello,

I'm new to ConTeXt and this list. After a long time of using LaTeX and 
xeLaTeX I was finally lured into trying ConTexT by its ability of grid 
typesetting.


Today's problem is a bit complex. In a book project I have several 
points where stuff is capitalized or turned into caps+smallcaps or 
pure smallcaps. My guess is that that should work either with 
\WORD{Stuff}, \Cap{Stuff} and \cap{Stuff} or with \uppercase, \sc, and 
{\sc\lowercase{Stuff}}. (Not quite, it seems)


I'll use a commercial font called Calluna, but have added Linux 
Biolinum O to the example for those who don't want to download Calluna 
(the "Regular" can be "bought" for free, e.g. at 
https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/exljbris/calluna).


Both Calluna and Biolinum contain the glyph "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER 
SHARP S" at "1E9E. Calluna also has a small caps version at "F727", 
while Biolinum has it at "E092. I'd like to use these glyphs in the 
capitalizations mentioned, but that only works erratically (cf. example).


Secondly, Calluna comes with oldstyle numerals switched on, which is 
nice for normal text, but should change to proportional lining numbers 
in uppercase and to small-cap proportional lining numbers in an 
all-small-cap text. I'm not sure what I'd want in a caps+smallcaps 
context, but certainly not oldstyle numerals with their descenders.
Use separate threads for each problem. The uppercase sharp s replacement 
with \WORD can be changed in the next beta.


%% begin example
\usemodule[lingual-de]

\setupbodyfont[libertine]

\starttext

Gruß Straße Buße

\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}

\enabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]

\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}

\disabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]

\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}

\stoptext
%% end example
