OK, I will be completely happy if I have Termes letters in formulas. They are indistinguishable from Times New Roman in this case. P.S. I could write vectors, if someone explained me how to do it ;) Vyatcheslav

enabling pdftex's microtypographic features with variant old style figures
by Oliver Heins 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

With the help of Patrick's otfinstall I've installed a font for use with pdftex/mark ii. this works fine so far, but i want to use the microtypographic features not only for the base font, but for the old style figures variant, too. \usetypescriptfile[type-corporate] \usetypescript[corporate] \setupfontsynonym[Serif][handling=pure] \setupfontsynonym[Sans][handling=pure] \definetypeface[corporate][rm][serif][corporate][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[corporate][ss][sans][corporate][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[corporate][tt][mono][modern] [default][rscale=1.12] \definetypeface[corporate][mm][math][iwona] [default][rscale=1.02] \setupfonthandling[hz][min=25,max=25,step=5] \usetypescript[sans][hanging][normal] % this creates the 'handling' synonyms \usetypescript[serif][hanging][normal] % this creates the 'handling' synonyms \usetypescript[sans][hz][quality] % this creates the 'handling' synonyms \usetypescript[serif][hz][quality] % this creates the 'handling' synonyms \setupbodyfont[corporate,ss,10pt] %\Var[osf] This works for normal figures, but when I switch to osf with \Var[osf] there is no protrusion nor font expansion.

Hello dear Mojca, Let me mention one thing, while it is not too late ) I use not Termes, but standard Window Times New Roman. And I'd prefer italic latin letters to be taken from it, not from Termes. My working typescript: \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] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [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 \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal, ucgreek=normal] \usetypescript[TimesNR] \setupbodyfontenvironment [11pt] [x=10pt] \setupbodyfont[TimesNR, 11pt]

That's why I mentioned that it might be nice to have "italic" and "roman" as names in math typescripts (math-vfu.lua) for exactly such cases. Mojca

"lc" stands for lowercase and "uc" for uppercase. Best wishes, Vyatcheslav

local footnote (Tables) problem
by Bowen Alan C. 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

I am having a problem placing local footnotes in a table using\placelegend. The attached file will compile only if I comment out (a) header=2pc in \setuplayout or (b) \setupbodyfont[lmodern,rm,10.5pt] or (c) \placelegend or (d) \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} I am stumped as to why this should be so. There is obviously something that I am just not seeing. I am running MK2 using the latest beta in the ConTeXt Minimals. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Alan

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
