I'm too studpid for Context...

I'm too studpid for Context...

[Werner Hintze]

I believe, it is possible to use in Conext the otf-fonts I have in my 
computer. I generated the database, the quert shows me, that the font is 
there, but I can not get it in my file. And when I read the chapter in 
the Manual or whatever I can find, I read a lot about Typescripts and 
unterstand absolutely nothing. I find how to make a typescript for 
palatino, which makes no difference, but I don’t unterstand why I 
shall make a typescript and how.

Is there a text which tells step by step what I have to so and why? Now 
the situation is: I have a lot of Fonts and can use just four. That was 
much easier with LaTeX...

The context suite provides the \definefontfamily command which let you select a font (the name of the font goes into the third argument) without the need to write a typescript. Below is a example where I used fonts from my ms office installation.

\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [serif] [Cambria]
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [sans]  [Calibri]
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [mono]  [Consolas]
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [math]  [Cambria Math]

\setupbodyfont[myfontcollection]

\starttext

{\rm\input ward }

{\ss\input ward }

{\tt\input ward }

\startformula
  c^2 = a^2 + b^2
\stopformula

\stoptext

Thank you. But I still Don’t unterstand. I believe, I can write so:

     \definefontfamily [myfamily] [serif] [Palatino]
     \setupbodyfont[myfamily, 10pt]

But then I have no italics, bold or small caps. When I write only:

     \setupbodyfont[palatino, 10pt]

all is well. What’ wromg here?

Which system do you use?

When I use the default palatino font from OS X only the upright style is shown because
there is a bug in the fontloader when the font is in ttc or font format.

In this case context uses the tex gyre patella font (a palatino clone), you can load it with
the \definefontfamily command when you write

    \definefontfamily […] […] [TeX Gyre Pagella]

Aha! Thank you. Now it’s little bit more clear. I use Mac OS X.

Have a nice weekend!
