BTW I like the Sabon very much too,  the designer of Sabon is the great
Typographer Jan Tschichold.

I made the TFM, VF... files myself with fontinst. I can give you my
font-bsb.tex,
tfm´s, vf´s and map-file if you want. They work very fine with context.

I think it's time to sort out these issues. We still have the pending font
names problem and I expect more font setups. Taco, what is the status of
the font names (the predefined name mappings)?

Currently slightly frozen due to lack of time on my part. Sorry,
it 'll be januari first before I get around to that.

Sabon versus Times

[Maarten Wisse]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1579 bytes --]

Hi all,

I try to get a new font Sabon (Bitstream Classical Garamond) working on
ConTeXt. I've installed the font with the files available on CTAN and
I've than included the following things in my environment file:

\definefontsynonym [Sabon-Roman]      [bsbr0]
\definefontsynonym [Sabon-Italic]     [bsbri0]
\definefontsynonym [Sabon-Bold]       [bsbb0]
\definefontsynonym [Sabon-BoldItalic] [bsbbi0]

\definefontsynonym [Serif]            [Sabon-Roman]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold]        [Sabon-Bold]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic]      [Sabon-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted]     [Sabon-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic]  [Sabon-BoldItalic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [Sabon-BoldItalic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifCaps]        [Sabon-Roman]

\definebodyfont [14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt] [rm]
[default]

Obviously, Sabon is found by TeX, because output follows and postscript
can be made, but the problem is now that the encoding is certainly
false, because als spaces are deleted and many characters are replaced
by others. Every line has a hyphenation problem of course, without
space.
First, I had the same things in my environment file, but with ec
encoding behind this, so:

\definefontsynonym [Sabon-BoldItalic] [bsbbi0]  [encoding=ec]

That doesn't help either.

Who knows the answer. I know that the fonts properly work with both OT1
and T1 encoding in LaTeX. How to work with them in ConTeXt? Thanks in
advance.
