Fonts and equations

Fonts and equations

[Lance Larsen]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1401 bytes --]

I have a context document with several equations. One really nice feature
with equations is that by default you can search for variable names in
equation in a PDF reader like acrobat. However, I needed to configure the
document to use arial for the text. Once I do this, the equations are no
longer searchable. I assume something happened to the mathematics font. How
to I change the font for the document text, but keep the math equations
searchable? Is there a way to change the document font, but not affect the
math font? Here is a sample of how I configured the font. The equations are
no longer searchable.

% Load the Arial font values for regular, italics, bold, etc.
\starttypescript [serif] [arial]
  \definefontsynonym [Serif]               [name:arial]
  \definefontsynonym [SerifBold]           [name:arialbold]
  \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic]         [name:arialitalic]
  \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted]        [name:arialitalic]
  \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic]     [name:arialbolditalic]
  \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted]    [name:arialbolditalic]
  \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps]           [name:arial]
\stoptypescript

% Now we define the 'arial' font as an available option
\definetypeface [arial]    [rm] [serif] [arial]

% Set 'arial' 10pt as the default font for the document
\setupbodyfont [arial,rm,10pt]

\starttext

$z_1 = x_1 + y_1$

$a = b + c$

\stoptext

The typeface "arial" you defined has no math font (and no sans and no 
mono font).  Add those and you should be fine:

\definetypeface [arial] [rm] [serif] [arial]
\definetypeface [arial] [ss] [sans]  [modern]
\definetypeface [arial] [tt] [mono]  [modern]
\definetypeface [arial] [mm] [math]  [modern]

I can't search for e.g. the a or z if I compile

\starttext

$z_1 = x_1 + y_1$

$a = b + c$

\stoptext

You probably have to search for 𝑎 (U+1D44E) and 𝑧 (U+1D467).

Well yes, but I have some doubts that Lance meant this.

Henri,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to add the additional fonts, but this
did not seem to make a difference. The math equations render fine, but a
search performed for terms in an equation still does not work when I
specify the font. When I remove the font specification, it works fine.
There must be some difference in the font that is used even if I don't
specify a math font. Any other thoughts about why the math font changes or
how to get a math font that is searchable, or get back to the default math
font?

-Lance
