Hello there!

I was googling around, you mis-googled :-) http://www.google.com/cse?q=gentium&cx=016640200293943433883:w-6slqs1kjg&cof=FORID:0&sa=Special+Search

OpenType fonts with ConTeXt and XeTeX with precise sizes in points. I am trying to create a subsection style with Gentium 24pt.

following code should be work.

\starttypescript[serif][gentium-basic] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [GentiumBasic] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [GentiumBasicItalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [GentiumBasicBold] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][GentiumBasicBoldItalic] \stoptypescript

\starttypescript[serif][gentium-basic] \definefontsynonym[GentiumBasic] [file:GenBasR] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicItalic] [file:GenBasI] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicBold] [file:GenBasB] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicBoldItalic][file:GenBasBI][features=default] \stoptypescript

\starttypescript[gentium-basic] \definetypeface[gentium][rm][serif][gentium-basic][default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[gentium-basic]

\setupbodyfont[gentium]

\setupcolors[state=start] \def\subsectfont{\setupbodyfont[gentium,24pt]} \setuphead [subsection] [alternative=inmargin, numbercolor=orange, style=\subsectfont]

\definefont[subsectfont][Serif at 24pt] % Gentium as bodyfont or \definefont[subsectfont][GentiumBasic at 24pt] % Gentium is not the bodyfont and \setuphead [subsection] [alternative=inmargin, numbercolor=orange, style=subsectfont]

\starttext

\section {a section} \subsection {a subsection} \input knuth

\stoptext

Cheers

I really couldn't think that problem was font-dependent :)

Yes, thanks, works fine, but does it really use XeTeX? The wiki says: "XeTeX offers some nice features in terms of automatically finding related fonts in a family" which would be really convenient to use. I really can't find docs on the difference between XeTeX and non-XeTeX font handling in ConTeXt.

there is (and will be) no support for 'related fonts' 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Font tutorial is missing. Here you have some examples, but they are outdated: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_XeTeX One feature that only works with XeTeX is this one (copied from wiki): \definetypeface[Serapion][rm][Xserif][Serapion Pro] \setupbodyfont[Serapion, 12pt] this could also be: % no idea about proper name of that font; try to run "fc-list Gentium" \definetypeface[gentium-basic][rm][Xserif][Gentium Basic] \setupbodyfont[gentium-basic, 12pt] This will automatically assign bold, italic & bold italic. This doesn't work with LuaTeX (not because it cannot work, but because it has not been implemented). The procedure that works with both LuaTeX & XeTeX & basically does (almost) the same: \starttypescript[serif][gentium-basic] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [GentiumBasic] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [GentiumBasicItalic] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [GentiumBasicBold] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][GentiumBasicBoldItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][gentium-basic] \definefontsynonym[GentiumBasic] [file:GenBasR] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicItalic] [file:GenBasI] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicBold] [file:GenBasB] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[GentiumBasicBoldItalic][file:GenBasBI][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[gentium-basic] \definetypeface[gentium][rm][serif][gentium-basic][default] \stoptypescript The only difference is that Xsans uses the installed font (needs to be available to other applications as well; alternative is to call "name:" in all the definitions above), while "file:" will use the font file from somewhere in texmf tree (kpathsea needs to see it).

Cool, that clarifies a lot for me, thanks :) So \startypescript uses xetex after all!

it's more the reverse ... typescripts are the interface and deep down it is translated to the right commands for pdftex, zetex or luatex

Unfortunately, ConTeXt tends to compile this document three times before giving me the PDF. (Makes you wonder!)

normally there ar etwo runs (depends on how many changes in the documents); any macro package that uses multi pass data will do several runs to be sure that the cross refs and lists are ok (also, some pdf constructs use forward references that need to be resolved)

And anyway, what is the difference between typescripts and typefaces in ConTeXt terms? The only thing I found in docs was that \definefont works in the context of the current construction.

typescripts are just definitions and invoking a one of them (which itself may invoke another) will define a typeface which itself eventually results in a bunch of font definitions ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
