Hi again, When I run:
fc-list
I do see my fonts listed (after a fc-cache -f). What do I need more?
You can either use
\definetypeface[MyFace][rm][Xserif][Font Name] \setupbodyfont[MyFace,12pt]
Ah, interesting. And what exactly is the content of Font Name? for example if fc-list displays: Bitstream Charter:style=Regular
The font name is "Bitstream Charter", the style entry is only needed for italic or bold style and you can write "Bitstream Charter/I" for italic or "Bitstream Charter/B" for the bold style.
does that whole string go into the space for "Font Name"?
Here is a more complex example: DejaVu Sans,DejaVu Sans Condensed:style=Condensed Bold Oblique,Bold Oblique
I would say you can write "DejaVu Sans" for the normal version and "DejaVu Sans Condensed" for the narrow version. Choosing the bold and italic styles should be possible with the feature tags in ConTeXt but I never tried the new font setups for XeTeX in ConTeXt.
I assume, perhaps wrongly, that this is in lieu of creating a typescript.
The whole subject raises interesting possibilities for straying off the traditional TeX reservation as far as font selection is concerned.
I use the TeXLive distro, but with pdftex updated to pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6)
