newbie question:
how can I get access to fonts installed outside the TeX tree under MacOSX (10.9 to be precise)?
mtxrun --script font --list --name --pattern=*
shows lots of fonts (so they are recognized by context, I'd guess)
but the simple-minded approach, namely to trying something like
\starttypescript [stix] \definetypeface [stix] [rm] [serif] [stix] [default] \definetypeface [stix] [ss] [sans] [adventor] [default] \definetypeface [stix] [tt] [mono] [cursor] [default] \definetypeface [stix] [mm] [math] [stix] [default] \stoptypescript
\usetypescript[stix] \setupbodyfont[stix,12pt]
fails with `unknown library stix'.
obviously I am doing something wrong -- or is this a luatex problem not being able to find the system fonts?
Hi Jörg,
hi pablo,
I don’t have a Mac, but this works in ConTeXt:
\definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [Helvetica] \definefontfamily [mainface] [mono] [Courier] \definefontfamily [mainface] [math] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface]
yes this seems to work (mostly, at least -- there are still some hickups). thanks a lot for this solution.
You don’t need to define a typescript. \definefontfamily is the command you need.
Typeface should be defined only once ([rm] and [serif] are redundant).
essentially, I copied/pasted this from contextgarden and my understanding was that `rm' and `serif' are aliases? also: why does the typescript definition does not work in the first place?
Default body font size is 12pt.
I think it is easier to invoke typefaces with the system font name. I mean, use the same name as you use in Word or any other MacOS X program.
understood. OTOH, ` mtxrun --script font --list --name --pattern=*' lists the fonts using a different convention (lower case, no blanks), so I am undecided what might be the "best practice" here?
I hope this helps. Don’t hesitate to ask, if you have further questions.
well, see above ;-). joerg
