Fonts in Metapost

Fonts in Metapost

[Wolfgang Zillig]

Hello,

I have problems with changeing the font in Metapost. I defined my own 
typescripts somewhere and I also have a mapfile for that fonts. In 
normal text it workes fine (even math).

Now I want to change the font in MP as well (my text is included as 
label("test",(200,200));):

%normal stups:
     \loadmapfile[cmbright.map] %it seems that the mapfile is loaded 
only once
     \usetypescriptfile[type-cmbr]
     \usetypescript[Cmbr]
      \setupbodyfont[12pt]

\startMPenvironment
     \loadmapfile[cmbright.map] %it seems that the mapfile is loaded 
only once
     \usetypescriptfile[type-cmbr]
     \usetypescript[Cmbr]
      \setupbodyfont[12pt]
\stopMPenvironment

But I always get the standard CMR output.

Did I miss a step somewhere?

Has anyone an idea what's going wrong?

Thanks for any help!

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

I do hope  that I am not missing something. But I think, that you should 
say in the  MPenvironment:
\setupbodyfont[Cmbr,12pt]

Otherwise the setupbodyfont command does not know which font to setup.

Re: Fonts in Metapost

[Wolfgang Zillig]

Hello all,

finaly I solved my problem: I had my metapost graphic in an external 
file and used it with:

\startuseMPgraphic{test}
\input mp.mp ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPgraphic{test}

or

\startbuffer[test1]
\input mp.mp
\stopbuffer

\processMPbuffer[test1,graphic]

in both cases I get the graphic but the font switching does not work. 
When I copy the content of my graphic file into "\startuseMPgraphic 
\stopuseMPgraphic" or "\startbuffer \stopbuffer" I works. Is there an 
explanation for this behaviour? I thought \input would be equal to 
typing it directly.

What is the best way to handle multiple graphics when I want to use the 
font switching mechanismn? Any advice?

Thanks alot
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

usually I compile the MetaPost fiures into a pdf. I refer to the 
pictures then by \externalfigure[metapost-pdf][page=1] or similar.

Hi Wolfgang,

I reread your mail, I am not sure, whether I understood your message 
correctly. therefore here what I usually do:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\useMPlibrary[clp,txt]

\startMPenvironment
     \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi]
     \switchtobodyfont[palatino,rm,10pt]
\stopMPenvironment

\startMPinclusions
     drawpathoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1.5 withcolor .8white) ;
     drawpointoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 2.5 withcolor red) ;
     drawcontroloptions(withpen pencircle scaled 1 withcolor blue) ;
     drawlineoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1.2 withcolor black) ;
     drawlabeloptions () ;
     swappointlabels := true ;
     numeric u; u := 0.5mm ;
\stopMPinclusions

\setupcolors[state=start]

\startuniqueMPgraphic{1}
	mp code
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\startuniqueMPgraphic{2}
	mp code
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\startuniqueMPgraphic{2}
	mp code
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\starttext

\dorecurse{3}{%
     \startTEXpage
         \useMPgraphic{\recurselevel}
     \stopTEXpage}
\stoptext

Re: Fonts in Metapost

[Wolfgang Zillig]

Hello all,

the last suggestion I made was wrong, to change the font I need (somehow 
strange) the following code:

\loadmapfile[mymap.map]
\usetypescriptfile[type-cmbr]
\usetypescript[Cmbr]

\startMPenvironment[global]
\input type-cmbr
\usetypescript[Cmbr]
\switchtobodyfont[Cmbr,12pt]
\stopMPenvironment
....

I don't know what I did, that in my typescriptfile that I have 
explicitely to include it.

can you explain for what the command \useMPlibrary[] is?


Thanks,

Hi Wolfgang,

The MPlibraries are part of the metafun-suite.
