Subject: Problem installing a new font
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2018 15:28:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.zsbjtuie62epfj@lpr> (raw)

Hello,

-- all attachments packed into one .zip --

probably one of the basic questions and skills in ConTeXt, but the first case for me: how to install a (downloaded third-party) font into ConTeXt:

I downloaded font source files from https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/aurical/ and I unpacked the .zip content, so I have now (see FileList.txt for full info):

----
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\FileList.txt
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\map
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\tfm
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\type1
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.afm
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.afm
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.afm
...
d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\type1\public\aurical\LukasSvatbaSlant.pfb
----

Trying to install the font the easiest way, I also copied files into my ConTeXt dir, so I have also (see FileList2.txt):

----
d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.afm
d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.afm
d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.afm
d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldSlant.afm
...
d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.pfb
d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.pfb
d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.pfb
d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldSlant.pfb
...
----

I tried to follow instructions in 'mfonts.pdf' mentioned at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts, but early I failed with (unknown) "texfont" command cited here frequently.

I also experimented somehow with "mtxrun --make --generate" and "mtxrun script --font --reload --force" and with a simple show-font file which starts with:

----
\definefont[FONT][AmiciLogo.afm]
...
----

but the result is not written by AmiciLogo font.

So - how to make ConTeXt aware of a third-party font and how to use the font in the document?

Best regards,

Lukas
