Re: Installing Cyrillic font

Hi Vyatcheslav,

(I intercepted your message because it was a bit too big for the list)

I am sorry to say that this really looks like the INF of the standard
Times-Roman font that does not have cyrillic glyphs (and the same was
true of your log file).

Can you explain to the people on the list how you could successfully
use cyrillic, what operating system you are using, and in which
previewer exactly?

I myself am lost as to what is going wrong exactly, but I find it
hard to believe that the previewer is using tir_____.pfb, from the
information you have provided so far.

Best, Taco

Yes, Taco, you are right. I was muddled by Extensis Suitcase which displayed Cyrillic text in a font preview mode (probably, substituted?). The font (tir_____.pfb) itself doesn't contain any Cyrillic glyphs, indeed. Thanks a lot for your point. 

I've abandon the Adobe font and installed Times-Roman from the  collection located at at http://freshmeat.net/projects/urw-fonts-cyrillic. Texfont has performed its job excellent and now I'm able to typeset Russian. (The filenames for Times-Roman are n021003l.afm, n021004l.afm, n021023l.afm and n021024l.afm)

However, now that Russian seems OK I have stuck with Ukrainian. Despite the fact that this font DOES contain all Ukrainian-specific glyphs (Ie, I, and Yi; if you never saw them then see http://www.alanwood.net/demos/wgl4.html), They cause errors and are replaced by wrong symbols in the output pdf file.

My test script is the following
...........................................

\loadmapfile[t2a-urw-timescyr.map]

\font\myfirstfont=t2a-n021003l

\starttext

I might have missed the point completely, but do you set the file
encoding anywhere, such as \enableregime[cp1251] (= windows-1251)
anywhere? I didn't try your examples, but unless you set this
somewhere cyrilic glyphs unlikely to work properly.

Thank you, Mojca.

No, I didn't set the encoding and let me explain why. 

When I put \enableregime[cp1251] (I use that very encoding) at the top of my script, the output represents transliterated text (all Cyrillic glyphs are replaced with corresponding Latin letters). I didn't consider it strange until you pointed that to me. Here the .log file of the 'transliterated' document:

That's "normal". The problems is that you didn't specify the proper
encoding of your font, so TeX doesn't know that your font is cyrillic.

\font\myfirstfont=t2a-n021003l
\myfirstfont

is a plain TeX command, you have to use a ConTeXt command for that.

This is a way to go then:

\starttypescript [map] [timescyr] [t2a]
  \loadmapfile [\typescriptthree-urw-timescyr.map]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [serif] [timescyr] [name]
  \definefontsynonym [Serif] [...]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [serif] [timescyr] [t2a]
  \definefontsynonym [...] [\typescriptthree-progbot]
[encoding=\typescriptthree]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [serif] [t2a]
  \definetypeface [...] [rm] [serif] [timescyr] [default]
[encoding=\typescripttwo]
\stoptypescript

That's only a rought sketch. If you don't get any further using the
existing documentation and wiki, and if nobody else is willing to
help, I can try to complete the definitions if you ask again, but
someone is willing to do that instead ... I won't object.

(Although I suspect that there is a shorter way to tell to TeX which
encoding is being used for a specific font.)

Hello all,

Thanks to everybody, but I've already written the asked typescript for my installed Cyrillic font (NimbusRomanNo9L). 

Look at my script, if you interested in.

Ukrainian works as good as Russian; font variants could be selected as well.

I haven't tested the script as a separate file yet. Suggestions are welcome!

Re: Installing Cyrillic font

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2639 bytes --]

Hello all,

I've made some progress with your help. (and esp. Mojca's)

Following the guidelines from http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html,
I 've defined the Regular font as

\enableregime[cp1251]
\loadmapfile [t2a-urw-timescyr.map]
\definefontsynonym[NimbusRomanNo9L-Regu][t2a-n021003l][encoding=t2a]
\definefont[TimesCyr][NimbusRomanNo9L-Regu at 15pt]

\starttext
\TimesCyr
...

and it works OK unless I need Bold or Italic.

Now that I define the font in 'proper' way, using typescripts,

  \enableregime[cp1251]

    \usetypescriptfile[type-buy]
    \loadmapfile [t2a-urw-timescyr.map]

    \starttypescript [serif] [NimbusNo9L] [t2a]
      \definefontsynonym [NimbusNo9L-Roman]       [t2a-n021003l]  [encoding=t2a]
      \definefontsynonym [NimbusNo9L-Bold]        [t2a-n021004l]  [encoding=t2a]
      \definefontsynonym [NimbusNo9L-Italic]      [t2a-n021023l] [encoding=t2a]
      \definefontsynonym [NimbusNo9L-Bold-Italic] [t2a-n021024l] [encoding=t2a]
    \stoptypescript

      \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic]     [NimbusNo9L-Italic]
      \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [NimbusNo9L-Bold-Italic]
    \stoptypescript

    \starttypescript [TimesCyr] 
      \definetypeface [TimesCyr] [rm] [serif] [timescyr] [default] [encoding=t2a]
    \stoptypescript
 
    \usetypescript[TimesCyr]
    \setupbodyfont[TimesCyr]

Installing Cyrillic font

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 716 bytes --]

Hello

I'm looking for help with installing the Adobe Times font with Cyrillic support.

I have TIR_____.PFB and all other companion files. It surely contains Cyrillic glyphs because I can type Russian using a font viewer.  
I run the texfont utility as follows

texfont  -fontroot=e:/texmf --sourcepath=. --vendor=adobe  --encoding=t2a --collection=timescyr --makepath --install

and it performs good. But created t2a-adobe-timescyr.pdf test file shows no Cyrillic glyphs (it seems like there are vacant empty spaces from 192 to 255). Also I cannot make use of Russian in my context scripts. (Latin goes well)

I'm ready to send any additional relevant info.

Best regards, 
Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Assuming your copy of TIR_____.PFB really has cyrillic (I am a bit
   suspicious because mine doesn't, and Adobe's website says that the
   character set for "Times Std" is "Adobe Western 2", and that
   charset doesn't contain cyrillic at all.
   But I could be wrong and/or just confused by the file name):

The most likely problem is that you do not have a correct .enc file
(the log of the t2a-adobe-timescyr.tex pdftex run would definately
help).

Best, Taco
