wierd problem

wierd problem

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello, 

I use 

\usetypescriptfile[mytypescripts]
\usetypescript[acaslonpro]

in the main file.

The mytypescrips file looks like

%Adobe Caslon Pro typeface
\starttypescript [serif] [acaslonpro]
    \definefontsynonym [ACaslonProRegular][name:ACaslonPro-Regular][features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [ACaslonProItalic][name:ACaslonPro-Italic][features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [ACaslonProBold][name:ACaslonPro-Bold][features=default]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [serif] [acaslonpro]
    \definefontsynonym [Serif][ACaslonProRegular][features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic][ACaslonProItalic][features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [SerifBold][ACaslonProBold][features=default]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [acaslonpro]
\definetypeface[acaslonpro][rm][serif][acaslonpro][default]
\stoptypescript

If to remove start/stop around \definetypeface, luatex enters infine loop.

Best,
Vyatchelsav

I am looking for a good way to convert these fonts to type1, but 
textrace and mftrace don't run under windows and the results of 
mf2pt1 are not (yet) ok. I am working on this.

Has anybody ever tried to rewrite metafont to produce type1 fonts?

Yes. The Gyre project is using an extended Metapost to generate Type1
and OTF fonts.

If I understand well,
why not something like
%%
%% set here papersize, pagenumbers, margins and so on
%%
\starttext
\dorecurse{200}{%
\hbox{%
\externalfigure[book.pdf][page=\recurselevel]%
\externalfigure[book.pdf][page=\recurselevel]
}\page}
\stoptext

Wierd problem.

[John R. Culleton]

On another list a listmate proposes to print a book in two copies side 
by side. The page size is 5.5 x 8.5 in. He wants to print two copies 
on his laser printer. He wants two impressions  of page one side by 
side on letter paper, with two copies of page two on the reverse side 
etc. for 200 pages. Then he will guillotine the stack making two 
copies of the book. 

But wait, it gets worse. He is not resetting the book but has a pdf 
file as his source.  I and others suggested the usual bit of using 
PSUtils to set four pages per sheet and folding them etc. but he 
doesn't want to get into folding. He has a guillotine and a binder. 
He doesn't have a folder. 

So, given a pdf file of a 5.5 x 8.5 book as a starting point, is there 
a sensible way to massage the pdf or its PS equvalent in a way to 
give him what he wants?  He is on an Ubuntu system.  He asked his 
question on the Scribus list.
