Hi! Unfortunately that did nothing helpful. I ran first-setup.sh additionally, but that didn't help either. Regards, Eyke 2008/9/16 Taco Hoekwater :

My code works when I change the definition for example to texgyrebonum-regular.otf.

Any ideas why the other font isn't working?

luatools --generate may help.

Hmm, that's interesting. I thought it's not relevant where the fonts are located. The error appears when I put the font into "context/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public". But there are no problems with the font in "context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/truetype". Why? Cheers, Eyke 2008/9/16 Taco Hoekwater :

I thought that OpenType is quasi an extended TrueType. Wikipedia says: "OpenType Filename extension .otf, .ttf". So it isn't obvious why one schould not mix the two parts in one directory. Cheers, Eyke 2008/9/16 Arthur Reutenauer :

The obvious answer would be: because your font has a .ttf extension. And the obvious answer would be: since it has a .ttf extension, why do you put it in fonts/opentype?

OpenType can internally use TrueType outlines or PostScript outlines (different algorithms). OpenType with PS outlines normally use the .otf extension; OpenType with TrueType outlines are valid TrueType fonts and therefore normally use the .ttf extension. But OpenType fonts are never valid PostScript fonts.

By far not every TrueType font is OpenType compatible: OT-TT fonts have their characters encoded in Unicode and may use OT features; "normal" TT fonts often use default/custom one-byte encodings.

Thanks for your explanation.

The ordering in the TeX tree is probably a matter of taste, but you would even more confused to find .ttf fonts within the "truetype" as well as "opentype" folders, for you can't know (without tools) what's really in the font's guts. And don't you think it would be questionable to draw a line between Unicode encoded TrueType fonts with and without OpenType features?

OK, in some cases it makes sense to store them separated. But when I download a font and don't know about its features, I first have to analyse it to put it into the right folder.

How do you do that? Added the relevant font pathes to texmf.cnf? Cheers, Eyke 2008/9/17 Wolfgang Schuster :

No, you don't have to do this.

*.ttf -> fonts/truetype *.otf -> fonts/opentype

You could also use them from your OS font directory (this is what I did).

here i have texmf-whatever/fonts/data/vendor/collection/somefont.somesuffix i.e. the whole lot organized by vendor/collection instead of per file type for that to work, you need to add texmf-whatever/fonts/data// to your relevant font paths in texmf.cnf ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
