Dear List,
at first: thanks a lot for TeX and ConTeXt.
I am really new to CoTeXt, TeX and LaTex, sorry. I come from the other side, from the DTP-side (the dark side). I have been working for more than 20 years in the graphics and prepess business with the mouse (only at the beginning some weeks playing with Linotype Series 300 and Linosetting and one day Berthold's ProfiPage).
I managed to redo a simple old job with context: the book block of a novel, incl. front matter and fonts from my own library. Even the first results were amazingly beautiful.
Now I want to redesign an academic journal (the International Journal of Conflict and Violence, www.ijcv.org) that I currently set with tango (something like Scribus or InDesign). I have got most of my font working with ConTeXt, but this time I failed. I can not get the ITC Franklin Gothic working.
My installation is ConTeXt standalone on linux mint. I installed the otf-fonts by copying them into the directory ~/context/tex/texmf-fonts/opentype/FranklinGothic/ . Then I run "mtxrun --generate" in the terminal.
"mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=*franklin*" gives:
itcfranklingothicstd itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf
itcfranklingothicstdbkcp itcfranklingothicstdbkcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCp.otf
itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf
itcfranklingothicstdbold itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf
itcfranklingothicstdbolditalic itcfranklingothicstddmcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCpIt.otf
itcfranklingothicstddemi itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf
itcfranklingothicstddmcp itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf
itcfranklingothicstddmcpit itcfranklingothicstddmcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCpIt.otf
itcfranklingothicstditalic itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf
itcfranklingothicstdnormal itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf
itcfranklingothicstdregular itcfranklingothicstdbkcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCp.otf
I thought that all font styles are available (but I only need Book Compressed, Book Compressed Italic, Demi Compressed, and Demi Compressed Italic).
So, this is my not working example:
%fonts for ijcv
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]
%
\definefontfamily [ijcv-fonts] [serif] [Minion Pro]
\definefontfamily [ijcv-fonts] [sans] [itcfranklingothicstd]
%
\definefontfeature [default] [default] [onum=yes]
%
\setupbodyfont[ijcv-fonts, 10.25pt]
\setupinterlinespace[4.75mm]
%
\starttext
Minion Pro 1234567890
\ss{ITC Franklin Gothic Book Compressed}
\stoptext
The problem is the fontname: [itcfranklingothicstd] doesn't work and I tried [ITC Franklin Gothic Std] and a lot of other spellings. I succeded with a lot of other fonts with this approach.
What could I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance
Florian

Try this:

Then you should ask fedora about the local guide. They know where

Hello Ciro,
> I am my distributor maintainer.
But you got your distribution from some source?
> what is the "local guide" you refer to?
This should come with your TeX system (Linux system, downloaded TeX
system, whatever) that tells you about things that you need to know
about your TeX system. Including the available fonts. Since I don't
know what your TeX system is, I can't tell you if you have such a
local guide. If it is not on your system, you should complain to the
person that gave you the TeX.
> Wouldn't it be nice to have a command in Context like:
> \listavailablefonts [type1 | truetype | ... | all]
Then please define what a font is. But apart from that, it is not
possible from within TeX.

You and 95% of all users, so don't feel bad. I've given up. I use
whatever comes out, which I guess is computer modern.
(I can use "Postscript" Times Roman, but no other "Postscript" font
works for me. Which is ok, since I use a lot of math and math comes out
in cm no matter what font you use.)

This should be stated in your local guide. If not, complain to the

\showfont[Serif]

I suggest you to look at texfont program and
mfonts.pdf
mtexfont.pdf
showfont.pdf
They can be a bit outdate, but still useful.
I have printed My Way -- OpenType in Context by Adam T.Lindsay--
also really useful.

Okay, this business of fonts/files/names/encoding/etc
is really difficult to understand for me.
I have a simple question. How do I list all fonts
I have available to use in ConTeXt in the
machine/system I have? Is there a file
where I can see the names of all these fonts?
And is there a template file or a command
to display the entire set of characters once I know
the
name of fonts?
FYI, I use ConTeXt with Linux Fedora Core 3.
I appreciate your help
