Hi,
\definefont[BigText] [Calligarphic sa 2]
\BigText test
which gives me the math calligraphic fonts. How do I get the text calligraphic fonts, using \definefont?
The virtue of the Context system of font specification lies in the ability to change sizes with \tfb, \tfx etc. For a single size used for e.g, title page I use a regular TeX \font statement. For example after I fought through the AGaramond problem for body fonts, with great help from this list, I still retained some additional special statements like:
\font\MySans uhvbo8r at 30pt \font\BigSans uhvb8r at 30pt \font\MedSans uhvb8r at 20pt etc.
This is a bit tedious but pretty much mistake proof. And the call for each variant is simple.
Thank you. I guess I will have to learn how plain TeX handles fonts. Until now, ConTeXt saved me from the gory details :) But I am still confused. Why does text calligraphic font not have a font synonym? Aditya
