btex-etex

btex-etex

[Jiri Polcar]

    Hallo,

my ConTeXt ignore btex-etex command. It works as the btex-etex command
is empty. No text on output. Simple example:

    \starttext

    \startuseMPgraphic{test}
      picture p; p := btex TEST etex scaled 5cm;
      draw p; 
    \stopuseMPgraphic

    \useMPgraphic{test}

    \stoptext

On output is only page number. In the 'mpgraph.mp' is (if a skip some
definitions):

    ResetTextAreas ;
    SaveTextAreas ;
    ResetTextAreas ;
    if unknown context_core : input mp-core.mp ;
    fi ;
    local_multi_par_area:=false;
    ;;
    verbatimtex \global \loadfontfileoncetrue  etex;
    let mprunend = end ;
    beginfig(1);
    picture p;
    p := btex TEST etex
    scaled 5cm;
    draw p;
    endfig;
    let end = mprunend ;
    end.

If a extract a part with 

    beginfig(1);
    picture p;
    p :=  btex TEST etex;
    draw p;
    endfig;
    end.

and proccess it with mpost it works good. My ConTeXt comes from Fedora
Core 3 distribution. Any suggestion how to solve it?

The file works fine here. Except that only some part of the T is
visible (large scale factor).

Do you have write18 enabled? (<http://contextgarden.net/Texmf.cnf>)

I set 

    shell_escape = t

in

    /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf

Now I see in output of pdfeTeX:

    This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5)
     \write18 enabled.

Bud I do not see any TEXT in output.

Same here (at least while generating pdf): I only see the left
side of the bottom serif of the T, because that is the only thing
that will fit on the page.

It is quite possible that your resulting characters exceed
some size limit in DVI mode. Try \setupoutput[pdftex]

In this case your "scaled 5cm" expands into "scaled 141.7":
the word test, scaled to 141.7 times it original size.

chancery font

[Ciro Soto]

When I try the commands \usetypescript, \setupbodyfont, etc,etc
I can't find the right combination of switches to make use of the Zapf
Chancery or Garamond fonts.
All other fonts work find (bookman, modern, palatino, etc).

I am using Linux/fedoraCore3, texlive2004, and:
TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
               texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

Re: chancery font

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Hi Ciro,

I don't know about Garamond (does it actually come with TeX/ConTeXt?) but 
there is an issue with Zapf in the latest ConTeXt; the tfm files are 
corrupted. Try the following (it worked for me, thank you Hans):

remake the metrics

texmfstart texfont.pl type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --ven=urw -col=zapfchan

refresh fndb and then try

==========================
\definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery]
\switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg]

\starttext

Zapf Chancery

\input tufte.tex

\stoptext
==========================

Maybe Garamond has a similar problem (assuming the font is actually 
present on your system) and you can try the above with Garamond as well...

If Garamond is present, can you point me to its location, typescripts, 
etc? I'd like to try it...

Best
Idris

Re: chancery font

[Willi Egger]

Hi Ciro,

AFAIK chancery has no typeface associated. So you need to do that yourself

\usetypescript[chancery][texnansi]
\definetypeface 	 
[myfont][cg][calligraphy][chancery][default][encoding=texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[myfont,cg,12pt]

Idris solution didn't work. I got: 
TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004

which seems to be an installation problem... 
BUT
Willi's solutions worked when I use encoding=ec (not texnansi)...

Don't know if this is related to your own installation but I get this kind 
of message if I do not

setuptex c:\<your context tex_root>

before running the utilities.

Did you get Garamond working? Where is it?

At least things are working now:-)

Re: chancery font

[Ciro Soto]

Idris,
thank you for your interest. I don't have setuptex in my linux
system... maybe this is
a windows utility. 

Concerning Garamond, I see bunch of files in my system:
ls ./texmf-local/fonts/afm/urw/garamond/
 ugmri8a.afm
 ugmr8a.afm
 ugmmi8a.afm
 ugmm8a.afm

and there are references to garamond fonts in the type-* files, but I don't know
how to activate it. I think I have a configuration problem in my texlive2004
plus the difficulty of handling fonts (as always)... I'll keep trying
and let you
know if find how to activate them...

Also, I followed instructions to install verdana (magazine009) but
couldn't make it work either...
so, the problem is likely to be in my installation...

Ciro

The key question is whether you have the fonts/type1/urw/garamond
directory with .pfb files in it, as these are the URW garamond fonts, you
probably do have them. However, you probably need to load the map file
[ugm.map], and use the right typescript. As the only one in ConTeXt is
for the FontSite500 garamond, that needs to be added. There's a quickie
at the end of the message.

And Idris, it's here:
<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/garamond/>

\starttypescript[serif][garamond][ec]
 \definefontsynonym[Garamond]          [ugmr8t] [encoding=ec]
 \definefontsynonym[GaramondItalic]    [ugmri8t][encoding=ec]
 \definefontsynonym[GaramondBold]      [ugmm8t] [encoding=ec]
 \definefontsynonym[GaramondBoldItalic][ugmmi8t][encoding=ec]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[serif][garamond][name]
 \setups[font:fallback:serif]
 \definefontsynonym[Serif]          [Garamond]
 \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic]    [GaramondItalic]
 \definefontsynonym[SerifBold]      [GaramondBold]
 \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][GaramondBoldItalic]
\stoptypescript

Activate with:
\definetypeface[myface][rm][serif][garamond][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[myface]

(untested, but hopefully you get the idea...)

unfortunately, I have a mental mess with the font business in tex.
How can one keep track with so many directories, encodings, file types,
maps, etc... I am tired of trying to undestand. Manuals are useless
because they are outdated, trees are changed and need texhash, plus,
on top, one needs to learn the syntax for Context to use fonts.
I've been spending days trying to install a verdana font, and no
matter what I do,
it doesnt' work, and I think the same is happening with the garamond. 
I have no lesss than 3000 font files in my computer, but so far, only a handful
are available in context. At this point,
I really wish I had a graphical tool to install and use a font,
without going through
all the --always changing-- steps...
I guess, some day, someone will clear this up for once...

My problem is that I have no output also without 'caled 5cm':

    \setupoutput[pdftex]

    \starttext

    \startuseMPgraphic{test}
      picture p; p := btex TEST etex;

Re: chancery font

[Rob Ermers]

Hi Ciro,

I completely agree. Context works fine but, like you, I have not 
succeeded in installing any new font thusfar.
A few months ago I tried again with a very simple font, which I got 
working under Latex, but not under Context, despite all my attempts and 
suggestions from other subscribers: alas!

Two years ago I recoded a cyrillic font under Latex, that contains 
special characters not available in other fonts, therefore I guess I 
know how the TeX font mechanism works. I achieved that by carefully 
reading all kinds of manuals available on the net.

For the time being I manage with Context with the standard fonts & 
Palatino, waiting for a breakthrough of some kind: the golden tip!

Kind regards,

Robert

Okay, I get the message: there are quite a few frustrated would-be font
users out there. I see it as being something that someone can understand
(and explain) fairly well in the abstract, but the details throw up
distribution-specific problems. 

So, because it's the only area I can hope to fix, are there any Mac users
out there (gwTeX) that are (still) frustrated with fonts in the way that
Rob and Ciro are?

For those Mac users, is it a matter of using pre-installed fonts
(Palatino, Helvetica, etc.), or installing your own fonts that is so
frustrating?

Re: chancery font

[Ciro Soto]

My problem goes beyond fonts. What I think I need is a simple explanation
of the TeX-like package system.  For instance:

I see tetex,pdftex,contex, latex,web2c,...and so on, but I don't understand
their interrelation/dependency. 

Why the livetex tree is like it is?  What is needed for a context user?

What are the steps to upgrade context with a cont-tmf.zip and a texlive2004?
Would it be possible to create an shell script that automize all this?
 
Where are fonts registered/stored/mapped/encoded?

Most books on TeX,latex, etc, only explain how to use them, but not
the 'system administration' part, which must of us have to learn as well.

BTW, I used Idris instructions (without step4 because my texfont works)
and I have installed three different fonts so far. Actually, I
converted TTF fonts
to pfb/afm, then used the Idris steps, and I am happy. Now I hace to learn how
to build typescript files, and learn where to put them, and the mapping/encoding
business.

regards

Ciro

a more simple version:

\setupoutput[pdftex]

\starttext

\startMPpage
   draw btex TEST etex;
\stopMPpage

\stoptext

anyhow, what does

texexec --automp

produce

indeed since there is no predefined typeface for chancery (makes no sense since 
it's a special purpose font)

if you want texnansi you need to make the metrics with texfont; tex live only 
ships with ec versions

Hello Jiri,

with that ancient version you can try your luck with
\protectbufferstrue in cont-sys.tex (copy it from cont-sys.rme if it
doesn't exist yet).

OK. Now I using tetex-2.0.2-21.3 that comes with Fedora Core 3. I download

    http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-img.zip

    http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-ppc.zip
    http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-mpd.zip

unzip it and copy to /usr/share/texmf. Then I run 'texconfig init' with
this result:

My '/usr/bin/texexec' always runs 'TeXExec 3.1' version:
