Hello Everyone,
I am trying to fix a Palatino small caps issue using the procedure explained here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Palatino_Linotype_under_MKIV
That fix seems to be obsolete nowadays and returning errors.
there are several ways to apply patches runtime, see *.lfg files (and also fonts-mkiv.pdf)
1) I've created a sample LFG file 2) placed it into the folder where other LFG files are stored 3) removed pala.tma and pala.tmc files from the cache 4) triggered the generating
My pala.lfg file seems to be ignored:
return { name = "pala", comment = "Switching the small capped 'i' to a dotless variant in Palatino Linotype.", remapping = { tounicode = true, unicodes = { ["i.sc"] = 983201, }, }, }
1) How the LFG file is matched with the font? Is it via the 'name' parameter, "pala" in my case? Does that name equals to the file title without an extension or something else?
2) Should I see that comment in the log or is it just a remark for editors?
3) Can I emulate this patch via direct editing of pala.tma file? When I change the 'unicodes' value there, it has no impact on generating (nothing changes in the output).

Thanks, I got it. Two next steps are required and one turned out as redundant. 1) Create a sample LFG file 2) Place it into the folder where other LFG files are stored 3) NEW! Execute 'mtxrun --generate' command to include newly added LFG file into a file database 4) NEW! Specify a new font feature referencing to this goodie: \definefontfeature[dotlessi][mode=base,goodies=pala,unicoding=yes] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default,quality,dotlessi}] 5) Trigger the generating It does something, but not what I need :-) My MWE: \definefontfeature[dotlessi][mode=base,goodies=pala,unicoding=yes] \definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default,quality,dotlessi}] \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext Athenians \sc{Athenians} \stoptext This LFG core settings: unicodes = { ["a.sc"] = 97, (1) ["b.sc"] = 983261, (2) }, (1) replaces all small 'a' into small caps variants - just for testing purposes (2) doesn't replace small caps 'i' to small caps 'b', but when small caps text is selected, b is copied into the clipboard - so some replacement is performed, but incomplete. Maybe other tables need to be tweaked as well... Has anybody any experience with this? Thanks, Jan
