Hi, I'm currently trying to use our corporate identity font face for internal documents, however neither bold nor italic seem to work. I try to load it with: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[telegrotesk] The fonts reported by mtxrun --script font --list --all contains: telegroteskfet telegroteskfett c:/windows/fonts/t036016t_v21.ttf telegroteskfetnormal telegroteskfett c:/windows/fonts/t036016t_v21.ttf telegroteskfett telegroteskfett c:/windows/fonts/t036016t_v21.ttf telegroteskhal telegroteskhalb c:/windows/fonts/t036014t_v21.ttf telegroteskhalb telegroteskhalb c:/windows/fonts/t036014t_v21.ttf telegroteskhalnormal telegroteskhalb c:/windows/fonts/t036014t_v21.ttf telegrotesknor telegrotesknorm c:/windows/fonts/t036013t_v21.ttf telegrotesknorm telegrotesknorm c:/windows/fonts/t036013t_v21.ttf telegrotesknornormal telegrotesknorm c:/windows/fonts/t036013t_v21.ttf The --info output for normal ... mtx-fonts | mapping : telegrotesknornormal mtx-fonts | fontname: telegrotesknorm mtx-fonts | fullname: telegrotesknor mtx-fonts | filename: c:/windows/fonts/t036013t_v21.ttf mtx-fonts | family : telegrotesknor mtx-fonts | weight : normal mtx-fonts | style : normal mtx-fonts | width : normal mtx-fonts | variant : normal mtx-fonts | subfont : mtx-fonts | fweight : conflict: book mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | gpos features: mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | feature script languages mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | kern dflt dflt mtx-fonts | latn dflt mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | gsub features: mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | feature script languages mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | tlig all all mtx-fonts | trep all all ... and bold: mtx-fonts | mapping : telegroteskfetnormal mtx-fonts | fontname: telegroteskfett mtx-fonts | fullname: telegroteskfet mtx-fonts | filename: c:/windows/fonts/t036016t_v21.ttf mtx-fonts | family : telegroteskfet mtx-fonts | weight : normal mtx-fonts | style : normal mtx-fonts | width : normal mtx-fonts | variant : normal mtx-fonts | subfont : mtx-fonts | fweight : conflict: book mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | gpos features: mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | feature script languages mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | kern dflt dflt mtx-fonts | latn dflt mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | gsub features: mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | feature script languages mtx-fonts | mtx-fonts | tlig all all mtx-fonts | trep all all What would be the preferred way to setup the font in this scenario?

Important for simplefonts are the entries in the first colums, you can use \setmainfont[telegrotesk][regularfont=* nor,boldfont=* fett] to enable the font.
The --info output for normal ... mtx-fonts | family : telegrotesknor
... and bold: mtx-fonts | family : telegroteskfet
What would be the preferred way to setup the font in this scenario?
As you can see from this two entries the fonts internal names are a mess, both should be “family: telegrotesk” for a proper names font but this isn’t the case here and the reason why automatic detection fails. Wolfgang

Ah, that is what I was looking for. Bold works now! Thank you! :-) There's still one problem though: italic doesn't work. I guess the font doesn't provide that feature by itself, but can it be emulated/enabled?

AFAIK the font was designed by URW who I would expect to do better than that ... but well, it's an old font and maybe it was done in a hurry :D -- Best Regards, Andreas Schneider

Is there a file for the italic style?

ConTeXt can fake the slanted and bold style but they are not the same as a real italic and bold font.

No, also new fonts can be a mess and there are too many information and names in a font which show sometimes very different values. Wolfgang

AFAICS there is no italic style. Only regular, bold and semi-bold. What is needed to get simplefonts to fake italic (and slanted for that matter)? -- Best Regards, Andreas Schneider

\usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25] % for fake bold use “stretch=<number>” \setmainfont [telegrotesk] [regularfont=* nor, italicfont=* nor, boldfont=* fett, bolditalicfont=* fett, italicfeatures=fakeitalic, % just the name of a fontfeature bolditalicfeatures=fakeitalic] Wolfgang

Thank you very much, that works like a charm! I wikified it for future reference: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX#Handling_special_cases -- Best Regards, Andreas
