(/home/diego/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-xtx.tex) ! Font \*map7ptrmscss*:=CharterBT-SmallCap at 6.64998pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found.
That's because of
\definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman [name:CharterBT-Roman] % or: [bchr8a] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Italic] [name:CharterBT-Italic] % or: [bchri8a] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Bold] [name:CharterBT-Bold] % or: [bchb8a] \definefontsynonym [Charter-BoldItalic] [name:CharterBT-BoldItalic] % or: [bchbi8a] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Slanted] [name:CharterBT-Italic] % or: [bchri8a] \definefontsynonym [Charter-BoldSlanted] [name:CharterBT-BoldItalic] % or: [bchbi8a] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman-Caps] [name:CharterBT-SmallCap] % or: [bchrc8a]
The fonts are on http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/charter/ and I can add them, but there is still one problem.
Since fonts are defined this way, you would need to configure fc-config to look for fonts in that directory in order to find the font. Or one would need to change the definition.
Hans - what would be the implications for LuaTeX if name:CharterBT-Roman was changed into file:bchr8a ? Not suggesting that yet, only asking.
Now that I'm looking at it again at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Charter:
This has resulted in derivatives of Bitstream Charter becoming available, including Charis SIL.
What about adding http://scripts.sil.org/CharisSILfont to the distribution, possibly including TeX Live, and replacing the definitions to use CharisSIL in XeTeX/LuaTeX instead of Bitstream Charter? The same move that has happened with TeX Gyre? Any comments? Suggestions? Mojca
