Hi everybody,

I have an almost finished report inside which I need to typeset some russian words. I am using ConTeXt Standalone current (2011.05.18 18:04 MKII). Reading the wiki, it seems that there are no more fonts with cyrillic glyphs in this distribution. So I switched to XeTeX in order to use my system fonts. Unfortunately I stumbled into a problem when combining my fr settings with a font switching command.

Have you considered to use MkIV:

Yes I have. I tried, but my MkII format doesn't work smoothly under MkIV. I am trying to convert it but I am afraid I won't be able to do it before my deadline.

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfontfallback[Times New Roman][range=cyrillic] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella]

\starttext Example text from the wiki: Немного русского текста для пробы. \stoptext

Thank you for this example. It will be very useful once I manage to switch to MkIV. Do you have a similar trick for chinese characters ? -- Jean-Philippe Rey Professeur - École Centrale Paris jean-philippe.rey@ecp.fr 92295 Châtenay-Malabry Cedex - France

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setcjkmainfont[…] \setmainfont[…]

\starttext … \stoptext

I couldn't make \setcjkmainfont to work. Here is my example: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfontfallback[Arial Unicode][range=cyrillic] \setcjkmainfont[Arial Unicode] \starttext Example text from the wiki: Немного русского текста для пробы. And some Chinese: --- 人民日报海外版 --- back to English \stoptext There are 7 chinese characters between ---. Everything is fine with russian but the cjk characters seem to be ignored, I don't even get a replacement character in the output. The font is not to blame as \definefontsynonym[AU][Arial Unicode] \definefont[Arial][AU] \starttext \Arial Example text from the wiki: Немного русского текста для пробы. And some Chinese: --- 人民日报海外版 --- back to English \stoptext displays all the seven Chinese characters. -- Jean-Philippe Rey Professeur - École Centrale Paris jean-philippe.rey@ecp.fr 92295 Châtenay-Malabry Cedex - France

Because Chinese characters are not in the cyrillic area in unicode, you can try the following example:

\usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfontfallback[arialuni][range={0x0400-0x2FA1F}] \setcjkmainfont[arialuni]

\setmainfontfallback and \setcjkmainfont use the same command to set the fallback font, the difference between both is that \setcjkmainfont has a default value for “range” which is empty for \setmainfontfallback. Wolfgang

Thanks, that works. But makes pointless \setcjkmainfont[arialuni]. Moreover, I couldn't select different fonts for Russian and Chinese, as, given Wolfgang answer, I thought would be possible. When I try

\setmainfontfallback[Arial Unicode][range=0x3400-0x2FA1F] \setmainfontfallback[Times New Roman][range=cyrillic]

only the first one is taken into account.

Add “\setmainfont[…]” after the \setmainfontfallback lines. Wolfgang

I tried, but couldn't use latin modern as the main font.

You can use “CMU Serif” which support for cyrillic.

No problem for example with \setmainfont[Helvetica] or \setmainfont[Tex Gyre Pagella], but with \setmainfont[Latin Modern Roman] I get only cyrillic OR chinese depending on the order of the fallback definitions. It is the same outcome as without \setmainfont.

The module already sets “Latin Modern” as default font and when you set a fallback font the base font is loaded with the fallback font and you can’t add more fallbacks. When you use now a font different from LM all fallback are applied and you get the desired output. What you can do when you insist on LM is to postpone simplefonts font loading with the following method: \usemodule[simplefonts] \disablesimplefonts % define a fallback fonts! \setmainfontfallback[Arial Unicode] [range=0x3400-0x2FA1F] \setmainfontfallback[Times New Roman][range=cyrillic] \enablesimplefonts \setmainfont[Latin Modern Roman] \starttext Example text from the wiki: Немного русского текста для пробы.
