uppercase, small caps, numerals and German capital sharp s

uppercase, small caps, numerals and German capital sharp s

[Thomas Fehige]

Hello,

I'm new to ConTeXt and this list. After a long time of using LaTeX and 
xeLaTeX I was finally lured into trying ConTexT by its ability of grid 
typesetting.

Today's problem is a bit complex. In a book project I have several 
points where stuff is capitalized or turned into caps+smallcaps or pure 
smallcaps. My guess is that that should work either with \WORD{Stuff}, 
\Cap{Stuff} and \cap{Stuff} or with \uppercase, \sc, and 
{\sc\lowercase{Stuff}}. (Not quite, it seems)

I'll use a commercial font called Calluna, but have added Linux Biolinum 
O to the example for those who don't want to download Calluna (the 
"Regular" can be "bought" for free, e.g. at 
https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/exljbris/calluna).

Both Calluna and Biolinum contain the glyph "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP 
S" at "1E9E. Calluna also has a small caps version at "F727", while 
Biolinum has it at "E092. I'd like to use these glyphs in the 
capitalizations mentioned, but that only works erratically (cf. example).

Secondly, Calluna comes with oldstyle numerals switched on, which is 
nice for normal text, but should change to proportional lining numbers 
in uppercase and to small-cap proportional lining numbers in an 
all-small-cap text. I'm not sure what I'd want in a caps+smallcaps 
context, but certainly not oldstyle numerals with their descenders.

Any hints and ideas? Thanks for reading! -- Thomas

PS: I asked the same question on stackexchange, there's also an image of 
the result of my example:

Use separate threads for each problem. The uppercase sharp s replacement 
with \WORD can be changed in the next beta.

%% begin example
\usemodule[lingual-de]

\setupbodyfont[libertine]

\starttext

Gruß Straße Buße

\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}

\enabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]

\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}

\disabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]

\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}

\stoptext
%% end example

are you saying, use this example as long as the new beta isn't out yet, 
or are you saying, this example will work as soon as I'll use the new 
beta? It doesn't seem to do anything right now, not even an error message.

I was looking for a general way how to substitute one glyph with another 
depending on context, thus I can't see how there are different problems 
in my post? But it's good to hear that others have thought at least of a 
partial solution.

Is my guess right that normally the author of a font ought to provide 
otf features that can be switched on and off to get one result instead 
of the other? That area seems to be utter chaos in the Calluna fonts.

It’s a new feature which will work with the next beta.

With \enabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps] you tell context to 
convert ß to ẞ (instead of SS) when you use \WORD to capitalize a string.

The output of \sc to produce small capitals depends on the font and it’s 
the font designers job to provide a small ẞ (he could use stilistic sets 
to let you choose between ß and ẞ).

Well, there's the problem, I think. Jos Buivenga, aka exljbris, 
Calluna's font designer, has done a superb job on the graphics (in my 
eyes), but his stylistic sets or otf features seem to be full of holes, 
as far as I understand them, which is perhaps not very far.

What I'm looking for is a way on the TeX, LuaTeX or ConTeXt level to 
define "environments" ('scuse my LaTeX slang) within which certain glyph 
substitutions happen. Then I could kind of redefine a thing like \sc to 
use the smallcaps ß and switch to smallcaps lining figures, if 
available, or, otherwise, scaled-down uppercase lining figures. I have 
still other fish to fry in this context, but a general hint where to 
look for something like this would be helpful.

Thanks a lot so far -- Thomas

glyph substitution

[Thomas Fehige]

Is there a way to tell ConTeXt to use one glyph where it would on its 
own use another one? Two examples:

- In the font "Purisa Medium" the hyphen comes out as a line that is two 
or three times fatter and even a little longer than the m-dash. That is 
clearly wrong, and probably the font designer's fault. Other than that, 
the font has its merits as a not-too-sweet or crazy handwriting font. 
I'll need to tell ConTeXt to either scale that monster-hyphen down or to 
use a different glyph altogether, maybe even from another font.

- As mentioned in an earlier post, in an \sc group I need the lowercase 
ß to be replaced with its smallcaps version, which is contained in the 
font but not accessible via any of its otf features.

There are more occasions where I have missed such a feature.

Thank you - Thomas

you can define your own font .. search in the test suite for 
fallbacks*.tex etc as well as extensions-*.tex

Sorry, all of ConTeXt is still very new to me, and the documentation

For both searches the test suite answers "No matches found".

> see s-lingual-de.mkiv

I'd do that, if I knew what that is and where I can find it.

Googling these brought up some interesting stuff though, which I am 
trying to read and understand.

Possibly the test suite you mean is not the same as the one that's 
described on this page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Test_suite ??? 
That's where I "searched".

But there isn't. After seraching the whole file system, these are all 
the files with remotely similar names:

----------------------
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base$ ls s-l*.mkiv
s-languages-counters.mkiv
s-languages-frequencies.mkiv
s-languages-hyphenation.mkiv
s-languages-sorting.mkiv
s-languages-system.mkiv
s-languages-words.mkiv
---------------------

I have the debian/ubuntu texlive distro that comes with ubuntu 15.10. 
ConTeXt says:

Hans, Wolfgang, are you serious? That's just lots of uncommented code 
snippets, many of them don't do nothing or crash in compilation! I 
believe  I mentioned before that I am very new to ConTeXt.

Isn't there any documentation of any of this? Like: "How to make my own 
otf feature at home" -- the script "extensions-001.tex" seems to try 
something like that, but it shows no effect on my machine. Or a bit of 
text that explains the properties and functionalities of 
\definefontfallback in whole sentences? Pointers like that would be very 
welcome.

Cheers -- Thomas

indeed they are lots of small examples (taken from the list or 
experiments) but they show what can be done

if they crash (no sure what you mean there) it's most likely due to 
fonts you don't have on your machine

a lot has been published in articles in user group journals or for 
meetings, there is a font manual that you can buy for nominal costs, 
there are some manuals on the website and an extended version of the 
more technical one that hardly anyone needs will end up in the 
distribution some day soon, there are examples on stack exchange, in the 
mail archive an don the wiki ... a lot of this depends on voluntary work 
so you can hardly complain about it .. anyone is free to provide more 
documentation and share experiences

Hans

btw, if you want to roll out your own features as in extensions-001 then 
you also need to know what the font provides (or lacks) .. open type 
fonts can be pretty complex and there is no consistency in how certain 
features are implemented

Yes, many of the blank pages or obscure (to me) error messages seem to 
be font-related. I'll have to see to that.

Yes, I know, I'm sorry I let my exasperation run free. When I started 
out with LaTeX /and/ typesetting more than two decades ago, I had one 
basic book on LaTeX. Over the years my knowledge of LaTeX, typography, 
layout design and typesetting grew side by side, if somewhat organically 
and unsystematic. Nowadays there's about a metre and a half of bookshelf 
occupied by books on LaTeX, TeX and Typography.

As I make books myself, I'm obviously not averse to buying them. I guess 
the ConTeXt books on fonts and layout will do me good.

Yes, I learned that already. Will these home-made features only work on 
open type fonts?

yes, because type 1 has no such feature processing (i suppose i can make 
them into fake opentypes ... shouldn't be to hard ... it depends a bit 
on how long we keep using type 1)

Test Suite Fonts "extensions-001"

[Thomas Fehige]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 806 bytes --]

Below is a minimal not-working example extracted from 
"extensions-001.tex" in the fonts section of the test suite. From what I 
understand of the code, the second line should read "XPrXcXdXPrX" 
instead of "abracadabra". But it doesn't, it is still "abracadabra". 
Compiling the original extensions-001 gives me seven lines of 
"abracadabra". What am I doing wrong? I'm running ConTeXt version 
2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2016.4.28 from the debian/ubuntu 
texlive packets.

\startluacode

fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {

name = "stest",

type = "substitution",

data = {

a = "X",

b = "P",

}

}

\stopluacode

\definefontfeature[stest][stest=yes]

OK, that helps. Everything is fine from the command line. I seem to be 
overlooking something as to the setup of TeXworks, though. I copied the 
programme calls from the _tools.ini_ that came with the ConTeXt 
standalone version into the present _tools.ini_ that lives in my 
personal TeXworks config folder. Now TW starts _mtxrun_ allright, but 
the run crashes with

mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Try to run (the correct) "mtxrun --generate" either from the command
line (or from TW just before you start ConTeXt if the command line
doesn't help).

That wasn't it. Below is the logfile. The command issued by TeXworks 
should be

     mtxrun --autogenerate --script context my_extensions001.tex

A file "texmfcnf.lua" is found at three places:

     /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified: 
25/03/2016)
     /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified: 25/03/2016)
     /usr/local/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified: 
28.11.2012)

The last one is the one I installed this morning.

Can you check the paths in the fourth tab (= Typesetting) of
Preferences/Settings?

It is possible that you have more than one version of ConTeXt
installed and that you see different paths in the Terminal than in the
GUI.

I've searched through the mailing list, what the initial post to this 
topic was, but i couldn't find it. If you're having trouble to make 
context compile a document, try this:

- TeXworks tools.ini doesn't need to be edited manually. It's the file 
where TW saves the settings from " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ".
- First of all make sure, that you downloaded ConTeXt by using 
"first-setup.exe"

- Then, you should add the folder where context.exe (and all 
executables) are stored to your system paths: Use your browser to 
navigate to the said folder, click on the address bar and copy the full 
path. For me it looks like this: " F:\Sandbox\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin "
- Then add this path to your windows system paths: go to your windows 
control panel, double click " System "-> advanced settings -> 
environment variables (or something like this), in the lower halfth 
there is a window with a point " Path ". Double click it and paste your 
CTX folder pretty much at the top of the section or if there is only one 
line, add it at the beginning, and use semikolon ( ; ) to seperate it 
from the rest. Save your settings and you should be good to go.
- to test if you did it correctly open your command line and simply 
enter " context.exe --version ". If command line tells you, that no 
context.exe was found, then you might try to add the context \bin folder 
to your system paths again
- if command line tells you the version of context, then you can proceed:

- start TW, " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ". There check the 
upper halfth for the context folder you added to your system paths. If 
you've added it at the beginning, it should be at the top here as well. 
Alternatively use the arrows to push context\bin it to the very top

NOTE: this is important. if you have MikTeX installed for example and if 
its folder is listed above your context folder, TW will try to use exe 
files from the MikTeX folder. so make sure that context\bin is above 
anything related to tex, context or lua.

- then in the lower halfth create a new processing tool by clikcking on 
the plus:

- call it CTX mkiv or something
- in the program field either search for your context.exe, or if added 
to the system paths correctly, simply enter context.exe in the Program field
- for arguments add:        $fullname                (this parses the 
filename to context compiler)
- if you want to use the sync code <-> pdf feature, also add another 
argument:        --synctex=-1

that's it. there is the option to make this the default profile at the 
bottom of the Typesetting window.

Now you can test it: paste

\starttext
Hello World!
\stoptext

into a new file and save it somewhere. then use your freshly set up 
processing tool. after compilation the pdf viewer should pop up.


I hope that helps, Seba

Yes I have two versions of ConTeXt. I have TeXlive from the Ubuntu 
repository and now the newer version as standalone. I added the paths to 
the new version at the top of that list in TeXwoks' preferences. And it 
does find and run the new version of mtxrun.

To prevent misunderstandings: This is /not/ the solution, the problem 
remains that the newly installed standalone mtxrun doesn't find certain 
configuration files and complains about an outdated something or other, 
/when started from within TeXworks/, while everything works fine from 
the command line.

Re: Setting up TeXworks

[Thomas Fehige]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3281 bytes --]

Now I uninstalled the texlive version of ConTeXt and did a total new 
install of the standalone version. That did not help at all. There's 
something wrong happening within the mtxrun.

I added a new "compiler" to TeXworks that only executes the command 
printenv and it lists the following environment settings:

TEXROOT=/usr/local/context/tex

PATH=/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64:/usr/local/context/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64/bin 


OSFONTDIR=/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts;/home/thomas/.local/share/fonts 


They look pretty correct to me. But still mtxrun complains:

----------------------------------------------

... resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found

resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF)

resolvers | resolving |

mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated

ConTeXt and Scite

[Thomas Fehige]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 802 bytes --]

For the time being, I think I'm giving up on pairing ConTeXt standalone 
and TeXworks on my Xubuntu machine and try to try out SciTE.

In the manual it says that

    If you want to use ConTEXt, you need to copy the relevant files from
    <texroot>/tex/texmf-context/context/data/scite
    to the path were SciTE keeps its property files (*.properties)

Is that the only way? SciTE seems to keep its user-specific properties 
files in my home directory! I don't want to clutter that up with 16 
unhidden files and two directories. At least SciTE's original files are 
hidden ones.

A much more polite way would be if SciTE used a hidden directory named 
"~/.scite", or, better still, "~/.config/scite", to keep its config 
stuff in. Can I reconfigure it to use some place like that?

That I did. Not *.exe though, being on a Linux OS, Xubuntu to be precise.

Translating this into Linux, all this works fine.

Thanks for your detailed description, but I'm afraid that's not it. 
Meanwhile I uninstalled all my texlive packets and reinstalled TeXworks 
without any of the texlive components, and reinstalled ConTeXt 
standalone strictly according to this: 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ubuntu#With_ConTeXt_Standalone_.E2.80.93_should_work_with_all_Ubuntu_versions 
-- and the problem persists. mtxrun is found and started allright, but 
it complains that it can't find some files, that a database is outdated, 
and that it can't find some other files and stops without a pdf. Below 
is the complete console output as shown in TeXworks. Calling "context 
test" in a terminal window works fine, though.

Cheers -- Thomas

Re: Setting up TeXworks

[Jean-Pierre Delange]

At the end of this website page http://lesfichesabebert.fr/index.php/Context/Instalation, there are some explanations about the TeXWorks typesetting setting. There are some screen prints which may help.

I've searched through the mailing list, what the initial post to this topic was, but i couldn't find it. If you're having trouble to make context compile a document, try this: 

- TeXworks tools.ini doesn't need to be edited manually. It's the file where TW saves the settings from " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ". 
- First of all make sure, that you downloaded ConTeXt by using "first-setup.exe" 

That I did. Not *.exe though, being on a Linux OS, Xubuntu to be precise. 



- Then, you should add the folder where context.exe (and all executables) are stored to your system paths: Use your browser to navigate to the said folder, click on the address bar and copy the full path. For me it looks like this: " F:\Sandbox\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin " 
- Then add this path to your windows system paths: go to your windows control panel, double click " System "-> advanced settings -> environment variables (or something like this), in the lower halfth there is a window with a point " Path " . Double click it and paste your CTX folder pretty much at the top of the section or if there is only one line, add it at the beginning, and use semikolon ( ; ) to seperate it from the rest. Save your settings and you should be good to go. 
- to test if you did it correctly open your command line and simply enter " context.exe --version ". If command line tells you, that no context.exe was found, then you might try to add the context \bin folder to your system paths again 

Translating this into Linux, all this works fine. 



- if command line tells you the version of context, then you can proceed: 

- start TW, " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ". There check the upper halfth for the context folder you added to your system paths. If you've added it at the beginning, it should be at the top here as well. Alternatively use the arrows to push context\bin it to the very top 

NOTE: this is important. if you have MikTeX installed for example and if its folder is listed above your context folder, TW will try to use exe files from the MikTeX folder. so make sure that context\bin is above anything related to tex, context or lua. 

Thanks for your detailed description, but I'm afraid that's not it. Meanwhile I uninstalled all my texlive packets and reinstalled TeXworks without any of the texlive components, and reinstalled ConTeXt standalone strictly according to this: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ubuntu#With_ConTeXt_Standalone_.E2.80.93_should_work_with_all_Ubuntu_versions -- and the problem persists. mtxrun is found and started allright, but it complains that it can't find some files, that a database is outdated, and that it can't find some other files and stops without a pdf. Below is the complete console output as shown in TeXworks. Calling "context test" in a terminal window works fine, though. 

Cheers -- Thomas

Re: Setting up TeXworks

[Thomas Fehige]

I tried that, no success (not very different from what I did before 
either). Are there other tests that I could do? Can't anybody interpret 
the messages, error and otherwise?

Cheers -- Thomas

Re: Setting up TeXworks

[Thomas Fehige]

Whew, I've got it running, finally.

For some reason, TeXworks needs to tell mtxrun explicitly where its 
texmf-tree is located. Meaning, an additional argument is required in 
TeXworks's starter setup, which now looks like this:

name: ConTeXt MkIV
command: mtxrun
arguments:
     --tree=/usr/local/context/tex        <-- this is the one!
     --autogenerate
     --script
     context
     $fullname

In the "Paths to TeX and friends" list I have

     /usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64
     /usr/local/context/bin

as the top two entries.

I don't know what exactly is going on here, so I don't feel confident to 
add this to the wiki, but maybe someone else does and will.

Thanks for listening -- Thomas

Using --tree is quite ok for this. Maybe TeXworks sets some environment 
variable that interferes otherwise. Normally using the full path should 
also work, so

/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64/mtxrun

don't add /usr/local/context/bin to the path as it's only used when updating

Re: Setting up TeXworks

[Jean-Pierre Delange]

And don't forget to do this before coding :
1) cd /home/[...]/context/tex/. setuptex
This command answers this : "Setting "/home/JohnDoe/context/tex" as ConTeXt root."
2) Then : cd .../context/tex/texmf-win64 (or linux64) with a x64 computer
3) Then type : 
context --generate 
and type : context --make

4) Finally, if you add fonts (in /usr/share/fonts, or $HOME/.fonts), don't forget to reload the font database (in the same depositery as 3)); the command is as follow :
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
In order to see which fonts are installed on your system:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
To search a font (like didot) :
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=*didot* --all

All these commands are the same on windows/linux/OS X

Objet: Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

Whew, I've got it running, finally.

For some reason, TeXworks needs to tell mtxrun explicitly where its 
texmf-tree is located. Meaning, an additional argument is required in 
TeXworks's starter setup, which now looks like this:

name: ConTeXt MkIV
command: mtxrun
arguments:
     --tree=/usr/local/context/tex        <-- this is the one!
     --autogenerate
     --script
     context
     $fullname

In the "Paths to TeX and friends" list I have

     /usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64
     /usr/local/context/bin

as the top two entries.

I don't know what exactly is going on here, so I don't feel confident to 
add this to the wiki, but maybe someone else does and will.

Thanks for listening -- Thomas

Well, it isn't normal, apparently. I remember I tried that at some 
stage, but it didn't work. The problem was not finding mtxrun and 
starting it, but rather that mtxrun, once started, couldn't find some of 
its config files.

Re: Setting up TeXworks

[Thomas Fehige]

Thanks Jean-Pierre, and no, you're not carrying owls to Athens, in 
whatever language. ;) I'm very new to ConTeXt and not all that 
experienced in the Linux world either. My French is honed on cooking 
recipes rather than computing and coding, but I was able to follow your 
page allright.

1. I don't have my standalone ConTeXt tree anywhere under /home/... but 
in /usr/local/context/..., as suggested on the wiki. Would that make a 
difference?

2. What do "--generate" and "--make" do? I remember having run them at 
one occasion or other, but to no avail as to the TeXworks problem. 
Shouldn't they be run by the installation script anyway?

I had managed the fonts database stuff, thanks to the wiki and some 
trial and error. It was time I learned about environment variables in 
Linux and Xfce anyway.

Cheers -- Thomas

Re: Setting up TeXworks

[Jean-Pierre Delange]

Hi Thomas,

1. There is no great issue to install ConTeXt Standalone in /usr/local/context; it's only a simple advice that I gave to put context in such a directory as /home/Document (e.g. : on Linux Ubuntu) in order to make things clear for beginners; and you can install it in /opt/context if you want it. I have installed CTX in /home/MyComputer/context
, because the whole documentation and files I want to use are near. Under Windows, ConTeXt is installed in C:\users\MyComputer\Documents\context. 
As you know, ConTeXt Standalone is a bundle which is self-sufficient (it doesn't need any extra-package, except some more fonts). I don't have tried yet to work with ConTeXt and Perl/Python, because my goal is to understand ConTeXt step by step in order to write a documentation in French (and I am starting from the beginning), starting by the easiest way to code a document and ending by some project structures.

2. commands like 'context --generate' and 'context --make' , typed after this previous one: '. setuptex', allow to build all the trees that you need thereafter, including databases. After that, you have to set your environment variables (in PATH). If you don't do that, you'll see your Linux system complain with such enigmatic formulas as 'ConTeXt is not installed', or 'mtxrun is not installed. You can installed it with apt-get install mtxrun', etc.
