Hm, I don't think so. But that is a question for everyone to consider. However, if you ask me I would be happy to have (snipped from the README file):
rm: Computer Modern Roman sl: Computer Modern Slanted ti: Computer Modern Italic cc: Computer Modern Caps and Small Caps ui: Computer Modern Unslanted Italic
is this oen really used?
sc: Computer Modern Slanted Caps and Small Caps ci: Computer Modern Classical Serif Italic
is that one used?

"Each font shape comes in 14 font sizes ranging from 5pt to 35.83pt (or 11 font sizes for typewriter fonts ranging from 8pt to 35.83pt)."
I don't think all sizes are necessary.
if we stick to 10pt as base ... (see type-cbg.tex)
and moreover it would be nice to have
sform5 .. sform10: Computer Modern Concrete Roman sfosl5 .. sfosl10: Computer Modern Concrete Slanted sfoti10: Computer Modern Concrete Italic sfocc10: Computer Modern Concrete Caps and Small Caps
ok, but a different set
(maybe not all sizes here either) and
sfbmr{8,9,10,17}: Computer Modern Bright Roman sfbmo{8,9,10,17}: Computer Modern Bright Oblique sfbsr{8,9,10,17}: Computer Modern Bright Semibold sfbso{8,9,10,17}: Computer Modern Bright Semibold Oblique sfbbx10: Computer Modern Bright Bold Extended sfbtl10: Computer Modern Typewriter Light sfbto10: Computer Modern Typewriter Light Oblique
used? keep in mind that cmsuper is far from perfect
Hm, well, this is all but ~18 (times 13 or 14 sizes)... so maybe it is worth to have them all? What do one loose? speed? work? If work, then I am ready to write what shall be written if you only show me for one font.
i don't want 75 meg font files; i can live with 2 meg extra in the minimal distribution, so a base of 10pt ones sounds ok to me so: - we need a koi vector (enco-koi) - a list of the 10pt font files that make sense
About the encodings: According to my russian friend koi8-r is the most common now, but utf is coming more and more. This is what one person said, so if someone else think it is different, they may very well be right (my friend is mostly TeX:ing on UNIX systems, and from what I read from search results, the koi8r and koi8-r (which seems to be the same?) are mostly used on UNIX and www. So maybe the windows 1521 encoding is still used by Windows users?)
However, I can't get it working with koi8-r. It works in LaTeX (tried with the russian "Not so short introduction to LaTeX" document, and it seemed to use t2a and koi8-r). Under ConTeXt, the document I try (the rexample.tex saved in koi8-r instead of windows 1521) compiles, I get russian letters, but the letters are at wrong places. I am using \enableregime[koi8-r], and saving the document in koi8-r encoding. Is there anything else I should do?
so where does this t2a then fit in? we can make koi the main one and move the t2's to some additional typescript [so that it no longer slows down things] that users can 'load' in their cont-sys.tex Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
