Available fonts

[ishamid]

Dear crew,

Is there a list of prepackaged fonts/typescripts that comes with 
(fp/MiK/gw/te)TeX/ConTeXt? I think it is important for that info to be made 
very public. showfonts.pdf has at least some of them (plus a couple of 
non-free ones) but I don't know if this is an exhaustive set. A new ConTeXt 
user (especially one from a non-TeX background) should be able to easily find 
a list of the fonts/typescripts available in a full 
(fp/MiK/gw/te)TeX/ConTeXt system.

If I am totally clueless and missed this info, then I apologize:-)

Best

Not that I know of. The distributions should supply a list of
available fonts.

I agree completely.


I always wanted to start a section "fonts" on contextgarden with
samples and instructions on how to use the supplied fonts.

Hi Idris,

Yes indeed there sould be a file to test the "built-in" fonts.
Recently I was working on that. The file is in the meantime sent to 
Hans, so that he can give me advice how to finalize it.- May be within 
short notice we will have a demo file.

Kind regards

Willi

depends on what is installed ... just look at type-syn and type-enc 

extra fonts may be defined in type-buy and type-ghz and files on the wiki

Dear gang,

Is there a list somewhere of the immediately available fonts in ConTeXt?  
showfont.pdf has a few; is there an updated list of available fonts and  
how to access them?

Best
Idris
