Re: [NTG-context] \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal] problem with default font
Hello friends, I look at the conversations on the list and begin feeling scared. I have a serious project with very tough deadline and heavy use of math. Our publishing department reject everything that does not meet their standards. Initially, I relied upon to possibilities: a) use standard LM fonts, but with upright greek b) use Times (Termes) letters for math, but with italized Latin Never thought that either could ever be a serious problem. Does anybody control the situation? Or my hopes are delusive and my project doomed? P.S. This is really sad, no whimpering :( Regards, Vyatcheslav

What do all the other LaTeX users do? Do you have link to any TeX-generated document as example?
b) use Times (Termes) letters for math, but with italized Latin

Times math should work in mkii, but I don't know if you are able to use it or not or if you really need some MKIV features. You may try the font created by Khaled or Cambria Math. Fixing italic latin letters in txmath should not be too difficult, but it nevertheless takes some work and it's not ready yet. Mojca

You can also try creating a virtual math font that uses a text font that has upright greek letters (CM Unicode maybe). LM fonts don't have upright greek, so there is little that ConTeXt can do. Aditya

as with all these font relate issues keep in mind that the people involved in math support in mkiv (i.e. going unicode) already spent quite some time on it and matching unicode slots to whatevere font that might provided missing glyphs takes a lot of time; if you miss things, you can try to locate what matching fonts has it and provide us the information (mapping) so that we can look at it and possibly integrate it (also keep in mind that eventually we will have new lm and gyre math fonts so getting everything 100% complete now is not our main objective) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
