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

You can use the fallback mechanism to use a different font for characters which aren’t available in the main font.
\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [Devanagari MT] [range=devanagari,scale=1.2]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
Danke – धन्यवाद

Hi Harald,
as an alternative to the font proposed by Wolfgang (seems to be only
available for Mac), FreeSerif may be an option
(https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/).
I hope it helps,
Pablo

You forgot the “range” setting for the fallback font which tells context which glyphs should be taken from the font.
\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [Lohit Devanagari] [range=devanagari,scale=1.2]

opps sorry!
I only removed the "range" after my first attempt didn't succeed...
now it's working fine, but only after copying the font to "tex/texmf-local/fonts/truetype/"
and running "context --generate".
thanks!!!
for my first naiive approach with \definefont it was ok/sufficient
to keep the TTF file in the local project's directory.
why is not true for your \definefallbackfamily solution ?
thanks again!!
Harald
