Digging deep... ;-) While playing with some freeware fonts by apostrophic labs, shy fonts et al., I recognized some limitations of ConTeXt's (or TeX's?) font mechanism. I know this was discussed earlier, but I can't remember/find and answer. I've an overcomplete font family like: \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Covington] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Covington-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [Covington-Rev-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [CovingtonSC] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Covington-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Covington-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [Covington-Rev-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldCaps] [CovingtonSC-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalicCaps] [CovingtonSC-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalicCaps] [CovingtonSC-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlantedCaps] [CovingtonSC-Rev-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlantedCaps] [CovingtonSC-Rev-Italic] You can see, there's SC for every normal font (okay, they're no real small caps, but the like). But I can't access them. There's not even a possibility to access bold caps, is it? Further, why there's only [OldStyle] instead [SerifOldStyle], [SerifBoldOldStyle] etc.? And why don't work these family options (Italics, Bold etc.) with handwriting style? (Some hand fonts have more than one style!) Next question: What does texfont's --expert switch do? Is there already any docs how to write VFs to use expert fonts? (Even for LaTeX, maybe I'd understand it anyway?) If I'd like to setup CE, Greek or Cyrillic fonts, what must I provide? Only an encoding? Is it possible with texfont? Regarding OpenType I'll first read Adam's MyWay. (More questions are in the queue...) Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/
