TeX-Gyre package?

TeX-Gyre package?

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear Hans and gang,

Has TeX-Gyre been released as part of MKIV yet? I was in the processing of  
updating my mswincontext distribution of 2007.08.07 and I noticed that  
cont-tmf does not contain the TeX-Gyre fonts.

The reason I don't want to install the fonts from the official TeX-Gyre  
site is because, before the release of MKIV, I installed them (with the  
ConTeXt support files on that site of course) and they did not all work  
:-( So I'd prefer to install them from a single ConTeXt package/zip so  
that we could all have easier installation (just unzip) as well as a  
common benchmark, especially if things go wrong ;-)

Best wishes
Idris

ConTeXt contains LuaTeX (type-otf, loaded by default) and pdfTeX (type-gyr)
typescripts for the TeX-Gyre Fonts.

What is your problem to download the fonts and unzip them in your TeX directory,
all other things are included in ConTeXt.

You can also wait for new minimals, Hans said he will ship the TeX-Gyre Fonts
because you need them for palatino, times ... with LuaTeX.

Yes, this is so...

Because

a) I'm doing a lot of really sensitive stuff with luatex (OrientalTeX  
Project)
b) I want to keep my MKIV installation as clean as possible
c) If I have future luatex installation problems I don't want to have to  
think about where this or that package came from that caused this or that  
problem. If TeX-Gyre comes fully in a ConTeXt packege I'll have a clean  
benchmark.

These days I am just too busy for a lot of unnecessary package debugging  
etc. if I can avoid it.

That's exactly what I was asking about, I thought it may have ben done  
already ;-)

hm, gyre should be in the minimals; anyhow, i will build new ones when i 
do a major update (i.e. when attribute based color moves into the 
distribution)

I checked (justtex.zip), the tex-gyre fonts are still not there, only  
latin modern otf's...

Ok, I'll wait, I hope it's not too far off ;-)
