Christmas is approaching, and I hate to be a pest this time of the year, but there's this problem that really bothers me: I'm still working hard to release version 2 of my Greek module on the unsuspecting masses. It will define all fonts in a typescript instead of as single fonts to allow switches like {\em } etc. It appears that the typescript mechanism creates some problems. The most serious one for me is that it seems to demand a full list of sizes that can be used in this form: \definebodyfont [30pt,25pt,20pt,18pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,14pt,12pt,11pt,11.5pt,10pt,9pt,8pt, 7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt] [rm] [default] If I specify a bodyfont with a size that's not in this list \setupbodyfont[somebodyfont,19.7pt] I get no errors, but no output either :-( If I add 19.7pt to the list, everything works again. Is there an explanation for this behavior? It also looks like I should define a math font for these Greek fonts. It looks like ConTeXt will try to get certain symbols from math if they're not defined in the bodyfont. Is there a syntax for creating a default math font for an entire set of typescripts? I tried this \starttypescript \definetypeface [all] [mm] [math] [times] [default] [encoding=default] \starttypescript but it doesn't seem to work, if a symbol like \textdoublebracketleft is used, compilation will fail with this error: ! Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts. \mathematics #1->\relax \ifmmode #1\else $#1$ \fi \doutfunihashglyph ...#1\endcsname {#2}\endcsname \else \strippedcsname \uni... Any suggestions would be welcome; apart from these problems, I'm basically done with the work. All best Thomas

Before that call, you may need to do \definebodyfontenvironment [19.7pt] as well (not sure)

Replacing [all] with [tsgreek] (or whatever you typescript is named) should work. Hope this helps, Taco

Sigh... It works, but it destroys the scaling mechanism built into the module...

That was my question: the typescriptfile contains about 25 typefaces. Is there a way to specify one math font for all of them, or do I have to go the laborious way of adding such a line to every single one of them? Thanks! Thomas

Assuming you have them inside \starttypescript-s, you could replace [all] with [\typecriptone] globally. I'll be happy to test what you have now, if needed. Cheers, Taco

tf= (nothing) is a bad idea Hans

Oh (is that what the error came from?) I just wanted to stress the use of [default] instead of explicit sizes. Sorry, miscommunication on my part. Cheers, Taco
