Font Question: Specific font sizes not working.

Font Question: Specific font sizes not working.

[David Wooten]

Greetings all,

In the last week or so I started having a problem with fonts: what once 
worked stopped doing so, giving me the default font rather than my 
chosen fonts. I finally figured out that it is only certain sizes that 
are not working. For example, with:

\usetypescriptfile[jensonpro]
\usetypescript[jenson]
\switchtobodyfont[jenson,11pt]

\starttext

Testing.

\stoptext

"\switchtododyfont" sizes 8pt, 10pt, 11pt, 13pt all still work, while 
9pt and 12pt no longer do so...

I recently updated ConTeXt and it remains the same. No change was made 
to my typescript files, and indeed in \definebodyfont those sizes are 
definitely listed:

\starttypescript [serif] [Opticals] [size]
\definebodyfont
  [13pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt][rm]
...
\stoptypescript

Any clues?


Kind regards,
David

Hmm, well I seem to have figured something out:

the line

    \switchtobodyfont[jenson,12pt]

used to work. When replaced with

    \switchtotypeface[jenson][12pt]
    
it now once again does the trick.

         ...bodyfont", naturally ;)

Is the problem specific to the jenson typeface?

It is specific to two typefaces whose typescript files I made in the 
same manner: jenson & minion. Other fonts do not act this way, including 
palatino and the self-installed haarlemmer (which has a different kind 
of typescript file). The typescript file for jenson & minion are based 
on one from Adam Lindsey, I believe it was for Warnock Pro. This may be 
rather out of date.
