Hi. I'm using the Debian packaged ConTeXt, version 2017.05.15.20170613-2. I have the Neo Euler OTF font and mtxrun --script fonts finds it. I am unable to get the following to work: \definefontfamily [myfamily] [math] [Neo Euler] \setupbodyfont[myfamily] \starttext This is plain text. \startformula x + y = z \stopformula \stoptext The above code doesn't build for me with errors in the formula portion. However, removing the Neo Euler line makes it work. Moreover, this works: \definefontfamily [myfamily] [serif] [Neo Euler] \setupbodyfont[myfamily] \starttext This is plain text. \startformula x + y = z \stopformula \stoptext But this makes everything, including math, Euler. Could you please help me out? Thanks. Kumar

Hi Kumar, this seems to work with latest beta: \definefontfamily [myfamily] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefontfamily [myfamily] [mm] [Neo Euler] \setupbodyfont[myfamily] \starttext This is plain text. \startformula x + y = z \stopformula \stoptext I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi, I have trouble with Neo Euler font after playing around with those options. My code looks like this: \definefontfamily [fontnew] [rm] [Chiller Regular] \definefontfamily [fontnew] [mm] [Neo Euler] \starttext \setupbodyfont[fontnew] \startformula x + y + {\it y} = z = {\bi x} - {\bf x} / (2 + x) \stopformula \stoptext But when I compile the document, then I don't get any italics anymore. Neither \it nor \bi. Please check the attached PDF and compare it with your compilation of the code above. This happens ever since I build some other math fonts as well, like: \definefontfamily [fontnew] [rm] [Chiller Regular] \definefontfamily [fontnew] [mm] [Neo Euler] \definefontfamily [fontnewtwo] [rm] [Antykwa Torunska] \definefontfamily [fontnewtwo] [mm] [Cambria Math] I am pretty sure that before I started mixing the fonts in one single document, Neo Euler was italic. Does anybody have a clue what might have went wrong? Thanks in advance, Sebastian On 21/07/2017 14:33, Kumar Appaiah wrote:

Hi Sebastian, as far as I remember, Neo Euler is a regular font only (https://github.com/khaledhosny/euler-otf). Euler is an italic font and it might have the other regular, bold, bold italic typefaces (I don’t know). I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
Yes it helps, thanks; it explains why there was so little response to this. ;) After some search I found regular style pictures of it. I was sure, that it was italic as standard, because that's what "modern" suggests: compability for current regulations (i.e. regular constants, italic variables) as well as an attractive style overall. But since Neo Euler seems to have no italic style, it is of no use for academic purposes, like in my case. The story, to add to the subject of the mail, in case somebody searches the archive for this, is that I wasn't able to find out is how to change the math font only, as i like the standard font with \setupbodyfont[sans] as global setup but not the style of (non-modern) Euler. I tried \definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [Xits Math] but this changes the whole typeface; not what I want. So the trick is to define the standard font for the rest of the font variations. The standard font can be found out with \showbodyfont. At least that's what it suggests. But it gives you "modern-design" as font. When you use this within \definefontfamily then it gives you nothing, because the real id of the standard font is "modern". So to change the math font only and keep the main font standard, you have to use this command group (just in case somebody looks for it): \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Modern] % = serif \definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [Modern] % = sans \definefontfamily [mainface] [tt] [Modern] % = mono (teletype) \definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [Xits Math] [rscale=1.03] % = math But as this seems to be so trivial, that few people care, I really have to wonder why people who test CTX criticise the lack of documentation. We (especially who haven't been through LaTeX or even TeX) seem to be a minority. Cheers and thanks, S. On 23/07/2017 21:22, Pablo Rodriguez wrote:

originally "euler" is a math companion font to "concrete" and it's not trivial to make en euler with all text styles (maybe some day the tex gyre project will give it a try) .. btw, the same is true for sans fonts: at some point one runs out of distinctive features btw, it also fits with pagella (see type-imp-euler)

I don't want to argue with you Hans, as I know that you have better things to do. But for clarification: for a non-power TeX / CTX user this is information, that one usually doesn't get, as it makes deep interest in fonts creation necessary. On the other hand I don't expect you to be the one who teaches users about fonts, relationships or even the motives behind their creation. Thanks for your explanation though.
The story, to add to the subject of the mail, in case somebody searches the archive for this, is that I wasn't able to find out is how to change the math font only, as i like the standard font with \setupbodyfont[sans] as global setup but not the style of (non-modern) Euler. I tried

I see. Well I just used search on the CTX wiki to find information about selectfont, but neither selectfont nor \selectfont gives me any result. If it's something TeX related, then I have to say that I didn't start to use CTX to get into TeX before. Anyways this is where it starts. This time it's type-imp, other topics will make it necessary to search other source files and then it starts over... This is something for you, the other coders or users who want to tweak CTX or its components, but a standard user will never do this, as he usually doesn't know where to look for info.

In what sense?
In the sense that we (or let's even say just me) don't know where to look for information. I mean how many software do you have, where you go through its source files to understand how it does basic tasks? For me it's only CTX and as a consequence thereof Textadept, but for me that's already /too much/. So IMHO this must not be the future... Except for those who can't stop loving open source software that is usually made for a specific topic in the first place.
Anyway, there is quite some documentation (also about fonts) available (and the context distribution documentation section has examples).
There you are right. There is so much documentation that it's overwhelming. For instance documentation on fonts goes over several wiki pages. Suffice it to say you have to know what you are looking for, and not where. And the more you start searching, the more wiki pages you have to go through. A better approach might be to merge several pages that belong to a single chapter to one single wiki page. But that's just my opinion. Another example: I have found different links to manuals like Hoekwater's or Hagen's (on the wiki). But on several pages you get links to several versions of the manual, for instance I found one link to Hoekwater's 2003 version and to 2011 or 2013 version (I don't remember the exact dates as I deleted them both). Some time later I read that there is an online manual somewhere in the download area, that has to be built first. But there seems to be no manual for Windows users how to do this. I.e. one has to get some basic Linux info or similar, just to build a manual. I don't find this to be user friendly at all. That being said, the US army has a code name for something like that: Charlie Foxtrot (abbreviation for cluster fuck, i.e. chaos). So indeed there is plenty of information, but most of it is written from the POV of a long time user or a programmer. There clearly lacks documentation from the POV of a simple user who has never used TeX or its kind. I mean sure, it could be only me who has a hard time understanding CTX, but since I have found out many things about CTX without asking anybody but reading information that is already there, the fact that I found out how to change only the math font after approx two years somehow shows me, that it's not only some lack of my will to read all the pages several times to understand CTX but also the lack of passion in the documentation. Still I won't give up. So far I am a happy CTX user. Cheers, Sebastian
