Hi,
I'm currently using ConTeXt version:
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file: /home/verhaag/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context | current version: 2013.08.11 20:23
I'd like to use the Advent Pro font, so I downloaded the font and have 7
ttf files available.
After looking around for some manual I found: "Integrating TrueType
Fonts into ConTEXt" by Thomas A. Schmitz.
Immediately I run into problems when trying to run the texfont command.
My Linux (ubuntu 14.04) says:
The program 'texfont' is currently not installed.
I did a standalone installation years ago of this version of ConTeXt,
and don't dare to upgrade because I might run into other issues, sorry!
Any hints on how to procede installing the Advent Pro font to this
version of ConTeXt are very much welcomed!
Regards,
Gerard

Ah, you like old systems! Ubuntu 14.04 and context 2013, what a wonderful combination, back in the days! texfont is still part of the distribution, but you will have to invoke it with its full path. I just tried (with a current standalone), and it still works as expected. I had to copy texnansi.enc into the working directory, and then I invoked
perl ~/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/perl/texfont.pl —fontroot=<> —ve=<> —co=<> --en=texnansi
Try this (replacing the variables with your values, of course).
Thomas

You should update your context installation. This is more than 5 year old!

That is meant for MkII. Unless there is a specific reason for you to use
MkII (like working with an old setup being used in production), you should
use MkIV. One of the advantage of MkIV is that it is MUCH easier to work
with TTF and OTF fonts.

You can install standalone in a parallel directory. If something goes
wrong with the installation, you can continue using your current
installation.

Hi,
Thanks for your advice; but what is the correct MkIV procedure? Is it
the one described at: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX?
I understand that the texfont way of doing it is out-dated!
Regards,
Gerard
