Hi all, I have installed the LinLibertine and Junicode fonts on Linux Ubuntu, minimal tex version. They only work if I comment out the lines concerning the Bold versions of the fonts in my type-scripts. With those lines, the error is: ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.23 13:32 MKII fmt: 2007.2.4 int: english/english ..... ! Font \*MyJunicode7ptrmbfrm*:=[Junicode-Bold at 7.0pt not loadable: Metric (TF M) file not found. <to be read again> \relax \xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... \dodosettextfamilyB ...amily \fontsize \endcsname \else \ifcsname \fontclass... \dosettextfamily ...ttextfamily \scriptscriptfont \let \fontbody \scriptface... <inserted text> ...y \c!tf \dosettextfamily \c!bf \dosettextfamily \c!sl \do... \synchronizetext ...athfonts \the \textstrategies \fi ... l.4 \setupbodyfont[MyJunicode,12pt] *************************** The lines I had to comment out are: \definefontsynonym [Junicode-Bold] [texnansi-Junicode-Bold] [encoding=texnansi] and \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Junicode-Bold] The fact that the problem occurs with two different fonts and type- scripts should exclude a typo. Thanks for your help, Jörg
Let me try again: After installing the LinLibertine and the Junicode fonts, everything works (including bolditalic) except the bold version. - System: ubuntu, minimal tex/context installation - I followed the instructions by T. Schmitz (Practex Journal 2005: Integrating TrueType Fonts into Context). I.e., using texfont. - After compiling the texfont-generated (texnansi-...-junicode.tex) file, the pdf shows all the fonts (including bold). - A testfile stalled with the error message below. After removing the lines defining the bold version (typescript-file: see attachment) everything except bold works. Testfile: \usetypescriptfile[type- junicode] \usetypescript[Junicode] \setupbodyfont[MyJunicode,12pt] \starttext etc. - Replacing the bold ttf, vf, and tfm fonts by those I found on the fiee website didn't help. I suspect that it will turn out to be an embarassing error, but I couldn't spot it. Thanks for your help, Jörg Error message:

%\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [[Junicode-Bold]%comment this line There is one [ too many in this definition... Don't be too embarrassed, when you've looked at a file or a line for three hours, you don't see anything anymore. Good luck Thomas

Thanks a lot. I AM embarassed, especially since I suspected something of the sort but didn't see it. And also because I successfully avoided quite a few premature interventions in the past months, but was too impatient this time. I am editing the Annual Report of an ornithological society. In the past, this has been done with Word, the font was Gentium. I haven't changed to ConTeXt yet, because Gentium has no bold version and I want to stick with the same font (Word produces some kind of Gentium- bold itself). That's the reason why I am looking at other fonts, with the intention of smuggling a "SimilarToGentium-Bold" into a gentium- typescript. (I know that's not done -- but it's only the Ornithological Society of Basel ....) Cheers, Jörg
Good luck

As I do not understand fonts at all, but is it really so, that one needs to have the bold fontpackage if one wants to set a word in bold in tex? Asked another way, can tex not do the same as word in this regard? with regards, __Janko -- Janko Hauser email: jhauser@zscout.de mobile: +49 1721 641552

TeX can produce an artificial bold version of type 1 fonts via postscript commands in the map file, and you can consult the index of the TeXbook for "poor man's bold" for another solution. In both cases, the typographic quality is so low that you really don't want to go there. Word output is ugly anyway, so nobody cares if it produces artificial bold that makes it even uglier... Thomas
