Lucida Bright Font Problem
Hi all, I'm trying to set up ConTeXt to use the Lucida Bright Font. I've already installed the font in the "LaTeX way" and it works pretty well in LaTeX. But when I use the following: \usetypescriptfile [type-buy] \loadmapfile[texnansi-bh-lucida.map] \usetypescript[lbr]%[texnansi] \setupbodyfont[lbr,11pt] The font used in the document is still computer Modern. Does ConTeXt require special setup? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Sincerely, Colin

Problem Solved. \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] % loads commercial font definitions \usetypescript[lucida][texnansi] % defines a lucida typeface \setupbodyfont[lucida,12pt] This worked. Colin On Jul 31, 2006, at 5:28 PM, Helin Gai wrote:

OK, now I understand it. After some time of playing (before this thread was started) I came out with some definitions like these: % at least the basic ones which are needed for a document to compile properly \definefontsynonym [lbmr] [hlcrm] [encoding=default] \definefontsynonym [lbmo] [hlcrima] [encoding=default] \definefontsynonym [lbms] [hlcry] [encoding=default] \definefontsynonym [lbme] [hlcrv] [encoding=default] \definefontsynonym [lbma] [hlcra] [encoding=default] \definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbr] [hlhr8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbd] [hlhb8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbsl] [hlhro8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbi] [hlhri8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbdi] [hlhbi8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbrsc] [hlhrc8y] [encoding=texnansi] \loadmapfile[lucida.map] \usetypescript[lucida][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[lucida] But then again I didn't understand how it was possible that so many people were using lucida without any problems. (And that it was only me who had problems installing the font - I simply took all the files from the "LaTeX world" and forgot about using texfont, which caused me some headaches until now anyway.)
\usetypescript[lucida][\defaultencoding]
Hmmm ... Yesterday I figured out that lucida doesn't support EC (ie. doens't have enough glyphs to cover Slovenian and Croatian). I guess that only texnansi is a sensible choice. :( (I hoped that empty slots in Hans's manuals were a consequence of faulty ec.enc files, but now I figured out that the font has indeed many glhyps missing.)

when i started using lucida (many years ago) they came with tfm files (texnansi) abut nowadays i just generate the metrics with texfont because yandy went away tug now sells the fonts, and as a result new metrics for latex were made; i'm not sure with what (afm) files the fonts ship nowadays but i'm not going to change/adapt my local setup (too tricky) to different lucida spacing and metrics; the font metrics zip has them

my impression is that when ec was made nobody cared much about eastern european languages; for some reason the hardly (or once per doc) used copyright and registere symbols were considered to be of more importance, alas ...
