[NTG-context] Typeface Dolly installed on Linux system, but...

19 Jan 2003

      Dear all, 

with the help from Hans and some tweaking, installed a font called Dolly
on my RedHat system. I've read some good advice on
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html#newfont
although uncommenting the line % \autoloadmapfilestrue
in cont-sys.tex AND adding the new built-map to pdftex.cfg like this:
%   map +texnansi-uw-dolly.map
will generate a lot of 'duplicate / ignored' messages.
Is one of them better?

The file texnansi-uw-dolly.tex gives a nice font-mapping, so everything
seems to be installed just fine.

There is still one mountain/hill to climb: I'm not able to use the font
in my text. I created a type-dolly.tex file, and put it in my path. It
looks like this:

---
%
% Underwear Dolly
%
\usetypescriptfile [type-buy]
\loadmapfile [texnansi-uw-dolly.map]

\starttypescript        [serif] [dolly] [texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Bold]            [texnansi-DollyBol]    
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Italic]          [texnansi-DollyIta]    
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Roman]           [texnansi-DollyRom]    
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-SmallCaps]       [texnansi-DollySmaCap] 
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Ligatuur-Bold]   [texnansi-DollyLigBol] 
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Ligatuur-Italic] [texnansi-DollyLigIta] 
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym      [Dolly-Ligatuur-Roman]  [texnansi-DollyLigRom] 
[encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript        [serif] [dolly] [name]
 \usetypescript         [serif] [fallback]
\definefontsynonym      [Serif]         [Dolly-Roman]
\definefontsynonym      [SerifBold]     [Dolly-Bold]
\definefontsynonym      [SerifItalic]   [Dolly-Italic]
\definefontsynonym      [SerifCaps]     [Dolly-SmallCaps]
\definefontsynonym      [OldStyle]      [Dolly-SmallCaps]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [Dolly]
\definetypeface         [Dolly] [rm] [serif] [dolly] [default]
[enconding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
---

Then I made a small test-file, like this:

\usetypescriptfile[type-dolly]
        \usetypescript[Dolly]
        \setupbodyfont[Dolly]

        \starttext
        This is Dolly roman, {\it italic,} {\bf bold,} and {\bi bold-italic.}

        {\em \bf This is also bold-italic.}

        We have {\sc small caps} and old-style figures: {\os 0123456789}.
        \stoptext

Then texexec --pdf test-file.tex complains

bodyfont       : unknown variant Dolly

Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?
I'm running pdfetex 3.14159-14h-released-20010417-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.3.1) on a RedHat 8.0 Linux system.

Thanks for your time & help,
