Dear syndicate, [Garamond is a nice font. Now that there is a free version, this would be a nice default font to add to the next ConTeXt distribution. In the meantime:] How to cook Garamond (my apologies to the experts for the verbosity): 1. Download ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/garamond.zip (actually, you only need the pfb and afm files, unless your texfont does not work); 2. place ONLY the afm and pfb files in an empty temporary directory; 3. from /temp>, run texfont --ma --in --ve=urw --co=garamond --show you may verify the installation of your font by examining texnansi-urw-garamond.pdf. 4. If texfont does not work, you will have to do more work-> the zip package contains tfms etc, and here is a map file you will need: =============texnansi-urw-garamond.map============== % You need to add the following line to pdftex.cfg: % % map +texnansi-urw-garamond.map % % Alternatively in your TeX source you can say: % % \pdf {+texnansi-urw-garamond.map} % % In ConTeXt you can best use: % % \loadmapfile[texnansi-urw-garamond.map] texnansi-raw-ugmm8a GaramondNo8-Med 4 < ugmm8a.pfb texnansi.enc texnansi-raw-ugmmi8a GaramondNo8-MedIta 4 < ugmmi8a.pfb texnansi.enc texnansi-raw-ugmr8a GaramondNo8-Reg 4 < ugmr8a.pfb texnansi.enc texnansi-raw-ugmri8a GaramondNo8-Ita 4 < ugmri8a.pfb texnansi.enc ========================================================= If texfont works, ignore step 4; 5. Now write to file the following typescript: ==========================type-ugm.tex====================== % raw fonts \starttypescript[serif] [garamond] [texnansi] \definefontsynonym[Garamond] [ugmr8a] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[GaramondItalic] [ugmri8a] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[GaramondBold] [ugmm8a] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[GaramondBoldItalic][ugmmi8a] [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript %Names \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [name] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [Garamond] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [Garamond-Bold] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [Garamond-Italic] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][Garamond-BoldItalic] \stoptypescript %Synonyms \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [texnansi] \definefontsynonym [Garamond] [\typescriptthree-ugmr8a] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Garamond-Bold] [\typescriptthree-ugmri8a] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Garamond-Italic] [\typescriptthree-ugmm8a] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Garamond-BoldItalic] [\typescriptthree-ugmmi8a] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript % maps \starttypescript [map] [garamond] [texnansi] \loadmapfile[texnansi-urw-garamond.map] \stoptypescript% % typefaces \starttypescript [URWGaramond] \definebodyfontenvironment [urwgaramond] [default] [interlinespace=2.8ex] \definetypeface [urwgaramond] [rm] [serif] [garamond] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [urwgaramond] [ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [urwgaramond] [mm] [math] [palatino] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [urwgaramond] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript =========================== If there are better/more aesthetic choices for sans and math, let me know-) 6.
