Hello,

after Patrick Gundlach convinced me at DANTE 2006 to switch the small scientific magazine project I'm currently working on for a client from LaTeX co ConTeXt, I'm now preparing a sample document for my client to convince him, and for that I need your help :)

I've spent the last two weeks getting in touch wich context and I must say I'm really impressed, nice work!

First challenge is that the document fonts are URW GaramondNo8 for the text and Bitstream Futura (really: Bitstream Geometric 211) for the headings. I managed quite easyly to install them with texfont and the instructions from the contextgarden wiki[1] and compile the sample document with either font family. But now I'm trying to (1) understand the typescript files and (2) build an own typescript putting those fonts together. This is what I have so far:

\usetypescriptfile[type-ugm] \usetypescriptfile[type-bfu]

\starttypescript [ifa][texnansi] \definetypeface [ifa] [rm] [serif] [garamond] [default] ~ [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [ifa] [ss] [sans] [futura] [default] ~ [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [ifa] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] ~ [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript

\usetypescript[ifa][texnansi] %\ifa \starttext

\ss \input knuth

\rm \input knuth \stoptext

(type-ugm.tex and type-bfu.tex are attached). What happens is: When I compile the file a is it is set in computer modern. To enable my fonts I have to comment out \starttypescript, \stoptypescript and \usetypescript and enable \ifa. How do I activate my fonts via a typescript. you can use \setuptypescript[...], but best is to just use:

\setupbodyfont[ifa] since the typescript mechanism is a layer on top of the more low level traditional-texie font mechanism so, you can have several typefaces alongside and switch between them; this is one of the reasons that typefaces exist: they enable you to construct combinations and use many of them in a document (mixed font families, math styles, etc) Hans 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
