Re: [NTG-context] Math setup with Times (Termes)

Hello, I could miss the point, but if the problem is in the map file (original-youngryu-tx.map), we can contact its creator: http://www.utdallas.edu/~ryoung/ Or it is mkiv core files that need to be fixed? And as a suggestion: it would be very handy to have a command like \setupmathematics[lcroman=italic, ucroman=italic] Regards, Vyatcheslav

Define tex macro on the context command line
by John Devereux 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, Is it possible to define a tex macro on the context command line (MkII)? For example: texexec manual.tex --define Title "X99 Operators Manual" so that \Title would expand to the appropriate text? (I know about modes I think) -- John Devereux

gtamac symbols and mkiv
by Jörg Hagmann 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

I have been using symbols (such as "Fleuron") from the gtamacfonts in an annual publication. Trying to change to mkiv: what exactly should I do to install them? So far, my attempts were not successful. (Attempts meaning: copying the tt fonts and the type- and other files that seem to have anything to do with it into my minimal installation, reloading the fonts and remaking the formats). Thanks, Jörg

Oh, sorry about my previous post with font test snippet. Instead, I have a problem with upright Latin letters: I need them to be italicized. Vyatcheslav

Hi, This snippet from Wolfgang proves that txmia.tfm does contain upright greek letters! What can I hack to obtain them? Maybe modify original-youngryu-tx.map? Regards, Vyatcheslav \loadmapfile[original-youngryu-tx.map] \font\test=txmia.tfm \dorecurse{255}{\recurselevel: {\test\char\recurselevel}\par} \bye

Math setup with TimesNR
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hello, I still need help with math. I created the following setup file which utilizes Windows standard Times New Roman font. In general, math symbols are displayed correctly (!), but Latin letters in formulas are not italic but regular. Where should I start tuning up to get italic Latin letters? \starttypescript [serif] [TimesNR] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [times.ttf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [timesbd.ttf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [timesbi.ttf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [timesi.ttf] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math][TimesNR][all] \definefontsynonym[MathRoman][txmath@tx-math] \loadmapfile[original-youngryu-tx.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [TimesNR] \definetypeface [TimesNR] [rm] [serif] [TimesNR] [default] \definetypeface [TimesNR] [mm] [math] [TimesNR] [default] \stoptypescript Regards, Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal] problem with default font
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hello friends, I look at the conversations on the list and begin feeling scared. I have a serious project with very tough deadline and heavy use of math. Our publishing department reject everything that does not meet their standards. Initially, I relied upon to possibilities: a) use standard LM fonts, but with upright greek b) use Times (Termes) letters for math, but with italized Latin Never thought that either could ever be a serious problem. Does anybody control the situation? Or my hopes are delusive and my project doomed? P.S. This is really sad, no whimpering :( Regards, Vyatcheslav

All, I've recently been playing with a fascinating package tkz-2d (http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/tkz-2d/ and http://altermundus.fr/pages/download.html) I've been using: \usemodule[tikz] But I am wondering how I would use tkz-2d in Context.
