How to use text Calligraphic font using \definefont
Hi, I have the following font definitions, \usetypescriptfile [type-gyr] \definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [cg] [calligraphy] [chancery] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [kurier] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [euler] [euler] [encoding=texnansi,rscale=1.03] \definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [boldface] [mm] [boldmath] [euler] [euler] [encoding=texnansi,rscale=1.03] \setupbodyfont[mainface,11pt] I want to use the Calligraphic font font for headers etc, so I tried \definefont[BigText] [Calligarphic sa 2] \BigText test which gives me the math calligraphic fonts. How do I get the text calligraphic fonts, using \definefont? Another question which is slightly OT: Is there a free handwriting font that matches with palatino? I am making a presentation and would like to write somethings in a "informal" font. Any suggestions? Thanks, Aditya

The virtue of the Context system of font specification lies in the ability to change sizes with \tfb, \tfx etc. For a single size used for e.g, title page I use a regular TeX \font statement. For example after I fought through the AGaramond problem for body fonts, with great help from this list, I still retained some additional special statements like: \font\MySans uhvbo8r at 30pt \font\BigSans uhvb8r at 30pt \font\MedSans uhvb8r at 20pt etc. This is a bit tedious but pretty much mistake proof. And the call for each variant is simple. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com

Thank you. I guess I will have to learn how plain TeX handles fonts. Until now, ConTeXt saved me from the gory details :) But I am still confused. Why does text calligraphic font not have a font synonym? Aditya
