Installing mathpazo

Installing mathpazo

    Hello!

Now that I have the pxfonts working, I would like to convert to
mathpazo :-). I bought the oldstyle numeral and small caps
Palatino fonts from Linotype and already succeeded in setting
them up under ConTeXt. Mathpazo however is troublesome: The
attached typescript file causes a seemingly infinite loop, and
uses up TeX's capacity quickly.

Could anyone give me a hint about what I am doing wrong? Are
there problems re-defining typescripts? (The palatino math
typescript is previously defined using pxfonts.)

    Cheers,
    Marco

first make sure that you put your typescripts in a place where they are 
found, either in a local typeface.tex [in the project path] or in a file 
that you register with \usetypescriptfile.

the \definetypeface commands then go into your document style, and the 
newly created file is taken into account too,

since i get no loop here, i suggest you give the latest beta a try

I think that was my mistake; I had the \definetypeface commands
in the typescript file. (I do not really know why this is
important, though.)

Great, I now managed to get things running with my mathpazo
setup, and things look nice. I even succeeded in convincing
ConTeXt to do protruding for Roman, Italic, and Bold Italic;
Bold doesn't seem to feel need to obey. But as I understand,
support for the protruding mechanism is still changing, right?

Thanks a lot for your help on that issue, anyway.

    Cheers,
    Marco

this is because typescripts are not put into tex's memory, but parsed each 
time, which means that they need to be stored in a loadable way, i.e. in a file

protruding should work, also for bold, but you need the latest pdftex [with 
the em-based method] and also must load the protruding as early as 
possible, since it is connected to the first instantiation of fonts. [nasty 
global/efficiency stuff in tex]; also, context disables protruding in 
controlled situations, like in page building
