Hello, List!

Is it still needed to 'install' fonts with luatex and otf fonts or is it enough to drop the otf font files in a random place inside texmf/fonts/opentype/ ? dropping is enough; here i use:

texmfwhatever/fonts/data/vendor/collection/[otf, afm, pfb]

don't forget

luatools --generate

also if you wanted named access:

mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Wow, thanks a lot, it works fine with the font I'm trying to play with (Adobe Brioso Pro).

What do you mean by 'named access'? For my testing purpose, I'm simply using domthing like \definefont[brioso][BriosoPro-Regular at 12pt]

\definefont[brioso][AdobeBriosoPro at 12pt] or whatever mtxrun reports

mtxrun --script font --list --pattern=adobe

adobeheitistd-regular AdobeHeitiStd-Regular AdobeHeitiStd-Regular.otf adobemyungjostd-medium AdobeMyungjoStd-Medium AdobeMyungjoStd-Medium.otf adobesongstd-light AdobeSongStd-Light AdobeSongStd-Light.otf and such

Maybe it's a solution to finely have linux-libertine run with context… :o) But : mtxrun --script fonts --reload give me that : MtxRun | unknown script: fonts

Umm.. most linux distribution ship texlive like this. It's common. Just like TeXlive use ~/.texlive2007

Hello, (damn, installation problem again, sorry for this). I'm using a local install in /usr/share/texmf/ on my Ubuntu Hardy — no recent package of Context in hardy… sad :o(. My TeX install is a texlive-2007-13 from ubuntu packages. In my ~/.bashrc I put this : export MYTEXMF=/usr/share/texmf export TEXMFCNF=$MYTEXMF/web2c export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp export TEXMFLOCAL=/usr/share/texmf export LUAINPUTS=$MYTEXMF/tex/context/base:$MYTEXMF/script/context/lua export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/otf The TEXMFCACHE used to be « export TEXMFCACHE=$HOME/.texmf-cache » two weeks ago (but when I change to /tmp, i removed this cached file…). My luatools and mtxrun are links from /usr/bin/ to /usr/share/texmf/scripts/conteyt/lua/ : luatool -> /usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua and mtxran -> /usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua When I update, I run : texexec --make --all --pdftex texexec --make --all --xetex luatools --generate luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en texexec --make --all --lua Do you need the outputs ?

I can run context, but some otf fonts can't be find, like the nice linuxlibertine, for exemple (context used to find it with xetex).

Can you use the TeX-Gyre Fonts, try the following example

All the tex-gyre run well.

% engine=luatex

\usetypescript[palatino] \setupbodyfont[palatino]

\starttext Hello Text! \stoptext

If this did work send your typescript for the linux libertine fonts.

Yes, it work. What do you mean by « typescript » ? For calling linux libertine, I tried this : \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine] [LinLibertineC_Re] \definedfont [LinLibertine at 12pt] and this : \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine] [name:LinLibertineO] \definedfont [LinLibertine at 12pt] nothing work. I get the name with otfinfo -i I don't creat a special file for using LinLibertine… but other fonts like the free Tally[1] run well. Sorry but fonts use are still strange for me… If I understand well, if mtxrun can't build a « database » with my fonts, names can't work ? Olivier.

Hello Oliver, XeTeX finds fonts using fc-config, and fc-config usually knows about all your system-wide-installed fonts, while you first need to tell LuaTeX where your fonts reside. (LuaTeX is not aware of any system-specific folders.) You might need something like export OSFONTDIR=/Library/Fonts pointing to the folder where your font resides. Once you set that, you need to run several commands to update font cache. I'm not 100% sure which ones are really needed (I usually try guessing until it starts working or delete the cache :) - but just follow Hans' comments earlier in the thread. (luatools --generate, mtxrun --script fonts --reload etc.) Mojca

I have this : export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/otf in my .bashrc. And I put a copy in the same directory than the texgyre. The mtxrun problem is strange, do you have an explanation ? Olivier.

(i think that i wrote a fc-whatever parser but then one needs to tell where it lives etc etc)

it's rather trivial to support it

If fontconfig is correctly installed, you shouldn't need to do anything special: only run fc-list / configure fontconfig the normal way (probably by editing things like /etc/fonts/local.conf).

well, we only need the path in mkiv; personally i prefer setting an env var instead of editing yet another configuration file

This certainly is a good idea; I thought about it myself. It could “unify” font searching with XeTeX (although it won't make the overall system easier to understand!).

i'll upload a beta that looks at the file; the relevant code is in font-syn; i.e. only named fonts will be seen because the file is not consulted otherwise local name = fonts.names.xml_configuration_file if name and not name == "" then local name = input.find_file(instance,name,"other") if name ~= "" then collect(xml.collect_texts(xml.load(name),"dir",true)) end end i'm wondering ... if a name is not found, i can regenerate the database at runtime. i had that for a while; maybe i should reinstate that 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

This sounds reasonable. If user is asking for non-existing font, he can be punished a bit (by a longer compile time) for providing the wrong name, and if he has just installed a new font, that behaviour is desirable anyway.

i now have fonts.names.autoreload = toboolean(os.env['MTX.FONTS.AUTOLOAD'] or os.env['MTX_FONTS_AUTOLOAD'] or "no") so, one can configure it ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
