Actually a very long time ago I bought those fonts from yandy.com <http://yandy.com/>, but those were designed to work only on a Mac OS 9 (yes I am so that old… :-). Since I am sure some people on the mailing list have an experience and good advices to share, I would appreciate having their opinion.

I guess the file type-imp-lucida-opentype.mkiv is there to take care of everything when using the font: so once I have the fonts, and ConTeXt knows where they are, can I use them just by saying \setupbodyfont[lucida] or are there other commands to issue? Many thanks for your precious help: OK ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
