Hi,
I found this Type-1 Unicode font
http://bibliofile.mc.duke.edu/gww/fonts/Unicode.html
which I would like to use with \ConTeXt.
It consists of:
Caslon (serif font): roman, oblique, bold, black, small-caps (but no
bold-oblique)
Monospace (~courier): roman, oblique, bold [and no-Type-1 bold-oblique]
Cupola (~~~Informal): Roman, italic, bold, bold-italic, small caps
Caliban (~helvetica): Roman(?)
How can I use it best? I'd like to use it as complete replacement for CM
for some documents, since has a lot of nice characterts.
---------------------------
They do not contain
* Any of the CJK characters (ideographs)
* Asian & Indian alphabets and sylabaries
* Arabic
The CaslonRoman font contains (other fonts contain fewer):
* 0000-02a8 Latin & IPA
* 02b0-0361 diacritics
* 0370-03f3 greek
* 0401-04f9 cyrillic
* 0500-050f proposed cyrillic extensions
* 0530-0589 armenian
* 0591-05f4 hebrew
* 0e01-0e5a thai
* 1680-169f ogham (celtic runes)
* 16a0-16df elder fuþark (germanic runes)
* 1e00-1eff more latin
* 1f00-1fff more greek
* 2000-2046 punctuation
* 2070-208e sub/super scripts
* 20a0-20af currency
* 2100-2138 letterlike symbols
* 2153-2182 number forms
* 2190-21ea arrows
* 2200-22f2 mathmatical operators
* 2300-232f (some) misc. technical
* 2400-2424 control pictures
* 2460-24ea (some) enclosed alphanumerics
* 2500-257f box drawing
* 2580-2595 block elements
* 25a0-25ef geometric shapes
* 2600-266f misc symbols
* 3041-309e hiragana
* 30a1-30fe katakana
* fb00-fb06 (some) alphabetic presentation forms (latin ligatures)
I have extended this area slightly. I include:
* fb00 => ff ligature
* fb01 => fi ligature
* fb02 => fl ligature
* fb03 => ffi ligature
* fb04 => ffl ligature
* fb05 => long-s t ligature

* fb09 => long-s l ligature
* fb0a => long-s long-s ligature
* fb0b => long-s long-s i ligature
* fb0c => long-s long-s l ligature
* (and long-s short-s ligature is at 00df)
* fb2a-fb4f (hebrew) alphabetic presentation forms
* fe50-fe6b small form variants
* ff01-ffe6 (some) half/full width forms
* fffd replacement character

A type one font needs to be split into chunks [this is how for instance
chinese is supported] while a truetype can be used as a whole.
You need to make tfm files for each chunk, as well as enc files [lei wang
is an expert on this, he also made some scripts]. If you can sort this out
we can see if we can make this process easy since there are more unicode
fonts around.
there are two ways to proceed:
(1) create standard (say texnansi,ec) subsets,
(2) use uchar mapping, which means something like:
Eumlaut -> uchar{1}{234}
but then we may loose kerning and so,
