spurious text produced by TABLE

spurious text produced by TABLE

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear posse,

TABLE produces a spurious dot in the following (look closely at the center of 
the big box on the right). How can I get rid of this? If this is a bug, Is 
there a workaround?

gwTeX+ConTeXT+new Latin Modern

[Matthias Weber]

Hello,

I am trying to install the new ConTeXt version using Gerben't 
iinstaller on the Mac.
 From what I see, I have to use the TeXLive 2005 (beta) distribution, 
and I have to
install the new Latin Modern fonts manually. The latter is causing me 
headaches,
I downloaded the fonts from
https://www.pragma-pod.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip
but I don't know what to do with them, i.e. where to put them and
what spells to invoke to make them work.

Thanks,

Matthias

I know not of a LM release newer than what is in my TeX i-Package: LM 
0.98.3 but maybe I am not up to date with my knowledge?

Re: gwTeX+ConTeXT+new Latin Modern

[Matthias Weber]

Thanks, Gerben.
So this means that the new LMs are now in your i-Package, this is good 
news.
The bad news on my part is that using other fonts like

\starttext

\usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

Hello, World?

\stoptext

doesn't work anymore (it produces ugly bitmap fonts) and I have no clue
what's wrong with this time.

PSNFSS in new ConTeXt?

[Matthias Weber]

After doing some gardening at the really useful ConTeXtGarden, I found 
that

\starttext
\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[pos]
\usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

Hello world!
\stoptext

which used to work before doesn't work neither on my Mac nor at live @ 
contextgarden.net.
How does one access these fonts?

(And sorry for blaming gwTeX for this!)

Matthias

Re: PSNFSS in new ConTeXt?

[Gerben Wierda]

I don't know but it looks like a lot of palatino stuff is in teTeX and 
thus in gwTeX. Maybe it is just a matter of a map that has to be 
enabled?

It is really not Gerben's fault! At some point the pos-typescript has 
been deprecated (at least according to the comments in 
tex/context/base/type-pre.tex).

However, the typescript file is now enclosed in

\starttypescriptcollection[previous]
   ...
\stoptypescriptcollection

These might give you some hint about how to proceed.

---

The more modern way of solving this problem is to forget about the old 
pos collection and leverage the user value by embracing the novel 
typescript paradigm. (Oops, sorry, my marketing-bs-generator seems to be 
breaking in.)

The modern way to get to use the free URW fonts is to run 
context/data/type-tmf.dat (or, rather, run texfont and give type-tmf.dat 
as a batch file). This will enable using a lot of nice fonts in the URW 
collection.

However, there are two gotchas:

1. With gwTeX, running the command

   texfont --encoding=ec --batch type-tmf.dat

at least previously resulted in some errors about unknown files. They 
may be fixed with an ugly hack: replace all occurences of TEXMFMAIN by 
TEXMFTE in type-tmf.dat.


2. After the fonts are installed, you have the fonts. Nice. But no 
typescripts. Not so nice. I have made some typescripts for 
Palatino/Helvetica/Courier and SchoolBook/Helvetica/Courier 
combinations. There might be something already done in the ConTeXt 
distribution, but I have not found anything that useful. (I can Wiki 
them if someone finds it useful.)


Good luck!
