Typeface - simple example

Typeface - simple example

[Peter Schorsch]

Hi,

I reactivated my interest in Context. A lot changed since 
then... so I am became a beginner again. E.g. I don't know / understand how 
to use that Typescript-Framework. I tried to build a simple example, but I 
do not get it to work. 

I crosschecked successfully with simplefonts that the fonts itself are
working (via \simplefont[..]).

In this example I wanted to put the Nimbus Sans fonts on the rm-Definitions 
(just to see that it is working).

I like what I was reading in the wiki, examples, posts and manuels about the 
Typescript-framework - but can anyone help me to understand it really / help 
me to get this simple example to work?

Thanks


------ simple example environment ---

Nimbus fonts are stored under /usr/share/fonts

OSFONTDIR is correct, fonts via mtxrun imported

mtxrun --script fonts --list --all pattern=nimbuss*
shows all the nimbus fonts I used in the example

------ simple example ----------

Re: Typeface - simple example

[Peter Schorsch]

Hi,

finally I figured it out :-)

I entered the working example into the wiki:

	http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Typescript_Example

and linked it into the catogory »Fonts« and at the page »Fonts in LuaTeX« 
under »2.2.3 Very simple example of typescript«. 

You know the best where to link it inside your wiki so feel free to change 
it if you think. Maybe the title also should be changed into »Simple 
Typescript / Typeface Example«. 

Hope it will helps other.

Ciao
