context wiki and luatex.org offline

context wiki and luatex.org offline

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi guys,

The harddisk of the server that (amongst other things) runs the ConTeXt wiki and 
various luatex.org websites has apparently crashed. We are trying to get the server
running again, but it could take some time before everything is back online.

Best wishes,
Taco

using context wiki offline?

[Jörg Weger]

The recent crash of the context wiki reminded me that for wikipedia it 
is possible to download the whole wiki and use it offline.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

It would be great if you could do that with contextgarden as well.

(Maybe you can do that already but I don’t know how :) )

Greetings Jörg

superior numbers for footnote numbers?

[Jörg Weger]

Better equipped opentype fonts offer so called superior numbers as an 
opentype feature. Those are special smaller figures for “superscript” 
(opentype feature “sups”) that are not simply scaled down versions of 
the normal figures (be they oldstyle or lining) you are normally using.

Scaling down is as far as I understood the default way context is using 
to generate the numbers for footnotes. Is there a way to define the use 
of unscaled superiors according to the fontsizes of body text and 
footnote text instead?

Greetings Jörg

PS: I am using for serif the “Linux Libertine O” family (installed as 
OTF and invoked by the included mkiv simplefont mechanism) which has the 
“sups” feature.

Thank you very much! I had not thought it was that easy!

i'll add:

\definefontfeature[f:superiors][sups=yes]

\unexpanded\def\setsuperiors{\doaddfeature{f:superiors}}

(we already have \setsmallcaps, \settabular and \setoldstyle)

Re: superior numbers for footnote numbers?

[Jörg Weger]

Hello Hans,


Those are nice self-explanatory commands which also mean I don’t have to 
define them myself.

 From my short opentype feature experience I would add the following 
combinations (defined names could be shortened, long names here only for 
better explanation):


Tabular oldstyle numbers (oldstyle numbers aligning correctly in tables 
through fixed spacing):

\definefontfeature[f:tabular_oldstyle][onum=yes,tnum=yes]

\unexpanded\def\settaboldstyle{\doaddfeature{f:tabular_oldstyle}}

\settaboldstyle


Proportional oldstyle numbers (oldstyle numbers for in-text use 
spaced/kerned according to their forms):

\definefontfeature[f:proportional_oldstyle][onum=yes,pnum=yes]

\unexpanded\def\setpropoldstyle{\doaddfeature{f:proportional_oldstyle}}

\setpropoldstyle


Tabular lining numbers (lining numbers aligning correctly in tables 
through fixed spacing):

\definefontfeature[f:tabular_lining][lnum=yes,tnum=yes]

\unexpanded\def\settablining{\doaddfeature{f:tabular_lining}}

\settablining


Proportional lining numbers (lining numbers spaced/kerned according to 
their forms):

\definefontfeature[f:proportional_lining][lnum=yes,pnum=yes]

\unexpanded\def\setproplining{\doaddfeature{f:proportional_lining}}

\setproplining


plus

Scientific inferiors (numbers for subscript, e.g. in chemical formulas):

\definefontfeature[f:inferiors][sinf=yes]

\unexpanded\def\setinferiors{\doaddfeature{f:inferiors}}

\setinferiors


Of course all this works only if the font offers the according opentype 
features.


Greetings Jörg
