Subject: Using Fraktur (and Gothic and Calligraphic) fonts in ConTeXt
Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2002 20:07:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <124930209.20021207200712@iol.it> (raw)
Hello,
I just wanted to report the conclusions I reached after the
hoop-jumping I had to go through to be able to use Fraktur in
ConTeXt, especially in math environments: it seems that the \frak,
\goth, \cal font switches are ignored in math mode (which is
somewhat ridiculous, considering that this is where they are used
more often).
A workaround (stolen from the old math module) is to define
\def\fraktur #1{\ifmmode\@EA\text\fi{{\frak#1}}}
\def\gothic #1{\ifmmode\@EA\text\fi{{\goth#1}}}
\def\caligraphic#1{\ifmmode\@EA\text\fi{{\cal #1}}}
and use \fraktur{a} instead of {\frak a}. This has the
disadvantage that you cannot set Fraktur as the (math) font for a
complex math construct. Can this be fixed, please?
