Thanks Aditya. I will try to work with this and see where it leads me. Will
report with results as soon as I can.

You are trying to follow the installation process of opentype/ttf fonts. 
MTPro2 is a type1 font and to use them with luatex, you need to create a 
virtual opentype font. See $TEMXF/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/mdpus-math.lfg 
file for an example.

Thank you for your tips. I'm using Linux. }

However, as I researched the matter, it seems to me is not a trivial
task... these fonts were made with LaTeX/Plain TeX in mind. I don't even
know how I would implement the font options (like mtpfrak, mtpcal, etc).
The font comes with two versions: Type1 and TFM (no afm). I converted from
Type1 to AFM using fontforge, and the fonts script detects the files....
but I have no idea how to use them. It seems it doesn't detect the fonts as
part of a family... I don't even know where I could start to make this
work. Maybe I will stick to LaTeX for the time being.

Thank you for your time.

Re: Using MTPro2 math Fonts with ConTeXt

[Jean-Pierre Delange]

Andres,

1) If you are using Microsoft Windows, you have to set up the font directory before using ConTeXt, where you have placed your Maths fonts (i.e. in c:/windows/fonts) :
set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts
then type the following in a console ( in this directory : ~/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin) :

context --generate
context --make

and :
mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Then test a file.

2) Note that if your are using some Linux like OS, to set up fonts is quite different :
export OSFONTDIR=~/home/user/.fonts//:/usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype/:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/truetype/:/usr/share/fonts/type1/

As you see, it is better to place the different kind of fonts in a directory in /usr/share/fonts (and in /home/your-user-name/.fonts)

Then :
context --generate
context --make

and :
mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Then test a file.

3) You can delete the font's cache by the following command (it works on both Windows and Linux) :
fc-cache -v -f

Then try again a test file.

Objet: [NTG-context] Using MTPro2 math Fonts with ConTeXt



Hello, List. 


I am using the MTPro2 complete fonts (provided by the publisher house) for typesetting some math books in LaTeX this year. I also want to use ConTeXt to typeset other math books, those that don't come originally in LaTeX. However, the publisher requires that I use the MTPro2 fonts for math, and I've tried using the clues presentend in https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/075938.html to install, but with no avail. Fonts were placed in "context/tex/texmf-local", preserving folder structure; "mtxrun --generate && mtxrun --script fonts --reload" was called after. When that didn't work, tried placing the type1 and tfm folders in my fonts folder (that is called by OSFONTDIR), and again, reload the fonts, but they just don't figure in the list provided by "mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --name --pattern=*". I have not found a way of using this font in ConTeXt, and I really need it (or will be just LaTeX for now). 


Thanks in advance.

Using MTPro2 math Fonts with ConTeXt

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1825 bytes --]

Hello, List.

I am using the MTPro2 complete fonts (provided by the publisher house) for
typesetting some math books in LaTeX this year. I also want to use ConTeXt
to typeset other math books, those that don't come originally in LaTeX.
However, the publisher requires that I use the MTPro2 fonts for math, and
I've tried using the clues presentend in https://mailman.ntg.nl/
pipermail/ntg-context/2013/075938.html to install, but with no avail. Fonts
were placed in "context/tex/texmf-local", preserving folder structure;
"mtxrun --generate && mtxrun --script fonts --reload" was called after.
When that didn't work, tried placing the type1 and tfm folders in my fonts
folder (that is called by OSFONTDIR), and again, reload the fonts, but they
just don't figure in the list provided by "mtxrun --script fonts --list
--all --name --pattern=*". I have not found a way of using this font in
ConTeXt, and I really need it (or will be just LaTeX for now).

Thanks in advance.
