Re: chancery font

[Idris Samawi Hamid <ishamid@colostate.edu>]

Hi Ciro,

I don't know about Garamond (does it actually come with TeX/ConTeXt?) but 
there is an issue with Zapf in the latest ConTeXt; the tfm files are 
corrupted. Try the following (it worked for me, thank you Hans):

remake the metrics

texmfstart texfont.pl type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --ven=urw -col=zapfchan

refresh fndb and then try

==========================
\definetypeface [zapf] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery]
\switchtotypeface [zapf] [12pt,cg]

\starttext

Zapf Chancery

\input tufte.tex

\stoptext
==========================

Maybe Garamond has a similar problem (assuming the font is actually 
present on your system) and you can try the above with Garamond as well...

If Garamond is present, can you point me to its location, typescripts, 
etc? I'd like to try it...

Best
Idris
