I'd like to add a section on using TeXLive fonts to my help page. First: listing those which are predefined in ConTeXt. Then: writing typescripts for the others. Since I don't want to write any unncessary scripts, please check this list to see if I've missed anything. This is what I see by looking at type-exa.tex and running some experiments: (1) The default, with no type specification, gives Bluesky Computer Modern. (2) This produces CM-Super Computer Modern: \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[modern] (3) This produces Palatino (URW Palladio): \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] % \setupbodyfont[palatino] (4) This produces Times (URW Nimbus): \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[times][ec] % \setupbodyfont[times] (5) These both produce Times, Helvetica (\ss) and Courier (\tt) from the URW Nimbus collection: \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \setupbodyfont[pos] or \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[postscript][ec] \setupbodyfont[postscript] * * * That's all I can find. type-exa.tex contains Lucida typeface definitions, but the corresponding tfm's don't exist on TeXLive. Is there some setting to make these work? Similarly, type-enc.tex contains many font synonyms, but the tfm's do not exist and there are no typeface definitions for them. For anything else, I'll have to produce typescripts, right? -Bill -- Sattre Press Pagan Papers http://sattre-press.com/ by Kenneth Grahame info@sattre-press.com http://pp.sattre-press.com/

type-enc has most of the free (type 1) ones on tex live, \definetypeface[bookman][rm][serif][bookman][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[bookman] For using / combining the fonts, it would be nice to have a couple of tables with proper relative scales Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I've started a new section for TeXLive fonts on my help page: http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html#texlive-fonts So far I have Palatino, Times, Helvetica, Courier, Bookman and Charter. I haven't added Utopia because, for some reason, the TeXLive install copied the pfb's but not the tfm's on my system. Has anyone else seen that? I'll have to investigate. -Bill -- Sattre Press Pagan Papers http://sattre-press.com/ by Kenneth Grahame info@sattre-press.com http://pp.sattre-press.com/

Yes, it's a known bug. You can get the tfms and vfs back here: http://www.gutenberg.eu.org/distributions/texlive/93-correctifs-texlive7.htm... Don't be afraid by the French stuff! :-) Just get the utopia.tar.gz file, cd to your texmf root directory and do a tar xvfz utopia.tar.gz to add the missing files (you can do it in your local texmf too I think).

Thank you! I've added those instructions to the page. For some reason \bf is not producing bold Utopia, although \bi and \bs produce bold italic and slanted. I'll look into it further. -Bill -- Sattre Press Pagan Papers http://sattre-press.com/ by Kenneth Grahame info@sattre-press.com http://pp.sattre-press.com/

What about teTeX or is it better to switch to TeXLive?
I had a lot of trouble getting the fonts to work correctly on teTeX. I asked Hans what he uses and he said "TeXLive". I figured that if I used the same distribution as the author of the macro package the chances for me getting the stuff to work would improve. And indeed, haven't had a problem since.

I recently switched from TeXlive7 to tetex 2.0.2 just because it is newer. There are some additional tfms on TeXlive that enables you to use the berry typscript that is shipped with ConTeXt. For all others you can use my (still not finished) adobekb typescript on levana.de/context/ . Patrick
