How do I get the text > calligraphic fonts, using \definefont? The virtue of the Context system of font specification lies in the ability to change sizes with \tfb, \tfx etc. For a single size used for e.g, title page I use a regular TeX \font statement. For example after I fought through the AGaramond problem for body fonts, with great help from this list, I still retained some additional special statements like: \font\MySans uhvbo8r at 30pt \font\BigSans uhvb8r at 30pt \font\MedSans uhvb8r at 20pt etc. This is a bit tedious but pretty much mistake proof. And the call for each variant is simple. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com
