I am trying to install a font so that Context cn use it. I am using the simplefont module and have a ttf that I'd like to use.
There is a lot of conflicting information out about to do this and som is outdated. As for ContTeX I did find a nice article, but it says to use the program texfont, "which ships with ConTex", but I do not have any such file.
texfont --ve=sil --co=gentium --makepath --install
I am using the TexLive version. Is there any simple method to get this font so that it can be used by ConTex MKIV ?
Yes, install your font (I assume is Gentium) on your operative system. Run "mtxrun --script fonts --reload". (Not sure it is required, but I need this each time I install a font.) And (assuming you installed Gentium), here is the sample code: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Gentium] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Compile it with "context gentium.tex" (change file name accordingly) and it should work. If not, please try to describe what happened. I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
