Hi, Where should typescript files be stored ? Is it possible to store them in user space, eg in a subdirectory of Luatex cache (when using luatex) ? Thanks in advance! Nicolas

Hi Luigi, thanks for your answer. I'm using the latest mkiv installed over texlive 2008. It is a system directory ; is it the only one ? Anyway I couldn't get my typescript file to work. Here's what I did: (assume TF is http://bitbucket.org/wolfs/typescripts/src/7050bb6918bb/type-exljbris.mkiv ) 1. put the contents of TF in a test document along with \usetypescript[delicious] The document compiled fine and the Delicious fonts were properly included. 2. copied TF in tex/context/user/ as adviced 3. ran mktexlsr, just in case 4. In the test document, removed the contents of TF and replaced it with \usetypescriptfile[type-exljibris] The compilation ran smoothly, I should say too smoothly, because I couldn't find any font-related error message, neither in the output, nor in the log file. And however, ConTeXt used lmodern fonts instead of the Delicious fonts. Cheers, Nicolas

Did you put something like \usetypefile[delicious] or \usetypefile[exljbris]http://bitbucket.org/wolfs/typescripts/src/7050bb6918bb/type-exljbris.mkiv before \usetypescript ? -- luigi

Wow. Now, I'm lost -- and i still can't make it work anyway. Could you explain right from the start ? Let's assume (as it is the case on my system) that the Delicious fonts are properly installed *and* the font database knows about it. Let's assume context = LuaTeX mkiv Now, 1. if I want to create a typescript file supporting some XX fonts, do I need to name the file type-XX.some_extension, or is it only a convention and the file could also be named XX.some_extension or even whatever.some_extension ? 2. what should be the extension for mkiv ? .mkiv ? .tex ? Are both allowed ? 3. Assuming I properly install such http://bitbucket.org/wolfs/typescripts/src/7050bb6918bb/type-exljbris.mkiv file, should I load it using \usetypescriptfile[type-exljbris] or \usetypescriptfile[exljbris] ? 4. What is the relationship between type-exljbris.mkiv and type-exljbris.tex ? Is type-exljbris.tex necessary when using mkiv ? 5. In order to install one or several typescript files, I should first copy them, either in tex/texmf-fonts/tex/context/user or in tex/texmf-project/tex/context/user right ? But then, what is it necessary to run ? - context --generate ? - mtxrun --script fonts --reload ? - both ? 6. How comes ConTeXt can silently substitute my fonts, without even outputting any error message ? How to change this behaviour ? How to disable font substitution ? Hopefully you forgive me for asking so many questions. Beware, answers will be recorded and published in the wiki ;-) Cheers, Nicolas

Luigi, thanks very much for your efforts.

Apparently, \usetypescriptfile[catalog] \usetypescript[catalog] doesn't work, whereas \usetypefile[catalog] \usetypescript[catalog] does.

so does it work now for you ?

Is there any reason for this ?

sure...there is always a reason for things...but I don't remember :) Try to look into the source . -- luigi

The convention for typescript files is to save them as type-.tex and load it either with \usetypescriptfile[type-<...>] or \usetypefile[<...>] where ConTeXt prepends 'type-' when it load the file but \usetypescriptfile is the preferred command because it takes care of \starttypescriptcollection/\stoptypescriptcollection environments.

I Mojca, could you please update the wiki ( http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTex#Installing_typescripts ) with these informations, or elaborate a little bit more ? I'm unsure about the precise directories you're advising (eg, texmf-fonts -> minimals/tex/texmf-fonts/tex/context/user/ ? ) Thanks in advance, Nicolas

Let's assume (as it is the case on my system) that the Delicious fonts are properly installed *and* the font database knows about it. Let's assume context = LuaTeX mkiv

Now,

1. if I want to create a typescript file supporting some XX fonts, do I need to name the file type-XX.some_extension, or is it only a convention and the file could also be named XX.some_extension or even whatever.some_extension ?

You can use <whatever>.tex for the name of the file but the convention is to name it type-<whatever>.tex.

2. what should be the extension for mkiv ? .mkiv ? .tex ? Are both allowed ?

You could write extra files to follow the different naming conventions for XeTeX and LuaTeX and name the files type-<whatever>.mkii/mkiv and load it in the type-<...>.tex file with \loadmarkfile{type-<...>}.

3. Assuming I properly install such http://bitbucket.org/wolfs/typescripts/src/7050bb6918bb/type-exljbris.mkiv file, should I load it using \usetypescriptfile[type-exljbris] or \usetypescriptfile[exljbris] ?

You load in your document type-exljbris.tex, the mkii/mkiv files are loaded from type-exljbris.tex dependend what engine you use and never by yourself.

4. What is the relationship between type-exljbris.mkiv and type-exljbris.tex ? Is type-exljbris.tex necessary when using mkiv ?

See above.

5. In order to install one or several typescript files, I should first copy them, either in tex/texmf-fonts/tex/context/user or in tex/texmf-project/tex/context/user right ?

Yes but I can create a package with all files you can the load from the modules section or with the minimals updater.

But then, what is it necessary to run ? - context --generate ? - mtxrun --script fonts --reload ? - both ?

When you saved the typescript files (tex + mkii/mkiv) in the above folder call 'context --generate' to let ConTeXt know there are new files available. The second command 'mtxrun --script fonts --reload' is used to let ConTeXt look for new fonts but this normally happen by default when you request a new font which is unknown to ConTeXt. The only case (I know at the moment) when you need the command is when you have install a new font which has the same name as a old one but a different file extension, did not happen very often a few fonts are available in TT and OT format.

6. How comes ConTeXt can silently substitute my fonts, without even outputting any error message ? How to change this behaviour ? How to disable font substitution ?

This happens only when the font you requested is not available or you try to load not existing typescripts. Wolfgang

Thanks Wolfgang ! I think pretty much everything you said should now be in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTex , except for font substitution, which I find quite annoying. Anyway... Cheers, Nicolas
