Re: how to use Times Roman font

[Sytse Knypstra]

On 2005-03-20 and 2005-03-21 there was a thread on this list about using 
the Times Roman font under the CONTEXT distribution for Windows.

I'm running into similar problems (also with the Bookman and Lucida 
bright fonts) and I am curious whether the problem was solved and how.

probably a map file problem (make sure that your local cont-sys.tex file is up-to-date i.e. compare it to cont-sys.rme)

How to use Lucida bright font after installing mswintex

[Sytse Knypstra]

Dear ConTeXt users,

Last Friday I installed the minimal ConTeXt under Windows XP and tried 
also to make the lucida bright font available. I carried out the 
following recipe:

1. Download the latest mswintex.zip from Pragma
2. Unzip into C:\  (all files and directories are now under C:\tex)
3. Start a CMD shell and run the commands:
    > cd c:\tex
    > setuptex.bat
    > mktexlsr
    > texexec --make --alone nl en metafun
4. Copy all 139 lucida related .afm and .pfb files to c:\temp
5. From this directory run:
    > texfont --fontroot=c:/tex/texmf-local --ve=yandy --co=lbr --ma --in
6. Add \loadmapfile[context-base] to cont-sys.tex

In TeXnicCenter I edited test files and ran the command
    c:\tex\setuptex.bat & texexec
with the arguments
    --bat --nonstop --pdf --color "%bm"

All went well and a test file using e.g. the bookman font produced the 
desired result. But trying to use the lucida bright font gave the error:
  ! Font \*lucida6ptmmmi*:=lbmo at 6.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file 
not foud.
The error occurred after the following three lines:
    \loadmapfile[texnansi-yandy-lbr.map]
    \gebruiktypescript[lucida][texnansi]
    \switchtotypeface[lucida][11pt]

Any help is highly appreciated.

Re: How to use Lucida bright font after installing mswintex

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hai Sytse,

It looks like your new installation is conflicting with the old
(pre-texfont / pre-typescripts) support for Lucida Bright.

type-buy.tex in the ConTeXt distribution already contains a
typescript named "lucida", and that typescript maps straight
to "lbmo.tfm", but TeXfont probably created "texnansi-lbmo.tfm"
and a new typescript called "lbr" that uses those metrics.

So I guess you should try

   \usetypescript[lbr][texnansi]
   \switchtobodyfont[lbr,11pt]

instead of

>    \gebruiktypescript[lucida][texnansi]
>    \switchtotypeface[lucida][11pt]

and see where that leads you.

Succes, Taco

Thank you, Taco, now it works ok.

Hello Stefano,

on live.contextgarden.net, this works:

\setupencoding[default=ec]

\usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]
\starttext
\showfontstrip
\showbodyfont[times]

I wonder why. Which fonts are substituted? What is your input file?

not really, they try to adapt themselves invisible

normally this is no problem, i run old and new versions alongside; teh biggest 
change in the latest pdftex is that the locations of the enc/map files have 
changed (not context related, more tds/texmf); context never used the pdftex cfg 
file so no problems should be expected there

for the transition to latim modern one indeed needs latin modern fonts (zip on 
our website); making this change has to happen anyway; also, when one uses latin 
modern as well as context pattern files; one can use more font encodings with 
regards to hyphenation

strange, this should not happen with an embedded font

Hello,

your ConTeXt is way too old. It doesn't have type-akb included. Either
update your ConTeXt or get type-akb from http://levana.de/context/ .

Re: how to use Times Roman font

[Matthias Weber]

Xue,

  I am not a font expert at all, and we are on different platforms.

If I understand correctly, the font mechanism in TeXExec has been
changing, and different  ConTeXt versions rely on different versions of
pdfeTeX (not only for font reasons, but also for pdf features).

It should be imperative to use compatible versions of both, even though
I have no clue how to achieve this -- (on the Mac, Gerben's iinstaller
is nicely taking care of this, but I don't know about Windows)


In my recent experience, it was not a good idea to use the latest 
(March) ConTeXt beta
without making sure that your remaining TeX installation (including 
fonts) is completely
up-to-date. As I don't know how easy it is to move to some other  
'release' on Windows,
I don't know how feasible this recommendation is. Maybe somebody on 
Windows for whom
times works can give you some information which versions he is using, 
and how to get them.

I also wonder why the pdf made at ConTeXtgarden opens in Acrobat with 
font substitution -- the fonts should be
universally available, I believe.

Hopefully somebody with more insight will clarify ?

Matthias

RE: how to use Times Roman font

[Stefano]

Xue,

I tried the following on the latest full Windows ConTeXt download
(mswincontext.zip - 2005-03-16)

\usetypescript[times][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]
\starttext
\showfontstrip
\showbodyfont[times]
Roman \bf bold \it italics
\stoptext

... and the \rm font (times) is missing.  The log file complains of missing
characters ...

Missing character: There is no A in font texnansi-utmr8a!

I then tried it on http://live.contextgarden.net/ and the PDF loads, but
Acrobat complains of a missing font (times) and substitutes Helvetica.

I also tried many varied combinations and met with failure on each one.

I realize that either the font files, or the means by which they are called
within a document are in transition, but it would be very helpful if a
sample document(s) were created which demonstrates and uses all the fonts
provided with a complete ConTeXt install.  This would serve several
purposes:

1) it would demonstrate all the available fonts;
2) it would provide an up to date record of the proper and most recommended
way of calling those fonts within a document.
3) it would serve as a test to ensure all the fonts were installed and are
working as intended

Perhaps such a document already exists, but I have not (yet) found it ...

Regards,

Stefano

    Yes, neither of them seems to work in my box :(

Your TeXecec is very old; I'm using  TeXExec 5.2.4

We are apparently using the same version of ConTeXt, minus TeXexec.

Yes, an error here as well. Did you try the two other ways I mentioned in my 
other reply:

============================================
%\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]
%\setupbodyfont[pos] % note the comments

\usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

\starttext

\input knuth

\stoptext
============================================

Another way:

============================================
\definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=ec]

\switchtotypeface [times] [12pt,rm]


\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
===========================================

If neither of these two work then something is really wrong...

\usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

\starttext

\input knuth

Another way:

============================================
\definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times] 
[default] [encoding=ec]

\switchtotypeface [times] [12pt,rm]


\starttext
\input knuth

\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[pos]

Re: how to use Times Roman font

[Matthias Weber]

The following should work with the stable ConTeXt from January:

\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[pos]

\usetypescript[times][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

\starttext
\input knuth
\bigskip

\stoptext


If not, please post the error message together with version information
of your system.

how to use Times Roman font

[Xue Ruini]

Hello everyone,

   I am a newbie to ConTeXt. I have no idea how to use the Times Roman font
   in ConTeXt. (in Latex, just \usepackage{times})

   I found something like this:   (http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html)
   
   % Times font
   \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r]
   \setupbodyfont[pos]
   
   \starttext
   hellow, world
   \stoptext

   but an error occours:
---------------------------------------------
kpathsea: Running mktexmf utmr8t
! I can't find file `utmr8t'.
<*> ...:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input utmr8t
                                                  
Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
