[NTG-context] ConTeXt: specify a path to font in \definefontfamily

2019-11-19 Thread Krešimir Cindrić
I'm *very* new to ConTeXt, so please excuse the newbie question. I'm trying
to load a font from a file. The .otf files are stored in a directory named
fonts/ which is in the directory of the .tex file I'm trying to compile.

This code does not work, and reverts to the default font:

\definefontfamily [mainface][serif] [My Font]
  [tf=file:./fonts/MyFont.otf,
   it=file:./fonts/MyFont-It.otf,
   bf=file:./fonts/MyFont-Bd.otf,
   bi=file:./fonts/MyFont-BdIt.otf]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext\title{Hello, world!}

Hello World! \emph{Hi!}
\stoptext

However, if I copy the .otf files into the same directory as the .tex file,
and write tf=file:MyFont.otf etc, then everything works fine.

How do I specify a relative path to the font, inside the .tex file?

In LaTeX, I would use fontspec package and do the following:

\setmainfont {MyFont.otf}
 [Path=./fonts/,
  ItalicFont  = MyFont-It.otf]

However, I couldn't find the equivalent syntax for \definefontfamily in
ConTeXt.

Just to mention, I am using ConTeXt version: 2019.03.21 21:39 as part of
TeX Live, on Manjaro Linux.

Regards,

Krešimir

Re: [NTG-context] Exchangeing content of variables between luacode and context

2019-11-19 Thread Henning Hraban Ramm
Hi Rudolf,
storing variable states within the script sounds like AppleScript…

Why don’t you write your settings into some file (a Lua table representation 
would make sense, otherwise something like JSON or INI) and read that in in 
every run, if it exists?

No, sorry, I can't.

My 'actual problem' is more or less a design problem: Should in a book project
ConTeXt be the master and Luacode the slave or vice versa? Both seems possible.

The task to solve is to set a photo album with say 300 DIN A4 landscape pages.
On every page there should be 1 to 4 columns filled with photos and texts mostly
defined in layers.

Up to now I made all in ConTeXt manually by trying, for instance::
- To estimate the width of layers, if neighboured layers should contain photos 
of
  same height with respect to center horizontally all columns at end of page.
- To complete abbreviations of long picture names; it's rather annoying doing
  this by copy and paste with hundreds of photo names; instead I'd like to type
  a short code and Luacode should complete it to the full name.
- To estimate the shift amount of all columns together in order to horizontally
  get them centered on the page.

All of these tasks can be made best by Luacode functions. And I'd like to save
their results in the ConTeXt program permanently. With 'tokens.setters.macro()'
it's possible only in the same, Luacode calling ConTeXt run. In the following
run, the macro shows its original value again and the Luacode program must be
called again to alter it.

So I've to think about making Luacode the master and ConTeXt the slave. Then 
it'd
be possible to embody Luacode's results permanently in the ConTeXt code. Vice 
versa
a solution could be to store Luacode's results in a flattened Lua table on disc.
But the perfect relating to their ConTeXt page remains difficult when inserting
or deleting of pages in an ensemble of 300 pages should become necessary. 
Another
much simpler solution would be the proposal above, namely, to copy the ConTeXt
program step by step and page by page to another file and introducing the 
Luacode
results simultaneously. 

In [1] there is a chapter with "stepper" commands, but I didn't understand that,
so I can't say, whether they are suitable for this issue.

Re: [NTG-context] context command line interface documentation?

2019-11-19 Thread Philipp A.
That’s pretty cool, overriding that hook allows to build a ConTeXt language
server for editors like VS Code!
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/

Sadly I’m still a bit lost: When calling `context file_with_error.tex`, I
see “This is LuaTeX, Version 1.10 … tex error on line … ?” and it waits for
input.
You said that context stops when encountering an error which isn’t the case
for me. Any ideas why?

[NTG-context] layers and \llap

2019-11-19 Thread Pablo Rodriguez
Hi Hans,

this comes from a previous message about an issue with \llap and layers.

Here is the sample:

\defineviewerlayer[print][state=stop,printable=yes]
\defineviewerlayer[view][state=start,printable=no]

\starttext
\startviewerlayer[view]\color[red]{\TeX}\stopviewerlayer%
\startviewerlayer[print]\llap{\ConTeXt}\stopviewerlayer%

\input zapf
\stoptext

If the layer with \llap is placed last, disabling the view layer
disables all the text.

Everything works fine if the layer with \llap is placed first.

I guess this might be a bug.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Re: [NTG-context] Widgets: Any good examples for developing JS-enabled PDFs that calculate?

2019-11-19 Thread Paul Mazaitis


Some further progress!

On 18 Nov 2019, at 13:56, Hans Hagen wrote:
the problem with calculate is that there are also settings related to 
it (plus some built-in addition stuff, at least that's what i see in 
the viewer preferences and such, which is likely to interfere)


From what I've been able to gather, there are three ways to get 
JavaScript into a PDF using Acrobat (or other software that uses the 
Acrobat way of doing things):


 - Predefined Calculations (use a UI to build a simple recipe)

 - Calculations built with Simplified Field Notation (operators and 
field names - I don't understand this one too well)


 - Custom Calculation Script (Acrobat JavaScript)

I _think_ these are relatively exclusive: I don't believe there's 
anything about the first two systems that interferes with the third (and 
I'm not sure how the UI would work for the first two in an LMTX context, 
anyway?).



(and calculate doens't seem to be called at all)


After digging around in the spec and comparing output, it looks like 
adding the CO (Calculation Order, PDF Spec 12.7.2) key and an array:


  /CO [15 0 R]

...to the AcroForm object is enough for the indicated field(s) to react 
to the internal calculation event.


The way I tested this is I inserted the above stanza (with the 
appropriate object ID) into the uncompressed LMTX PDF, and that was all 
it took for the calculate JS to start working for the total field.


(I likely wrecked the xref table in the process, but the PDF was still 
functional...)


I then built a form with a chained calculation (a second field that 
doubled the total field) and ended up with a CO entry like this:


/CO [13 0 R 19 0 R]

...and I believe that the order of the objects in this array is how the 
calculation precedence is determined.


So! This is bigger than just adding the CO array to enable calculations; 
there needs to be enough of an interface to also indicate calculation 
order somehow in the .tex file.


I'd love to have this as a feature, but I will cheerfully defer if this 
has become ridiculous...

Do we need to wikify these things? A page with "if this happens, do

Re: [NTG-context] context command line interface documentation?

2019-11-19 Thread Hans Hagen

Hi,

What you’re describing is the behavior I’m trying to achieve. The error 
location reporting works for me, but context will still continue after 
an error for me:
If I don’t specify --nonstopmode or so it’ll try to recover, and even 
when I specify it, there will be other output after the error.


What version are you running? The latest lmtx should quite after an 
error. When no proper document can be created it will provide an error 
document.



Not that the script actually expects quotes in argv?


The command line parsing is kind of special

- lua(metatex) itself has to intercept some flags and act on it
- the context (and mtxrun) script also need them (as script)
- some passed arguments are used to drive the process
- and potentially common flags should not interfere

--foo
--foo=bar
--foo="bar bar"

filename
"file name"

should all work (also with special characters but of course there can be 
issues i don't know about); so intrepretation happens in the engine, in 
mtxrun (script0, context (script), context (macro package)


when you run context you can see the exact call to luatex and how 
arguments get passed (some get prefixed with "c:")


concerning the wiki, best discuss that with Pavneet (in cc) as he's in 
charge of (re)organizing the wiki; if you have suggestions for any of 
the manuals in the distribution that deal with this, you can just sedn 
them to me

There is a easier / safer way: open de folder with ‘mtxrun’ in it using Finder. 
Then select 
‘Open’ from the popup menu on the mtxrun executable. That will give you dialog 
with that 
’This app was downloaded …’ error, but now with an extra ‘Open’ button on it. 
Click that,
and it will start mtxrun once. Running mtxrun itself this ways is pointless, 
but it makes
Apple start to remember that *you* trust this mtxrun binary, and from now on it 
can be
used normally.

On packaged distributed Apps you download from the web, you can also hold down 
CTRL while 
opening the App so you don’t have to do the Finder step, but I am not certain 
that works with
command-line binaries (and cannot test any more since I already did the ‘fix’ 
above).

It is a bit tedious, but sort of I see Apple’s point. Making it harder to run 
downloaded
unsigned executables is probably a good thing.


Best wishes,
Taco

In macOS Catalina Apple introduced “notarization”, i.e. anything you

TUG2019 and described in the corresponding TUGboat article:

sounds like a lot of work ... now, with these nicely signed binaries, 
what about tex (or even lua code) ... in principle each of the 
additional files (with macros) should be tested too because they're 
basically programs themselves


(my ancient macbook os not updatable so i can't test it anyway, can't 
even run tex on it any more i think, so i'm forever protected against tex)
