Dear gang,
It seems that ConTeXt does not currently implement optical scaling for Latin Modern -- at least not by default. For example:
======= \startTEXpage[offset=1em] Test {\tfa Test} {\tfb Test} {\tfc Test} {\tfd Test} {\tfx Test} {\tfxx Test} \stopTEXpage =======
In the log we have
======= mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 2 files: latinmodern-math.otf, lmroman10-regular.otf =======
Is this behavior intentional? The needed sizes are certainly available (/texmf/fonts/data/gust/lm).
yes, but there are also typescript that define the sizes (made more sense on low res printers) .. the current defaults have been so for many years (so the fact that you didn't notice ...) these sizes are mostly for math and we have a 10pt lm math with built in scritp and scriptscript
This issue came up while trying to test/implement something else. Although Computer Modern / Latin Modern is perhaps hardly popular for contemporary publication work, a full implementation of the full palette of optical sizes is still useful as a benchmark, etc. well you can load the design size typescript
(likely we will go for \enableexperiments[fonts.compact] anyway which is also more efficient) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
