Bold math symbols

Bold math symbols

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi Matthew,

Here is a hack that apparently works ok with the Lucida fonts. It
gives you a 'boldmath' command much like latex has. Hope this was what 
you had in mind.

$A\bf\mf + A = \sqrt\alpha$

$\boldmath

$A\bf\mf + A = \sqrt\alpha$

{\boldmath

}

$A\bf + A = \sqrt\alpha$

\stoptext

Works a treat.  Thanks!

Off-topic, where did the Lucida fonts come from?  They look a lot like
Palatino.

Hi All,

Differences between the 9-13 and 9-30 versions of ConTeXt:

texexec:

- new switches: --language (sets main language)
                --bodyfont (sets bodyfont)
                --noduplex (disable doublesided)

- some extra defaults built-in for older options
- now restores user-supplied cont-usr after runs etc.etc.
  (many changes here, but all are related to the three new
  switches, it seems)

cont-de, cont-en, cont-nl, cont-uk:

- use cont-usr instead of hardwired languages
- remove cmx fonts from initialization

context:

- relocate \input cont-usr here
  (never used if context.tex is called from cont-xx etc.)

cont-usr.ori, cont-usr.tex:

- new format for language selection 
  (initialize at fmt generation time instead of at \everyjob)
- allow preloading of tjech & polish fonts instead of cmr

lang-ini:

- language selection at \everyjob moved to here

lang-sla:

- many fixes to the polish label/specifics section

font-cmr:

- now contains the definitions from font-cmx.

font-cmx: deleted

  (14.4, 17.3, 20.7)

font-unk:

- fix some typos

mult-con:

- some new translations by Tobias.
- new request: wachttijd - delay - ??

verb-ini:

- adds \spaceskip and \xspaceskip settings

cont-new:

- changed macro \dosetlinkregister moved to core-01a

core-01a:
- \dotextprefix changed
- \dosetlinkregister and some \entryreference stuff
  re-integrated
- \endheadplacement : minor change
- \loadoptionfile : safer / cleaner

core-01d:

- support delays in PDF page transitions
  (\setupinteractionscreen[delay=])

core-fig:

- type of german translation fixed
- \edef instead of \def for filename

core-hlp:

- guards around user-supplied help information
  (only include if used)

core-ref:

- some macros switched from \leaveoutervmode to \dontleavehmode
- \dotextprefix redefined (this one uses the old definition)

core-tab:

- minor fix

enco-ini:

- expansion fix for PDFdocencoding in \donthandleaccent & \donthandlecommand
- etc (more expansion fixes).

java-fld:

- function Walk_field() removed
- bugfix to \startJSpreamble

s-pre-00

- support for colored backgrounds for \presentationstep
  (\definecolor[StepColor][white])
- adds \autopresentationstep

spec-fdf:

- page transition support

supp-fil:

- new macro: \unlinkfile
- adds redefinition of / to startreadingfile
  (needed because / is \active in polish)

The delay used for auto proceed to next page in acrobat full screen
mode. I needed that for the nts shifting puzzle (presentation).

Indeed, this one.

For the impatient: this option builds your page piecewise in
presentations.
