Textfont in math-formulas?

Textfont in math-formulas?

[Kai Straube]

Hi There,

I have a little problem with fonts in my document. I use the cm sans serif 
font in my text and want to have this in the tex-formulas to, but it worked 
not for me.
Simple example:

\enableregime[utf]
\setupoutput[pdf]
\mainlanguage[de]
\language[de]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\setupbodyfont[ss]

\starttext
Some text, we can read it without serifs. But the formula: $ \frac{1}{x-2} $ 
is not in the same font.
\stoptext

BTW is there another way to have units like g/(cm^3) as to set them as 
tex-formula. I dont no if the module units do such things.

Thanks,

Kai

Yes, it does. Some examples are given in the beginners' manual and in
the module documentation you can produce with texexec --module
m-units.tex

you can omit \language since you've already set the main language (after that 
language is used for local language switching)

for that you need a ss math font; in the simple case it could be made to work 
but since in math characters can come from any of the (about) 4 math fonts you 
would get inconsistent output. So, if you want to gamble, you may try this:

% define a typeface

\definetypeface [modern] [rm] [serif] [modern-base] [default]
\definetypeface [modern] [ss] [sans]  [modern-base] [default]
\definetypeface [modern] [tt] [mono]  [modern-base] [default]
\definetypeface [modern] [mm] [math]  [modern-base] [default]

% overloaad a mapping

% \startfontclass[modern]
%   \definefontsynonym [ComputerModernMath-Roman]  [ComputerModernSans]
%   \definefontsynonym [ComputerModernMath-Italic] [ComputerModernSans-Italic]
% \stopfontclass

\startfontclass[modern]
   \definefontsynonym [MathRoman]  [Sans]
   \definefontsynonym [MathItalic] [SansItalic]
\stopfontclass

% initialize the typeface

\setupbodyfont[modern,ss]

\starttext
Some text, we can read it without serifs. But the formula: $ \frac{1}{x-2} $
is not in the same font.
\stoptext

you can put this in one of the dark corners of the wiki -)
