gentium font doesn't work in latest current

gentium font doesn't work in latest current

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

the current version doesn't work with the gentium font; it is displayed in a
tiny size. Test file:

\usetypescript[gentium]

\starttext

Hello 
\switchtobodyfont[gentium]
World

\stoptext

I don't know if other fonts are affected as well; so far, I've only seen this
with gentium. This used to work about two weeks ago.

All best

Thomas

Works fine here with current 2010.05.24 and latest beta. Perhaps you
should clear the font cache.

Best wishes,
Taco

Shoot, I tried everything (deleted the luatex cache, deleted another instance of
the gentium font, made a new example to exclude caching in the pdf viewer,
compiled luatex from trunk), but I still get the tiny font size with the example
I posted above. This is on linux, with luatex version 0.61 and the latest beta.
Could others please test the example above and report? 

Best

Thomas

I get the same problem.

Mojca

Out of curiosity: did we ever submit the proper version of ttf to
CTAN? We had a broken font version in repository for a while. It could
be that it was just a time-bomb showing up the problem at some random
point in time. But I didn't try to replace the font version.

Mine was (Thomas???):

> md5 GenR102.TTF
MD5 (GenR102.TTF) = c968d72c4bfc649e2581a5d6699fd31f

But replacing it with another version didn't help (yet) despite
deleting the cache.

Still OK for me.

!load otf       : loading: /home/taco/tmp/GenR102.ttf (hash: genr102)


!load otf       : font loaded okay


!load otf       : file size: 309228
!load otf       : enhancing ...
!load otf       : saving in cache: /home/taco/tmp/GenR102.ttf

Weird. This machine is 32-bit linux, btw.

There has been some changes in the filename checking (was needed for 
usage in latex) and something might have got lost there. In retrospect i 
should never have changed anything in our code for that reason and 
definitely not around tl freeze time.  I'll have a look at it.

Yes, that solved it for me too! Taco, what can we do about that? AFAICS,
unfortunately, the gentium fonts do come with the TTF extension. Should we
rename them or trust that Hans will cook up a solution? 

Thanks for looking into this!

Should be fixed in the next beta (and I hotfixed the TL repo)

Hi all,

With the latest beta, the issue with the size of the gentium font is solved but till there is still an issue with the distance between "Hello" and "World"
I tested this with the following example

\usetypescript[gentium]
\starttext
Hello \switchtobodyfont[gentium] World
\stoptext

and ConTeXt version 
ConTeXt  ver: 2010.05.27 13:47 MKIV  fmt: 2010.5.27  int: english/english
LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.1-2010042810.

Please see the attached PDF file. (Working on Mac OS X 10.6.3, gentium.ttf Version 1.02; 2005; OFL release).

Best regards: OK

I saw that too. \switchtobodyfont is generating lots of spaces
when it is called in horizontal mode. They come from the
\definetypescriptprefix lines in the tex-gyre typescript
(type-otf.mkiv):


   \definetypescriptprefix [f:pagella] [pagella]
\definetypescriptprefix [f:palatino]   [pagella]

et cetera. Each lines adds two extra blanks: one is the space
after the first command, the second is the newline after the second
command.

Best wishes,
Taco

we can try to ignore lines, but even then, it's better to do:

\usetypescript[gentium]
\setupbodyfont[gentium]
\setupbodyfont[whatever]

\starttext

Hello {\switchtobodyfont[gentium] World ... }

this is because \switchtobodyfont is doing a lot and is supposed to be 
used grouped, so performance wise it's better first to trigger it once
