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? -- JP ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 23+ messages in thread

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.

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...

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.

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 Manuals are useless because they are outdated, trees are changed and need texhash, plus, on top, one needs to learn the syntax for Context to use fonts.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...

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!

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? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

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 On Apr 3, 2005 10:57 AM, Adam Lindsay <atl@comp.lancs.ac.uk> wrote: > Rob Ermers said this at Sun, 3 Apr 2005 16:03:24 +0200: > > >I completely agree.
