Fonts switching and styles ..

Fonts switching and styles ..

[Dirar BOUGATEF]

Hi all,

I am working to setup styles in heads with the typeface karat, that i define 
as follows:

\starttypescript [karat]
  \definetypeface [karat] [ss] [sans] [karat] [default] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript

Here is my head definition:

\setuphead[part]
		  [align=left,
		   page=right,
		   placehead=yes,
		   style=???????,
		   before={\hbox{}\vfill},
		   after={\vfill},
		   command=\MyPart]

Question: what command should i use to define this head to use the karat 
typeface above as its style ?

Thanks for any help.

Dirar.

...,style={\switchtobodyfont[karat]\bfc},...

or, when no math is used,

\setupbodyfont[karat]

\definefont[MyPartFont][SansBold at 24pt]
\setuphead[part][style=\MyPartFont]

you could also add more faces to:

\starttypescript [karat]
  \definetypeface [gold]  [rm] [serif][gold]  [default] [encoding=texnansi]
  \definetypeface [karat] [ss] [sans] [karat] [default] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript

and then (say that the body font is rm (gold)), do

\setuphead[part][style=\ss\bfd]

etc etc

Re: Fonts switching and styles ..

[Dirar BOUGATEF]

I have tried style={\switchtobodyfont[karat]} and it works. Now how to 
switch to a different size without going through:

\setupbodyfont[karat]
\definefont[MyPartFont][SansBold at 24pt]
\setuphead[part][style=\MyPartFont]

The problem i see here is that i have to go through \setupbodyfont[karat] 
and that i can't say something like:

\definefont[MyPartFont][karat at 24pt]

Lets say i have 5 fonts in my document i only want to say 
\setupbodyfont[MyMainFont] once, then i should have other mecanisms for 
switching properly to other fonts at different sizes.
Why does \definefont maps only from Sans, Serif, SansBold etc. ? This is 
quit fastidious, cause for this to work we have to use \setupbodyfont first 
and follow the steps above.

I may be missing something out there ..

Many thanks.

Dirar.

you can do things like:

\usetypescript [sans][karat][map,name]

to load the appropriate defs

actually you can, goven that karat is known

Serif SerifBold Sans SansItalic
Karat KaratBold (or maybe Karat-Bold) texnansi-karat

are all valid in a \definefont

i have tried this, and leads to:

bodyfont       : unknown variant MyFont

\usetypescriptfile[karat-type]
\usetypescript[karat]

\usetypescriptfile[opulent-type]
\usetypescript[opulent]

\usetypescript [sans][karat][map,name]
\definefont[MyFont][karat]

\starttext
\switchtobodyfont[karat]
Madame, Monsieur

\switchtobodyfont[opulent]
Madame, Monsieur

\switchtobodyfont[MyFont]
Madame, Monsieur
\stoptext

Re: Fonts switching and styles ..

[Willi Egger]

Hi Dirar,

I is not enough to give the commands which typescripts/files to use, you 
must setup first a bodyfont and then switch to other fonts

Re: Fonts switching and styles ..

[Dirar BOUGATEF]

Hi Willy,

What i need is to have a synonym for the font Dirar you defined, how do i 
have to proceed? I have tried the following: (Am gonna use my fonts names as 
i started the subject with)

\starttypescript [karat]
  \definetypeface [karat] [ss] [sans] [karat] [default] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript

\usetypescriptfile[karat-type]
\usetypescript[karat]

\definebodyfont[MyFont][karat]

\starttext
\switchtobodyfont[MyFont]
\stoptext

This leads to the error:

bodyfont       : unknown variant MyFont

Do you see any problem here ?

Many thanks.

Dirar.

Re: Fonts switching and styles ..

[Willi Egger]

Hi Dirar,

What you have is apparently different already defined typefaces.
So use switchtoypeface to change from karat to opulent.
Then switchtobodyfont[karat,12pt] or whatever.

You can not use the command definebodyfont in the way you do. For 
details for this command please refer to the manual mfonts.pdf

  I believe \definebodyfont[MyFont][karat] should be 
\definefontsynonym[MyFont][karat], which should allow 
\switchtobodyfont[MyFont], but you may also be looking for 
\definefont[MyFont][karat], which defines \MyFont.

Re: Fonts switching and styles ..

[Dirar BOUGATEF]

Thanks Christopher, i have tried what you asked me but this didn't solve the 
problem. To me it was the right thing to do, but it looks like it is because 
my font is defined as a typeface collection that it does not work.

I have tried \switchtotypeface instead as Willie said and this works fine.

Now, i don't know where you got this command from, Willie (Thanks by the way 
:) ), cause it is nowhere in mfonts.pdf nor in cont-eni.pdf.

Am really confused about the proper way to configure my fonts and use them, 
i know some trickeries but am not sure about the right way to do things.

Question:

>From mfonts.pdf, it looks like there are 2 ways of configuring fonts after 
they are installed (page 9).

1. As a whole.
2. As a typeface collection.

In my understanding, when a font is defined as a whole, you can use the 
following commands to play with your font:

1. \setupbodyfont
2. \definebodyfont

3. \setupfontsynonym
4. \definefontsynonym

5. \switchtobodyfont


When it is defined as a collection of typefaces you have to use:

1. \definetypeface
2. \switchtotypeface

Now, when to use each one is a mystery.

Could anyone explain a bit more ?

Thanks.

Problem with index generation

[Matthias Weber]

Hello all,

'upgrading' to the 2004 TeXLive distribution (via GW's  i-Installer)  
broke the following (which is
a distilled version of a much larger file)

\startproject test
\startbodymatter

\section{Why is $1+1=2$?}

Let us first discuss {\em addition\index{addition}}.

\stopbodymatter

\startbackmatter
\completeindex

\stopbackmatter
\stopproject

Commenting out \completeindex makes the file TeXable, but, of course,  
without index.
It don't get an error message but TeXshop 'stalls' with the following  
log:

Re: How to patch ConText on the Mac for beginners (was: Problem with index generation)

[Matthias Weber]

Thanks, Hans, this works!

I have to admit reading Hans'  instruction "... and reformat"
gave me the shivers. Fortunately I found an almost terminal-free
way to do it on a Mac, I record it here for others who are faint of 
heart
like myself.

i) Locate the file you need to modify. This is easiest done by typing
locate filename
in a terminal window, and pasting the located directory path into the 
finder
menu box you get under Go...Go To Folder.
This only works if the locate database is up to date, it can be updated 
(for instance)
using MacJanitor which freely executes maintenance routines that never 
happen
on those Macs that are asleep at night.
ii) Open the located file with TeXShop (for instance), modify it at 
will, and save.
This might not work due to missing permissions. In this case, save to 
the desktop first and copy
into the located directory. You'll be asked for authentication.
iii) Start GW's i-Installer,  go to i-Package... open..., and select 
ConTeXt. Then, select configure
only (do not download!), and ignore the warning. i-Installer will then 
perform all the secret
things to reformat ConTeXt.

iv) If something went wrong, use the i-Installer to download and 
configure ConTeXt again.

Index and publication list conflict

[Matthias Weber]

Hello all,

I might be the only one, but I wanted the index before the 
bibliography, so
my backmatter looks like:

\startbackmatter
\completeindex
\completepublications
\stopbackmatter

which results in the log (excerpt)

title          : - \headtext {pubs}
(./cxmf.tuo)
system         : pubs not found/processed

When I conform and use

\startbackmatter
\completepublications
\completeindex
\stopbackmatter

everything is fine, up to the order. ( TeXLive 2004 only)

Matthias

Weird, really weird. Have you tried the 

	\setuppublicationlist[criterium=all]

that seems to be needed these days?

Greetings, Taco
