I am having difficulties writing a typescript for the Caslon font that's on my system. The following works: \definetypeface[Caslon-Bold][rm][Xserif][CaslonOldFaceBT-Heavy] \definetypeface[Caslon-Italic][rm][Xserif][CaslonOldFaceBT-Italic] \definetypeface[Caslon-Regular][rm][Xserif][CaslonOldFaceBT-Roman] \starttext Testing \switchtobodyfont[Caslon-Regular] Testing \switchtobodyfont[Caslon-Bold] Testing \switchtobodyfont[Caslon-Italic] Testing \stoptext However, I tried to write a simple typescript for the same font. I came up with the following: \starttypescript[serif][caslon][uc] \definetypeface[CaslonRegular][CaslonOldFaceBT-Roman][encoding=uc] \definetypeface[CaslonItalic][CaslonOldFaceBT-Italic][encoding=uc] \definetypeface[CaslonBold][CaslonOldFaceBT-Heavy][encoding=uc] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][caslon][name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [CaslonRegular] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [CaslonItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [CaslonBold] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[caslon][uc] \definetypeface[caslon][rm][serif][caslon][default][encoding=uc] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[caslon][uc] \setupbodyfont[caslon, 12pt] \starttext Testing {\bf Testing} {\it Testing} \stoptext It fails to compile on the \setupbodyfont line. I know I'm doing something wrong, but every variation I've tried ends up with a compile error, or the caslon font is never loaded and it reverts back to the default font.

Fonts in XeTeX are still a mystery to me, but from what I've learned in the last months, it seems that the syntax for luatex typescripts can and should also be used for XeTeX. This works on my system (latest beta): file: type-caslon.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttypescript [serif] [caslon] \definefontsynonym [Caslon-Roman] [file:ACaslonPro- Regular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Caslon-Bold] [file:ACaslonPro-Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Caslon-Italic] [file:ACaslonPro- Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Caslon-Bold-Italic] [file:ACaslonPro- BoldItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [Caslon-SmallCaps] [file:ACaslonPro- Regular] [features=smallcaps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [caslon] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Caslon-Roman] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Caslon-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Caslon-Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Caslon-Bold-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [Caslon-SmallCaps] [features=smallcaps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Caslon] \definetypeface [Caslon] [rm] [serif] [caslon] [default] \stoptypescript %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% and then: \usetypescriptfile[type-caslon] \usetypescript[Caslon] \setupbodyfont[Caslon,12pt] \starttext Hello World! \stoptext HTH Thomas
Hello Bart, Try \starttypescript[serif][caslon][uc] \definefontsynonym[CaslonRegular][name:CaslonOldFaceBT-Roman][encoding=uc] \definefontsynonym[CaslonItalic][name:CaslonOldFaceBT-Italic][encoding=uc] \definefontsynonym[CaslonBold][name:CaslonOldFaceBT-Heavy][encoding=uc] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][caslon][name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [CaslonRegular] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [CaslonItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [CaslonBold] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[caslon][uc] \definetypeface[caslon][rm][serif][caslon][default][encoding=uc] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[caslon][uc] \setupbodyfont[caslon, 12pt] \starttext Testing {\bf Testing} {\it Testing} \stoptext Note the two changes: \definetypeface's in the first typescript have been replaced with \definefontsynonym commands, and the font names have been prepended with "name:", forcing XeTeX to look for an installed font instead of a TFM (in plain XeTeX, you get the same result by surrounding the font name with double quotes). I am unable to test the typescript because I don't have Caslon Old Face, but it works when I replace the font names with the appropriate faces from Adobe Caslon, which I have. Arthur
Arthur, This works! Thanks for your help. Bart On Monday 17 November 2008 02:25:15 pm Arthur Reutenauer wrote:
