CharisSIL doesn't load

CharisSIL doesn't load

[Martin Althoff]

Using the typescript for CharisSIL as given doesn't work for me. "Modern" is substituted (as should be). It appears to load the mkiv file, but not the fonts, What am I doing wrong? Example below.

(on Mac: MTXrun | current version: 2010.07.30 11:35, LuaTeX, Version beta-0.61.0-2010072816)

-- I have adapted to the type-charissil.mkiv to fit the font names as reported on my system  and set OSFONTDIR=/System/Library/Fonts;~/FontLib/opensource;/Library/Fonts;~/FontLib/context-use;


mtxrun --script font --list --all --name --pattern=charis

charissil             charissil             /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILR.ttf
charissilbold         charissilbold         /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILB.ttf
charissilbolditalic   charissilbolditalic   /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILBI.ttf
charissilitalic       charissilitalic       /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILI.ttf
charissilnormal       charissilitalic       /Users/martin/FontLib/opensource/CharisSIL/CharisSILI.ttf


The output shows that the the mkiv file is certainly found:
(/Users/martin/contextMini/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/typescripts/type-charissil.mkiv) 


It _will_ work perfectly fine, i.e. work-around, if I combine the type-charissil.tex and type-charissil.mkiv into a single file! See my working type-charissil.mkiv below. I also hide the .tex file!




Example:

\setupbodyfont[charissil,12pt]
\starttext
\showbodyfont
\input tufte
\stoptext

There is a typo in the last line of type-charissil.tex: Change

\loadmarkfile{charissil}

to

\loadmarkfile{type-charissil}

Aditya, thanks for that -- hope that typo gets fixed in the sources. Unfortunately that did not fix the problem. Despite runs of  

mtxrun --script font --reload
context --generate

Thanks Luigi, I note that down. But it didn't do the trick to solve the problem. Guess it is as Aditya said: there is a problem in principle at this point in time. 

Best, Martin

\usetypescriptfile has changed. Earlier it used to load file.tex, but now 
it loads file.mkiv and therefore, none of the typescripts from the 
typescript module work. A short-term work around is to add

\ReadFile{type-charissil}

somewhere befoer \setupbodyfont. (you loose all the fancy loading 
of \usetypescirptfile, but for one-off typescripts that is not too bad).

In the long term, all the typescripts in the typescript module need to be 
modified. (At present, it appears that \usetypescript does not load .mkii 
file in mkii, but I did not test extensively).

Another option is to use simplefonts module.

\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Charis Sil]

should work.

Ok, so a more fundamental problem. 

Both suggestions you made, work for me:

%workaround1
\ReadFile{type-charissil}
\setupbodyfont[charissil]

%workaround 2
%\usemodule[simplefonts]
%\setmainfont[Charis Sil]

Saves me copying my "fixed" and combined mkiv file after every update.

Best,
Martin

first a file file the mk suffix is checked and when not found, a tex 
file is searched for, so in mkiv the first try is given.mkiv (which 
itself could load given.tex) and when not found given.tex

> \ReadFile{type-charissil}

this will not load the typescripts in the same way
