[***SPAM***] Fonts problems with ConTeXt MKIV (LuaTeX)
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f8a33e3f95fe95ed43dab4262be5e428.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Dear all, I have to use a special font (DIN) for my document. This font have a really limited number of caracters. Previously I was using ConTeXt MKII with no problems. After migrating to ConTeXt MKiV the math formula and list doesn’t work due to the font. It's like the charset used for the formula and the list bullet are not available. I have not this issue with the same font with ConTeXt MKII. The code used to load the font is not the same for the two version. With MKIV I use the simplefonts module, with MKII I use typescript. Both code are available below. Do you have any idea how could I use DIN font with MKIV without breaking math formula ? Thanks in advance for any hint Patrick This is the code I use with MKIV: \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25] \setsansfont[din] This is the code I use with MKII: % Load the DIN font and set the typescript \loadmapfile [texnansi-s-din.map] \starttypescript [map] [gentium] [ec,texnansi,8r,t5,t2a,t2b,qx] \loadmapfile [\typescriptthree-s-din.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [DIN] [texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Black][texnansi-DIN-Black0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Bold][texnansi-DIN-Bold0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Light][texnansi-DIN-Light0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Medium][texnansi-DIN-Medium0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Regular][texnansi-DIN-Regular0][encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [DIN] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [DIN-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [DIN-Light] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [DIN-Light] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [DIN-Bold] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [DIN] \definetypeface [MyDIN] [rm] [serif] [DIN] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [MyDIN] [ss] [sans] [default] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [MyDIN] [tt] [mono] [default] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [MyDIN] [mm] [math] [default] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[DIN]

This is the code I use with MKIV:
\usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25] \setsansfont[din]
Can you test the font with a complete minimal example like this (you can replace the Ubuntu font with DIN). \usemodule[simplefonts] \setsansfont[Ubuntu] \setupbodyfont[ss] \starttext \input ward \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \startitemize \startitem Item 1 \stopitem \startitem Item 2 \stopitem \startitem Item 3 \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext
This is the code I use with MKII:
% Load the DIN font and set the typescript \loadmapfile [texnansi-s-din.map]
\starttypescript [map] [gentium] [ec,texnansi,8r,t5,t2a,t2b,qx] \loadmapfile [\typescriptthree-s-din.map] \stoptypescript
\starttypescript [serif] [DIN] [texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[DIN-Black][texnansi-DIN-Black0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Bold][texnansi-DIN-Bold0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Light][texnansi-DIN-Light0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Medium][texnansi-DIN-Medium0][encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DIN-Regular][texnansi-DIN-Regular0][encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript
Are “DIN-Black0”, “DIN-Bold0” etc. the file names for the font, in this case simplefonts isn’t able to find them because the search pattern don’t look for such names. Wolfgang

I could reproduce the problem with this simple example: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setsansfont[nimbus] \starttext An equation $e^{\pi i}+1=0$, or as a \stoptext Any idea why it doesn't work ?

What happens when you remove the \setsansfont line (the Nimbis isn’t even used in the example)? Wolfgang

When I remove the \setsansfont it works perfectly... When I but back the \setsansfont I have the following error: 1 \usemodule[simplefonts] 2 \setsansfont[nimbus] 3 4 \starttext 5 >> An equation $e^{\pi i}+1=0$, or as a 6 \stoptext l.5 An equation $e^{\pi i}+1=0$ , or as a ?

I am using the default ubuntu packages: context --version mtx-context | main context file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2011.05.18 18:04 luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011120612 I think I have to update ! Do you have link on a more recent version packaged for ubuntu ? Thanks Patrick

Uh...well the situation is the following 1) I'm using ubuntu 12.04 lts 32 bit 2) I don't use tex* from ubuntu 3) I manually install the latest mkiv in /opt/luatex/context-standalone (for mkii and mkiv only ) 4) I manually install texlive under /opt/luatex/texlive/2012 (for latex only) You have a more-than-a-month-old mkiv, which currently means "unsupported". -- luigi

You have a more-than-a-month-old mkiv, which currently means "unsupported".
I have updated using ConTeXt Standalone. It works nicely with the last stable version (sh ./first-setup.sh --context=current) but if I update to last unstable version (sh ./first-setup.sh) I have another error with the \page command... By the way with the stable version everything seems to work ! Thanks all for your help
