Subject: Some things I don't understand about typescripts...
Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 13:08:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <33BAB34E-1DC8-4F25-AD0C-1049AEA329B3@uni-bonn.de> (raw)
Christmas is approaching, and I hate to be a pest this time of the
year, but there's this problem that really bothers me: I'm still
working hard to release version 2 of my Greek module on the
unsuspecting masses. It will define all fonts in a typescript instead
of as single fonts to allow switches like {\em } etc. It appears that
the typescript mechanism creates some problems. The most serious one
for me is that it seems to demand a full list of sizes that can be
used in this form:
\definebodyfont
[30pt,25pt,20pt,18pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,14pt,12pt,11pt,11.5pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,
7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt]
[rm]
[default]
If I specify a bodyfont with a size that's not in this list
\setupbodyfont[somebodyfont,19.7pt]
I get no errors, but no output either :-( If I add 19.7pt to the
list, everything works again. Is there an explanation for this behavior?
It also looks like I should define a math font for these Greek fonts.
It looks like ConTeXt will try to get certain symbols from math if
they're not defined in the bodyfont. Is there a syntax for creating a
default math font for an entire set of typescripts? I tried this
\starttypescript
\definetypeface [all] [mm] [math] [times] [default]
[encoding=default]
\starttypescript
but it doesn't seem to work, if a symbol like \textdoublebracketleft
is used, compilation will fail with this error:
! Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts.
\mathematics #1->\relax \ifmmode #1\else $#1$
\fi
\doutfunihashglyph ...#1\endcsname {#2}\endcsname
\else
\strippedcsname \uni...
Any suggestions would be welcome; apart from these problems, I'm
basically done with the work.
All best
Thomas
