rscale in latest beta

rscale in latest beta

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

the "rscale" key does not work for my Greek module in the latest beta
ConTeXt  ver: 2009.05.08 21:48 MKIV
The font always stays the same size, no matter what value I give. It  
did work in the version 2009.04.21. I haven't been able to reproduce  
the error in a minimal file yet., but maybe Hans can say which files  
are likely to be the culprit so I can run a diff between these two  
versions?

All best

Thomas

Thanks Hans, I'll see if I can find anything!

OK, first result: if I simply put my old font-ini.mkiv (2009.04.21) in  
place of the new one and regenerate the formats, rscale works again.  
I'll say if I can nail it down further.

how do you use rscale?

\definetypeface [xxxx] [rm] [serif] [times]     [default]
\definetypeface [xxxx] [ss] [sans]  [helvetica] [default] [rscale=5]

\starttext
\setupbodyfont[xxxx] \rm test \ss test
\stoptext

works ok

I think I have found the problem and a test file: the problem occurs  
when I define two fonts with different rscales. In this case, only the  
last defined rscale is taken into account, the other one is discarded.  
Here's the file:

\usetypescript[times]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

\definetypeface [one] [rm] [serif] [palatino]   [default] [rscale=2]
\definetypeface [two] [rm] [serif] [schoolbook] [default] [rscale=0.5]

\starttext

Hello world! \switchtobodyfont[one] One \switchtobodyfont[two] Two

\stoptext

If you switch the two \definetypeface lines, you'll see what I mean.  
And since my module defines both a font "greek" and "altgreek," each  
with its own rscale, that's why I was seeing it in my files and  
couldn't reproduce the error at first.

Not easy to find...

All best

Thomas
