Hello List,
hello Wolfgang,
I was google-ing how to use MnSymbol with context an (only) found an old
mail from late '09 where you said you'd have to figure out how to use the
greek letters from the text font. Any progress on that? Is there any way to
use MnSymbol in context?
If not, does someone know a decent alternative? And why does it work in
Latex?
Please tell me it's possible, I don't want to go back to Latex, context is
much cooler.
Greetings
Christian

Then don't go back to LaTeX.

Simply because the author created fonts and LaTeX support files at the
same time, but he doesn't know ConTeXt well enough.

It should be, but not yet out of the box. Somebody needs to take a
look and write a few support files.

The problem is, that luatex refuses to load any of the MnSymbol*.otf font files available from CTAN with an error message. I don't know what is broken with the fonts.
Should you just be interested in the symbols you can fix the otf font with fontforge by reencoding and saving it to a unicode font again. Glyphs with undefined unicode value will be assigned to unicode slots starting from 0xF0000.
Then you can do this:
\definefontsynonym [MnSymbol12U] [name:MnSymbol12Uni]
\starttext
\definedfont [MnSymbol12U at 16pt] ABC XYZ \char"25B7 \char"2660 \char"2720 \char"10391 \char"10393 \char"10335
\stoptext
To print a table with glyphs and unicode values do:
\usemodule[fnt-10]
\starttext
\ShowCompleteFont{name:MnSymbol12Uni}{11pt}{1} % MnSymbol12Uni.otf
\stoptext
I used the following fontforge script to re-generate the font:
#begin fontforge script
#usage: fontforge -script fontBMP2Full.ff MnSymbol12.otf
Open($1);
F1 = $fontname+"Uni" # fontname
F2 = "" # familyname
F3 = $fullname+"Uni" # fullname
F4 = "" # weight
F5 = "" # copyright
F6 = "" # fontversion
#SetFontNames(fontname[,family[,fullname[,weight[,copyright-notice[,fontversion]]]]])
#Sets various postscript names associated with a font. If a name is omitted (or is the
#empty string) it will not be changed.
SetFontNames(F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6)
Reencode("unicode");
Generate($fontname+".otf");
Quit(0);
#end fontforge script

Reporting the errors would help finding what is wrong.

It is the CFF parser in the backend that gives up on the font. I have no
idea why that is, but a (re-)"generate fonts" in fontforge fixed
it for me.
Best wishes,
Taco

Ok, that explains why context is literally ignoring the font. But will the
described procedure allow the usage like in the attached example? It's done
with latex and the minion package. Looks beautiful to me (except maybe some
small scaling issues with the big '(' ) Sorry for the crappy screenshot, the
64k-Limit blocked attaching the one page >200k PDF.
As a side note: Is mathdesign available for context? I remember reading
about it somewhere, but the third-party module site has nothing listed.
Also: the 64K-Limit is a pain in the ass. Had to try 4 times to get it out
:(

You can use Dropbox are any other service to provide large files.

I made a package [1] with all necessary font files a while ago but it’s
Mojcas job to include them in the minimals. The typescripts are already
part of context.

True, that's a workaround. But those who read the archive may find expired
links.

Thank you very much.
I installed the URW-Garamond manually from CTAN and now it's working. Some
minor troubles like too much italic (brackets and numbers in math mode are
italic O_o) but it's a start.

I still have complete rewrite of minimals in my
as-soon-as-i-can-take-some-time todo list. The idea back then was to
use the same switch for mathdesign as for modules.
The fonts are already here:
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/fonts/extra/
but I sent (and probably also already lost) a patch to Hans to allow
adding extra fonts. Three lines have to be added to mtx-update.lua to
fetch fonts from the extra tree. (And something else to fetch testing
files inside "context" directory.)
(An alternative is simply to take all the fonts into default
distribution, but that might start growing "to infinity".)

Hi C., hi Taco,
I followed Florians path, re-"generated font" MnSymbol now is found.
But I am wondering, too: how can MnSymbol be made available as a true context-math- font,
eg. to produce an example like C. posted it (with latex and minion-package)?

sure, if you cook up the definition for the virtualization (if the
encoding is default tex it's no big deal, otherwise some extra tables
are needed) ...

Since I don't even know how to check the encoding of a font - let alone
creating/changing it - I must pass on this one.
Can someone with more background on the subject have a look?
I'd love to use MnSymbol with Context.

Same for me ... but it would be nice to learn these things!
Can someone explain what is needed and how to start?

I must confess that I no longer understand how the math virtual fonts work
are implemented. I understood how things worked a year ago (see the
tugboat article for details), but I have not been able to keep up with all
the internal rearrangements.

Don't worry, it didn't really change that much. The most important
change is that font specific definitions moved to the lfg files (only
the default vectors are preloaded). For a non standard font lucida can
be taken as example.

Ah... that is why I could not search for them :)

the symbols aren’t the problem, what’s difficult is greek because the greek letters are taken from minion pro (the text font) and not from a special math font and this is where it gets tricky

Why not just merge Minion with MnSymbol and create a new font if virtualisation is tricky? Of cause you cannot redistribute the new font but you could distribute a fontforge script which does the merge. This way you could create an OpenType Math font with greek already in the right slots. Maybe also merge with Cronos to get sans math into the font.

Seems like a good idea, but it's harder than it sounds. Here is what I
tried:
-Load MnSymbol12 in FontForge
-Run the script (by Florian, see email from 20. Feb 2011)
-Merge in Minion Pro (all of it :D )
-Generate OTF
...but the font (I also renamed it to be sure) does not show up in the
output. Instead LM-Math is used.
If someone succeeds, please let me know how you did it.
