Is the choice of this font beyond the >control of ConTeXt? the problem is that although the specs permit it (actually, this is why pdftex provides means to force characters in the file that are not typeset) i never managed to get it working (not even with the right vectors generated), so for the moment context only generates the full resources (conforming the specs) for ss/tt/rm styles using the build in fonts (helvetica, courier, times). Context also tries to honor the field's style settings (like slanted, or bold). Another problem with fields is the lack of a baseline concept in widgets (sigh) 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
