Subject: (hindi) font questions
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2015 23:47:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150408214749.GA22068@hl.fritz.box> (raw)

Hi,

I'd like to type set a single hindi/devanagari word in a chapter heading (using standalone MkVI),
where I need your help for some questions/problems:

- which (free) font do you suggest ?  right now I'm using "Lohit-Devanagari". 
  text font is 11pt Palatino, Lohit doesn't match too good, and a bold version
  would be nice for the chapter head.

- font size: how do I define this font to get automatic/matching font sizes
  for both the chapter head and the title of contents ?

right now I use

      \definefont [hindib] [Lohit-Devanagari at 24pt]
      ...
      \mychapter{Danke -- {\hindib  धन्यवाद}}

which gives a reaosonable font size for the chapter title,
but of course that's way too large for the TOC:-(


what's the right way to define a "scalable" single font (or two, if you have a suggestion
for a normal+bold devanagari font) in ConTeXt ?
  

thanks,

Harald
