Comical error..

Comical error..

[John Culleton]

I am just starting on a new project and haven't fussed with body
fonts yet. I specified specific fonts for the half and title pages. For
the copyright page thus far I just used the default whatever that is. 
On that page the
lower case "e" came out as a lower case "c" in every instance. 

I do have the following in my macros.tex subfile which I pass on from
job to job:
-------------------------  
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]
\usemodule[simplefonts][size=10pt]
\definefontfeature
  [default]
  [default]
  [protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]
\setupalign[hz,hanging]
-------------------------------------
maybe there is somethng funky there.

Default is Latin Modern.

The simplefonts module is obsolete.
You didn’t \setupbodyfont.

Here is another example from the Wiki
-------------------------------------
 \definefontfamily
        [mainface]
        [rm]
        [TeX Gyre Pagella]
        [it={TeX Gyre Cursor-Italic},
         bf={TeX Gyre Adventor-Bold},
         bi={TeX Gyre Termes-BoldItalic}]

    \setupbodyfontenvironment
        [default]
        [em=italic]

    \setupbodyfont[mainface]
    \starttext
    \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
    Roman font {\em italic}

    \bf Bold font \em bold italic
    \stopTEXpage
    \stoptext
---------------------------------------
and another
--------------------------------------
setupbodyfont[dejavu]

\setupbodyfontenvironment
 [default]
 [smallsized=1.25,
  mediumsized=1.5,
  largesized=2.0]

\definefontsize[smallsized]
\definefontsize[mediumsized]
\definefontsize[largesized]

\starttext

\setuphead[chapter]   [style=\bflargesized]
\setuphead[section]   [style=\bfmediumsized]
\setuphead[subsection][style=\bfsmallsized]

\chapter   {Whatever $x-1$}
\section   {Whatever $x-1$}
\subsection{Whatever $x-1$}

\input ward

Whatever $x-1$
\blank

{\itmediumsized This is italic medium sized. $\cos(x) = {\rm
Re}(\exp({\rm i}x))$}

\blank

{\rmmediumsized This is roman medium sized. \crlf
$\cos(x) = {\rm Re}(\exp({\rm i}x))$}

\stoptext

--------------------------------------
Some questions:
1. Where is the basic size of the font family defined in points?
2. In the second example which of the many Dejavu fonts is assumed to
be the starting point? Is it a ttf or a otf version?
3. Can any font family on the system be used or is there a specific
context list?

All answers appreciated of course :<)

Re question 2. You can have the list of loaded fonts files from the log file produced by context command, nearly the end :

For example from my run :

mkiv lua stats  > loaded fonts: 4 files: dejavusansmono.ttf, ebgaramond12-regular.otf, keteryg-medium.ttf, sblgreek.ttf

From this you can deduce most probably the font file format. 

Please use : 

mtxrun  --script fonts 

To get more information on fonts database context uses.

Hope this helps a bit.
Best

Hi John,

the default font size is 12pt.

As Joseph Canedo explained, the DejaVu font seem to be a TrueType font.

This may be (and I think it is) a font in OpenType format with TrueType
outlines (instead of PostScript outlines).

Any system font (TTF, OTF and PS at least) can be used with ConTeXt.

All that ConTeXt (or LuaTeX) requires is the way to find it. The safest
way is the file name.

Let us know whether you have further questions.

I hope it helps,


Pablo

Thanks to you and Joseph! I am getting back into Context after a long
absence and things are gradually coming back to me. My first new
document is proceeding :<)

The substitution occurred when I viewed the pdf in xpdf but not in
okular. I will report this to the proper(?) authorities.
