Heros condensed and Font switching

Heros condensed and Font switching

[Wolfgang Murth]

Hi Wolfgang, Hi all,

My last post regarding Heros Condensed leads me to another unsolved mystery. I'm working on converting my lecture papers from latex
to ConTeXt, where I also use a condended font, but only for Excel formulas and not as main body font .
For example 
>	{
>		\changefont{cmss}{sbc}{n}\small%
>		\begin{tabbing}%
>			\hspace{1cm}\=\$E\$9:\$E\$13 <=\$D\$9:\$D\$13\\
>			\> {\$F\$18:\$H\$18 >=0}\\
>		\end{tabbing}
>	}%

My question is how I can change a font only for a particular text. Not only normal->condensed, even change the complete font like
using Zapf for a special markup in a Helvetica/Heros text.

Thanks for you help.

Wolfgang Murth

Hi all,

Sorry for popping up that question again, but has anybody a hint for me how to solve it or where I can read more about it?

I'm afraid your question is just too vague to allow for meaningful answers. The LaTeX snippet doesn't help because we use ConTeXt. And the answer to "how can I change a font only for a particular text" is \bgroup\switchtobodyfont[something] text \egroup, but I'm sure you know this command. So unless you give us meaningful details or better yet an example, it will be difficult to help you.

Hi,

Load the necessary typescripts at the beginning of the document.

For longer pieces:
\switchtobodyfont[....][...]

For short pieces:
\definedfont[fontname at 12pt]

Kind regards

Willi

Re: Heros condensed and Font switching

[Wolfgang Murth]

Thank you all for your input at suggestions. Before I posted my question I did a search in the Wiki and the mailinglist archive but
didn't find a clue. 

Finaly I got a working minimal example. The with \definedfont[file:...] I found out that I can use every Font that ist installed on
my Windows System.

Is this a correct way for font switching for a special markup or is there a better or more correct way?

kind regards
Wolfgang Murth

depends on your need,

no need for \language as you already use \mainlanguage

\def\xlf#1{{\definedfont[SansBold sa 1]#1}}

(current SansBold at bodyfontsize)

\def\xlf#1{{\definedfont[Bold sa 1]#1}}

(current Bold at bodyfontsize)

best use some uppercase in yoru own names as \xlf can be a pretty 
important low level command some day

Hi Hans,

>depends on your need,
Main text in one font (Helvetica), Excel Formulas in another font (Heros Condensed).

>no need for \language as you already use \mainlanguage
ok

>\def\xlf#1{{\definedfont[Bold sa 1]#1}}
With that I just use the bold style of the current font and not the condensed font or have I seen that wrong?

kind regards

With simplefonts you can say (untested):

\mainlanguage[de]

\usemodule[simplefonts][size=10pt]

\setmainfont[Tex Gyre Heros]

\definesimplefonttypeface[excelfont][TeX Gyre Heros][weight=condensed] % will be width=condensed in the next release

\definesimplefont[excelformat][TeX Gyre Heros][weight=condensed,alternative=bold]

\define[1]\XLF{\groupedcommand{\excelformat}{}}

\setuptables[bodyfont=excelfont]

\starttext

\chapter{Excel Time and Date}

When using Time and Date calculations with Excel important functions are \XLF{DATUM} and {\XLF ZEIT}.

\starttable[|l|l|]
\NC text       \NC more text 	 \NC\AR
\NC other text \NC fill the rest \NC\AR
\stoptable

\stoptext

Wolfgang
