Re: [NTG-context] Problem installing a new font

Hi, I downloaded the font and put all *afm and *.pfb files into ../texmf-fonts/data/public/aurical I reloaded the database with mtxrun —script fonts —roload. Then I was looking for the font in the database: mtxrun --script font --list --file --pattern=LukasSvatbaSlant.afm Strange enough I get no result. I tried to find the new cache I generated with the reload command. I can not find a new cache in ,,/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context, what I see there is only a cache which has a date from 2013… I am puzzled, Where does Context nowadays deposit the cache files? Of course under these conditions Lukáš’s example does not work. — I think that the mechanism for loading type1 fonts works, I tried Lukáš’s MWE with Dolly and that does work nicely. Best wishs Willi

Hello,

probably one of the basic questions and skills in ConTeXt, but the first case for me: how to install a (downloaded third-party) font into ConTeXt:

I downloaded font source files from https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/aurical/ and I unpacked the .zip content, so I have now (see FileList.txt for full info):

---- d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\FileList.txt d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\map d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\tfm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\type1 d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.afm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.afm d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.afm ... d:\Lukas\ConTeXt\Fonts\Aurical\fonts\type1\public\aurical\LukasSvatbaSlant.pfb ----

Trying to install the font the easiest way, I also copied files into my ConTeXt dir, so I have also (see FileList2.txt):

---- d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.afm d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.afm d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.afm d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\afm\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldSlant.afm ... d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogo.pfb d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBold.pfb d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldRslant.pfb d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf\fonts\type1\public\aurical\AmiciLogoBoldSlant.pfb ... ----

I tried to follow instructions in 'mfonts.pdf' mentioned at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts, but early I failed with (unknown) "texfont" command cited here frequently.

I also experimented somehow with "mtxrun --make --generate" and "mtxrun script --font --reload --force" and with a simple show-font file which starts with:

---- \definefont[FONT][AmiciLogo.afm] ... ----

but the result is not written by AmiciLogo font.

So - how to make ConTeXt aware of a third-party font and how to use the font in the document?

Best regards,

Lukas
