Re: [NTG-context] (hindi) font questions

Hi,

I'd like to type set a single hindi/devanagari word in a chapter heading (using standalone MkVI), where I need your help for some questions/problems:

- which (free) font do you suggest ? right now I'm using "Lohit-Devanagari". text font is 11pt Palatino, Lohit doesn't match too good, and a bold version would be nice for the chapter head.

- font size: how do I define this font to get automatic/matching font sizes for both the chapter head and the title of contents ?

right now I use

\definefont [hindib] [Lohit-Devanagari at 24pt] ... \mychapter{Danke -- {\hindib धन्यवाद}}

which gives a reaosonable font size for the chapter title, but of course that's way too large for the TOC:-(

what's the right way to define a "scalable" single font (or two, if you have a suggestion for a normal+bold devanagari font) in ConTeXt ?

You can use the fallback mechanism to use a different font for characters which aren’t available in the main font. \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [Devanagari MT] [range=devanagari,scale=1.2] \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext Danke – धन्यवाद \stoptext Wolfgang
