Why is my output body text in 15pt?

I am typesetting a small pocketbook. I’m using mkii and the standard products/environment/chapters structure. I am trying to create a small paperbook size book with 11pt Optima font (using the converted font on my Mac). Everything works, except the body text is in 15pt in the PDF. Now, I did all this font setup stuff years and years ago (I think the whole GTAMacFonts doesn’t work/exist anymore, I just keep it running on my system) and of course I suspect something not quite right in that part, but when I completely leave out the Optima stuff, I get CMR in 15pt, so that is probably not it. When in CRM, I see log entries like [7.5] Overfull \hbox (4.50882pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 36--46 \*12ptrmtfrm*: rat-ings in-sti-tute are ca-pa-ble of han-dling this amount \hbox(8.26648+2.33331)x258.10477, glue set - 1.0 .\*12ptrmtfrm*: r .\*12ptrmtfrm*: a .\*12ptrmtfrm*: t .\discretionary ..\*12ptrmtfrm*: - .\*12ptrmtfrm*: i .etc. Which seems to indicate that the font is 12pt. But why is the document in 15pt text? My environment contains (amongst other things): \definepapersize[smallpaperback][width=5in,height=8in] \setuppapersize[smallpaperback][smallpaperback] \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[appendix][page=no] \setupsectionblock[backpart][page=no] % Every chapter body text starts with lettrine: \usemodule[lettrine] \setuplettrine[Lines=3, Hang=.5, Oversize=0, Raise=0, Findent=0pt, Nindent=0em, Slope=0em, Ante=, FontHook=, TextFont=\sc, Image=no] % Every chapter starts with a quote on the LHS page: \setuphead [chapter] [page=, before={\setups[chapter:before]}, after={\setups[chapter:after]}] \startsetups chapter:before \page[left] \noheaderandfooterlines \startalignment[left,nothyphenated] \startnarrower[4*left] \em \getbuffer[chapter:quote] \stopnarrower \stopalignment \resetsetups[quote:text] \page[right] \noheaderandfooterlines \blank[force,2*big] \stopsetups \startsetups chapter:after \blank[3*big] \stopsetups \setuptolerance[horizontal=strict] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[rgb] % \setupquote[style=small] \setupnarrower[left=1cm,right=0.5cm] % \usetypescript[serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [normal] % Bypassing type-gtamacfonts.tex \starttypescript [sans,serif] [optima] [texnansi,ec] \definefontsynonym [Optima-Regular] [\typescriptthree-OptimaRegular] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-Italic] [\typescriptthree-OptimaItalic] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-Bold] [\typescriptthree-OptimaBold] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-BoldItalic] [\typescriptthree-OptimaBoldItalic] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-ExtraBlack] [\typescriptthree-OptimaExtraBlack] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans,serif] [optima] [name] \setups [font:fallback:\typescriptone] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone] [Optima-Regular] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Italic] [Optima-Italic] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Bold] [Optima-Bold] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone BoldItalic] [Optima-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Black] [Optima-ExtraBlack] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[allsans][rm][serif][optima][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[allsans][ss][sans][optima][default][encoding=texnansi] \loadmapfile [gtamacfonts.map] \setupbodyfont[allsans,11pt]

if you're using luatex with type 1 fonts, take a look at the mkiv typescripts; you don't need the encodings any more as we're unicode and type one fonts are also mapped onto unicode (you only need afm files and pfb files, no tfm is used) \starttypescript [serif] [melior] [name] \definefontsynonym [MeliorLT-Roman] [MeliorLT] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [MeliorLT-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [MeliorLT-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [MeliorLT-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [MeliorLT-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [SerifItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [SerifBoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [Serif] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [melior] \definefontsynonym [MeliorLT] [file:lte50062] \definefontsynonym [MeliorLT-Italic] [file:lte50063] \definefontsynonym [MeliorLT-Bold] [file:lte50064] \definefontsynonym [MeliorLT-BoldItalic] [file:lte50065] \stoptypescript i'm not sure why you get 15pt if not asked for but simplifying the typescripts might help sorting it out (alternatively use the now built-in selectfont mechanism) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
