Fonts that c= ome with different optical sizes do in fact use that table exactly for the = purpose desired by Andr=E9s. Latin Modern does so, Adobe fonts do so and EB= Garamond happens to use that table too. XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX interpret it = correctly (by means of fontspec, IIRC). So perhaps it=92s worth reconsideri= ng this. > = > Best regards, > Georg > _________________________________________________________________________= __________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to= the Wiki! > = > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-co= ntext > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > _________________________________________________________________________= __________ ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
