This font project aims at merging the existing free fonts (now spread over original, quasi and vn collections). The first stage is a mere merge and as with latin modern, the authors will converge to a stable consistent set of fonts. So ... go ahead and become a tester. Integration in context is rather easy. (1) fetch the two zips (base and hh) from the website mentioned (2) put the atteched file in your context/base path (3) run mktexlsr After that, the following should work: \starttext \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino] \showfont[Serif] \stoptext so, the magic is in the small typescript file: \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] this will overload existing definitions. The nice thing is that this project will make many font problems (mostly related to missing files) go away because the names fit context, and the amount of files is reduced enormously (only 4 type 1 files, no virtual fonts, etc) All popular encodings are supported The pagella (based on palladio) also has cyrilic, but we need to figure out a way to integrate this (should be easy) Vietnamese users: please check if things work ok, these fonts contain work done by Han The Thanh and the fonts will eventually replace his variants Polish and neighbouring users: these fonts will replace the quasi variants. Keep in mind that this is the first version. The shapes will be improved over time. Even more: all fonts eventually will have math companions as well as (in open type) features. This project is substantially funded by the tex user groups (cstug, dante, gust, ntg, tugindia, tug). We hope to involve more user groups in the next stage (math, extensions, etc) so feel free to contact us. On behalf of ythe user groups the project is coordinated by Jerzy while the dev team is lead by Jacko. The next few years more fonts will be released. At the next bachotek [eurotex organized by pl/cs] there will be the first formal releases + presentations about them, so better be there ...
