For >me, the names never seemed to match what I had on my system. some of the names, like ppl and so are there for backward compatibility the best way to use fonts is to define a typeface, like: \definetypeface [main] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=texnansi] so that you can say \setupbodyfont[main,10pt] etc etc live would be simple if we only had one encoding, but it happens that 8r texnansi ec il2 pl0 etc are used and some of them are in the tex distributions, and some are not 9for all fonts); the symbolic font names used are the official ones; [for commercial fonts, for me it makes most sense to use original font and filenames, instead of those incomprehensible <=8char ones] hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- fall-back web server: www.pragma-pod.nl -------------------------------------------------------------------------
