fonts/tetex

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi,

do the fonts that are shipped with the tetex distribution work 'out of the 
box'? For example (at least on my system) the palatino-like font from urw 
is mapped (in pdftex.map) like this:

pplr8r "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc <uplr8a.pfb

but there seems to be no mapping from 'Palatino-Roman' to pplr...

Has anybody made a 'easy to use' typescript file for tetex?

did you grep type-*.tex ?

If needed we can add an appropriate palatino section to the berry 
typescript so that when you load that, you can use the system fonts

of course you can also use texfont -)

[ps are you still planning to write this font program?]

why do you say encoding=texnansi with the file ...8t? If I understand the 
kb naming scheme, the 8t stands for '8 bit TeX' aka ec aka T1. And texnansi 
is the one that comes from y&y, also known as 8r, ly1

Oh! You're right. 8r is TeXBase1. It is all so confusing. Thanks.

sure I did :) There is a mapping to upl*, none to ppl

It would be nice if we had a beginners instruction: 'If you have tetex and 
want to use context/postscript fonts, just type \dosomething[very,short]' 
and not 'please run texfont with these options and copy the...' 

I cannot really see the strategy on how to use the system fonts. 
-------------
In the manual ('fonts in context', April 2001) it is said:
\switchtobodyfont[pos,tim]
to switch to times. But that gives me:

kpathsea: Running mktextfm  ec-utmr8a
[...]

which is definately wrong.
------------
the cont-sys.tex says:
% If you want the default berry names (ec and 8r only): 
%
% \usetypescript [berry] [\defaultencoding]

but: where do I go from here? (what do I have to type next to get 
times/palatino...)

------------
\setupencoding[default=8r]
\usetypescript[berry][8r]
\setupbodyfont[pos]

this gives me a messed up encoding
(same with ec)
-------------
\usetypescript [map] [all]
\setupbodyfont[ber,pos,ss,10pt] 

tries to locate 8r-uhvr8a -> fail
--------------
(the above examples came from messages in this mailinglist)

> of course you can also use texfont -)

I would like to use it w/o using texfont :)

> [ps are you still planning to write this font program?]
yes, I wanted to have a running beta by next week (I am giving a tutorial 
about font installation with LaTeX) but since it is more complicated than 
I've thought... there will be a delay.

What's wrong with it?
upl are (free) URW Palladio, ppl are (expensive) Adobe Palatino.
Why there should be a mapping for a font that "nobody" has, at least legally?

I thought you needed the URW mappings -- they're wrong, 'cause I never use

not very much... it just won't work :)

not really. On my two tetex installations, when I as the dvi driver for a 
pplr* font, it is the URW variant. It should be uplr* but it isn't. Don't 
konw where this comes from.

I don't know who made the psfonts.map /pdftex.map file.

Re: fonts/tetex

I would like that very much as well. I didn't even know that out-of-the-box
there were more fonts possible than CMR. From the recent messages I see that
it is possible but very complicated and sensitive to misunderstanding, so a
short listing of what one should exactly do to get such fonts (including a
working tex file, not snippets that one should select, combine, add or
modify) would be something I'd be looking forward to!

All definitions in type-* are based on the more extended naming of fonts, 
i.e. the -encoding scheme; now, on my machine (with map loading enabled) i 
can say:

\definetypeface[charter] [rm][serif][charter] [default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface[utopia]  [rm][serif][utopia]  [default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface[bookman] [rm][serif][bookman] [default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface[palatino][rm][serif][palatino][default][encoding=texnansi]

\starttext
   \switchtobodyfont[         10pt] \input tufte \par
   \switchtobodyfont[charter, 10pt] \input tufte \par
   \switchtobodyfont[utopia,  10pt] \input tufte \par
   \switchtobodyfont[bookman, 10pt] \input tufte \par
   \switchtobodyfont[palatino,10pt] \input tufte \par
\stoptext

So, the free fonts on tex live (there are some more defined) are already 
available!

If you want, i can send you a zip with the texmf-fonts tree (as generated 
by texfont) that is needed for this.

If you want berry names, you can start your file with

\usetypescript[berry][texnansi]

or [ec] if you've used encoding=ec

All but charter worked for me, I don't think I have run texfont on charter.
We ought to be able to use the Acrobat 14 embedded fonts shouldn't we.
Helvetica, times, courier, etc. You wouldn't happen to have wonderful
example lines would you? I have been fighting this as well. What I am
guessing that the above lets us do is to grow into the delights of
fontsynonyms later.

I think this is one of the complexities that new starters have trouble with.
I am sure the statement is true but what us less expert people need is the
consistent simple place to start and then move on when we have to.

i never use the embedded ones, since they keep on changing the metrics; so, 
i always embed times, helvetica etc [also, system fonts are substitutes 
sometimes, which is not what you want]

If you can document it in a way that makes it workable for others as well

Strongly seconded. CMR is just not an option for me, an until I can
figure this stuff out, I'm stuck with LaTeX/mathpple. (Not that bad, I
guess, but...)

it doesn't. pdfetex always asks for texnansi-* which does not exist.

I haven't added new examples recently, but my page at
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html shows how to
select fonts that already exist on the system, as well as how to install
new fonts with texfont. I use Charter and Utopia as examples of existing
fonts, and Sabon as a new font.

The page  goes into typescripts in some detail, because that method
gives the greatest flexibility of definition. And, believe it or not, it
is actually easy to use once you know how. It was a short time ago that
I was posting "please help a beginner" messages...

Re: fonts/tetex

What I did was ask a local TeX guru to exactly tell me which files to put
where to get my Times font working with the expert set that I added from a
shop. So I do have one alternative font working, but I'd still like to know
how to use the other stuff that's apparently in my installation in some
way...

Hi,

I had a look at the berry typescript and created a tetex typescript:

type-tetex.tex

%% do not use :) except for experiments
%% Patrick Gundlach
%% Last Change: Thu Apr  4 19:11:38 2002

\starttypescript [tetex] [ec]

\definefontsynonym [ec-utmb8a-slanted-167]     [ptmbo8t]

this is my testfile:

\setupencoding[default=ec]
\usetypescriptfile[type-tetex]
\usetypescript[tetex][ec]
\definetypeface[times]    [rm][serif][times]   [default][encoding=ec]
\starttext
 \switchtobodyfont[times, 10pt]  times \showcharacters  \par
\stoptext

It switches to times, but the encoding is messed up.

Hi,

one other question:

why do I have to say  \switchtobodyfont [rm] in order to switch to the new 
font? The  \showbodyfont looks ok but everything is typeset in the old \rm 
(cmr)

by the way: what is the preferred method to switch the \rm style only? I 
would like to be able to say \usetypescript[times] and have the \rm 
changed, but leave the \ss and \tt alone. So it would stay at cmss and 
cmtt, unless I issue a changing command.

file a.tex:

better:

\usetypescript[tetexnames][ec]

\definetypeface[patrick][rm][serif][tetextimes][default][encoding=ec]

\setupbodyfont[patrick,10pt]

Hello Hans et al.,

yes, but with the above I can gather all stranges names into one 
typescript!?! Or should I rather use \usetypescript [all][tetexnames][ec] 
when accessing the names?

but with the first method I can change the apperance of \rm only, while the 
latter messes up the \ss and \tt families. But this has the drawback I 
mentioned in the mail.

I want to swith the \rm only. How can this be accomplished?

Another question: am I right when I believe that \starttypescript [..] [..] 
... have nothing to do with fonts? Except that they are used when calling 
\defineypeface? Aren't they 'just' filtering methods for any kind of stuff 
(but don't get the 'just' wrong, I like this kind of stuff).

[tetexnames][ec]

is ok then

see type-pre.tex:

\usetypescript [sans,mono,math] [computer-modern] [default,name,size]

they are indeed filtering methods, but they do a bit of pushing and popping 
in order to preserve states; i will probably generalize it (in which case 
it should be configurable)

Good morning,

> see type-pre.tex:
> \usetypescript [sans,mono,math] [computer-modern] [default,name,size]

Oh, I might have expressed myself a bit fuzzyly. I want to use 
\definetypface[..][rm][serif]....
but the typeface [...][ss][sans]....
and the typeface [...][tt][mono].... should not be touched. (Not even 
switched back to cm)

Example: in LaTeX (the L-word :) if you say \usepackage{times}, only the 
\rmdefault will be changed to times roman, the \sfdefault (sans) and 
\ttdefault will be left in its original state. That way you can set up a 
typsecript and change one font (rm, ss, tt) afterwards. With 
\definetypeface, this is (as far as I have seen) not possible. (I have read 
the source but could not find a reason why this is the behaviour.)
