Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with bodyfont switching. It involves two
fonts that I adapted myself, so it's difficult to make a minimal
example. Both fonts are defined in typescripts (these are just
examples, it works the same for every typescript I tried).
First one is Adobe Caslon:
\usetypescriptfile[type-buy]
\starttypescript [serif] [caslon] [texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Roman] [texnansi-KERN-LIGA-
DLIG-ONUM-ACaslonPro-Regularnoct] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Bold] [texnansi-KERN-LIGA-
DLIG-ONUM-ACaslonPro-Boldnoct] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Italic] [texnansi-KERN-LIGA-
DLIG-ONUM-ACaslonPro-Italicnoct] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Bold-Italic] [texnansi-KERN-LIGA-
DLIG-ONUM-ACaslonPro-BoldItalicnoct] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Roman-SmallCaps][texnansi-KERN-SMCP-
LNUM-ACaslonPro-Regular] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Caslon-Roman-OSF] [texnansi-KERN-SMCP-
LNUM-ACaslonPro-Regular] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [serif] [caslon] [name]
\usetypescript[serif][fallback]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [Caslon-Roman]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Caslon-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Caslon-Bold]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Caslon-Bold-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [Caslon-Roman-SmallCaps]
\definefontsynonym [OldStyle] [Caslon-Roman-OSF]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [Caslon]
\definetypeface [MyCaslon] [rm] [serif] [caslon] [default]
[encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
Second one is one of my Greek fonts (doesn't matter which one):
\starttypescript [serif] [greekgentium] [agr]
\definefontsynonym [Greekgentium-Roman] [genagr-GentiumAlt]
[encoding=agr]
\definefontsynonym [Greekgentium-Italic][genagr-GentiumAItI]
[encoding=agr]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [serif] [greekgentium] [name]
\usetypescript[serif][fallback]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [Greekgentium-Roman]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Greekgentium-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Serif]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Serif]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[GreekGentium]
\definetypeface [MyGreekGentium] [rm] [serif] [greekgentium]
[default] [rscale=\getvariable{Greek}{scale},encoding=agr]
\stoptypescript
The fonts are used thus:
\setupbodyfont[MyCaslon,12pt]
\switchtobodyfont[MyGreekGentium]
Switching works when I set the bodyfont size to 9,10,11,12pt, but not
if it is set to any other value. In that case, I get these messages
in the log file
Missing character: There is no a in font nullfont!
Missing character: There is no > in font nullfont!
Missing character: There is no u in font nullfont!
Missing character: There is no t in font nullfont!
Missing character: There is no o in font nullfont!
etc.
I must be missing something obvious about typefiles, but can't see
what? Any help will be appreciated.
All best
Thomas

Schmitz @ 2005-10-25 20:54 UTC (permalink / raw) OK, I solved my immediate problem by adding this in my typescript: \definebodyfont [30pt,25pt,20pt,18pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt, 4pt] [rm] [default] but is there any simpler means of doing this, is there a keyword like "all" to define bodyfonts for every imaginable size?

No, it does the same for every letter after the fontswitch, that makes for a pretty long logfile, and I just included the first few lines.

Schmitz @ 2005-11-09 12:30 UTC (permalink / raw) This was partially solved. If I add the bodyfontsize explicitly \definebodyfont [30pt,25pt,20pt,18pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt, 4pt] [rm] [default] I don't get these errors, and the files compile fine. But since its for my module, I still have a problem: what if the customer sets bizarre sizes like 10.25pt? So my question was: is it possible to have a blanket definition like [all] vel. sim. to be covered for all cases? And thanks for the hint to add math; will do that for every typescript.
