Why can not rm or rmtf fonts be set up by \definebodyfont macro?

These days I have been reading "co-fonts.pdf" because I plan to write a document about ConTeXt MkIV for our Chinese users. When I reached the part of "Defining body fonts", for testing bodyfont model, I made an example as following: %%%% \definefontsynonym[Song][AdobeSongStd-Light] \definefontsynonym[Hei][AdobeHeitiStd-Regular] \definefontsynonym[FangSong][AdobeFangsongStd-Regular] \definefontsynonym[Kai][AdobeKaitiStd-Regular] \definebodyfont[12pt][rm] [tf=Song, bf=Hei sa 1, it=Kai sa 1, sl=FangSong sa 1] \setscript[hanzi] \setupbodyfont[rm,12pt] \starttext 今时之人不然也,以酒为浆,以妄为常, {\bf 醉以入房,以欲竭其精,以耗散其真}, {\it 不知持满,不时御神}, {\sl 务快其心,逆于生乐,起居无节,故半百而衰也}。 \stoptext %%%% I found that "rmtf" font is not "AdobeSongStd-Light", which is always "LMRoman12-Regular". However, "bf", "it" and "sl" fonts all are right. I looked over the log file and saw some messages as following: fonts : preloading latin modern fonts bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded I want to know why I can not override the preloading rm font.

Dunno but it works for a complete definition. \definefontsynonym [Song] [file:AdobeSongStd-Light] \definefontsynonym [Hei] [file:AdobeHeitiStd-Regular] \definefontsynonym [FangSong] [file:AdobeFangsongStd-Regular] \definefontsynonym [Kai] [file:AdobeKaitiStd-Regular] \starttypescript [serif] [default] [size] \definebodyfont [12pt] [rm] [tf=Song sa 1, bf=Hei sa 1, it=Kai sa 1, sl=FangSong sa 1] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [chinese] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Song] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [chinese] [rm] [serif] [chinese] [default] \setscript[hanzi] \setupbodyfont[chinese,rm,12pt] \starttext \startlines \tf 今时之人不然也,以酒为浆,以妄为常, \bf 醉以入房,以欲竭其精,以耗散其真, \it 不知持满,不时御神, \sl 务快其心,逆于生乐,起居无节,故半百而衰也。 \stoplines \stoptext Wolfgang

If I use other font size, it can work, such as: \definebodyfont[11pt][rm] [tf=Song, bf=Hei sa 1, it=Kai sa 1, sl=FangSong sa 1] \setscript[hanzi] \setupbodyfont[rm,11pt] -- Best wishes, Li Yanrui * Gentoo Linux (~x86) * ConTeXt Minimals Beta (2009.03.29 13:28)

Did not work because reset alone use the roman style also for italic and bold and he don't use his own typeface, your dummy mymodern lead us back to the start. Wolfgang

Not really, font switch but regular style only. Wolfgang

sure, but i'm not too eager to add that kind of hackery so loading a new typeface then makes more sense Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

My hack can be done in a cleaner way with \appendtoks\letcsnamecs \csname\newfontidentifier\endcsname\undefined\to\everystarttext but a new typeface makes more sense in Li Yanrui's example as I can see. Wolfgang

Thanks very much for your hints and Hans' tricky. -- Best wishes, Li Yanrui * Gentoo Linux (~x86) * ConTeXt Minimals Beta (2009.03.29 13:28)
