old style numerals

old style numerals

[Idris S Hamid]

Dear fraternity,

With Alan Hoenig's help, I have created virtual fonts for cmr5--cmr12
that make oldstyle numerals the default (cmros*.vf). I am having trouble
fitting them into my cmr setup. Here is my file (there was some bug in
the default ConTeXt setup that messed up font switching so I made my own
that works;->):

=================type-cmr.tex============
%%% Names and synonyms

\starttypescript [roman] [knuth] [name]
\usetypescript [serif,sans,mono,math] [computer-modern] [name,size]
\stoptypescript

%%% Sizes

\starttypescript [roman] [knuth] [size]
\usetypescript   [serif,sans,mono,math] [computer-modern] [size]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [MyCMR]

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

  \definetypeface [mycmr] [rm,ss,tt,mm] [roman] [knuth] [knuth]

\stoptypescript
======================================

I need to adjust the serif settings to get cmros instead of cmr. That
is, I need to replace all the [serif] options with something else. The
typescript following this email should play a role but so far my
attempts to get this working fail. I'll be happy to send the oldstyle
cmr vf's and tfm's to anyone that wants them.

Thnx 4 your help
Idris

Hi Idris,

This sounds like a nice (virtual) font to have.

I'm not sure about your use of \definetypeface, but I did spot a couple
of changes to consider (untested, off the top of my head):

\usetypescript   [serif] [computer-modern-oldstyle] [size]

>\stoptypescript

The last line *should* be all you need to bring your osf into the fold.
The first change was just to make sure we weren't loading the old, non-
osf fonts.

Hope it's a step in the right direction,
adam

I found this in one of my old files:
\defineconversion	[number][\os]
\defineconversion	[numbers][\os]

I remember that not *every* number was converted.

old style numerals

[Idris S Hamid]

Is there a setup that can change the number style of the entire document to 
oldstyle? \os is only a local declaration but is there a document-wide setup?

Best wishes
