I am looking for a good way to convert these fonts to type1, but textrace and mftrace don't run under windows and the results of mf2pt1 are not (yet) ok. I am working on this. Has anybody ever tried to rewrite metafont to produce type1 fonts? Wolfgang

MKIV: format file
by Peter Münster 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hello, this time I tried justtex.zip and linux64tex.zip. The result is quite similar to my previous problem report, but the error message is different, this time I get: Error in lua file loading: /tmp/luatex-cache/context/4913490bb74a73b0e92e743f174b9db3/formats/cont-en.luc: bad header in precompiled chunk LuaTools | running command: luatex --fmt="/tmp/luatex-cache/context/4913490bb74a73b0e92e743f174b9db3/formats/cont-en" --lua="/tmp/luatex-cache/context/4913490bb74a73b0e92e743f174b9db3/formats/cont-en.luc" "test.tex" This is, what I did: - unzipping justtex.zip - unzipping linux64tex.zip - . ./setuptex - texexec --make --alone --luatex (or texexec --make --all --luatex) The last command does not create any cont-en.fmt file. Any ideas? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

wierd problem

Hello, I use \usetypescriptfile[mytypescripts] \usetypescript[acaslonpro] in the main file. The mytypescrips file looks like %Adobe Caslon Pro typeface \starttypescript [serif] [acaslonpro] \definefontsynonym [ACaslonProRegular][name:ACaslonPro-Regular][features=default] \definefontsynonym [ACaslonProItalic][name:ACaslonPro-Italic][features=default] \definefontsynonym [ACaslonProBold][name:ACaslonPro-Bold][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [acaslonpro] \definefontsynonym [Serif][ACaslonProRegular][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic][ACaslonProItalic][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold][ACaslonProBold][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [acaslonpro] \definetypeface[acaslonpro][rm][serif][acaslonpro][default] \stoptypescript If to remove start/stop around \definetypeface, luatex enters infine loop. Best, Vyatchelsav

mimimal typescripting
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 14 Aug '07

Hello, I'm wondering why before defining a typeface I must define a synonym for it. For example, my minimal working definition for Vladimir Script fontface is \starttypescript [serif] [vladimirscript] \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:vladimir][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [vladimirscript] \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [vladimirscript] [default] \stoptypescript Being XeTeX-adherent, it is a pain for me write that all for every font I use. Why I cannot specify it as simply as \starttypescript [vladimirscript] \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [name:vladimir] [default] \stoptypescript or better just \definetypeface [vladimirscript] [rm] [serif] [name:vladimir] [default] without any synonyms? -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

images in table - luatex freezed

Hi This code causes context/luatex to freeze using 100% of CPU. \useexternalfigure[img_a][img1.png][type=png] \useexternalfigure[img_b][img2.png][type=png] \starttext \placefigure[][]{Two images, itemized decsription} { \setupbodyfont[9pt] \starttable[|cs(1cm)|c|] \NC \externalfigure[img_a][height=5cm] \NC \externalfigure[img_b][height=5cm] \NC\NR \NC (a) \NC (b) \SR \NC \use{2}\ReFormat[l]{\hskip 4em (a) A very nice woman.} \AR \NC \use{2}\ReFormat[l]{\hskip 4em (b) An ugly man.} \AR \stoptable } \stoptext Any idea why? The code worked in context/pdftex from texlive. It has nothing to do with particular images (tried different png, jpg). Source code and sample images are attached. ZS PS. Something similar to following should be produced: \placefigure[][]{Two images} { \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[img_a][height=5cm]}{(a) A very nice woman.} {\externalfigure[img_b][height=5cm]}{(b) An ugly man.} \stopcombination }

OpenType typescripts
by Pascal de Bruijn 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi, I'm trying to write my own OpenType installation script. So far I have run otftotfm to install my fonts and create tfm files. Now I need to generate a typescript files, but the documentation I've read sofar puzzles me. >From a base font "AGaramond-Pro" containing three weights: - Regular - Semibold - Bold I generate two versions: - tabular lining figures - proportional old style figures Except for non-italic variants of Regular and Semibold which have two additional versions: - small caps + proportional old style figures - caps to small caps + small caps + proportional old style figures How should I write my typescript so I can easily choose between the versions of the fonts?
