As the subject says. I've been experimenting with having a by-project
context folder, so I can have a "frozen" version for each project. I see
there's an option to install more fonts (including utopia, useful for a
project I'm working on). However, I have no idea how to use these fonts.
Are they available in mkiv? only for mkii? Do we have typescripts for those
fonts? If so, how are they called? Are those fonts actually usable or are
they just remains from a past era?

Thank you for your time.

Hi Andrés,

this sample works fine with both MkIV and LMTX (no --fonts=all required):

    \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Utopia]
    \setupbodyfont[mainface]
    \starttext
    \input zapf
    \stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Pablo

Tank you very much Pablo. I'll try that. They are proper latex fonts, tho,
so I'm no sure that will do. I also have a background i humanities and book
design, but I'm now making math books, go figure. It's very interesting
from a typographic point of view.

Now I'm more interested in seeing what happens with the last code I sent
here, in another message... "Strange behavior in somewhat complex layout"
Maybe nobody noticed it. I hope I can figure that out.

Hi Andrés,

I’m afraid that the consistency of message threads suffers with reply to
digest messages
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2019/thread.html).

At least, consider editing the subject and removing the irrelevant parts
from other messages, as suggested in:

Don’t get me wrong, a message may get no reply because it goes unnoticed.

Regarding Math Times Pro 2, I wonder whether
"\definefontfamily[mainface][mm][Math Times Pro 2]" would allow partial
usage.

But my background is in humanities and math is all Greek to me 😅.

Just in cas it might help,

Pablo
