Switch for sans slanted
by Marco 09 May '10

09 May '10

Hi, I've a question concerning switching fonts in setups. How to get a sans slanted style? Have a look at the following table. Command Style Comment \ss sans OK \bf bold OK \ssbf sansbold OK \sl slanted OK \sssl sansslanted \sssl OK, sansslanted doesn't work I've made a minimal example to demonstrate how I use the commands. \starttext {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sans] % OK \section {sans}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=bold] % OK \section {bold}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansbold] % OK \section {sansbold}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=slanted] % OK \section {slanted}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=sansslanted] % doesn't work \section {sansslanted}\input knuth\relax} {\setuphead [section] [textstyle=\sssl] % OK \section {Command: sssl}\input knuth\relax} \stoptext Is there a different command to achieve sansslanted? sansbold works, and bold is an alternative as slanted is, so intuitively I would expect sansslanted also to work. Thanks in advance

current
by Hans Hagen 09 May '10

09 May '10

Hi, As some might have noticed, a new current has been released. One reason in that a texlive code freeze happens, another is that we need such a snapshot in order to do more drastic changes in mkiv as well as be able to use features that we introduce(d) in luatex > 0.60. Taco will post the usual detailed release notes soon. Apart from hotfix currents, the next current will be released around the context conference. Of course there will be betas in the meantime.

mistake in lang-cjk.mkiv
by Tomáš Pustelník 09 May '10

09 May '10

Hi, I have found a glitch in lang-cjk.mkiv in definition of Japanese language name of days are shifted. It begins at line 136, sunday is actualy monday etc. In source code it looks like that: \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!sunday=月曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!monday=火曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!tuesday=水曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!wednesday=木曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!thursday=金曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!friday=土曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!saturday=日曜日] but it should be: \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!monday=月曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!tuesday=火曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!wednesday=水曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!thursday=木曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!friday=金曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!saturday=土曜日] \setuplabeltext [\s!ja] [\v!sunday=日曜日] Also I would like to ask if file lang-spe.mkii have some equivalent in MkIV and where the language specifics are defined (in which file)? Or is it treated in enco files? Thank you for answers. Tomas Pustelnik

Times Roman
by John Culleton 08 May '10

08 May '10

I want to set up Times-Roman at 12pt as my body font. Following (but not understanding) the advice in "Fonts in Context" I set up the following: \definebodyfont[12pt][rm][tf=Serif sa 1] \definefontsynonym[Serif][Times-Roman] \definefontsynonym [Times-Roman] [tir] [encoding=texnansi] \switchtobodyfont[pos,tir] \rm As a result Acrobat Reader shows these fonts in the document: TeXGyreCursor-Regular (Embedded Subset) TeXGyreTermes-Regular (Embedded Subset) 1.Is the document using Times-Roman? 2. Are any of the above statements duplicative, redundant or just plain wrong? 3. Is there a more up to date guide than "Fonts in Context"? -- John Culleton
