bigger font families

bigger font families

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi!

Is there a way for other type classes than roman, sans, math and mono?
E.g. I need sometimes an additional casual/script/handwriting font family 
(think of Lucida...) and would like to address it as style=\hd or like that.

I tried to define it with usual typescripts and "hand" instead of "sans" etc. 
but had no success. If such *should* work, then I'll review it and look for 
mistakes, but if it *can't* work I must abuse one of serif/sans/mono.

An other way would be mapping the script font to an "exotic" style like 
\sc\it -- what do you think?

there is \hw and \cg for handwritten and calligraphy, and you can define 
more if you want (peek into font-ini.tex); also, in some type-* files you 
will find casuals; in principle you can create your own names (we do that 
for things like semi fonts), so we do things like:

\definetypeface [mainfont] [rm] [serif] ...

\definetypeface [semifont] [rm] [semi-serif] /...

that's the nice thing of typefaces/scripts, that you can cook up your own 
names.

the rm, ss, tt cg, hw entries are predefined which means that they will be 
recognized and have associated commands, if you want more (with as 
restiction that they should have two char names) you can define them with 
\definefontstyle; in a similar fashion you can define \tfp|q|r if you want 
or even map names onto families (math) etc etc

Thank you again!

I thought so, but it didn't work with my first try. I'll try harder.

BTW: I couldn't find the Bugzilla site for ConTeXt, not even in the ML 
archive -- could you put the link onto your "useful links" page?
(And you could add my site to the user links. I promise to enhance it -- 
after my wedding...)

Hello Hans!

Under which sofa did you find that old mail? (January 2002)
Thank you, but it was answered long ago.
