Hello!
I'd like to (finally) dive into ConTeXt (MkIV) using it for everything and stop using LyX/LaTeX...ConText is installed via context-minimals-git package on Archlinux (thank you Aditya).
The 'Using fonts' section on wiki says:
Handling fonts in LuaTeX can be done
* in a simple but limited way, using the simplefonts module; * in the standard way, using TypeScripts
and I've tried example with Delicious font (too bad there is no Croatian characters available) and it works.
Considering I never learnt TypeScripts mechanism (and managed to forget most of ConteXr I knew when fiddling with it some years ago), I wonder if 'simplefonts' is THE way to go with fonts in MkIV and/or is there something one may miss by not using TypeScripts mechanism?
it depends ... simplefonts uses some heuristics and therefore can make it easier but not all fonts fit into a systematic approach for a long time project making a few typescripts (just use those defined at the end of type-otf.mkiv as template) and using file: is more robust esp as it will nicely fail when something fundamental has changed (names or so) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
