Re: [NTG-context] the new simplefonts stuff

5 Sep 2014

      Wolfgang's wee bit of code is brilliant for finding out the details of 
font names.  The icing on the cake would be if it printed the details in 
its own font so we could see what it looked like.

But in any case a useful bit of code.  Thanks Wolfgang.

Best Wishes

Hello, snow! Won't you go, and return in december?

Below is a short example which shows the different names in a font, as you can
see in the output the names in each font are different except from the familyname
entry which is the same for all.
\definefontfamily [five] [rm] [URW Bookman L]
\setupbodyfont [five]
\starttext
\dolookupfontbyspec{fontname=urwbookman*}
\dorecurse{\dolookupnoffound}
   {\starttabulate[|l|l|]
    \NC Familyname \EQ \dolookupgetkeyofindex{familyname}{#1} \NC\NR
    \NC Fontname   \EQ \dolookupgetkeyofindex{fontname}{#1}   \NC\NR
    \NC Fullname   \EQ \dolookupgetkeyofindex{fullname}{#1}   \NC\NR
    \NC Filename   \EQ \dolookupgetkeyofindex{filename}{#1}   \NC\NR
