\sf and bigggg fonts

\sf and bigggg fonts

[Xan]

Hi,

Is it possible to have the equivalent in \sf in context?. I tried \sf 
and I get an error. Strange because \sl, \bf, etc exist

And another question: how to make very big fonts (for example: 60pt) in 
text and mathematical mode? I just want to change the font temporally 
(and don't touch \setupbodyfont)

Thanks in advance,
Xan.

\ss? (I am not sure what \sf is supposed to be, so just guessing)

\switchtobodyfont inside a group will change the font temporarily. For 
using very large fonts, you may have to define the font dimension in 
\definebodyfont or \definebodyfontenvironment.

\sf is Sans Serif (latex)
[\rm roman, \tt typewriter, \sl slanted, \emph empasized, \it italic \bf 
boldface; see "a not so short intro to latex" for example]

Okay.

\ss is plain tex's font command for sans serif, and works with 
context. I do not know why latex chose \sf (sffamily, textsf) instead 
of ss.

I've been wrapping the text in \begingroup..\endgroup and changing the
bodyfont inside it.  For example, to make slightly bigger titles (by
12%) than is possible with just \bfd:

\setuphead[title][style={\ss\bfd},
  before={\begingroup\setupbodyfont[14.4pt]},
  after={\bigskip\bigskip\endgroup}]

For titles, I use the following.

\definefont[titlefont][SansBold at 14.4pt] %Or 14.4*d

\setuphead[title][style=\titlefont]

You are wrong, \ss is in plain TeX the command to produce the german ß.
There has never been a predefined command to swith to a sans serif font like
the corresponding switches for bold and italic.

why not

\setuphead
  [title]
  [style=\ss\bfd,
   before={\switchtobodyfont[14.4pt]},
   after={\switchtobodyfont[global]}]

so much for the feeling that I was beginning to understand fonts :-(

Because I didn't know about the global option :-)

It's cleaner than my method.  It's only disadvantage is that the
global setting may not be the one in effect just outside the \title.
e.g.

  \setupbodyfont[10pt]
  \starttext

  \begingroup
  \setupbodyfont[20pt]
  A big line

  \title{some title}

  after the title
  \endgroup

  More text

  \stoptext

would put 'after the title' in 10pt instead of 20pt.

That's useful.  One problem: When the title spans multiple lines, then
the \baselineskip won't be large enough.  That's why I like using the
builtin font-change operators.

So, is there any command for that?. How can I get \sf in latex in context?

Are you sure? The baseline looks ok to me.


\definefont[titlefont][SansBold at 30pt]
\setuphead[title][style=\titlefont]


\starttext
\title{Hello world! hello hello hello hello hello}
\stoptext

In ConTeXt, \ss switches to sans serif. What Wolfgang meant (IIUC) was 
that there is no command in plain tex to switch to sans serif.

Okay. Clarified.
But it does not appear in this wiki page. Maybe you could update it

For the other hand, can you inform me how to translate context interface 
in catalan and spanish language?. Is there any .po file? I don't know 
how context works in this aspect.

And another question: is there a "context planet"? Funny if I could see 
the comments about developers and context users.

Hi Sanjoy,

i forget this when I was writing my last mail, it is indeed better to change
the font inside a group instead a global change.

you should look at the header in the 3rd column.

I was more sure than I should have been -- you're right, it's fine.
Next time I'll run a real test rather than mentally simulate what I

If you say \mainlanguage[es] or \mainlanguage[spanish] to get spenish
labels and hyphenation.

If you want support for Catalan, you need to translate the strings in
lang-ita.tex (and some minor additional cosmetics).

If you would like to use different commands (Spanish equivalent of
\setupsomething etc.), you need to look into the source (it's done for
quite some languages already) and add Spanish strings - there are lots
of files to patch. But I would think twice before doing that. If there
is no manual with these commands, it's hard for users to find them,
and some commands are not translated (listed for translation) at all.

I just want to translate the strings appear when we run texexec

Hi Xan,

the messages that appear on the terminal are spread above all modules
in the core files. The are written between the \startmessages ...
\stopmessages pair and give only the messages for the current interface
language.

I don't think it is possible to output spanish messages with the
english interface.
