issues with typeface selection

issues with typeface selection

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

    \definefontfamily[timesnew][serif][FreeSerif]
    \definefontfamily[droidserif][serif][Droid Serif]
    \setupbodyfont[palatino, 12pt]
    \starttext
    I want to have \type{\timesnew\ttfx} and \type{\droidserif\ttfx}
    in each cell, but \type{foregroundstyle} doesn’t seem to work
    (compilation crashes).
    \startxtable
    \blank
    \startxrow
    \startxcell \ConTeXt\ is awesome!\stopxcell
    \startxcell \ConTeXt\ is awesome!\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
    \blank
    Typeface selection doesn’t seem to work even with paragraphs:
    \defineparagraphs[timesdroid][each][n=2, before=\blank]
    \defineparagraphs[timesdroid][1][style=\newtimes]
    \defineparagraphs[timesdroid][2][style=\droidserif]
    \starttimesdroid
    \ConTeXt\ is awesome!
    \timesdroid
    \ConTeXt\ is awesome!
    \stoptimesdroid
    \stoptext

All I need is to be able to have a text with a given font family and a
smaller font size on the left and the same text with the same font size
but another font family on the right.

I have failed with both xtables and paragraphs.

Wnat am I missing in each case?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

Partially replying to myself.

After defining a paragraphs environment, I have to set them up, not to
define them again.

So the code above should read:

    \defineparagraphs[timesdroid][each][n=2, before=\blank]
    \setupparagraphs[timesdroid][1][style=\newtimes]
    \setupparagraphs[timesdroid][2][style=\droidserif]

But I don’t know what is wrong is foregroundstyle in xtables.

Many thanks for your help,

There is no \ttfx font switch command, what ConTeXt has is \tfx (with 
one “t” in the name)
which switches to a smaller size for the upright font and \tttfx (with 
three “t” in the name)
which switches to a smaller size for the upright typewriter font.

Many thanks for your help, Wolfgang.

Of course, you are right. I know that, but I mistyped it.

Although I still having problems with foregroundstyle, such as in:

    \definefontfamily[newtimes][serif][FreeSerif]
    \definefontfamily[droidserif][serif][Droid Serif]
    \setupbodyfont[palatino, 12pt]
    \setuphead[section][style=\newtimes\tfx]
    \starttext
    \section{Comparision}
    \startxtable
    \startxrow
    \startxcell[foregroundstyle=\newtimes\tfx] \ConTeXt\stopxcell
    \startxcell[foregroundstyle=\droidserif\tfx] \ConTeXt\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
    \stoptext

Is there a way to add both commands to foregroundstyle? Or how can I get
both commands in the xcell?

Many thanks for your help again,

All I can tell at the moment is that the problem is related to the “x” 
font size.

\starttext

\startxtable
     \startxrow
         \startxcell[foregroundstyle=\txx] % this fails: foregroundstyle=\tx
             \CONTEXT
         \stopxcell
     \stopxrow
\stopxtable

\stoptext

BTW: Can you avoid using fonts which aren’t available on all systems.

Wolfgang,

I’m afraid that compilation also crashes with font commands in
foregroundstyle:

    \definefontfamily[newtimes][serif][TeX Gyre Termes]
    \setupbodyfont[palatino, 12pt]
    \setuphead[section][style=\newtimes\tfx]
    \starttext
    \section{Comparision}
    \startxtable
    \startxrow
    \startxcell[foregroundstyle=\newtimes] \ConTeXt\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
    \stoptext

hm, hard to catch (esp if we want to do that everywhere it will be a 
slow downer) ... i'll do it for cells but so far other mechanisms were 
less sensitive for this (we'd need an extension to luatex for handling 
such cases ... maybe i'll look into that later)

as i don't upload today you can test

\setupxtable[newtimes][foregroundstyle=\newtimes]
\startxcell[newtimes]                  ...\stopxcell

Shouldn’t be something like this enough (even though a better solution 
to prevent expension here would be nice):

\unexpanded\def\tabl_x_start_cell_delayed_one[#tag]%
% {\ifcsname\namedxtablehash{#tag}\s!parent\endcsname
- {\ifcsname\??xtablecheck#tag\endcsname
+ {\ifcsname\??xtablecheck\detokenize\expandafter{#tag}\endcsname
      \expandafter\tabl_x_start_cell_delayed_two
    \else
      \expandafter\tabl_x_start_cell_yes
    \fi[#tag]}

you're close, the catch i referred to is:

 
{\ifcsname\??xtablecheck\detokenize\expandafter{\normalexpanded{#tag}}\endcsname

because we need at least some expansion

Many thanks for your fix, Hans.

It works perfect now.
