To: ntg-context
I'd like to get some Postscript Type1 fonts working with MK IV
(installed via the minimals under Linux). I placed the *.pfb fonts
in ~/.fonts and did:
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=*
...but the output doesn't show any of the *.pfb fonts. The *.ttf fonts
installed alongside them in ~/.fonts do show up, and I can create PDFs
with those ttf fonts using the `context` command, but I'm not sure how
to proceed with the Postscript fonts.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John

But I'm having a heck of a time with another font family. It's a PS Type1 font for Mac, and I've tried all sorts of things in attempting to generate .pfb & .afm files from the original Mac PS Type1 fonts ... fontforge, fondu, type1afm, font2afm ... on the Mac & on my Linux box. But I can't get an afm/pfb combo that works. I've pasted the output of a `context` command below (changed the font name here as I don't think its license allows for converting it). Is it inherently tricky to get Type1 PS Mac fonts working with ConTeXt & luatex on Linux? I'm trying to avoid spending another $300 for some fonts I already purchased but can no longer use (not on a Mac much any more). I was able to use these *.pfb fonts with LaTeX + xetex in the past under Linux. Also, the SabonLT-Roman.afm file that came from Linotype has a section titled "StartKernData", but .afm files generated using type1afm, fontforge, font2afm, etc. have no kerning section. Would using such .afm files cause sub-standard output with regard to kerning? Any suggestions/clarifications much appreciated, John ---- % context test1.tex MTXrun | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/john/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache /context/de...42/formats/cont-en" --lua="/home/john/context/tex/texmf-cache /luatex-cache/context/de...42/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend=pdf "./test1.tex "This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.61.0-2010072816 \write18 enabled.

Is there a matching SomeMacintoshPSfont.pfb ? There is a matching SomeMacintoshPSfont.pfb. The odd name has to do with me replacing the real font name with a made-up name in what I pasted into my email to the list. Maybe that's silly/overly-cautious ... but I think the license for that font doesn't allow converting it from a Mac PS font to a (Win?) PS font, generating afm files from it with type1afm, etc. Anyhow, to re-cap, I did: * go to the iMac & find a font named "SomeMacintoshPSfont" * use Fontforge to generate "SomeMacintoshPSfont.pfb" * use the type1afm utility to generate "SomeMacintoshPSfont.afm" * put these pfb & afm files in the ~/.fonts directory on Linux box * run `mtxrun --generate` * run `mtxrun --script fonts --reload` * view output of `mtxrun --script fonts --list --all` to get names for use in typscript.

FontForge can load mac type1 kerning, see: http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/faq.html#FOND-kern I think after that generating a pfb font will also generate an afm file as well.

If you wish kerning data for a mac postscript font, you must find a font file containing a bitmap font with the same family and style as the postscript." Reading this, I went into the directory of the font in question, found the *.bmap file and ran `fondu -afm` on it. This created afm files for all the fonts in that family, each file including a "StartKernData" section with plenty of kerning data. So I feel closer...at least I know how to create afm files that include kerning data. But unfortunately, I still can't get these fonts to work with ConTeXt. It must have something to do with the font itself, as the SabonLT-Roman.afm and SabonLT-Roman.pfb I placed in the ~/.fonts directory are working fine.

I found that if $HOME/texmf/fonts/data was not explicitly included in the OSFONTDIR environment variable, the fonts in that directory did not show up. Also, I tried a : and trailing // in the path as mentioned in another post, but it made no difference.
