[NTG-context] Test suite fonts/features-005.tex failing for me

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

In the test suite, the file fonts/features-005.tex is failing for me on latest 
lmtx. All three items appear the same each time i.e. no small caps and no 
old-style digits on the second and third.



Can anyone else reproduce this, please?

Thanks Hans - I keep forgetting about the test suite.

For the benefit of those coming here via the mail archive, I found what I 
needed in the cont-tst.zip test suite in the file fonts/extensions-001.tex


Now my problem is that the font only has ligatures for fi and fl which is 
making my life di-ffi-cult.

In addition to Wolfgang’s suggestion, you might consider using buffers. These 
are only typeset if something in the figure changes, which ConTeXt checks with 
each run. It automates the process of making separate files and including them, 
without slowing down compilation.

Put the TikZ code in buffers and typeset the buffers to make the figures:

\startbuffer[MyTikZFigure]
% TikZ code here
\stopbuffer

\startplacefigure[reference=MyFig, title={This is the figure’s caption}]
\typesetbuffer[starttikz, MyTikZFigure,stoptikz]
\stopplacefigure


Following a suggestion from Hans, I made two buffers that have the starting and 
ending stuff needed for my figures:

\startbuffer[starttikz]  % This buffer will start every TikZ picture.
\environment env_physics % My physics macros
\environment env_TikZ % My TikZ macros
\setupbodyfont [libertinus,11pt] % Other setups for figures
   \startTEXpage
   \starttikzpicture
\stopbuffer

\startbuffer[stoptikz] % This buffer will stop every TikZ picture.
   \stoptikzpicture
   \stopTEXpage
\stopbuffer

What's the ConTeXt equivalent of this workflow? How can I keep the PDF 
dimensions limited to the figure?


\usemodule[tikz]

[NTG-context] ConTeXt's equivalent of standalone class

[noib3 via ntg-context]

Coming from LaTeX, when I had some TikZ pictures I wanted to add in my
document I would usually keep them on a separate file, I would compile them
with the standalone class so that the resulting PDF's size would be limited
to exactly the dimensions of the figure. I would then import the compiled
PDF in my main document. All this to not slow down compilation times.

What's the ConTeXt equivalent of this workflow? How can I keep the PDF
dimensions limited to the figure?

senfcall.de is a free service by a privacy-aware German charity, based on 
BigBlueButton (also open source).
BBB is generally better than Jitsi Meet.
My (free) account allows me to use the same address for the “room” every time 
(and a few other things).

But feel free to offer something else.

why not using (free open source) meet.jit.si instead of membershipped

Wolfgang (off-list),

It is simply wrong to say that \italicface as defined gives only \it 
or \bi as a result. Look at the definition. If the current 
fontalternative is it \it it will give a \tf result. It is sensitive 
to the current state in a similar way that \em and \emph are, but it 
will always give an italic or roman result.




If we leave the comparisons between \em and \italicface aside and talk 
only about the results from \italicface we have a common ground.


You're right the results from \italicface aren't predictable and a fix 
is needed but the same applies also to \boldface, \slantedface and 
\typeface.


Attached is the output from a modified version of the styling command 
(the \sc column is the fallback style). \swapface is unchanged and I'm 
not sure about its output because it uses the \em code for italic and 
slanted which means \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=blue] affects 
also the \swapface results.
