Ahoj,
On November 11 I asked the list how I could generate bold greek math symbols (I have the lucida family installed). Until now I didn't get a response, so maybe I should be more specific.
Let me put it this way: On page 12 of the `Fonts in ConTeXt' manual I find the footnote: `Bold math is already prepared in the core modules, so normally one can do with less code.'
Can anybody tell me what code I have to add and where? I would like to get the following line $\theta = {\bfmath \alpha' x}$ with \theta in normal math and \alpha and x in math boldface?
First of all, the definition of \bfmath is broken (i probably never really tested it) \def\bfmath{\bf\mf\synchronizesymb\mf} i'll come back to more advanced mixed normal/bold switching later (playing a bit with that now); a main switch to bold math is best done with a new typeface: (i just found out that there's a typo in type-syn.tex and type-enc.tex: LucidaNewMath-Demibold -> LucidaNewMath-DemiBold \definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [lucida] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [lucida] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [lucida] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [lucida] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [boldmath] [rm] [serif] [lucida] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [boldmath] [tt] [mono] [lucida] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [boldmath] [ss] [sans] [lucida] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [boldmath] [mm] [boldmath] [lucida] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \switchtobodyfont[mainface] \usemathcollection[lbr] \showmathtoken{Gamma} \switchtobodyfont[boldmath] \usemathcollection[lbr] \showmathtoken{Gamma} \startlines $x=10 \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta$ {$x=10 \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta$} {$x=10 \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta$} $\mainface x=10 \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta$ $\boldmath x=10 \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta$ \stoplines \startformula x=12=\fontbody \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta \stopformula \startformula[mainface] x=12=\fontbody \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta \stopformula \startformula[boldmath] x=12=\fontbody \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta \stopformula \startformula[boldmath,8pt] x=8=\fontbody \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta \stopformula \startformula[boldmath,12pt,small] x=12s=\fontbody \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta \stopformula \startformula[boldmath,small] x=s=\fontbody \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta \stopformula \startformula[boldmath,10pt] x=10=\fontbody \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta \stopformula \startformula[boldmath,11pt,small] x=11s=\fontbody \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta \stopformula \startformula[boldmath,9pt] x=9=\fontbody \Gamma \Delta \alpha \delta \zeta \stopformula \formula[boldmath]{1=2x} Hans
