This sort of works apart from math. The problem with lucida is that it was originally shipped by yandy and when tug took over the metric files were not keps as is (or even shipped) but changed to different names (hlcra.tfm etc) and these don't ship with texlive so i cannot test (i have the original lucida maths fonts). This leave all those who bought lucida in the past without proper support. As the metrics etc were made for latex, latex users probably don't notice this, but tex users who rolled out their own font code (or other packages) are crippled by this. Maybe the minimals should ship those lucida math tfm files (i don't know if there are vf files too). I'm not going to buy new lucida math fonts. for mkiv lucida math is turned into a virtual unicode font (math-vfu) but as said i cannot test it without the proper metrics; actually, these math fonts is the only place where mkiv still uses tfm files \starttypescript [serif] [lucida] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [name:LucidaBright] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [name:LucidaBright-Demi] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [name:LucidaBright-Italic] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][name:LucidaBright-DemiItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [lucida] [name] \usetypescript[sans][fallback] \definefontsynonym[Sans] [name:LucidaSans] \definefontsynonym[SansItalic] [name:LucidaSans-Oblique] \definefontsynonym[SansBold] [name:LucidaSans-Demi] \definefontsynonym[SansBoldItalic] [name:LucidaSans-DemiOblique] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [mono] [lucida] [name] \usetypescript[mono][fallback] \definefontsynonym[Mono] [name:LucidaSans-Typewriter] \definefontsynonym[MonoItalic] [name:LucidaSans-TypewriterOblique] \definefontsynonym[MonoBold] [name:LucidaSans-TypewriterBold] \definefontsynonym[MonoBoldItalic] [name:LucidaSans-TypewriterBoldOblique] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[MyLucida][rm][serif][lucida][default][features=default] \definetypeface[MyLucida][ss][sans] [lucida][default][features=default] \definetypeface[MyLucida][tt][mono] [lucida][default][features=default] \definetypeface[MyLucida][mm][math] [lucida][default] \setupbodyfont[MyLucida] \starttext test $x$ \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
