Hi,
Sorry I did not answer to this one, because I do not have a lot of Linux
experience. - In fact I installed TTF in a win environment and can use them
with Context. The results? -
Prepare the afm and tfm files with the respective tools. (Use Hans his
namingscheme)
Prepare a typescript, which can go into \texmf\tex\context\user: e.g.
type-myttf.tex
\starttypescript [sans] [schwaben] [name]
\definefontsynonym [Sans] [SchwabenRoman]
\stoptypescript
Put a line in the file \texmf\tex\context\user\type-loc.tex ( this file is
automatically loaded at runtime)
\starttypescript [map] [texnansi]
\loadmapfile[texnansi-myttf.map]
\stoptypescript
Prepare the above mentioned map-file with the necessary lines:
texnansi-schwaben "Schwaben TeXnANSIEncoding ReEncodeFont" <schwaben.ttf
<texnansi.enc
In your texsource:
\usetypescriptfile[type-myttf]
\definetypeface [Firstfont][ss][sans][schwaben][default][encoding=texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[Firstfont,12pt]
At least in my case this works.
Success Willi
