\switchtobodyfont[cmr] in Gamma

\switchtobodyfont[cmr] in Gamma

[Idris S Hamid]

Dear team,
I sent a similar question before but got no response. Hopefully I'll get 
better luck this time;->

In Gamma (and perhaps in regular ConTeXt as well but I have no other fonts to 
test there) \setupbodyfont[cmr] does not seem to work/behaves strangely:

-------------cm-test.tex--------------
\input m-gamma.tex
\input type-omg.tex

\setupbodyfont[cmr,14pt]
%\setupbodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test

\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]
%\switchtobodyfont[cmr,14pt]

This is a test

\switchtobodyfont[cmr, 14pt]
%\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test
     
\stoptext
---------------------------

Results:

First line in cmr14, second line in omlgc14.4 (OK so far)

Third line in omlgc14 (This is wrong!)

Now lets switch things:

-------------------------------
\input m-gamma.tex
\input type-omg.tex

%\setupbodyfont[cmr,14pt]
\setupbodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test

%\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]
\switchtobodyfont[cmr,14pt]

This is a test

%\switchtobodyfont[cmr, 14pt]
\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test
     
\stoptext
-------------------------------

Results:

First line in omlgc14.4 (OK so far)

Second line in omlgc14 (instead of cmr14)

Third line in omlgc14.4 (OK)

As u can see, \switchtobodyfont[cmr]  does not seem to work. Am I doing 
something wrong or is something else afoot? Note that I have not called any 
ocp lists so it's not an ocp interference.

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes
Idris

I have no idea if this is at all relevant, but:

(1) shouldn't m-gamma be loaded by \usemodule[gamma] ? (This will
unlikely change things at all)

(2) if I recall correctly, the best way to set up new typescript
files is by use of

\usetypescriptfile[type-omg]

This *might* help.

(And no, I didn't run either your tests nor those with the
correction)

Did some testings. The bug is also present with pdfeTeX, using
pos,berry and cmr. Seems to work fine if you remove the size
specifications, though. Hope this helps Hans tracing the bug.

Good to know that it's a bug and not all my fault;->

Anyway, removing the size specifications does not help me:

-------------cm-test-------------
\input m-gamma.tex
\input type-omg.tex

\setupbodyfont[cmr]
%\setupbodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test 

\switchtobodyfont[omlgc]
%\switchtobodyfont[cmr]

This is a test

\switchtobodyfont[cmr]
%\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test  %% This STILL comes out as omlgc!!

in my type-omg i see no omlgc defined, so \setupbodyfont[cmr,14pt]

\setupbodyfont[cmr, 14pt]        This is a test \fontname\font \par
\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt] This is a test \fontname\font \par
\switchtobodyfont[cmr, 14pt]     This is a test \fontname\font \par

gives me expected behavior.

When mixing fonts, esp with similar names, and esp in an ungrouped way, 
it's best to use the typeface mechanism, since it provides a namespace, 
while the less clever mechanism overloads definitions (keep in mind that 
there are some limitations to the amount of fonts and memory, so there are 
some trade off's)

this is probably because you now have Serif redefined to an oml font, and 
since you don't use grouping, there is no way that tex can go back to the 
already lost definitions (that is: in typefaces we use a namespace, so 
there it's no problem).

you may try (1) grouping or (2) \switchtobodyfont[reset] in between, but 
mixing fonts this way (not using typefaces) can be painfully slow

I never managed to get typeface working correctly, other than
defining things similarly to type-pre and using those with
\switchbodyfont. Is there any documentation on how to *use*
typefaces (not *define* them)?

Actually I had tried that, but without specifying the encoding ...

Ok, now it seems to work: I also added [berry][ec] to ensure
berry-names, and now I have a problem ... it attempts to use the
txr font; can I prevent a font switch for math mode, since I'm not

see type-exa:

or make an alternative typescript

Has anyone figured out how to painlessly switch from omlgc (or any other font) 
to cmr? I don't want to have to write an entirely new typescript for cmr! The 
fact that I can switch from my private fonts to omlgc and back but not to cmr 
is really fishy:-)

*** Strangely, fpTeX (with the same cnf values as teTeX) does not usually 
complain about exceeded capacity, in contrast to teTeX. I'll test this 
particular case as well shortly.

Eh? The following is at the end of the official tpe-omg.tex:

------------------------------
\starttypescript [OmegaLGC]

  \definebodyfontenvironment
    [omlgc]
    [default]
    [interlinespace=2.8ex]

  \definetypeface [omlgc] [rm] [serif] [omega] [omega]
  \definetypeface [omlgc] [tt] [mono] [omega] [omega]

\stoptypescript
-----------------------------------

and \switchtobodyfont[omlgc] is used throughout m-gamma.tex. 
And it works:-)

Are you sure? I get 

This is a test omlgc at 14.0pt

in omlgc of course. 

Are you sure there's not a bug somewhere else? I have my own private fonts

\definetypeface [mtnaskh] [rm] [naskh] [mtnaskhi] [mtnaskhi] [rscale=1.6]

and when I do a switch to omlgc it works fine.  I always enclose omlgc in its 
own group as well. But when I switch to cmr in its own group it does not work 
at all.

I bet that if I replaced all the fonts in type-omg.tex with cmr it would work 
with no problem. There must be something else afoot.

I will study the xchange between u and Giuseppe and see if I can make sense of 
this. Stay tuned.

Re: \switchtobodyfont[cmr] in Gamma

[Matthew Huggett]

Hi  Dr. Hamid:

I managed to recreate your problem by switching between lucida and cmr in
regular context.  I think you have erred in calling \switchtobodyfont[cmr] .
If you haven't mapped another font to "rm", try
 \switchtobodyfont[rm] .  This should give you cmr by default.
Best wishes,

Matthew Huggett

Dear team,
I sent a similar question before but got no response. Hopefully I'll get
better luck this time;->

In Gamma (and perhaps in regular ConTeXt as well but I have no other fonts
to
test there) \setupbodyfont[cmr] does not seem to work/behaves strangely:

-------------cm-test.tex--------------
\input m-gamma.tex
\input type-omg.tex

\setupbodyfont[cmr,14pt]
%\setupbodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test

\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]
%\switchtobodyfont[cmr,14pt]

This is a test

\switchtobodyfont[cmr, 14pt]
%\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test

\stoptext
---------------------------

Results:

First line in cmr14, second line in omlgc14.4 (OK so far)

Third line in omlgc14 (This is wrong!)

Now lets switch things:

-------------------------------
\input m-gamma.tex
\input type-omg.tex

%\setupbodyfont[cmr,14pt]
\setupbodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test

%\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]
\switchtobodyfont[cmr,14pt]

This is a test

%\switchtobodyfont[cmr, 14pt]
\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt]

This is a test

\stoptext
-------------------------------

Results:

First line in omlgc14.4 (OK so far)

Second line in omlgc14 (instead of cmr14)

Third line in omlgc14.4 (OK)

As u can see, \switchtobodyfont[cmr]  does not seem to work. Am I doing
something wrong or is something else afoot? Note that I have not called any
ocp lists so it's not an ocp interference.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Matt!

Thnx for the advice. It still does not work though.  I'm going to work on this 
today and see if I can find something.

Now the following file works, also for the commented scenario!

-------------cm-test.tex------------------
\input m-gamma.tex
\input type-omg.tex
\input type-cmr.tex

\usetypescriptfile[type-cmr]
\usetypescript[MyCMR]
%\setupbodyfont[mycmr,14pt]
\setupbodyfont[omlgc,14.4pt]

\starttext

This is a test 

%\switchtobodyfont[omlgc,14.4pt]
\switchtobodyfont[mycmr,14pt]

This is a test 

%\switchtobodyfont[mycmr,14pt]
\switchtobodyfont[omlgc,14.4pt]

This is a test 
------------------------------------------------

So now I'm sure that there's something wrong with the default setup:->

Question: why do I get the following warnings and how can I get rid of them?

systems        : begin file cm-test at line 10
bodyfont       : bodyfont 9.7pt is defined (can better be done global)
bodyfont       : bodyfont 9.7pt is defined (can better be done global)

bodyfont       : bodyfont 14pt is defined (can better be done global)

systems        : end file cm-test at line 24

Question: ConTeXt takes a long time to load all the font info. 

Can I suppress this info? 
Is there a way to speed things up?

About Omega, I changed ConTeXt's values in texmf.cnf:
string_vacancies.context =  180000
max_strings.context      =  200000

Question: why does every TeX-variant in the book have a full array of config 
values except for Omega, which only has ocp values?

Please amend this if I have left anything out. I'm still curious as to why the 
default cmr setup does not work.
