Short greek quote in otherwise english text

Short greek quote in otherwise english text

[Matthias Weber]

Hello,

I'd like to include a short quote in classical greek with all  
diacritics in a ConTeXt  document
which is otherwise plain english. What is a good way of doing this?  
Do I need to change the encoding?

Thanks,
Matthias

Matthias—

I would recommend using Thomas Schmitz’ Greek module (http:// 
modules.contextgarden.net/t-greek). It works very well for me.

Re: Short greek quote in otherwise english text

Thanks, Alan,


this package looks nice, but I can't figure out where to put things,  
despite instructions...

I unzip texms.zip and get two directories, which I am supposed to put  
into the texmf tree. I tried it with
the directory (on my Mac)

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/

and put all files form the downloaded texmf.zip into the  
corresponding subdirectories
(is there an easy way -- on a Mac, I had to authenticate each copy).
Then I ran sudo texhash and sudo updmap --enable Map tasgreek.map.

The first time I got

!!! ERROR! The map file `tasgreek.map' has not been found at all.

and subsequent times  "Map files not recreated.", which sounds  
suspicious.

Then, running a simple test file shows that the greek module is being  
loaded, I get n error message, but also
no greek text in the output :(

Any hints? I probably have messed up my texmf tree now...

Thanks in advance,

Matthias

Re: Short greek quote in otherwise english text

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

That's due to a change in the TeX Directory Structure. Try running

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map tasgreek.map

and see if that solves your problem.

Good luck

Thomas

Oops, that means your TeX installation is really old. Are you using  
Gerben's distribution? I'd recommend upgrading unless there's an  
important reason why you wouldn't want to do so. I'm afraid it'll be  
difficult to help you with your problem on your current installation,  
I don't have access to a machine with such a system.

Best

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I sticked with a 2005 release from last fall (very old???) to avoid  
running into  incompatibility issues with
current projects.
After updating (iinstaller), three things happen:


i) \eqalign breaks (as noted before on this list, I have to see  
whether there is a fix... :(
ii) updmap-sys works without an error message :)
iii) TeXing my sample results in an apparent font problem. Log file  
below. :(

I used
  \setupgreek[font=Gentiumlun,scale=1.2]

Anything I can do about it?

Thanks,

Matthias

Re: Short greek quote in otherwise english text

[Matthias Weber]

As afollow-up, I tried moving the font files some place else.

I first hat the font directory in

~/Library/texmf/

and then put them into

~/Library/texmf//texmf/

where they are apparently found, this time the log file says the font  
metrics can't be found.
See below.  Do I have to generate them?

Warnings like this used to mean that you had a mismatch where you
have a virtual font (<name>.vf) file, but that the matching metric
file (<name>.tfm) is not supposed to be a virtual font. This may be
the thing that is confusing pdftex? Too many (.vf) files instead of
missing files?

Have a look at the documentation: the font is not included, you need  
to download it first...  I f you want a font that works right away, try

\setupgreek[font=Ibycus,scale=1.2]

Good luck

Great, this works now!

That was definitely the easiest fix of the day.

Thanks a lot.

Just a quick question about the new release(s): I've seen that  
formats are now installed in $HOMETEXMF instead of $TEXMFLOCAL. Is  
there a reason for this change, and is it possible to have them  
installed in the old place? I preferred that way because it keeps  
everything in one location.

Depends on your tetex/texlive setup, I think. afaik, texexec calls
kpsewhich to decide on the path to use.

Which commands have you used for updating ?
I follow the page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation
, it works perfectly for me.

No, that's not the point, updating works. I just see that in my  
$HOMETEXMF, I now have a directory web2c/pdfetex where format files  
are stored. This directory has been created on Jan 25, at one of the  
latest updates. I haven't changed my texmf.cnf, so the behavior of  
texexec --make has changed during one of the last releases, I guess  
2006.01.16. And I'm just wondering if I can have the old behavior  
back as I prefer it.

I downloaded the latest release from yesterday, and it doesn't create  
a web2c directory in my $HOMETEXMF anymore, so either a problem has  
been fixed, or I did something wrong to get this result. Sorry for  
the noise.

There are no pertinent changes to texexec (going back to 20051218)
so if you are right about the date, it has to be something in your
local environment that has changed.

Did you move the latest luatools.lua and mtxrun.lua from  
/scripts/context/lua to your /bin?

Bingo, Idris, that was it! Thanks for the quick solution. I was sure I  
was using symlinks so wasn't paying attention, but I somehow had  
copied the files. Now it works, sorry for the noise.

Yes, thanks for your help, now it works wonderfully. On a related  
note: this big new release had me waiting in anticipation, so would it  
be possible to just tell us in a sentence or five or six what the big  
changes are? I guess with the right switches it can cook my dinner,  
but would be curious to learn a bit more...

Thanks

Well, I have two detail pages in the wiki ... but it is pretty hard
to come up with a consise list of improvements. Mostly, mkiv is just
faster and better than it was already. :-)

Hi Thomas,

the new release did work for me with LuaTeX but the mkii part give
a error message in conbination with XeTeX., only a short error message
but it should be also fixed.

Line 53 in regi-ini.mkii use in a message for XeTeX "\m!regime" as
messageconstant and not "\m!regimes".

i will probably post an updated zip later today, i noticed that in base 
mode kerns got lost (has to do with using an optimized otf table in the 
cache; i never adapted the base code to that)

new release

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

Today i'll upload a new release. Highlights:

- some fixes/extensions discussed the last few weeks
- xetex support adapted to using xdvipdfmx
- ctxtools --update which will update your local context
- an update feature in scite (can be used a example for other editors)
- an integrated mpto (more robust that the binary approach)

(btw, use textext instead of btex .. etex when possible)

Taco will undoubtely give mnore details later. 

Keep in mind that you need to change the stubs: 

- preferable use texmfstart to launch scripts
- texmfstart itself can be stubbed if needed 
- there is a ../scripts/context/stubs path in the zip

Hans et al,

I don't understand the word "stub."

What are ctxtools?

What is meant by an update feature in Scite? Where are context  
features in scite discussed? For example, Hans let me knoow about Ctrl 
+F12 for compiling my figure library, but that's not on any of the  
menus of scite. What else is cool but hidden?

Hi David,

I have no time right now to write the release notes, I will do
that in the morning (mine, that is). I'll keep your questions in
mind.

Cheers, Taco

in the new big windows zip there is a scite that has a menu entry (under

Some naive thoughts....

Do people still use

draw "string" infont fontname

Is it possible to provide a metapost package so that "...." defaults to 
textext?

For most graphics, I want TeX to do the typesetting. Using btex 
... etex or textext(...) for everything makes the source look ugly.


Something less drastic. Is it possible to define macros, say LABEL such 
that

LABEL("a string", origin)

is same as

label(textext(a string), origin)

I do not understand metapost well enough to  know if a macro can 
handle all the cases like

LABEL("a string" scaled 1.5, origin)

and so on.

Hi Hans,

just downloaded the new release and regenerated the formats. Will play
with it later. For the time being just one question: the stubs in
scripts/context/stubs/unix and .../mswin seem to be identical; is that
what you meant? I doubt that many unixoid systems will be at ease with 
.bat executables and c: paths...

Best

a typo indeed, you can correct it with: 

texmfstart --verbose --unix --stubpath=<yourbinpath>  --make all

  That is a cool feature.  But it does not set executable bits on the 
stubs yet, could you fix that?

Got big problems with the fonts that are no more found when using the ruby  
stuff. Since the unix stubs are crappy, I do this:

Seems that the unix texmfstart stub is missing.

Doesn't help, and the required map files are here for a while (eg:  
kpsewhich ec-base.map gives
/usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-base.map).

I tried to use the perl version, and now it tries to find stuff in dvipdfm  
fonts, which plants:

Warning: pdfetex (file  
/usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/original-base.map):  
invalid entry for `fmvr8x': font file missing

It works if i remove (or rename) the dvipdfm directory.

What can i do to have ruby thing working, and pdftex fonts used instead of  
dvipdfm ones?

BG

indeed; the fastest method is:

cp texmfstart.rb  .../bin/texmfstart

or make a  stub that directly points to your copy of texmfstart

your texmf.cnf file should contain:

TEXFONTMAPS   = 
.;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//;$TEXMF/{$progname,pdftex,dvips}/{config,}//

as long as we have no uniform map file syntax, progs needs to be able to 
find their own map files

Ok, thanks, modifying texmf.cnf as you say fixes the path precedence. Now,  
is there a ruby debug mode to see why the paths are lost with texexec.rb?  
Or tests I could do to find out what happens?

For the ruby issue:

if I remove the TEXFONTMAPS environment setting from tex.rb, it works on  
my machine. I don't know if it can be a fix working on any platform:

     def fixbackendvars(backend)
         if backend then
             report("fixing backend map path for #{backend}") if  
getvariable('verbose')
             ENV['backend']     = backend ;
             ENV['progname']    = backend unless validtexengine(backend)
             #ENV['TEXFONTMAPS'] =  
".;\$TEXMF/fonts/map/{#{backend},pdftex,dvips,}//"
         else
             report("unable to fix backend map path") if  
getvariable('verbose')
         end
     end

Unix likes column separator (and often cannot stand windows one ;-). If i  
change ';' into ':' it works. BTW, why is this set? Isn't it up to  
texmf.cnf to configure this (like for texexec.pl)?

i just did:

# rm -r /usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context
# rm -r /usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/context
# texhash

aren't these files awfully old anyway?  are they needed?
as cont-lm is not needed anymore i thought these are obsolete files...

the lm map files are needed (unless you have files on your syetem that do the same); context loads map files on demand and does not use updmap things

i meant, the cont-lm zip file is not needed anymore (if i get it right)
because it is now distributed with context, not that the files are not
needed.  do the files distributed with context make the dvip{s,dfm}
files obsolete (say from teTeX-3.0)?

Hans,

another (big) problem with the new release. Unfortunately, I can't  
really say what breaks, but when I compile a file under the new  
release, I get hundreds of overfull boxes. I get hyphenation, but TeX  
doesn't seem to find the same break points as before. The same file  
compiles wonderfully with version 2006.04.27. Can I send a logfile or  
something?

Hope this message makes it to the list...

Re: new release

[Johannes Graumann]

Hans,

This ruby stuff has me confused to no end.
I'm compiling this document (which compiled just fine with the last
release - no changes since) with the following command:

ruby ~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb PhD-Thesis.tex

For trying to figure out the version I do:

ruby ~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb --check

And get 

TeXExec | current distribution: web2c
TeXExec | context source date: unknown
TeXExec | format path:
TeXExec | start of analysis
/home/balin/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/base/kpsefast.rb:659: command not
found: texmfstart texexec --help
/home/balin/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/base/kpsefast.rb:659: command not
found: texmfstart texutil --help
/home/balin/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/base/kpsefast.rb:659: command not
found: texmfstart ctxtools --help
TeXExec | end of analysis
TeXExec |
TeXExec |
TeXExec |
TeXExec |

Which is mostly related to the UNIX stubs not working no?

How do I now actually figure out what I'm running and whether it all got
rebuild correctly?

Thanks, Joh

Re: new release

[Johannes Graumann]

Hans,

I linked texmfstart.rb to texmfstart in my local bin directory (which is in
the path) and issued 'chmod -R +x ~/texmf/scripts'. If I call 'ruby
~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb --check' now, I get this error free
(but not informative) output:

TeXExec | current distribution: web2c
TeXExec | context source date: unknown
TeXExec | format path:
TeXExec | start of analysis
TeXExec | end of analysis
TeXExec |
TeXExec |
TeXExec |
TeXExec |

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

This is the very top of cont-err.tex, the 'module header'.
If that does not look broken, then probably the file that
loads it does so while some really strange catcode settings
are in effect. The most likely cause is that you have an
invalid zip file or an error has occured during extraction.

If you cannot figure it out, try posting a few extra
lines from the log, just before 'cont-err loaded'.

Hans,

do I need to re-report that format generation with texmfstart  
newtexexec --make is still broken on OS X (I'll check on my linux box  
later)? I still get these monstrous paths like

TeXExec | tex engine path: .:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/ 
teTeX/share//share/texmf-local/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//

Yes, that's strange. I just checked, and everything is golden on a linux
system (gentoo, but I gues the same is true for other linux distros). So
I really don't see why OS X should behave differently. Is there any
debugging info that I could provide? How 'bout the other OS X users (I
seem to recall there were quite a few of them): do you get the same
error?

The normal unix path separator '/'.  On OS9 it was ':'.

Nope, still get the same bizarre result. Path separator is a ":"

echo $PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/tas/bin:/usr/ 
local/bin:/usr/lib/portage/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple- 
darwin-current:/Developer/Tools:/usr/X11R6/bin

So maybe Gerben's guess is right, and it's some hard-coded path thing  
in kpsefast?

texmfstart texexec --make --all

TeXExec | using search method 'kpsefast'
TeXExec | updating file database

As you can see: while mltexlsr find the corret paths for updating,  
the format path given by TeXExec uses default values.

btw, concerning the texmfstart script itself: 

- on unix it's indeed best to make a symlink from texmfstart -> texmfstart.rb in the whatever-tree it resides in 

- on windows, one can associate the .rb suffix with ruby and add the context ruby path to the bin path, or use the 'exe' variant which can be located anywhere 

(texmfstart uses a few libe but when they are not found, it will enter stupid-mode and lack some features that probably go unnoticed)

Strictly speaking it's not OSX, but i've a FreeBSD distro, which is close,  
and it works fine.

Are you sure you have the permission to write in any of these paths?

BTW, i find dangerous to do (kpse.formatpath method):

                 # locate writable path
                 if ! formatpath.empty? then
                     formatpath.split_path.each do |fp|
                         fp.gsub!(/\\/,'/')
                         # remove funny patterns
                         fp.sub!(/^!!/,'')
                         fp.sub!(/\/+$/,'')
                         fp.sub!(/unsetengine/,if enginepath then engine  
else '' end)
                         if ! fp.empty? && (fp != '.') then
                             # strip (possible engine) and test for  
writeability
                             fpp = fp.sub(/#{engine}\/*$/,'')
                             if FileTest.directory?(fpp) &&  
FileTest.writable?(fpp) then
                                 # use this path
                                 formatpath = fp.dup
                                 break
                             end
                         end
                     end
                 end
                 # needed !
                 begin File.makedirs(formatpath) ; rescue ; end ;

If none of the paths from formatpath is valid, we keep the whole concat  
path in this variable... that then is used to create a directory tree.  
Thomas, maybe that you have ugly directories created starting with an  
hidden directory named ".:". You should check that.

I went back and looked at the file - nothing obvious. I repeated my install
from the pragma server ... no changes.

The document in question compiled just fine before the update.

I append the log region around the 'cont-err loaded' part.

It looks to me like context found a cont-err.tex when it
should not have.

At the end of a job, ConTeXt looks for a file named cont-err.tex,
in the directory path that is set by the \setupsystem command in 
<jobname>.tmp. This file itself is generated by texexec, and the
directory value is based on "setuppath").

In your case, it looks like this directory entry is either
incorrect, or there is a bug in context, because it finds and
then loads the file while XML mode is still active.

I do not know how to proceed from here. Hans?

I have appended this to core-sys.tex (just before the final '\protect
\endinput'; latest version of 11.5.) and used 'texexec.rb --make'.
I get the same error - even for a document containing nothing but this:

\defineXMLenvironment
   [document]
   {\starttext}
   {\stoptext}
\startXMLdata
  <document></document>
\stopXMLdata

How do we proceed from here?

\starttext

\startXMLdata
  <document></document>
\stopXMLdata

\stoptext

does that work ok? in your example, you stay inside a group and then end  the doc

\starttext 

\processXMLfilegrouped{somedoc}

\stoptext 

is ok, as is

  texexec somedoc.xml 

which wraps the xml processing in a run file

You catch my folly as usually. Thanks. While I get the solution above to
work, the alternative 'ruby
~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb --pdf --environments=PhD-Thesis ../XML/main.xml'
doesn't. Error is:

> User file 'cont-sys.tex' not found, 'cont-sys.rme' has been used instead. 

Hints?

Re: new release

[David Arnold]

Not sure what settings you need, but I think I know that you take the  
cont-sys.rme and rename it to cont-sys.tex and go from there.

has nothing to do with ruby, just copy cont-sys.rme to cont-sys.tex in 
tex/context/user; i ship the rme as example and fallback so that it does 
not overwrite you rlocal copy

new release

[Adam Lindsay]

Thanks from me, too, to Taco for the change summary...

I notice this:

>new typescript: optima (uses optima-nova & palatino & lmtt)

Which is cool, but there's a free URW Optima clone available ("URW-
Classico"), that potentially makes Optima available to everyone. It's
slightly "buggy" as a font, but perfectly workable if you're not as
demanding as Walter A. Schmidt. (No offense to him--he has to be
demanding, given his role!)

I can do a release of these fonts, once we figure out a few things:
1) what to call this family (optima? optima-nova? classico?), 
2) how to package this up for people, and
3) where to put it.


If you want an early play, you can download the fonts from <http://
www.artifex.com/downloads/>, with the urwfonts_t1-1.40 package. The
following lines are from a batchfile for texfont.


# urw optima

--en=? --ve=urw --co=optima  --ro=TEXMFLOCAL --pat=o004*
--en=? --ve=urw --co=optima  --ro=TEXMFLOCAL --pat=o00400[34]t --ca=*

just use 'classico'

optima and optima-nova are real different (hermann zapf explained some of the 
changes in details during the last eurotex); optima is a great font, optima-nova 
is even better!

New release

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi all,

Hans has issued a new release of ConTeXt yesterday (2005.01.13).
Highlights:

* The distribution now contains Taco's bib module and related files

* The TeXShow program now uses the XML versions of the interface
   definition files, the .tws variants have been removed

* Math font definitions (esp. lucida/euler) are completed and
   improved, resulting in more robust mixed math usage

More details on the Wiki,

	http://contextgarden.net/Release_Notes

Greetings, Taco

new release

[Adam Lindsay]

Hi Hans.

I just noticed this morning in your enco-uc (also appears in the new
release) that the following is outside the start/stopencoding, and
therefore causes some Bad Things (looking for UnicodeRegular20) if people
use language settings:

\stopencoding

\definecharacter endash          {\uchar{32}{19}}
\definecharacter emdash          {\uchar{32}{20}}
\definecharacter quoteleft       {\uchar{32}{24}}
\definecharacter quoteright      {\uchar{32}{25}}
\definecharacter quotesinglebase {\uchar{32}{26}}

\definecharacter quotedblleft    {\uchar{32}{28}}
\definecharacter quotedblright   {\uchar{32}{29}}
\definecharacter quotedblbase    {\uchar{32}{30}}

\definecharacter leftguillemot   {\uchar0{171}}
\definecharacter rightguillemot  {\uchar0{187}}
\definecharacter guilsingleleft  {\uchar{32}{57}}
\definecharacter guilsingleright {\uchar{32}{58}}


%D a temporary guess:

\startencoding[default]

\definecommand Greekleftquot  {\leftguillemot}
\definecommand Greekrightquot {\rightguillemot}

\stopencoding
