typescripts

typescripts

[Herbert Voss]

I played with typescripts and have a problem.

I can use the beramono font in this way:

\definefont [Bera] [fvmr8a at 9.5pt]

\starttext
\Bera
\input knuth
\stoptext

but how would I insert it into a typescript of libertine,
where the mono font should used from bera?
This did not work:

...
\starttypescript[libertine]
    \definetypeface[libertine][rm][serif][libertine][default]
    \definetypeface[libertine][ss][sans] [libertine][default]
    \definetypeface[libertine][tt][mono] [file:fvmr8a.pfb]
[default][rscale=0.85]
    \definetypeface[libertine][mm][math] [modern]   [default]
\stoptypescript
...

You need something like this:

\starttypescript [mono] [bera] [name]
    \definefontsynonym [Mono] [file:fvmr8a.pfb]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[libertine]
   \definetypeface[libertine][rm][serif][libertine][default]
   \definetypeface[libertine][ss][sans] [libertine][default]
   \definetypeface[libertine][tt][mono] [bera]     [default][rscale=0.85]
   \definetypeface[libertine][mm][math] [modern]   [default]
\stoptypescript

Instead of the one definition above you can also define the following
if you want to access the font by name "Bera":

\starttypescript [mono] [bera]
    \definefontsynonym [Bera] [file:fvmr8a.pfb]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [mono] [bera] [name]
    \definefontsynonym [Mono] [Bera]
\stoptypescript

thanks! It worked only in this way:

\starttypescript [mono] [bera] [name]
    \definefontsynonym [Mono] [fvmr8a]
\stoptypescript

  For the same reason as Hans mentions in reply to Herbert, I guess.

The "file:*.pfb" didn't sound right to me either, but I misinterpreted
from not-precise-enough reading that pfb worked. Thanks for correcting
me.

You have to find both afm and pfb with the same name. So maybe it does
make sense to also allow pfb. (pfb might be the more intuitive of the
two.)

the problem was the lower case letter of serif in
    \setups[font:fallback:serif]
This was the reason why the serif font (libertine) wasn't used.
With  \setups[font:fallback:Serif]  it is ok.

But that was not my problem. The libertine regular wasn't found

When I change edit a typescript, do I have to run one
of the configuration scripts or is read every time when

[Michael Saunders]

I'm trying to follow the examples and getting surprising results:

\definefontfeature[default][mode=node,language=dflt,script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes]

\definefontfeature[body][default][onum=yes,pnum=yes,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][body][smcp=yes, onum=yes]
%I understood this to mean that "body" would inherit "default" and
"smallcaps" would inherit "body".

\starttypescript [sans] [gillLT]
   \definefontsynonym[Gill-Light][name:gillsansmtprolight][features=body]
   \definefontsynonym[Gill-Light-Italic][name:gillsansmtprolightitalic][features=body]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [sans] [gillLT]
   \definefontsynonym[Sans][Gill-Light][features=body]
   \definefontsynonym[SansItalic][Gill-Light-Italic][features=body]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [gill]
   \definetypeface [gillLT] [ss] [sans] [gillLT] [default]
[features=body,script=latn,script=grek]
\stoptypescript

\setupalign[hanging,hz]
\setupbodyfont[gillLT,12pt]

2:    \addff{body} 1234567890 fi fl ffi ffl    \addff{smallcaps} test smallcaps

In both 1 & 2, ligatures and small caps fail (though the glyphs are in
the font).
In 1, oldstyle fails.

The easiest way is to use different typeface for regular width and
condensed, e.g.

\definetypeface[myfont][...]

and

\definetypeface[myfontcd]

You can then switch between both with \myfont and \myfontcd.

> do you need all of your fonts at the same time in your document?

Most of the time, one serif and one sans.  I'd be happy to get these
installed.  Of course, High quality fonts often come in large sets.
The varying weights turn up most often in the variations between
different kinds of heads, occasionally in other things.  Variations in
optical size occur more frequently, besides in heads, in things like
quotations, footnotes, and captions.  Smallcaps (and sometimes,
all-caps environments) often turn up in headers.  It's nice to be able
to switch easily between roman/italic and other things within
environments like that---it's very nice if things like shape, weight
and so on can be switched independently.  It's also very nice if
optical design sizes switch automatically with the current size.

Consider, for example, something like this:  a book on film with a header:
"Fellini's Roma and 8 1/2".  I'm used to setting something like this
in this way:
Fellini's \it{Roma} and \it{\cvfrac{8}{1}{2}}
(where \cvfrac{}{}{} is a macro that gives me a compound vulgar fraction).
The header is itself in smallcaps, so what comes out is:
Fellini's <small caps>
Roma <italic small caps>
and <small caps>
8 <italic proportional lining> (italic and lining (i.e., uppercase)
because it's a title)
1/2 <italic numerator><italic><italic denominator>
all with minimal effort on the part of the writer.  It seems natural that way.

> Do you plan to switch between oldstyle and lining figures each sentence?

I've certainly done that before, with lining for quantities and
oldstyle for everything else (mostly chapter and page numbers).  Of
course, other sorts of numerals turn up a lot too---the numerator and
denominator variants for fractions, the superiors for footnotemarks
and ordinals, and occasionally inferiors as well.

> Do you need condensed and regular width together in the running text
> or do you want one in the text and the other in the header?

The different widths of my sans is one thing I hadn't counted on using
much (I spend more time in serif) but, since I have the fonts, I
thought it would be nice to be able to use them.  More than the
specific uses I've mentioned above, I'm used to the freedom of being
able to use what I have when the need arises.

> ConTeXt is not a DTP program and has a completely different concept.

I'm aware of that.  I've been using LaTeX for fifteen years now.  I
keep hearing about Context and the work with Luatex and I want to try
it out to see whether I can get higher quality.  Loading and switching
fonts is just the first hurdle.  If it's too difficult to do this in
Context, that's okay.  I realize that it's a work in progress and
these things may be improved someday.  I just want to get as much
working as I can right now so I can try out more things.  I have two
fonts to install.  I've been at it for two weeks.  I realize it might
take a few more weeks and a lot of work.  I know it's not as easy as
dropping them in a folder.  That's okay.  I'll keep at it.

Re: typescripts

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi Michael,

do you need all of your fonts at the same time in your document?

Do you plan to switch between oldstyle and lining figures each sentence?

Do you need condensed and regular width together in the running text
or do you want one in the text and the other in the header?

ConTeXt is not a DTP program and has a completely different concept.

Before we can give you better answers think about what do want
to achieve and where do you need a certain font feature and style,
when you have a clear picture about this ty to describe it and we
try to help you.

Wolfgang

\addff, \subff etc. are rather new commands and therefore only documented
in the source, you're free to add them to the wiki.

I've seen examples like this:
\definefontfeature
 [fea]
 [mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab,
  init=yes,medi=yes,fina=yes,isol=yes,
  liga=yes,dlig=yes,rlig=yes,tlig=yes,

so I think you mean to say that I can apply only one feature to
\definefontsynonym or to \definetypeface.  I tried this and it
checks out.  Thanks---it's nice to see hz working.  Protrusion is
only on the right margin?

You need more typefaces. One for light, another one for condensed etc.

Thank you both.  I want to begin experimenting with this, but there's
one thing that still confuses me.  If I have a font with say, forty different
combinations of weight/width/shape (5x4x2), I will need to come up with
forty different pairs like:
myNewFontSwitch=SerifMyFontVariantName sa 1,
a strain on the poetic imagination, but possible.
It would be nicer though, if I could change weight/width/shape independently
of each other (then I need have only 5+4+2 switches).  For example, when
I see something like:
\rm\tf roman \it italic \bf bold
resulting in:
<book roman> <book italic> <bold roman>,
it's surprising to see that \bf has turned off the italic---you don't
expect a switch
of the weight to have a hidden switch of the shape in it.  Could the typescript
be set up with fewer switches, so that:
\rm\tf roman \it italic \bf bold
would result in:
<book roman> <book italic> <bold italic>,
or, e.g.,
\rm\tf (regular book roman) \cd (condensed) \it (italic) \bf (bold)
would result in:
<regular book roman> <condensed book roman> <condensed book italic>
<condensed bold italic>?



(Also, I'm hoping that having a dozen different sets of font features won't
require twelve times as many switches and feature names as this.  I think
there is some easier method for switching---Hans mentioned \addff{}, but
I can't find anything in the docs.  If that works, that would make two kinds
of switches, one for some kinds of features and another for other kinds.)

You loose the language shortcut but you're still able to change hyphenation
patterns with \language[...], that's not possible with references.

I know, but it's up to Michael to choose the names for his scheme.
It's not very wise to override existing comands anyway; and almost any
two-letter could could be taken for language switching. (\sl should
stand for Slovenian, though it has a lower priority than font
switching.)

If he decides not to use cross-references, it may even work (with zero
guarantee).

Yes, but there are not many (tf, it, sl, bf, bi, bs, sc) and I assume
that they are extensible. See also below.

Maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't it be possible (I didn't test) to
modify font-unk.mkiv and add a few extra definitions to the following?
(Maybe not modify font-unk itself, but just adding a couple of more
definitons to the typescript.)

\definebodyfont [default] [rm]
  [tf=Serif sa 1,
   bf=SerifBold sa 1,
   it=SerifItalic sa 1,
   sl=SerifSlanted sa 1,
   bi=SerifBoldItalic sa 1,
   bs=SerifBoldSlanted sa 1,
   sc=SerifCaps sa 1]

You could add your
  in=SerifYourFontVariantName sa 1,
  bd=SerifYourOtherFontVariantName sa 1,

And then
   \definefontsynonym[SerifYourFontVariantName][YourFontName]

It's true that most people don't do that, but I see no reason for not
extending the model for your particular needs.

typescripts

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hello together!

My typescripts are now online:
http://www.fiee.net/texnique/?menu=0-1-3&lang=en
or directly:
http://www.ramm.ch/fiee/texnique/material/typescripts.zip

The archive contains only typescript files, no AFMs, PFBs,
TFMs, VFs, MAPs or the like.
Put them in texmf(-var|-local|...)/tex/context/user
or in your project directory.

Install the fonts with texfont (or with my also contained
install-font.pl that calls texfont and does some other
nasty work, but it's not very sophisticated, and you must
edit the hardcoded TeXRoot yourself -- I know I should
use kpsewhich, but...).
All file names are supposed lowercase! (I had much
problems with uppercase font names.)

The archive contains typescripts for the huge (but not
so beautiful) font families of URW with their spread
from extra narrow to extra wide, and some other for
ITC, Adobe and Linotype fonts.

I tried to map all fonts to something reachable, e.g.
if a family contained no italics, I mapped the next
bolder font onto italics.

Enjoy!
Grüßlis vom Hraban!
