Dear Hans and gang, Has TeX-Gyre been released as part of MKIV yet? I was in the processing of updating my mswincontext distribution of 2007.08.07 and I noticed that cont-tmf does not contain the TeX-Gyre fonts. The reason I don't want to install the fonts from the official TeX-Gyre site is because, before the release of MKIV, I installed them (with the ConTeXt support files on that site of course) and they did not all work :-( So I'd prefer to install them from a single ConTeXt package/zip so that we could all have easier installation (just unzip) as well as a common benchmark, especially if things go wrong ;-) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Dear Hans and gang,
Has TeX-Gyre been released as part of MKIV yet? I was in the processing of updating my mswincontext distribution of 2007.08.07 and I noticed that cont-tmf does not contain the TeX-Gyre fonts.
ConTeXt contains LuaTeX (type-otf, loaded by default) and pdfTeX (type-gyr) typescripts for the TeX-Gyre Fonts.
The reason I don't want to install the fonts from the official TeX-Gyre site is because, before the release of MKIV, I installed them (with the ConTeXt support files on that site of course) and they did not all work :-( So I'd prefer to install them from a single ConTeXt package/zip so that we could all have easier installation (just unzip) as well as a common benchmark, especially if things go wrong ;-)
What is your problem to download the fonts and unzip them in your TeX directory, all other things are included in ConTeXt. You can also wait for new minimals, Hans said he will ship the TeX-Gyre Fonts because you need them for palatino, times ... with LuaTeX. Wolfgang

Yes, this is so...
The reason I don't want to install the fonts from the official TeX-Gyre site is because, before the release of MKIV, I installed them (with the ConTeXt support files on that site of course) and they did not all work :-( So I'd prefer to install them from a single ConTeXt package/zip so that we could all have easier installation (just unzip) as well as a common benchmark, especially if things go wrong ;-)

Because a) I'm doing a lot of really sensitive stuff with luatex (OrientalTeX Project) b) I want to keep my MKIV installation as clean as possible c) If I have future luatex installation problems I don't want to have to think about where this or that package came from that caused this or that problem. If TeX-Gyre comes fully in a ConTeXt packege I'll have a clean benchmark. These days I am just too busy for a lot of unnecessary package debugging etc. if I can avoid it.
You can also wait for new minimals, Hans said he will ship the TeX-Gyre Fonts because you need them for palatino, times ... with LuaTeX.
That's exactly what I was asking about, I thought it may have ben done already ;-) Best wishes Idris PS Thank you again for all your past help! -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

hm, gyre should be in the minimals; anyhow, i will build new ones when i do a major update (i.e. when attribute based color moves into the distribution) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

I checked (justtex.zip), the tex-gyre fonts are still not there, only latin modern otf's...
anyhow, i will build new ones when i do a major update (i.e. when attribute based color moves into the distribution)
Ok, I'll wait, I hope it's not too far off ;-) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
