Subject: Getting font parameters in MkIV
Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2009 15:22:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1B390CEB-4DE6-4EDD-8E68-CCC837B48704@mpq.mpg.de> (raw)
Dear all,
how can I access font parameters (e.g. the thickness of the fraction rule) of an OpenType font in MkIV? Taco once gave me the solution:
---
\usetypescript[cambria]
\setupbodyfont[cambria]
\def\defaultrulethickness{\the\fontdimen8\textfont3\relax}
\starttext
\the\defaultrulethickness
\stoptext
---
which used to work in the old MkII days. Now with MkIV I get:
---
! Font \nullfont has only 7 fontdimen parameters.
<to be read again>
\relax
l.10 \the\defaultrulethickness
?
---
What's the new method to obtain the desired parameters?
Best wishes,
Oliver
