Hi all, Can someone explain how I go about adding the Adobe Utopia Expert fonts so that ConTeXt is aware of them? I have the postscript fonts from Adobe but cannot figure out what to do with them. Is there a document that I've missed somewhere? Poking around in type-enc.tex suggests that much of the hard work has already been done... The type one fonts (Mac) were exported using FontLab and renamed to ls *.afm *.pfb futb8t.afm futbi9d.afm futr8t.afm futri8t.afm futs9e.afm futsc9wt.afm futb8t.pfb futbi9d.pfb futr8t.pfb futri8t.pfb futs9e.pfb futsc9wt.pfb futb9d.afm futbi9e.afm futr9e.afm futri9d.afm futsc9d.afm futsi9d.afm futb9d.pfb futbi9e.pfb futr9e.pfb futri9d.pfb futsc9d.pfb futsi9d.pfb futb9e.afm futc9d.afm futr9p.afm futri9e.afm futsc9dd.afm futsi9e.afm futb9e.pfb futc9d.pfb futr9p.pfb futri9e.pfb futsc9dd.pfb futsi9e.pfb futbi8t.afm futc9e.afm futrc9d.afm futs9d.afm futsc9hd.afm futbi8t.pfb futc9e.pfb futrc9d.pfb futs9d.pfb futsc9hd.pfb and tried to run a trivial fontinst script: \input fontinst.sty \needsfontinstversion{1.926} \recordtransforms{fut-rec.tex} \latinfamily{fut}{} \endrecordtransforms \bye but I don't get any propery list or virtual property list files? Apologies if this is trivial... it has been a while since I tinkered with fonts in TeX. Thanks, Randall

This doesn't directly address your problem, but it might help a bit: http://havenrock.com/textips/bookfonts.html

IMHO nothing to do with fonts in TeX is trivial. Sometimes there are simple solutions, but I've never found solutions that are both simple and clearly documented. -- Matt Gushee Englewood, CO, USA
Thanks Matt... after reading a few more sites, I was led back to trying: texfont --fontroot=$HOME/Library/texmf --vendor=adobe --collection=utopia --makepath --install This creates a tree in ~/Library/texmf/fonts/*/adobe/utopia where * is either afm, tfm, type1, or vf. I also get $HOME/Library/texmf/map/pdftex/context/texnansi-adobe-utopia.map which I've added to my pdftex.cfg and run texhash. Unfortunately, I still get CM fonts for the caps and there are no old-style figures? --- \usetypescript[fourier][ec] \setupbodyfont[fourier] \starttext This is Fourier roman, {\it italic,} {\bf bold,} and {\bi bold-italic.} {\em \bf This is also bold-italic.} We have {\sc small caps} and old-style figures: {\os 0123456789}. \stoptext --- Comparing type-enc.tex and the suggestions on Bill McClain's site, the typescript definitions are somewhat different and I'm wondering if this isn't the source of my problems: \definefontsynonym [Fourier-Regular] [futr8t] [encoding=ec] vs. \definefontsynonym [Fourier-Regular] [texnansi-futr8t ] [encoding=texnansi] Any further hints are much appreciated. Cheers, Randall

Well, I probably can't help much (I haven't been working w/ fonts much recently, either), but here are a couple of thoughts.
texfont --fontroot=$HOME/Library/texmf --vendor=adobe --collection=utopia --makepath --install

That's only useful if you are planning to use TeXnANSI encoding. You might try adding --encoding=ec to your texfont invocation. Then I think you will get an ec-adobe-utopia.map file.
Unfortunately, I still get CM fonts for the caps and there are no old-style figures?
You mean small caps, I presume? My first guess would be that they're not properly referenced in the typescript. As for old-style figures, are you sure Utopia is supposed to have them? If so, do you know which font contains them?

My experience leads me to think that in general you should reference fonts with some encoding prefix. That prefixed name has to correspond to a name defined in a map file in your TeX tree; e.g., if your texnansi-adobe-utopia.map file defines a name something like 'texnansi-raw-futr8t.map', then in your typescript, 'texnansi-futr8t' should work. Then again, I suspect 'futr8t' might be the wrong name to use. Do you have TFM files named 'futr8t.tfm', and so on? Or are they named 'utopia'? In the latter case, I think the map file should say, e.g., 'texnansi-raw-utopia', and you should say 'texnansi-utopia' in the typescript. If you want to use EC encoding, then I guess you would change every instance of 'texnansi' above to 'ec'. By the way, is there a particular reason you don't want to use TeXnANSI? -- Matt Gushee Englewood, CO, USA

Yes, small caps with oldstyle figures as per: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/utopia/

I thought that it would be easiest if I could somehow install the
Utopia expert fonts in such a way that they could be used with
existing typescript in $TEXMF/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex

I took the naming convention from the above definitions in
type-enc.tex which, I thought, would make my life a little easier as I
wouldn't need to write the typescript myself. This is also why I used
'ec' encoding instead of texnansi. Of course, the definitions in the
map file fourier-utopia-expert.map, suggests that I should have files
named putb8x.pfb which I most certainly do not.
