adventor

adventor

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

I have some problems useing the font adventor from gyre project.
After downloading the fonts and the context map-files from the gyre-
site, I tried the following:

\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]
\definetypeface[adventor][ss][sans][adventor][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[adventor,ss,9pt]
\starttext
\ss Bla
\stoptext

but I get 

! Font \*adventor12ptsstfss*:=TeXGyreAdventor-Regular at 12.0pt not 
loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.

After that I looked into the type-gyr typescript and found 

\loadmapfile[
q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-\typescriptthree.map]

but the map-file is ec-qag.map!

So I changed that to

\loadmapfile[
\typescriptthree-q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}.map]

But the errormessage was exactly the same as befor.

The map-file is found:

> kpsewhich ec-qag.map
kpsewhich ec-qag.map
e:/context/tex/texmf-project/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-qag.map

So I need some tips!

Btw.: Why are there TWO \loadmapfile entrys in type-gyr?
One in

\starttypescript[serif]...
\loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-
\typescriptthree.map]

the other in

\starttypescript[map][pagella,termes,bonum,schola,heros,adventor] 
[all]
\loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-
\typescriptthree.map]
\stoptypescript

Are they both necessary? If so, what's the difference?

Wolfgang

Did you install adventor with texfont ?

Oops, I should study the files more before replying, sorry.

It should get fixed.

The xxx-hh zips you mean? these are absolete.

I _think_ so, but am not completely sure.

I do not know, I am not even sure you should run texfont.

The enc files will (should) be found automatically by pdftex, even
if they are in the dvips folder. But this depends on the previous
question somehow.

'type-gyr.tex' defines!!! adventor. But the encoding-script is wrong, 
as Thomas has pointed out. 

--- excerpt from type-gyr.tex ---
\definetypescriptprefix [n:adventor][TeXGyreAdventor]
\definetypescriptprefix [f:adventor][ag]

\starttypescript [serif] [pagella,termes,heros,bonum,schola,adventor] [ec,texnansi,cs,el,qx,rm,t5,t2a,t2b,t2c,l7x]
  \loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-\typescriptthree.map]

  \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Regular]        [\typescriptthree-q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}r]     [encoding=\typescriptthree]
  ...
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [sans] [heros,adventor] [name]
  \definefontsynonym [Sans]                [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Regular]
  ...
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [map] [pagella,termes,bonum,schola,heros,adventor] [all]
  \loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-\typescriptthree.map]
\stoptypescript
---

I still have some questions:

- A complete (all gyre-fonts) type-script makes sense. Will 'type-
gyr' be fixed, or should I create my own?
- What are the map-files at the gyre-site for?
- Is the second \loadmapfile entry above redundant?
- What is the correct texfont syntax, to install adventors small-caps 
variant?
- There are enc-files in the ??dvips?? subdirectory of the font tree:

 'fonts/enc/dvips/tex-gyre/q-<encoding>-sc.enc

Should I make use from these files? Will they be found there?

Wolfgang

This type of patch to type-gyr.tex should help:

-\starttypescript[serif][palatino][ec,texnansi,cs,el,qx,rm,t5,t2a,t2b,t2c,l7x]
+\starttypescript[serif][palatino,pagella][ec,texnansi,cs,el,qx,rm,t5,t2a,t2b,t2c,l7x]

(you can't define a typeface for an undefined typescript).

Hans doesn't like avantgarde, so for you adventor you will have
to create a completely new typescript, as it was never previously
defined in the core.

Cheers,
Taco

FYI: This is *not* a font map file, despite it's name. The loading gets
triggered by mistake due to this line in type-ini.tex:

\usetypescript[#3,\t!map][#4][\t!name,\t!default,\typefaceencoding,\t!special]%

I had a look at the typescripts and the mapfiles, and I think I see  
why your approach isn't working. All tex-gyre fonts are only defined  
in terms of a [serif] typescript (line 52-66 of type-gyr.tex). So I  
tried to change your minimal example to this:

\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]

\definetypeface[adventor][rm][serif][adventor][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[adventor,ss,9pt]
\starttext
\ss Bla
\stoptext

However, I now get hundreds of warnings in my log (attached below). I  
can't pinpoint it, but it looks like ConTeXt is looking for a file  
qag-name.map which isn't there. Upon further investigation: I get  
these warnings whenever I use one of the new tex-gyre font names. So  
defining a typeface like this:

\definetypeface[main][rm][serif][palatino][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[main,9pt]

works wonderfully. Defining it like this

\definetypeface[main][rm][serif][pagella][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[main,9pt]

should give the identical results, but triggers the warnings.

I must admit that I find this a bit frustrating. The tex-gyre font  
project looks so promising, but users need a simpler syntax to use  
the fonts (I know we want need this anymore with luatex, but it needs  
to be fixed anyway).

All best

Thomas

I tried both!

Because there were map-files for conTeXt at the gyre-site and a 
typescript with ConTeXt, I thought I just have to copy everything to 
the right place.

But obviously the gyre-map-files don't fit with the type-gyr script.

On the other site, installing the fonts with texfont works, but I 
don't have found the trick to install the small caps variant, and the
naming is not yet the same as in type-gyr (I have to experiment a bit 
with this!)

But I like to know, what I else have to do when installing these 
fonts manuelly.

Wolfgang
