accessing ital axis in variable font
by Pablo Rodriguez 03 Dec '22

Dear list, using the Literata variable fonts from https://github.com/googlefonts/literata/tree/main/fonts/variable, I have the following source: \definefontfeature[myaxis][axis={weight=500, italic=1}] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Literata][features={default, myaxis}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \input zapf\par \it\input zapf \stoptext Other axes than weight (and only when not invoked as 'wght') don’t work for me (using latest from 2022.12.01 13:05). I have used the following source (it seems to be a goodie from current latest): \usemodule[fonts-variable] \starttext \showfontvariations[font=file:literata-italic.ttf] \showfontvariations[font=file:literata.ttf] \stoptext It reports that the Literata fonts have three (design) axes: wght, opsz and ital. ital is only a design axis. As explained before, they don’t work for me. How can I access to the italic and the optical size axes? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Can I use \starthangaround?

\starthangaround is mentioned in these context garden wiki pages: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/CD_Booklet https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Unexpected_behavior When I try to use examples from these pages I get an error that \starthangaround is undefined. It isn’t in any of my context installation files, including cont-new.tex. I'm using LMTX, installed a few days ago. Is it possible for me to use \starthangaround ? Peter Hopcroft

lmtx upload

Hi, I uploaded lmtx. Most significate: - A slightly different implementaqtion of font modes 'base' and 'none' (hopefully no side effects). - A few math updates (like primes done a bit differently, we made some choices here). - Limited support for colr format 1 as needed for the rather nice: https://gitlab.com/smc/fonts/Nupuram/-/blob/master/docs/README.md which is used like: \startTEXpage[offset=1dk,align={normal,tolerant,stretch}] \definefontfeature[colored][default][colr=9] \definefontfeature[slanted][default][slant=.2] \definedfont[name:nupuramregular*default] \input tufte \par \blank \definedfont[name:nupuramregular*slanted] \input tufte \par \blank % \definedfont[Nupuram-Color.colrv0.otf*colored] \input tufte \par \blank \definedfont[Nupuram-Color.colrv1.otf*colored] \input tufte \par \blank \definedfont[Nupuram-Dots.otf*default] \input tufte \par \blank \definedfont[Nupuram-Arrows-Color.colrv0*,colored] \input tufte \par \stopTEXpage (don't install variable fonts and instances alongside) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
