You need the same name for both typefaces.


Are you sure ?

This works though...

This works ow because you load the typeface in the chapter settings
but in your last mail you used only the \myChapter Font without the
default typeface from \setupbodyfont.

Hmmm... I was definitely interpreting this too literally then.

Thanks for your support enabling me to better understand ctx/ltx font
handling and typescripts.

For some obscure reason right fontnames are linked with wrong filenames.
This is the output of
mtxrun --script fonts --list
on my system
[...]
times new roman                        Times New Roman
       Times_New_Roman.ttf (real filename times.ttf)
times new roman bold                   Times New Roman Bold
       Times_New_Roman_Bold.ttf (real filename timesbd.ttf)
and so on...

You must rename the files (tested, it works) or change [name:Times New
Roman] with [file:times] in your typescript (untested)

Hi Diego,

Alans entries for the font names are correct because the files have different
names on Mac with spaces in them.

Understood...
but this issue still exists in Ubuntu with such fonts imported from Windows.
Where mtxrun catches fonts filenames?

Hi Diego,

we are talking about two differents things, what you mean is the filename
of the fonts you could access with [file:...] in typescripts and which is
different on Windows (and all other where the core font packages are used)
and on Mac. The font name is another thing and can be different from the
file name, you could access fonts by font name with [name:...] in MkIV and
this name should (not sure if this is so) be the same on both systems.

Regards,
Wolfgang

That's clear to me, but my question was about the wrong correspondence
between font names and filename.
As I wrote mtxrun --script fonts --lists showed filenames which I
didn't find anywhere, so I thought mtxrun rewrote them.
Repeating the same procedure under FreeBSD all goes right.
Perhaps in my Ubuntu system there is more than one Times New Roman,
Arial..., (even I don't know where they live) and this confused
ConTeXt.
Next time I boot Ubuntu, I'll search in the whole filesystem.
Thanks for the answer and sorry for the noise.

Re: Losing my patience with (understanding) ConTeXt/LuaTeX's font handling... [ re: Whacko font behaviour ? ( Or Am I ? :O) ]

[Charles P. Schaum]

With Ubuntu and fonts there are several things going on.

Generally, the system-wide fonts are kept under /usr/share/fonts

An alternate place could be /usr/local/fonts

That, however, is usually empty because packages put fonts in named
directories, e.g., in the ttf dir in /usr/share/fonts

TeX-related fonts basically sit in the texmf tree, usually
in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts

You can also add your own into /usr/share/texmf/fonts

Or you can put fonts into ~/.fonts and into your (correct me if I err)
~/.texmf-var/fonts

THEN there's defoma, the Debian Font Manager, and I am not sure what
ramifications exist there. There is a way to make things like otf fonts
in your texmf trees visible to defoma, but I have yet to RTFMP, except
to install the cm-super XII package.

I just avoid font miseries by relying mostly on the \font primitive.  
The complexities of creating and using typescripts etc. take too much 
time and too much head scratching. I do use the Texfont utility to 
create the necessary font bits and pieces when I buy a new type 1 
font.  

 All the aliases etc. in Context don't help me much. I simply define 
the needed fonts in the sizes I will use. If I need another size I 
just copy the \font statement, change the font name and change the 
size parameter.   For nimbus bold condensed I end up with fonts named 
numbux nimbuy nimbua etc.  

This is of course not the Context way, but it saves me time and grief. 

I depend on texlive in my Slackware 12.1 distro.   Slack  comes with 
tetex but AFAIK that is no longer updated.  Therefore I don't bother 
to include it when building Slack. I install texlive from the cdr and 
then modify /etc/profile by adding 
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux:
to the PATH= string.  
Thus far the versions of Context (mkii) and pdftex etc. found on 
texlive have been stable and reliable.

Typescript for XeTeX and LuaTeX are written in a few minutes and you
can use all font switches you can't use if you define them with \font.

\setuphead[chapter][style=\myHeadingsFont\myChapterFont]

You have to load 'myHeadingsfont' typescript before you can use
them because they are not available on outer level, only fonts used
as bodyfont can be accesed without this selection.

I found the information to solve your problem in the fonts manual and
you should read it if you need more information.

That works indeed.

Oh, the number of times I read it. One more time a moment ago.

Sooo... the Da Fonti Code is hidden in there. In which section of the manual
did you find the clue ?


In my quest to further understand how this stuff works, I've been testing
the following...

\setuppapersize [A4][A4]

\starttypescript [serif] [mySerifFont]

%\definefont[myChapterFont][Sans sa 1.728]               % defaults to LM

%\setuphead[chapter][style=\myChapterFont]                      % (1)
%\setuphead[chapter][style=\myFonts\myChapterFont]      % (2)
%\setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc\mySansFont]                     % (3) this
works

\starttext

\chapter{chapter test}      % line 57

\section{section test}

text test

\stoptext


Looking for further clues.

You need the same name for both typefaces.

Thanks a lot for your helpful comments Wolfgang.

I will add to my todo list "Write a few lines about font installation
> for XeTeX and LuaTeX and how to use them in style keys".


With the bits and pieces of information ( current and outdated ) about these
matters presently being scattered all over the place, an updated guide will
definitely be very useful for newbies ( and oldies ? ), speeding up their
comprehension and enabling them to focus on what's important, i.e.
productive issues, using ConText with LuaTeX/XeTeX.

Have a great weekend,
Alan
