I downloaded the new Fonts chapter but it goes deep into the weeds on typescripts etc. I am looking for a method that allows me to do in Context what I can already do in most other DTP programs: simply designate for use a font or font family that exists in /usr/share/fonts without typescripts, complex and confusing aliasing schemes or tfm files. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/4055.html Typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/ ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
