How about this ... no quotes in specs, only file: or name: in front of the name, and for xetex we default to filenames using file:
I would default to "name:"
no, because that way we can use existing context typescripts and i'm not going to add a complete extra set now (clows down too much); so, if names are used prefix it with name:
I need to try to run these, but I like the syntax. Although it would probably make sense to default to "name" (so: no brackets, \def\fontfilesome#1{"#1"}) under XeTeX. Those fonts that come as .otf are relatively rare and for those (I have Polish fonts in mind) ConTeXt can provide ready typescripts with "file:" prefix. I assume that for most users it would be an overhead having to write "name:" for each single font that they want to use, and most such fonts are probably installed on the system.
There is one more thing though. I'm taking these from Adam's notes on the wiki:
\definefontsynonym [DidotCaps] ['Didot:mapping=tex-text; Letter Case=Small Capitals;Ligatures=!Common Ligatures'] [encoding=uc]
that will be done differently, with a features key: \definefont[...][...][features=] and lowlevel that one will be xetex'd or luatex'd Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
