A beautiful Devanagari font also is Santipur, cf:

Re: [NTG-context] Sanskrit Devanagari characters

2011-06-23 Thread Daniel Stender
I was planning to spend some time on at least typesetting Devanagari with 
ConTeXt in the
foreseenable future. I'll come back with this in a couple of weeks.

Greetings,

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt-Artikel im deutschen "Linux User" 05/2011

2011-04-20 Thread Daniel Stender
Thanks for appreciation. Since I was playing around with ConTeXt I am not doing 
else.

... but *please* regard that this PDF isn't for the public and should only be 
cited. After a period
old articles are becoming available freely here: 
http://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe

Also the latest articles are for sold next to the printed edition here:
http://www.linux-community.de/Internal/Artikel/Print-Artikel/LinuxUser/2011/05
So *please* link pointers to that for I know the publishers do not like when 
the PDFs are available
otherwise.

Greetings,
Daniel Stender

Hi guys,

simple question: how can the layout of the "chapter" line be modified? 
(changing the fontsize to
what's \tfb).

Thanks in advance & greetings,
DS

[NTG-context] CritTeXt

2010-02-17 Thread Daniel Stender
Hi people,

I've tried to get into contact with Idris Hamid but got no reply so far.

Can anybody tell what's the status of the CritTeXt packet? Is there already 
anything to play around
with?

Are there any alternatives for critical editing, would it be possible to get 
old Edmac running wit
ConTeXt for example?

Greetings,
D.Stender
