Fourier Expert Fonts

Fourier Expert Fonts

[Randall Skelton]

Hi all,

Can someone explain how I go about adding the Adobe Utopia Expert
fonts so that ConTeXt is aware of them?  I have the postscript fonts
from Adobe but cannot figure out what to do with them.  Is there a
document that I've missed somewhere?  Poking around in type-enc.tex
suggests that much of the hard work has already been done...

The type one fonts (Mac) were exported using FontLab and renamed to

  ls *.afm *.pfb
  futb8t.afm      futbi9d.afm     futr8t.afm      futri8t.afm    
futs9e.afm      futsc9wt.afm
  futb8t.pfb      futbi9d.pfb     futr8t.pfb      futri8t.pfb    
futs9e.pfb      futsc9wt.pfb
  futb9d.afm      futbi9e.afm     futr9e.afm      futri9d.afm    
futsc9d.afm     futsi9d.afm
  futb9d.pfb      futbi9e.pfb     futr9e.pfb      futri9d.pfb    
futsc9d.pfb     futsi9d.pfb
  futb9e.afm      futc9d.afm      futr9p.afm      futri9e.afm    
futsc9dd.afm    futsi9e.afm
  futb9e.pfb      futc9d.pfb      futr9p.pfb      futri9e.pfb    
futsc9dd.pfb    futsi9e.pfb
  futbi8t.afm     futc9e.afm      futrc9d.afm     futs9d.afm      futsc9hd.afm
  futbi8t.pfb     futc9e.pfb      futrc9d.pfb     futs9d.pfb      futsc9hd.pfb

and tried to run a trivial fontinst script:

  \input fontinst.sty
  \needsfontinstversion{1.926}
  \recordtransforms{fut-rec.tex}
  \latinfamily{fut}{}
  \endrecordtransforms
  \bye

but I don't get any propery list or virtual property list files?  

Apologies if this is trivial... it has been a while since I tinkered
with fonts in TeX.

Thanks,
Randall

This doesn't directly address your problem, but it might help a bit:

IMHO nothing to do with fonts in TeX is trivial. Sometimes there are 
simple solutions, but I've never found solutions that are both simple 
and clearly documented.

Thanks Matt... after reading a few more sites, I was led back to trying:

texfont --fontroot=$HOME/Library/texmf --vendor=adobe
--collection=utopia --makepath --install

This creates a tree in ~/Library/texmf/fonts/*/adobe/utopia where * is
either afm, tfm, type1, or vf.  I also get
$HOME/Library/texmf/map/pdftex/context/texnansi-adobe-utopia.map which
I've added to my pdftex.cfg and run texhash.  Unfortunately, I still
get CM fonts for the caps and there are no old-style figures?

---
\usetypescript[fourier][ec] 
\setupbodyfont[fourier]

\starttext
This is Fourier roman, {\it italic,} {\bf bold,} and {\bi bold-italic.}

{\em \bf This is also bold-italic.}

We have {\sc small caps} and old-style figures: {\os 0123456789}.
\stoptext

Comparing type-enc.tex and the suggestions on Bill McClain's site, the
typescript definitions are somewhat different and I'm wondering if
this isn't the source of my problems:

\definefontsynonym [Fourier-Regular]              [futr8t]   [encoding=ec]
    vs.
\definefontsynonym [Fourier-Regular]          [texnansi-futr8t ] 
[encoding=texnansi]

Any further hints are much appreciated.

Cheers,
Randall

Well, I probably can't help much (I haven't been working w/ fonts much 
recently, either), but here are a couple of thoughts.

That's only useful if you are planning to use TeXnANSI encoding. You 
might try adding --encoding=ec to your texfont invocation. Then I think 
you will get an ec-adobe-utopia.map file.

You mean small caps, I presume? My first guess would be that they're not 
properly referenced in the typescript. As for old-style figures, are you 
sure Utopia is supposed to have them? If so, do you know which font 
contains them?

My experience leads me to think that in general you should reference 
fonts with some encoding prefix. That prefixed name has to correspond to 
a name defined in a map file in your TeX tree; e.g., if your 
texnansi-adobe-utopia.map file defines a name something like 
'texnansi-raw-futr8t.map', then in your typescript, 'texnansi-futr8t' 
should work. Then again, I suspect 'futr8t' might be the wrong name to 
use. Do you have TFM files named 'futr8t.tfm', and so on? Or are they 
named 'utopia'? In the latter case, I think the map file should say, 
e.g., 'texnansi-raw-utopia', and you should say 'texnansi-utopia' in the 
typescript.

If you want to use EC encoding, then I guess you would change every 
instance of 'texnansi' above to 'ec'. By the way, is there a particular 
reason you don't want to use TeXnANSI?

Yes, small caps with oldstyle figures as per:

I thought that it would be easiest if I could somehow install the
Utopia expert fonts in such a way that they could be used with
existing typescript in $TEXMF/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex

and the map in $TEXMF/tex/context/base/type-map.tex

\starttypescript [map] [fourier] [ec]
  \loadmapfile[fourier.map]
  \loadmapfile[fourier-utopia-expert.map]
\stoptypescript

I took the naming convention from the above definitions in
type-enc.tex which, I thought, would make my life a little easier as I
wouldn't need to write the typescript myself.  This is also why I used
'ec' encoding instead of texnansi.  Of course, the definitions in the
map file fourier-utopia-expert.map, suggests that I should have files
named putb8x.pfb which I most certainly do not.
