RE: [NTG-context] Encoding and mapping glyphs from an expert font

Hi Thomas, Adam, and all... >===== Original Message From "Thomas A.Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz(a)uni-bonn.de> >So there is no simple answer to your question. TeX knows to pick up >zerooldstyle instead of zero either >1. because you have a virtual font that says MAPFONT 1, so it knows it >will have to use a different pfb than for the rest, or >2. because the encoding file points to character zerooldstyle within >the ttf. You are right. I just realized that I misunderstood what Hans meant by avoiding virtual fonts: I was assuming all this time that the \usetypescript[map][latin-modern-os][texnansi] setup was mapping latin modern to cmmi10, etc. I looked at the log of a test file for latin-modern-os: no mention of cmmi10, etc. I looked at the pdf, listed all fonts, and boom, only one font, lmr12.pfb. I opened lmr12 in FontLab and, lo and behold, it contains a palette of old style numerals! So what Hans meant was that there is no need for a virtual font to remap lmr itself, not that you could actually map the numerals of lmr to cmmibi without a virtual font. The OldStyle to MathItalic mappings are apparently useful for local switches like \os, but not for global setups. Oh well, I certainly learned a lot about fonts and ConTeXt this past day-and-a-half, so I guess it was not a total waste of time. Now I guess I have to make some virtual fonts (sigh), so it's now on to Thomas' how-to.

Partick, I am currently working in a Windows (XP) environment but if it makes a difference and Linux is more suitable for a Tex environment I move to a Unix based one then. Thanks for the reply.

If you have a current TeX distribution, you are probably ready to go. If not, get one, such as teTeX for Unix or MikTeX for Windows. Tell us more about your environment.

\type{a_b} inside \bTABLE ... \eTABLE
by Mojca Miklavec 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

Hello, there's a very comical behavior of \type{sometextfollowedby_underscore} inside \bTABLE and \eTABLE. For example: \starttext \bTABLE \bTR\bTD \type{a_b} \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext \type{_} or \type{_b} work OK, \type{a_b} outside the table works OK as well. --- I tried to find \def\type in ConTeXt source, but I couldn't and I'm also not advanced enough to interpret the error message below. Any ideas? (I would use the shorter form, \_, but the results are not quite the same. I solved my problem temporary by using \type{a}\type{_b} with quite some (unnecessary ?) "\type"-ing, but I'm still curious about the reason for the strange behavior.) Thank you, Mojca !

Why do margins bleed?
by John R. Culleton 12 Apr '05

12 Apr '05

I have been playing with the very interesting t-layout module written by Patrick Gundalach. When looking at the visualization thus presented I have these questions: 1. Why do the left and right margin areas bleed off the page? 2. Why are the margins offset a little from the main text block? These offsets are defined as leftmargindistance and rightmargindistance. These aspects seem to be related. . -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com
