I am trying to use the grid features in ConTeXt, but some of the commands are somehow not recognized by the compiler.
Whenever I try to use the commands
\placeongrid or \moveongrid, the compiler exits with an error message such as:
l.27 \moveongrid [both] ? >Exit code: -1073741510
the grid=yes option for the \setuplayout works well, but this is not what I intend to use.
I have both the TeXLive 2012 package and the ConTeXt Standalone (ver. 2012.10.17), and both distributions produce the same error message.
One concern is that when I try to update my ConTeXt standalone files, I get a message saying
The program can't start because kpathsea611.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I wonder if this has any relevance to the issue. Btw, I am on a Win7-x64 system.
\moveongridis mkii only, if you think you need it you will have to run your file through texexec. 3. kpathsea is linked into LuaTeX. It is, however, unnecessary and even disabled in Context (mkiv) so afaict the warning shouldn’t hurt. – phg Oct 18 '12 at 7:56\startlinecorrectionand\stoplinecorrectionuntil I get desired results seems to work a bit. – user21044 Oct 18 '12 at 8:20\setuplayout[grid=yes](orstrictorverystrict) to activate snapping in the first place. What do you mean when you say you do not intend to use it? Btw. here is some additional documentation in the details doc and on the wiki in case you missed it. – phg Oct 18 '12 at 8:27[grid =yes]the commands don't make a difference. Guess I kinda misunderstood the mechanism. I thought that the snapping commands would effectively bring in a grid locally. Now, my options seem to be narrowed down to either using the global grid setting or just living with\startlinecorrectionon a non-grid. Probably the grid is the way to go. Anyway, thanks for all your help! – user21044 Oct 18 '12 at 9:47
