comments, font catalogue

comments, font catalogue

[R. Bastian]

Hello,

1.
is there the same in Context than the Latexian

\begin{comment}
...
\end{comment}
---------------------------
2.
In the Minimal tree there are many .afm, .tfm and other font files.
Is there a sort of font catalogue (visualization of the fonts) ?

The source of such a catalogue would be a good example for beginners - like me.

There is a luatex-based web server that shows all the OpenType fonts,
but I'm not sure how to call it and whether it still works. (There are
many more fonts in the TeX Live tree or on CTAN.)

What is that supposed to to?

If you want to comment some larger parts out, you might use

\startmode[comment] % name is random
...
\stopmode

The server is started with

   mtxrun --script server --auto

and serves

   http://localhost:31415/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua

however, the fonttest fails because I forgot to adapt the cache path to 
the new situation .. i'll upload a fix. The help systems seems to work.

MTXrun | requested action: /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua?selection=hoeflertextregular
MTXrun | performing action: /mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua?selection=hoeflertextregular
MTXrun | requested file '/mtx-server-ctx-fonttest.lua?selection=hoeflertextregular'
MTXrun | handling error 404: Not Found
