IRC ConTeXt Channel

IRC ConTeXt Channel

[Lazycode]

Greetings!

  Is there an IRC (Internatl Relay Channel) for ConTeXt? If
so, which server and channel name? If not, is one allowed
to form an unofficial one?

Thanks,

I suggest irc.freenode.net to create one, has bot facilities to keep
the channel alive.

Typeface Dolly installed on Linux system, but...

[Roef Ragas]

Dear all, 

with the help from Hans and some tweaking, installed a font called Dolly
on my RedHat system. I've read some good advice on
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html#newfont
although uncommenting the line % \autoloadmapfilestrue
in cont-sys.tex AND adding the new built-map to pdftex.cfg like this:
%   map +texnansi-uw-dolly.map
will generate a lot of 'duplicate / ignored' messages.
Is one of them better?

The file texnansi-uw-dolly.tex gives a nice font-mapping, so everything
seems to be installed just fine.

There is still one mountain/hill to climb: I'm not able to use the font
in my text. I created a type-dolly.tex file, and put it in my path. It
looks like this:

---
%
% Underwear Dolly
%
\usetypescriptfile [type-buy]
\loadmapfile [texnansi-uw-dolly.map]

\starttypescript        [serif] [dolly] [texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Bold]            [texnansi-DollyBol]    
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Italic]          [texnansi-DollyIta]    
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Roman]           [texnansi-DollyRom]    
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-SmallCaps]       [texnansi-DollySmaCap] 
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Ligatuur-Bold]   [texnansi-DollyLigBol] 
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Ligatuur-Italic] [texnansi-DollyLigIta] 
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Ligatuur-Roman]  [texnansi-DollyLigRom] 
[encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript        [serif] [dolly] [name]
 \usetypescript         [serif] [fallback]
\definefontsynonym      [Serif]         [Dolly-Roman]
\definefontsynonym      [SerifBold]     [Dolly-Bold]
\definefontsynonym      [SerifItalic]   [Dolly-Italic]
\definefontsynonym      [SerifCaps]     [Dolly-SmallCaps]
\definefontsynonym      [OldStyle]      [Dolly-SmallCaps]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [Dolly]
\definetypeface         [Dolly] [rm] [serif] [dolly] [default]
[enconding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
---

Then I made a small test-file, like this:

\usetypescriptfile[type-dolly]
        \usetypescript[Dolly]
        \setupbodyfont[Dolly]
        
        \starttext
        This is Dolly roman, {\it italic,} {\bf bold,} and {\bi bold-italic.}
        
        {\em \bf This is also bold-italic.}
        
        We have {\sc small caps} and old-style figures: {\os 0123456789}.
        \stoptext
        
        
Then texexec --pdf test-file.tex complains

bodyfont       : unknown variant Dolly


Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?
I'm running pdfetex 3.14159-14h-released-20010417-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.3.1) on a RedHat 8.0 Linux system.


Thanks for your time & help,

I don't know. Nowerdays I add the mapfiles with updmap:
updmap --enable Map dolly.map

But this might require a rather new tetex system.


put these lines (actually you have to define rm, ss *and* tt!)  in
the .tex file after the line \usetypescriptfile[type-dolly].

[put the lines here!]

\definetypeface [Dolly][rm][serif][dolly][default]    [encoding=ec]
\definetypeface [Dolly][ss][sans][helvetica][default] [rscale=.9, encoding=ec]
\definetypeface [Dolly][tt][mono][computer-modern][computer-modern][rscale=1.1,encoding=ec]

this is not needed.

My scripts generate a lot of warning messages also. I ignore them if
they don't references a font I am using.

Did you run texhash after creating the typescript file? Introducing any
new file requires the filename database be refreshed.

That is probably the wisest thing to do ;-D

Yes I did. It would be nice if it was something like this though.
Thanks for your help, reinstalling everything at the moment just to be
sure...

That generates an enormous amount of error messages here...

Even if you're not using them?

I did like you told me. The encoding Dolly uses is texnansi, so that's
the only thing I changed. But alas, this doesn't help either. I tried
commenting and uncommenting lines but haven't found anything yet. I'm
now reinstalling TeTeX to do everything again from scratch...
Thanks for your help,

OK, forget it then :)

Well, I'd gess no.

Sorry, this was a copy and paste error from my dolly-files.

I'll send you my two files off-list to test.

even know what an IRC is)

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your help, although I'm sorry to say it's still not working.
When I run texexec --pdf on your file, I'm getting the next error
messages, using your type-dolly.tex. On the other hand:
texnansi-uw-dolly.tex still turns out every nice letter of my Dolly
font.

since you're permanently on line, maybe patrick can take a look into your 
system (log in)

It most definitely does, but when I do a
\loadmapfile[texnansi-uw-dolly.map], it still can't find the fonts.
I'm getting quite confused, I must say.
Once again, I'm going to start all over...

Thanks for your help again,

Roef

Internet Relay Chat, group chatting, interesting for interactive support.
