Lately I tried to make some Postscript fonts I used to use with LaTeX available in ConTeXt. For LaTeX I have used vfinst (calls fontinst) to create all the necessary virtual fonts. For ConTeXt I just tried to insert the following lines in my test-file, to use Bitstream GillSans: \definefontsynonym [Sans] [bgsr8t] [encoding=t1] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [bgsb8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [bgsri8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [bgsro8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [bgsbi8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [bgsbo8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [bgsrc8t] [encoding=ec] \definebodyfont [14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt] [ss] [default] \setupbodyfont[sans] All looks fine (especally the umlauts äöü) except the "ß" (grmdbls, sz, "s). This glyph came out as "SS". Can you help me? Is there an HOWTO for installing arbitrary fonts in context? The "Typographie"-chapter of the english beta manual just confuses me :-(( Yours Uwe Koloska -- mailto:koloska@rcs.urz.tu-dresden.de http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~koloska/ -- -- right now the web page is in german only but this will change as time goes by ;-)
