Hi, I'm using the Fourier Utopia Fonts together with the latest stable i-Installer ConTeXt package. I'd like to access Fourier's upright greek alphabet, especially the large omega. However, the font including that character doesn't seem to be used in math-fou.tex. I tried all characters of mi (standard math) as well as many characters of sy and the ex one (using \definemathsymbol [otheromega] [ord] [...] [...]). I guess I'd have to define a font synonym pointing to the right font file, but my attempts didn't produce anything but garbage. At the moment I'm using \getglyph{fourier-ml}{173}, which is stupid but functional. So, can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Sebastian

I'm not a big fourier user, but the key is with the definition of "Fourier-Math-Letters-Italic". Hans uses futmii as the default, and you want to use futmi. (try \showfont[futmii] \showfont[futmi] to see the difference!) Unfortunately, I couldn't find a quick hack to override Fourier-Math- Letters-Italic using the pre-existing typescripts, so attached is a new typescript file, to be used like: \usetypescriptfile[type-fup] \usetypescript[fourier-upright][ec] \setupbodyfont[fourier-upright] \starttext \showmathcharacters \stoptext [If you wanted to use upright capital greek letters and italic greek miniscules, then that would mean assigning a fifth math font and writing a new math-fou variant.] Hope that helps! adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Wow, that was quick. Thanks alot for the typescript; combining upright greek capitals and the italic miniscules is exactly what I want; I think I should now be able to do that using the script as a starting point. Thanks again! Sebastian
