[NTG-context] Changes in simplefonts

Hi all, So the following used to work perfectly, but no longer does: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Liberation-Serif] \starttext I feel so Liberated that {\ConTeXt} can see all my system fonts! \stoptext I don't seem to remember changing any configuration in order to get ConTeXt to see

[NTG-context] A thesis not just using, but on, ConTeXt.

se you folks have to such a project. I don't feel as if anything is set in stone, per se. The final proposal presentation is yet to happen, so I have time to make changes. Sincerely, John Haltiwanger ___ If y

Re: [NTG-context] Using ConTeXt for a thesis?

ConTeXt is great because there is only one system to learn. As was already mentioned, it is much more consistent than LaTeX. One tip is to make sure you are using the electronic version, rather than the print version, of the ConTeXt manual. Any time you want to accomplish something, just click ind

That site was up for only a couple days before Lightspeed Content Filter labelled it a security proxy at the library where I used to work. Drove me crazy, as it is definitely the best interface for Google ;) On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 9:31 PM, luigi scarso wrote: > http://www.goosh.org > > > -- > lu

Re: [NTG-context] Seeking a Deeper ConTeXt: Questions for Initializing

Thank you Aditya. All that makes sense to me. It is quite clear from everyone's responses that the person on c.t.t who claimed ConTeXt is "only" for one-offs was not correct. On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 2:26 PM, Aditya Mahajan wrote: > On Mon, 25 May 2009, John Haltiwanger

Re: [NTG-context] Seeking a Deeper ConTeXt: Questions for Initializing

Thank you Arthur, Mohamed, and Hans for pointing me towards the available modules. As far as working towards semantical documents in TeX, I'll just have to settle for writing external RDF descriptors for the documents. I'll take a look at using XML as the source and feeding it into ConTeXt, but si

[NTG-context] Seeking a Deeper ConTeXt: Questions for Initializing

Hello, My name is John and I'm a nearly brand new TeX convert. All it took was one letter I wanted to look nice and now I know I will never craft an important document in another format again. Now, an obvious entry point is LaTeX, and indeed my first TeX document used this macro package. However,
