Re: Font Problem

Re: Font Problem

[skyhorse--- via ntg-context]

I'm using the linux version which is about a week to two weeks old.
I've installed in in:
     /opt/context-lmtx

Which now contains the directories:
    $ ls /opt/context-lmtx
      -->   bin  context-linux-64.zip  installation.pdf  install.sh  tex

Does this help in getting closer to solving the font problem for ubuntu that I'm using with the stand alone?

That looks right for the root directory but there's a lot more than that for a working install, of course.

In your first email you said you used the command "txrun": I've no idea what that is because I've never needed it.

I just use the 'context' command so all you need do to check the install is working is (from your home directory) to run the command

  $ context --version

If that gives sensible output (about 6 lines) then do

  $ context my_example.tex

where "my_example.tex" is the name of the file containing your maths expression example as plain text. Hopefully you will get a successful run through resulting in a 'my_example.pdf' file containing a typeset version of the expression.

If after that it's still not working then report back to this mailing list with the error details.

It appears that context is not yet installed, you must run the installation
script from the application root:
sh install.sh

Which one, there is one available from the ConTeXt wiki [1] and another 
one from the Pragma website [2].

[1] https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation
[2] https://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm

It helps also to tell us which system you're using (Windows, Linux etc.).

font problem

[skyhorse--- via ntg-context]

I am a beginner and not well versed on font processing needs yet.

I tried the following simple example, but get an error.
I am using the standalone context: "txrun          | ConTeXt TDS Runner Tool 1.32"
Here is my example:

%%%%%%%%
\starttext

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

\stoptext
%%%%%

The error I get back from context is:

"   Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless various parameters have been set. This is
    normally done by loading special math fonts into the math family slots. Your font
    set is lacking at least the parameter mentioned earlier.
    mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 256
"

I don't know what special math fonts there are or what a math family slot is.
Can you help me out.   Or point me to a document that will clear this up for me.

Thank you.

Can you try this:

setdisc(current,pre,post.replace)

replace this with

regenerate the format and try compiling again. I get a pdf which appears

This is with the latest beta and the latest version of the Brill font

font problem

[Alan Bowen]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1673 bytes --]

​I have had trouble processing text with diacritical marks using the more
recent betas and the Brill font.​ Some of this can be remedied by
re-entering the diacritical marks in the source file. (This works very well
with Greek.) But there remain some problem passages.

Consider:

\definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Brill] %[TeX Gyre Termes]

\setupbodyfont[mainface,10pt]


\starttext
ı̓tn und ı̓tn.t               %Line 1
Altägyptischen            %Line 2
\stoptext

Note:
(a) there is no problem at all with other fonts, e.g., Tex Gyre Termes
(b) with the Brill font, the text fails to process when BOTH Line1 and 2
are included.

The console readout is:

tex error       > tex error on line 1 in file
/Users/bowen1/Desktop/TestTeX/fonttest.tex: ?



\page ->\par

             \dosingleempty \page_breaks_process

\strc_pagenumbers_flush_final_page ...\else \page

                                                  [\p_strc_pagenumbers_page
...

\dostoptext ...\strc_pagenumbers_flush_final_page

                                                  \page \the \everystoptext
...

l.1 \dostoptext



\clf_stoptext ->\luafunction \16>>clf_stoptext



l.10 \stoptext




 1 >>

 2     \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Brill] %[TeX Gyre Termes]

 3

 4     \setupbodyfont[mainface,10pt]

 5

 6

 7     \starttext

 8     ı̓tn und ı̓tn.t

 9     Altägyptischen

10     \stoptext

11

I have no idea where the problem here lies, whether it is with ConTEXt or
with the Brill font. So, while a fix would be ideal, a diagnosis that I
could relay to Brill would be good too.

Judging from the traces & locations of those files on my computer -
these fonts were probably either part of some "external" ConTeXt
package (there have always been some "font metrics" files around) or
Hans has removed them from the main ConTeXt distribution.

In any case, try to put  \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] to your
cont-sys.tex (if you don't have it, just create one) and remake the
formats. This will become the default setting in TeX Live 2008 anyway.

This is because urw palatino fonts are not installed on your system. I do 
not know what is the correct way of installing them on MacTeX. You can 
always download them from CTAN but installing fonts manually can be a bit 
tricky.

Another option is to use the TeX-gyre pagella fonts. I think that if you 
just add

\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]

before the typescript definition, it should work.

also, you should apply soem relative scaling (rscale=...)

in the type-* files are examples of such collections of files. Grep for 
"palatino"

Font problem...

[Gilles Pérez-Lambert]

Hello,

I have some problems with using fonts. In the ConTeX test file at the end, `charter' only works (a little) if I use the commented line `\definetypeface[charter][rm][serif][charter][default][encoding=ec]'... But, doing this, small-caps don't work anymore and, strangely, \tt neither!

How does one use a font already described in the type-*.tex files? I tried with Utopia too but no luck. I read mfonts.pdf but I have not seen what I need.


Thanks,

Gilles.
