The requested font has no files for the 'tf' alternative

The requested font has no files for the 'tf' alternative

[Marco Patzer]

Hi!

I run into a problem using some fonts. Latin Modern is used instead
and ConTeXt displays:

  selectfont > The requested font 'Caecilia LT Std Roman' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.

Example:

\definefontfamily
  [mainface]
  [rm]
  [Caecilia LT Std Roman]
  %% doesn't work, either
  %% [tf=file:CaeciliaLTStd-Roman.otf]

\setupbodyfont [mainface]

\starttext
  %% \definedfont [name:CaeciliaLTStd-Roman] %% this works
  \input knuth
\stoptext

The font is in the database:

  mtxrun -script fonts -list -all caecilia

This happens with other fonts too, not only Caecilia. Some fonts
work, others don't. Couldn't find anything on the list, so I might
be doing something wrong here. What's the issue here?

Some time ago I faced the same problem: I tried to use one of Microsoft
font but it didn't work, the only thing I saw in log was the same
message. I solved the problem by deleting "font cache"
  luatex-cache/context/HASH/fonts
and generating it again
  mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force
(may be with '--force' option you may not delete the "cache" but it
didn't hurt anyway).

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for the response. The same result with the rebuilt cache.

Hi Marco,

how about the following?

   \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Caecilia LT Std-Roman]

What it works is a different font name. And I guess that Roman isn’t
part of the font name, but this is the style.

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

otfinfo -i CaeciliaLTStd-Roman.otf | grep name
Full name:           CaeciliaLTStd-Roman
PostScript name:     CaeciliaLTStd-Roman

\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][CaeciliaLTStd-Roman]

I guess the full name should work. But I’m only guessing.

Sadly it does not.

Re: The requested font has no files for the 'tf' alternative

[Wolfgang Schuster]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3548 bytes --]

Hi Marco,

there is a differenece between the family name of a font (which is used 
by \definefontfamily) and the individual name of a font. The differences 
between both names can be explained with a with a (kind of) real family.

For my example I use the main cast of the Simpsons.


Surname : Simpson

     Grandfather : Abraham Simpson
     Grandmother : Mona Simpson
     Father      : Homer Simpson
     Mother      : Marge Simpson
     Son         : Bart Simpson
     Daughter    : Lisa Simpson


All members of the family use the same surname but each of them has also 
its individual name, the same system can be applied to your font collection.


Family: Caecilia LT Std

     Light       : Caecilia LT Std Light
     Lightitalic : Caecilia LT Std Light Italic
     Regular     : Caecilia LT Std Roman
     Italic      : Caecilia LT Std Italic
     Bold        : Caecilia LT Std Bold
     Bolditalic  : Caecilia LT Std Bold Italic
     Heavy       : Caecilia LT Std Heavy
     Heavyitalic : Caecilia LT Std Heavy Italic


Each font of your collection has its individual name, e.g. the regular 
style has the name “Caecilia LT Std Roman” but all styles use the same 
name for the family (i.e. “Caecilia LT Std”) which is used by 
\definefontfamily.


When you now used a individual name instead of the family name for 
\definefontfamily you should get a message in log for the correct name, 
e.g. the following example

     \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella Regular]

     \setupbodyfont[mainface]

     \starttext
     Font test!
     \stoptext

shows this in the log

     selectfont > The name 'texgyrepagellaregular' is not a proper 
family name, use 'texgyrepagella' instead.
     selectfont > The requested font 'TeX Gyre Pagella Regular' has no 
files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.

which tells you to use “texgyrepagella” for the \definefontfamily command.

Your example works for me. But it's still unclear what I'm doing
wrong. According to your explanation this should work:

  \definefontfamily
    [mainface]
    [rm]
    [Caecilia LT Std]
    [tf=Caecilia LT Std Roman]

However, it shows:

  selectfont > The requested font 'Caecilia LT Std' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.

It appears that ConTeXt somehow can't find the font.

There seem to be serious problems with font detection.

I spent most of yesterday trying to convince ConTeXt to load my font, even from the same directory and even proven candidates like Gentium and Delicious – I get mostly only TeX Gyre Palladio Math :(

While a simple example works:

\usetypescriptfile[type-fiee]
\usetypescript[fiee]
\setupbodyfont[fiee,rm,9.5pt]

\starttext
\input tufte
{\ss \input knuth }
\stoptext

The same code in an environment doesn’t. I tried force-reloading the font database several times, deleting the luatex cache, reverting to an older version - always the same. I’m out of resources now.

Sorry for hijacking the other thread.
While I saw the same error message at some time, I seem to have a different problem.

Thanks to Wolfgang's assistance I figured that the syntax in my OP
was correct and the issue is with my installation. It works for me
in a virgin installation, but throws the abovementioned error in my
current installation.

I don't know what borked my installation and why it only affected
some fonts and not others.

So sorry for the noise and thanks for quick responses.

Marco

How about removing the directory tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/?

I had some problems with fonts and removing it was the way of solving them.

Just in case it helps,

You can remove the font cache with

     mtxrun --script cache --fonts --erase

and the complete cache with

     mtxrun --script cache --erase


The font cache is regenerated with

     mtxrun --script fonts --reload

and the normal cache (which is needed to use context, fonts etc. 
scripts) with

     mtxrun --generate

I don't know if those commands would have helped. Since it doesn't
store any personal information I purged my context installation and
did a reinstall. Now all fonts work.

I tried that (without clearing the cache) before, but to no avail.

Ahoi,

while I found a workaround for my problem, I still don’t understand the cause:

– I defined a family of Gentium and Delicious in a typescript file (as attached in my previous post),
– If I load this in a minimal example, as above, all is well.
– If I load this in an environment, the fonts are ignored. There are no error messages.
– If I change the font size from 9.5pt to any integer size, it works!

Does this ring any bells? What’s wrong with decimal font sizes, and why only in a project setup?

Greetlings, Hraban
