definefontfamily options for caps and capsbold fonts

definefontfamily options for caps and capsbold fonts

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Hi Wolfgang,

with the new simplefonts interface I have two options that used to work
with the old interface, but that don’t work now.

Here is the command:

\definefontfamily[mainface][mono][ryt1xtt][capsfont=ryt1xttsc,
boldfont=ryt1xbtt, capsboldfont=ryt1xttsc]

I get mono the bold font, but I cannot get mono small caps or mono bold
small caps.

Is alternative=simplefonts the right way to make them work? (They work
fine with this option, but I have the impression of using old code.)

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

You can set the smallcaps font with the “smallcapsfont” key but I suggest
to use the new keys instead because the old ones will disappear at one point.

\definefontfamily[…][…][…][bf=file:ryt1xbtt,sc=file:ryt1xttsc]

The bold caps font you want to use is not possible with the \definefontfamily
command because context doesn’t provide a command to use it by default.

The simplefonts alternative works better when you have the small caps
in a separate file (I will look if I can do something for the default alternative
to support this there as well) but I won’t use it because the algorithm
can fail in some cases.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

I will see if I can create a single font with caps and regular glyphs.

Many thanks for your help,
