As this is a first attempt, corrections and suggestions are very welcome. The next goal will be the creation of a chapter that deals with font installation and definitions.
Thank you! I learned something new. But I'd also like to suggest a few changes: Table 1.1 is not clear to me: - I don't understand what you want to say - that the "same" font face may have different names in different font families, like Roman=Normal=Regular? Roman=Antiqua isn't true for a lot of fonts, "Helvetica Roman" is just the Regular face. - Shouldn't the middle column use the same size as the other two, but sans serif? - Why do you center the columns? Perhaps explain that "pt" means "point" and is 1/72 inch. In 1.2 etc. perhaps use italics instead of slanted as example - typographically "slanted" is a monstrosity. Your (or ConTeXt's) definition of typographical terms is a bit unusual: usual(?) vs. ConTeXt clan(?) family family style(s) face alternative i.e. - Computer Modern is a "font clan" (in German: Schriftsippe), some fonts of different styles that are designed to work together - Computer Modern Sans is a font family (in German: Schriftfamilie or just Schrift), a collection of several faces; in old Mac terms a "suitcase" - ... bold is a font face (in German: Schriftschnitt ("cut")), or just a font (file) Perhaps you could *all* font switches in one table, maybe as an appendix. Sorry, I didn't read the whole thing, no time. Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
