Using free Lucida, MinionPro and MyriadPro

Using free Lucida, MinionPro and MyriadPro

[abbg770]

Hi,

Anyone tried using the MinionPro or MyriadPro thats ships with Adobe Reader 
8?

$ tree /opt/Adobe/Reader8/Resource/Font/
/opt/Adobe/Reader8/Resource/Font/
|-- AdobePiStd.otf
|-- CourierStd-Bold.otf
|-- CourierStd-BoldOblique.otf
|-- CourierStd-Oblique.otf
|-- CourierStd.otf
|-- MinionPro-Bold.otf
|-- MinionPro-BoldIt.otf
|-- MinionPro-It.otf
|-- MinionPro-Regular.otf
|-- MyriadPro-Bold.otf
|-- MyriadPro-BoldIt.otf
|-- MyriadPro-It.otf
|-- MyriadPro-Regular.otf
|-- PFM
|   |-- SY______.PFM
|   |-- zx______.pfm
|   `-- zy______.pfm
|-- SY______.PFB
|-- ZX______.PFB
`-- ZY______.PFB

1 directory, 19 files


If you happen to use Java you might have noticed that it comes with Lucida 
aswell

$ tree /opt/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/fonts/
/opt/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/fonts/
|-- LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf
|-- LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf
|-- LucidaBrightItalic.ttf
|-- LucidaBrightRegular.ttf
|-- LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
|-- LucidaSansRegular.ttf
|-- LucidaTypewriterBold.ttf
|-- LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf
`-- fonts.dir

0 directories, 9 files

and

$ tree /opt/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/oblique-fonts/
/opt/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/oblique-fonts/
|-- LucidaSansDemiOblique.ttf
|-- LucidaSansOblique.ttf
|-- LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique.ttf
|-- LucidaTypewriterOblique.ttf
`-- fonts.dir

0 directories, 5 files


Can someone enlighten me with the legal issues surrounding the use of these 
fonts i.e., whether I can use them to typeset a thesis etc. If it's 
perfectly ok, I'd assume someone has written an article describing how I'd 
configure ConTeXt to use them. If you so happen to have the link, please 
post it.

And a question directed to the developers, why didn't you chose 'ConTeX', 
google doesn't like 'ConTeXt' it gets confused. I'm pretty sure users have 
noticed this.

In the wiki's homepage there is a Google custom search box (special
search) which looks only for the right ConTeXt.
Try it!

Assuming I've got

\loadmapfile[texnansi-bandh-lucida.map]

\definefontsynonym[LucidaBright-Demi]
[texnansi-LucidaBrightDemiBold][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaBright-DemiItalic]
[texnansi-LucidaBrightDemiItalic][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaBright-Italic]
[texnansi-LucidaBrightItalic][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaBright]
[texnansi-LucidaBrightRegular][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaSans-Demi]
[texnansi-LucidaSansDemiBold][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaSans-DemiOblique]
[texnansi-LucidaSansDemiOblique][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaSans-Oblique]
[texnansi-LucidaSansOblique][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaSans]
[texnansi-LucidaSansRegular][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaSans-TypewriterBold]
[texnansi-LucidaTypewriterBold][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaSans-TypewriterBoldOblique]
[texnansi-LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaSans-TypewriterOblique]
[texnansi-LucidaTypewriterOblique][encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaSans-Typewriter]
[texnansi-LucidaTypewriterRegular][encoding=texnansi]


How would the typscript file be defined?


Thanks

see previous posts on the list ... use xetex or luatex in which case you 
need to remap the names but no encodings and map files

Apart from what Diego already told you (to use the searchbox on wiki
or add site:contextgarden.net when searching) - just convince the
LaTeX community to change name and ConTeXt will follow. :)
