Hi here.
I was trying to use my own math font in Mark IV, inside distribution TeX Live 2013, using typescript, but failed.
The way I am thinking, I might use an fallback way. For most of the math symbols, I would use the provided palatino stuff, but for MathRoman and MathItalic, I'd like to use the same font as of normal text, let's say Minion Pro. As I'm looking into a normal typescript file, I thought of a few options:
First of all, just overwrite the Palatino typescript, like follows:
\starttypescript
\definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [name:minionproregular]
\definefontsynonym [MathItalic][name:minionproit]
\stoptypescript
It gives out "Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set ..."
Another way I'm trying, is to use some fall back mode.
\starttypescript [math] [palatino]
\setups[font:fallback:math]
\definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [name:minionproregular]
\definefontsynonym [MathItalic][name:minionproit]
\stoptypescript
It also doesn't work. The result was same as the previous.
And I also tried
\starttypescript [math] [palatinofb]
\usetypescript[math][palatino]
\definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [name:minionproregular]
\definefontsynonym [MathItalic][name:minionproit]
\stoptypescript
This also makes no difference.
In the main typescript, I uses
\definetypeface[MinionPro-Mixed][mm][math][palatino][default]
So I cannot find out how to fulfill my need. I guess there might because of a missing map file, but for a roman font, do we need any? Since the following serif definition works fine:
\definefontfeature[zh][mode=node,script=hang,lang=zhs]
\starttypescript [serif] [MinionPro-Mixed]
\definefontfallback[Serif] [name:minionproregular][0x0000-0x0400][force=yes]
\definefontfallback[SerifItalic] [name:minionproit] [0x0000-0x0400][force=yes]
\definefontfallback[SerifBold] [name:minionprobold] [0x0000-0x0400][force=yes]
\definefontfallback[SerifBoldItalic][name:minionproboldit] [0x0000-0x0400][force=yes]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:fzshusongz01][fallbacks=Serif] [features=zh]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [name:fzheib01][fallbacks=SerifItalic] [features=zh]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [name:fzheib01][fallbacks=SerifBold] [features=zh]
\definefontsynonym [SeriBoldItalic] [name:fzheib01][fallbacks=SerifBoldItalic] [features=zh]
\stoptypescript
As I've seen, normally, a fallback definition of typescript is used in serif/sans/mono, but there comes no successfull example for fall back of math font. Also, there is fall back for a font, but not an entire typescript.
And build a new math font is obvious beyond my competent.
So how to deal with this problem? Is there a solution?
