ConTeXt release 2007.03.19

ConTeXt release 2007.03.19

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen
can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its
mirrors.

     http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
     http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
     http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip

The current release has version 2007.03.19

As usual, there is an html page with more detailed release notes
available on the Wiki, see:

     http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes


Highlights:
* Aditya's 'mathsets' modules in included in cont-ext.zip
* The use of \setuphead[][numberwidth=...]
* Named font styles can now also be 'sans' or 'sansbold'
* The old marvosym metric file is included, fixing the 'MarvoSym'
   symbols and '\texteuro' bugs
* Quoting of font files is changed so that hopefully XeTeX
   bare fontfiles are OK now.
* For some other small changes, see the wiki page


Happy TeXing,

Taco Hoekwater

Hello,

I try to update ConTeXt using "ctxtools --updatecontext" but CtxTools  
is "unable to fetch cont-tmf.zip" (even though I was able to download  
that file from the Pargma website.) Is my Ctxtools broken? or is  
there an alternative way to update ConTeXt (I use the MacTex  
distribution)?

Thanks,

Jelle

Hi Jelle,

do you have to use a Proxy?

In my ctxtools.rb i changed the line:
http = Net::HTTP.new(site)
to:
proxy_addr = 'my.proxy.de'
proxy_port = 80
http = Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_addr, proxy_port).new(site)

After that an update via ctxtools was possible.
The bad thing is, that i have to change it everytime before an update :-)

Since ruby treats tha call to Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_addr,
proxy_port).new(site)
without giving proxy_addr and proxy_port the same way as Net::HTTP.new
(site),
perhaps Hans can change ctxtools.rb in this way.

I would like to have a command line like:
ctxtools --updatecontext --proxy:my.proxy.de --proxyport:80

Greetings

Lutz

Hello Lutz,

No, as far as I know I don't use a Proxy. But I will try again when I  
am at home (other network, other provider...)

Hello,

I have another question about installing updates. I have downloaded  
the zip-file from the Pragma-website. Is there a way I can tell  
ctxtools that the file is already on my computer? or do I have to use  
another program to install the update? (I just hope that I don't have  
to figure out where to put these files by hand ;-))

Greetings

Jelle

I must admit that I always do this manually, I never use ctxtools. If  
you've already dlded the file, just unzip it. From the command line:

kpsewhich -expand-path='$TEXMFLOCAL'

will tell you the location of your local tree. cd to this tree, then  
just unzip the cont-tmf.zip (probably using sudo, overwriting all  
files that may already be there) and regenerate the formats, and you  
should be in business.

Good luck

Thomas

Of course I can do it manually, but since there is a tool for it, why  
not use it?

unzip the file in texmf-local (or wherever you want) and run texexec --make --all

Hi all,

I'm afraid there still seems to be a problem with the XeTeX  
engine ... try to compile the following (I guess you can choose  
whichever OpenType font you have on your machine):

---

\definetypeface[Caslon][rm][Xserif][Adobe Caslon Pro]
\setupbodyfont[Caslon,12pt]

\starttext
\input tufte
\stoptext

---

My machine spills out the following messages:

---

! Font \*Caslon12ptrmtfrm*:='"mapping=tex-text at 12.0pt"' not  
loadable: instal
led font not found.
<to be read again>
                    \relax
\xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier
                                                   \let  
\localrelativefontsiz...

\fontstrategy ...me \fontclass #2#3#4#5\endcsname
                                                   \tryingfontfalse \fi
<inserted text> ...yle \fontalternative \fontsize

---

The same file used to compile with the January release of ConTeXt  
(2007.01.12) ... perhaps something has changed in the way how one has  
to specify the desired OpenType font?

Same problem and same question here. Remaking format files doesn't  
solve the problem. :-(

Fine. That'll be me then ;-) I have a Mac and I'm attending the meeting.

See ya there,

The problem lies here:

\definefontsynonym[Dummy]          ['\typescripttwo:mapping=tex-text']
  [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyItalic]
['\typescripttwo/I:mapping=tex-text'] [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyBold]
['\typescripttwo/B:mapping=tex-text'] [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyBoldItalic]['\typescripttwo/BI:mapping=tex-text'][encoding=uc]

Some definitions have indeed been changed, but no keyword equivalent
for mapping has been introduced yet. (Adding file:, name:, ... broke
that functionality ...)

There is a workaround (quick fix) for this (at least it seems to work
here), but this is not a nice solution. You can add the following
definitions at the beginning of the document (or fix the corresponding
places; also for sans ad mono):

\starttypescriptcollection[xetex]

\starttypescript[Xserif][all][name]
\definefontsynonym[Dummy]          [name:\typescripttwo]    [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyItalic]    [name:\typescripttwo/I]  [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyBold]      [name:\typescripttwo/B]  [encoding=uc]
\definefontsynonym[DummyBoldItalic][name:\typescripttwo/BI] [encoding=uc]
\stoptypescript

\stoptypescriptcollection

\def\fontfilename#1{"#1:mapping=tex-text"}


But there is a meeting today anyway ...
