Upright greek with Fourier

Upright greek with Fourier

[Sebastian Sturm]

Hi,

I'm using the Fourier Utopia Fonts together with the latest stable 
i-Installer ConTeXt package. I'd like to access Fourier's upright greek 
alphabet, especially the large omega. However, the font including that 
character doesn't seem to be used in math-fou.tex. I tried all 
characters of mi (standard math) as well as many characters of sy and 
the ex one (using \definemathsymbol [otheromega] [ord] [...] [...]). I 
guess I'd have to define a font synonym pointing to the right font 
file, but my attempts didn't
produce anything but garbage. At the moment I'm using 
\getglyph{fourier-ml}{173}, which is stupid but functional.

So, can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

I'm not a big fourier user, but the key is with the definition of
"Fourier-Math-Letters-Italic". Hans uses futmii as the default, and you
want to use futmi. (try \showfont[futmii] \showfont[futmi] to see the
difference!)

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a quick hack to override Fourier-Math-
Letters-Italic using the pre-existing typescripts, so attached is a new
typescript file, to be used like:

\usetypescriptfile[type-fup]
\usetypescript[fourier-upright][ec]
\setupbodyfont[fourier-upright]
\starttext
\showmathcharacters
\stoptext

[If you wanted to use upright capital greek letters and italic greek
miniscules, then that would mean assigning a fifth math font and writing
a new math-fou variant.]

Hope that helps!

Wow, that was quick. Thanks alot for the typescript; combining upright  
greek capitals and the italic miniscules is exactly what I want; I  
think I should now be able to do that  using the script as a starting  
point.

Thanks again!
Sebastian
