But I got another font related problem (or actually two): I installed a TTF-Font using texfont --fontroot=/usr/share/texmf/ --ve=manfredklein --co=thelogovals --ma --in Now the umlauts seem to be at weird position, so \"u does not work, I can get it with \char252, but that is ugly and gives more problems. How do I solve that in a nice way? I guess I would have to write an .enc-file? \char252 is texnansi encoding; you have to setup context to use this font encoding So how do I do this? It looks as it has been done for the font when I installed it, but when I try to use it as \definefont[TitleFont][texnansi-TheLogovals][encoding=texnansi] it does not work. Funnily enough, instead of the ü there is a u, so maybe it tries to construct the ü out of u + dieresis?
try \udiaeresis directly; does it work?
Another problem is that I was trying to install the Scriptina font from www.apostrophiclab.com, but any time I run texfont on either the TTF or the Type 1 font, it hangs (vptovf runs and eats 100% cpu time, apparently doing nothing). But I guess this is not really ConTeXt related, anyone knows where I could report that bug? don't know about vptovf, but i have installed Scriptina already in ec-encoding using fontinst ( i use fontinst instead of texfont, since it gives you more control). I can send you the files including support for LaTeX and ConTeXt. That would be great! Is there a manual on fontinst and ConTeXt? I always thought fontinst was more aimed on LaTeX?
fontinst is completely unrelated to LaTeX, but it supports the creation of LaTeX's font-definition files (.fd). This task for ConTeXt, the creation of typescript files, you have to do yourself. There is a manual for fontinst available, but the best about fontinst is: CTAN:info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide.pdf Jens
