Hi,

I believe that there is a LaTeX package which typesets the METAPOST text in
a certain font, I do not remember which. How can I typeset same Metapost
logo in ConTeXt. It looks like below;

These are the right commands for both (according to cont-log.mkxl or
cont-log.mkiv):

   \MetaFontLogo
   \MetaPostLogo

Just in case it helps,

[NTG-context] Nāgarī for Academics

[Jürgen Hanneder via ntg-context]

I have a few questions concerning the commands for setting up Indic  
Fonts, specifically
for the use of Indologists and other academics dealing with Indian Languages.

I have been using the following command in older versions:

\definefontfamily [nagari] [rm] [Adishila] [features=devanagari-one]
\setupbodyfont [nagari]
Example:   आनन्द

This seems to be out of date and for most academics (especially  
outside of India) it is preferable
to use Sanskrit in transcription (almost all databases use  
transcription) for input even if
printing in Nāgarī. For this we now seem to have the transliteration  
IAST to Devanagari (?)

What we need are thus three elements: switching the language to  
Sanskrit temporarily (the main
language will be english), setting the font for Sanskrit (let us say  
AsishilaSan),
and enabling input of sanskrit in transcription (input: ānanda ->  
output आनन्द).

Just a background note: Transcription and Nāgarī are not as equivalent  
as one would want. In
transcription some word divisions are indicated that are not indicated  
in a Nāgarī text, which
makes reading transcription easier — for those used to it. For most  
Indian scholars transcription
is understandably a nuissance, a bit like reading English in phonetic  
alphabets.

If someone could tell me how to get all these things into a few  
commands, I would be most
grateful. My own attempts, mostly trial and error, did not succeed.

Best
Jürgen

Hello Jürgen,

Are you after a Context version of something such as 
Xetex Devanagari?

Hi Jürgen,

just in case the following might help (no Indian language experience [I
just learnt that Devanagari and Nagari were both scripts]).

This may be the way (adapted from lang-tra.mkxl):

  \definefontfamily [nagari] [rm] [Adishila]
    [features=devanagari-one]
  \setupbodyfont [nagari]

  \usetransliteration[indic]

  \definetransliteration
    [MyDeva]
    [lang=sa,
     vector={iast to deva}]

  \starttext

  Is this Sanskrit?

  \starttransliteration[MyDeva]
    idaṁ adbhutam kauśika tisraḥ garuḍavāhanan
  \stoptransliteration

  I really don’t know:
  \transliteration[MyDeva]{idaṁ adbhutam kauśika tisraḥ garuḍavāhanan}.

  \stoptext

As included in the text, I don’t have the slighliest idea whether the
transliterated text may be Sanskrit.

> What we need are thus three elements: switching the language to

\sa is the language switch (which also enables hyphenation). But since
you need transliteration, it is automatically added in the defined
transliteration.

> setting the font for Sanskrit (let us say  AsishilaSan),

You already defined that in your minimal sample.

See above.

Let us know whether the previous sample worked for you (or how it is
failing).

BTW, feel free to improve

I hope it helps,

You can take a look at

	type-imp-indic.mkxl

which has some about transliterations (there is a subsystem for that)

[NTG-context] Re: Nāgarī for Academics

[Jürgen Hanneder via ntg-context]

The text below works, thanks for the help!

But there is one more problem.

I could not find an elegant method to set the language of the document  
to English without
disabling Nagari. If one adds \setupbodyfont[minion] the Nagari parts  
disappear.

The normal scenario would be a document in English with Sanskrit as a  
secondary language, to
one switches with a command that changes font, language and activates  
the transliteration
mechanism.

\starttransliteration[MyDeva] does not do this as soon as one sets the  
roman font.

Thanks again!


PS: I can write a few notes for Sanskritists for the wiki, I also  
wrote something
on critical editions in ConteXt, which could perhaps be useful for  
others (in the
MyWay format).

---------

\setuppapersize[A4]

\definefontfamily [nagari] [rm] [adishila] [features=devanagari-one]
\setupbodyfont[nagari]

\usetransliteration[indic]

\subject{Some notes on Printing Sanskrit with lmtx}


योग -- That is the word Yoga, input and, when you compile this document,
printed in (Deva)Nagari script.

1. In academic publishing we often type in the so-called IAST transliteration
and also print in it with diacritics (Nāgarī, Himālaya, Kṛṣṇa etc.).
For this we only need a font that has the required diacritics or (in some
cases) tell the font to do in anyway with

\definefontfeature[default][default][fakecombining=yes,compose=yes]

2. What is extremely practical is to have an input in transcription (yoga),
but pdf output as योग.
This is the task of the iast to deva option in the set of indic  
transliterations
defined in the preamble.

These are two ways to use this method:

\starttransliteration[MyDeva]
   yoga
\stoptransliteration

\transliteration[MyDeva]{yoga}

Default language is US English. I mean, this is already set.

For other languages, \mainlanguage[de] (as an example).

As for the fonts, you need a fallback typeface:

  \definefallbackfamily [nagari] [rm] [adishila]
    [range={devanagari, devanagariextendeda, devanagariextendeda},
     force=yes, features=devanagari-one]

  \definefontfamily [nagari] [rm] [Minion Pro]

  \setupbodyfont[nagari]

Adding the above commands, it should work. There is an issue with
language, but I’m opening a new thread.

I hope it helps,

Pablo

You can put all settings (fonts, transliteration etc.) you need for your 
sanskrit texts
in a setups blocks and apply the block to a language. When you use now 
the \language
command (or environment) all settings are now applied to the content.

Below is a untested example.

\definefontfamily [nagari] [rm] [adishila] [features=devanagari-one]

\usetransliteration[indic]

\definetransliteration
   [MyDeva]
   [lang=sa,
    vector={iast to deva}]

\startsetups [sanskrit]
   \settransliteration[MyDeva]
   \switchtobodyfont[nagari]
\stopsetups

\setuplanguage [sa] [setups=sanskrit]

\starttext

\subject{Some notes on Printing Sanskrit with lmtx}

\language[sa]{योग} -- That is the word Yoga, input and, when you compile 
this document,
printed in (Deva)Nagari script.

\stoptext

Dear Richard,

>

Indeed. In my XeTeX publications settling the font was quite straightforward:

\usepackage{polyglossia,fontspec,xunicode}
\setmainfont{Adobe Text Pro}
\newfontfamily\sanskritfont[Script=Devanagari,Mapping=RomDev,Scale=1.4]{AdishilaSan}
\setdefaultlanguage{english} \setotherlanguage{sanskrit}


But coming back to ConTeXt:

I am grateful to Pablo and Wolfgang for their suggestions, but
it does not (yet) work as it should. Perhaps this has to do
with the problem in the language command. Here is my test file that
works up to the point, and then shows the problem.

-----------
\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuplayout[width=14cm, height=fit]

\definefontfamily [roman] [rm] [minion]

\definefontfamily [nagari] [rm] [Adishila] [features=devanagari-one]
\setupbodyfont [nagari]

\usetransliteration[indic]
\definetransliteration
[MyDeva]   [lang=sa,vector={iast to deva}]

\startsetups [sanskrit]
\settransliteration[MyDeva]
\switchtobodyfont[nagari]
\stopsetups

\setuplanguage [sa] [setups=sanskrit]

\starttext

Example:   आनन्द। अपिच       % this comes out as it should, but since  
input is in Nagari there is no transliteration involved.
test                                          % the word "test" comes  
out in roman, i.e. switching back to roman works.

\language[sa]{yoga}                    % the word "yoga" is typeset in  
Nagari as expected,
test                                              % but the word  
"test" is still typeset in Nagari

\language[en]{test}                    % still no switching back to  
roman, it seems stuck with Nagari.

Does it work if you say

{\language[sa]yoga}
test

?
I know \language only as a switch, but Hans changed several macros so 
that they work both ways. And the next \language should still switch, 
but perhaps \setuplanguage[en][setups=latin] or similar is necessary.

You set a font here for english text but never enable it.

This is where you set the font for the whole document.

That's it!!

Together with Wolfgang's patient corrections, I now have a version  
that works. Here again, for the record:

---------
\definefallbackfamily [Roman] [rm] [Adishila]  
[range=devanagari,features=devanagari-one]
\definefontfamily     [Roman] [rm] [Minion Pro]

\setupbodyfont [Roman]

\definefontfamily [nagari] [rm] [Adishila] [features=devanagari-one]

\usetransliteration[indic]

\definetransliteration [MyDeva] [lang=sa,vector={iast to deva}]

\startsetups [sanskrit]
   \settransliteration[MyDeva]
   \switchtobodyfont[nagari]
\stopsetups

\setuplanguage [sa] [setups=sanskrit]

\starttext

Example: आनन्द

Example: {\language[sa]yoga}

yoga, (in roman again)

\stoptext

Hi Jürgen,

You may also define a command like (or a shorter name…)

\define[1]\sanskrit{\start\language[sa]#1\stop}

which allows you to say for instance

\sanskrit{yoga}

Just for the record, the following language short command and start stop
are defined for most languages (\it and \fi are already taken by TeX
[italics and conditional final command]):

  {\sa yoga}

  \startlanguage[sa]
  yoga
  \stoplanguage

Just in case it might help,

Pablo
