Hoefler font in Mark IV

Hoefler font in Mark IV

[Charles Doherty]

Dear all,

I have been using Hoefler font successfully in a newsletter. I am now processing it in MarkIV but I don't get bold or bold italic. Italic is not quite the same either. I am using simplefonts. I have the .dfont and the .ttf on my system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Charlie

Run this:
mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Then check the output of this:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --info --pattern=hoefler*

If it doesn't list your fonts, theres something wrong.

But it may give you something like this:
hoeflertext	hoeflertextregular	Hoefler-Text.ttf
hoeflertextbold	hoeflertextbold		Hoefler-TextBf.ttf
... etc. depending on the real names and files.

You then can try to add an option with the correct name to simplefonts:
\setmainfont[Hoefler Text][boldfont=hoeflertextbold]

Hoefler Text has only a black and a blackitalic but no bold or bolditalic, therefore simplefonts can’t find them and you have to help the command. The * is a placeholder for the font name from the first argument.

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfont[Hoefler Text][boldfont={* Black},bolditalicfont={* Black Italic}]

\starttext
regular \it italic \bf bold and \bi bolditalic
\stoptext
