Help with Times font, footnote symbols and captions
Hi, a document of mine (compiled with the latest mkiv beta) contains the following setup: \usetypescript[times][ec] \setupbodyfont[times,10pt] \defineconversion[onlyasterisks][*,*,*,*,*] \setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=onlyasterisks,bodyfont=9pt] \setupcaptions[inbetween={\blank[6pt]},width=max,align=middle,style=bold, suffix={.}] I have some trouble with the following, however: 1) The asterisks in the footnotes appear in the margin. I can I align the * below the main text? 2) How can I make the text in the captions at 9pt? I have checked in the wiki and in the ConTeXt manual, but I cannot do the above. Besides, is the used font Times New Roman (sorry for the question, but I do not have Acrobat installed right now, and I do not know how to check the font in the pdf file)? If not, how can I use Times New Roman with mkiv? Thanks in advance, Nicola

That's great! I didn't know about pdffonts… Well, I don't know much about fonts in general :) So, now that's quite complicated (for me).

Also, is that TimesNewRomanPSMT the “official” Times New Roman, or a “quasi”-Times? I ask because my publisher seems to have strict font requirements, and has asked me to check that my paper be entirely in Times New Roman… Nicola

Your best bet, then, is to download the MS TT core fonts package. http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ That installs 'real' Times New Roman, which you can then use in the usual way. mathew [ I'm assuming you're using Linux, because if you're using Windows or a Mac you should already have Times New Roman installed. ] -- URL:http://www.pobox.com/~meta/

\setupbodyfont is enough, you don’t need \usetypescript here and font encoding (i.e. “ec”) are gone. Wolfgang

Ok. Please bear with me, understanding of font handling mechanisms is still beyond my reach. This is the best I was able to do so far to use Times New Roman: \starttypescript [serif] [myfont] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:timesnewroman] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [name:timesnewromanbold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [name:timesnewromanitalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [name:timesnewromanitalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [name:timesnewromanbolditalic] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [myfont] [rm] [serif] [myfont] \definetypeface [myfont] [mm] [math] [times] \setupbodyfont[myfont,rm,10pt] \definefont[FigureCaptionStyle][SerifBold at 9pt] \setupcaptions[inbetween={\blank[6pt]},width=max,align=middle,style=FigureCaption Style,suffix={.}] Is this the mkiv way? Nicola ps: for aligning footnote symbols, I have no clue yet.

That's was I had tried in the first place. But how can I change the math font then?

Embarassingly easy :) But, maybe, that should be mentioned in simplefonts README and/or added to the wiki. Thanks to all who replied: my document is now fine and I've learned a bunch of stuff. Nicola
