Hi to all, I asked to the list how to know which font are installed on my machine. The reply was that I cannot guess this info from inside tex, but it should be possible to grasp information starting form the distro I use.

(I'm using TeXShop, with Gerben distro on macosx)

So, I was tinkering: can anyone suggest a list of widely used font name so that at least I can try to call them from inside ConTeXt and see if they are present or not? I was lucky with Palatino, as an example.

Thanks to all

Hello,

I've put 3 files into http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/garamond/ :

t-garamond.tex texnansi-urw-garamond.map type-ugm.tex

Would you put them into the distribution? (would be nice)

I support the idea of including urw-garamond in the distribution. Makes it much easier for font newbies like me to use them :)

BTW, do you plan to add support for "math design" font for garamond? http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=mathdesign- garamond

Please wrap them up in an external module if you want them included in the distribution. Have a look at http://modules.contextgarden.net/urwgothic

Ok, it's done! Cheers, Peter

Hans,

De 'BNF Grammar' module is ook klaar voor cont-ext. Ik zou ze trouwens lekker in cont-ext laten zitten, dan wordt het ook nooit jouw probleem als er iets verandert aan het font zelf.

ok, thanks

if these font defs are stable i.e. don't need regular maintainance by a third party, they can be added to the regular typescript some day

I don't know, but URW Garamond seems to be stable at least since the last 12 month. Peter

ok, keep an eye on it; as soon as you think garamond defs can be moved to the core, let us know (my experience is that font gets renamed without communication -)

All right, I'll check the modification dates in ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/dante/nonfree/fonts/urw/garamond/ on a regular time interval. But for me, there is only one little difference in the case of font changes: - if the files are in cont-ext.zip, then I'll update the module on contextgarden.net - if the files are in cont-tmf.zip, then I'll drop you an email to update the typescripts Cheers, Peter
