Calligraphy and Lucida?

Calligraphy and Lucida?

[Maarten Sneep]

Hi,

I'd like to use the calligraphic typeface from the lucida set, but 
using the following setup, I don't get 'em.

\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hanging][pure]
\setupalign[hanging]

\setupbodyfont[lbr,9pt]

\starttext
{\cg This should be in the Lucida Calligraphic typeface --- but it 
isn't}
\stoptext

Any ideas? I'm running a current ConTeXt.

Maarten

Don't it ever get lonesome?

Accorrding to the manual 'showfonts.pdf' the following should work:
\usetypescript [lucida] [texnansi]

\switchtotypeface [lucida] [9pt]

Thanks for the reply, but it didn't help.

Nope, doesn't change a thing. Not on my TeXLive 7 system.

Can someone who has these fonts show me how they do it? It must be 
possible, Hans Hagen has used them in the Context manual...

Hoi Maarten,

sorry then I can't advise you further, unfortunately I am not the lucky
owner of this font-collection.

Hello Maarten,

I couldn't get your example to work, and the code for font switching
is too hard for me to understand.  As a short term solution you can
issue this command:

   \font\cg = texnansi-lbc at 9pt

(Adjusting for the name of your lucida-bright calligraphy .tfm file.)

I'll have another look at the code, but don't expect anything
insightful.

in type-pre.tex, you need to add the calligraphy entry in:

\starttypescript [lbr]

   \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono,math,calligraphy,handwriting] ....
   \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono,math,calligraphy,handwriting] ....

    ....

after that the following will work (no need for a new format):

   \setupbodyfont[lbr] \rm test \ss test \tt test \hw test \cg test

Thanks Hans,

Adding the calligraphy entry, works for me.
