XeTeX style was very appealing for many people, and verbose font definitions may distract these users. i dunno what xetex style means here, but \font\vladimirscript=name:vladimir*default at 12pt is as minimum as it can gets but normally you want to set up a whole bunch of related things > But anyway, thank you for escaping us from TeX-specific font hell :) > > Let me restate my question: is the following definition is really MINIMAL or it can be further reduced in some way? > > \starttypescript [serif] [vladimirscript] > \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:vladimir][features=default] > \stoptypescript > \starttypescript [vladimirscript] > \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [vladimirscript] [default] > \stoptypescript > > \usetypescript[vladimirscript] > \setupbodyfont > [vladimirscript, 12pt] \starttypescript [serif] [vladimirscript] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:vladimir][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [vladimirscript] \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [vladimirscript] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[vladimirscript] \setupbodyfont[vladimirscript, 12pt] by adding the setups call, you make sure that your bold etc also uses the same font as fallback ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread
