RE: Re: Installing a new font.

[Dirar BOUGATEF]

I have tried the three of your propositions:

First : keeping sans:

1. using \ss works
2. \definebodyfont[ss,Karat] does not.

Second : changing from sans

3. Changed all refs to "sans" into "serif" in my typescript file karat.tex. 
This works too.

Now, my font is a sans. What is the best way to configure it ?

Is Context configured to use serif by default when u type any text ?

Many thanks.

Dirar.

Hello,

That are good news!

> 2. \definebodyfont[ss,Karat] does not.

did you try \setupbodyfont[ss,Karat] or \setupbodyfont[Karat,sans] or
\setupbodyfont [sans]?

OK, if your font is a sans serif, then renaming makes no sense here.

> Is Context configured to use serif by default when u type any text ?

yes

> Many thanks.

you're welcome.

good.

return the values back to sans.

There was a typo in your original typeface definition:
>\starttypescript [Karat]
>  \definetypeface [Karat] [rm] [sans] [karat] [default] [encoding=texnansi]
>%                          ^^
>\stoptypescript

should be:

\starttypescript [Karat]
  \definetypeface [Karat] [ss] [sans] [karat] [default] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript


>Is Context configured to use serif by default when u type any text ?

Yes, it's a reasonable default. 

\definebodyfont[ss,Karat] should work now, though!

Got it by the end. I had to uncomment the line that includes the use of 
Type-buy which includes the fallback typescript.

Thanks to you all guys, you've made a happy man.

Great, this works.

It's a bit more clear now. There is still one problem. I use the sans 
fallback in my typescript as follows, so that every alternative such as 
italic etc .. is mapped to my regular font (I have only one font file for 
the moment). Why do i get cmr italic instead of regular karat when i use \it 
for instance, or \bf etc. ?



% This is Karat.tex

\loadmapfile[texnansi-rubicon-karatmedium.map]

\starttypescript [sans][karat][texnansi]
  \definefontsynonym [karat-sans][texnansi-KAMN][encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [sans][karat][name]
  \usetypescript[sans][fallback]
  \definefontsynonym [Sans][karat-sans]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [karat]
  \definetypeface [karat] [ss] [sans] [karat] [default] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript



Normally within the following example, i should get a text that is all 
written in regular karat(Well, probably not for \em !).



\usetypescriptfile[Karat.tex]
\usetypescript[karat]
\setupbodyfont[karat]

\starttext
This is Karat roman, {\it italic,} {\bf bold,} and {\bi bold-italic.}

\ss Hello world

{\em \bf This is also bold-italic.}

We have {\sc small caps} and old-style figures: {\os 0123456789}.
\stoptext



Thanks again.

Dirar.
