How do I turn on Lucida Bright for an entire document? The TeX-installation contains hl... and lb... tfms and lb... pfbs.

I had some luck using the examples in the showfont.pdf document. I think it was \usetypescript [lucida] [texnansi] \switchtotypeface [lucida] [9pt]

This didn't work. The trouble is that Context creates fontnames such as ec-lbr or texnansi-lbr which of course it cannot find. Where is this showfont.pdf file? It isn't listed in collect.htm; all I found there was mfonts.pdf, which might have the answer hidden somewhere, but that document seemed too much in-depth for what ought to be a simple question. From a mailing list archive I found a listing by Hans for a file type-ven.tex which didn't work either. -- Siep Kroonenberg siep@elvenkind.com

Yeah, don't forget to do \setupbodyfont ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Graham" To: Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 1:03 AM Subject: Re: [NTG-context] lucida

This works for me:

\setupbodyfont[lbr]

After I installed the 10-23-2002 version, I couldn't get any of the postcript fonts to work. So I ended copying all the .afm and .pfb postscript files into a temporary directory, and running texfont on the whole bunch. Now they work fine. I don't have the lucida .pfb or .pfa files installed on my system, so these fonts won't work until I get the .pfb files (is this right?). Maybe you should check for the existence of the lucida .pfb files on your system as a starting point. If you find them, read mtexfont.pdf and follow the instructions for installing a new font on the lucida font files. You should be in business then. I'm just learning myself, and this may be all wrong. Please enlighten me if so; I find the ConTeXt font system to be difficult to understand, although it is beginning to make some sense. -- Larry Stamm McBride, BC Canada http://www.larrystamm.com

Thanks for your input.

Hans, can you confirm that there is no simple way to use an existing Lucida installation and that this is really necessary? And what about other PostScript fonts?

with existing i guess that youy mean berry names. if someone is willing to figure out how those barry names map onto internal names ... internally for instance SerifBold maps onto LucidaBright-Demi which maps onto <typefaceencoding>-lbd so what's needed is something \starttypescript [lucida] [texnansi] % or something else that suits, maybe just [texnansi] alone \definefontsynonym [texnansi-lbd] [some kind of berry name] [encoding=texnansi] or \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright-Demi] [some berry name] [encoding=texnansi] ... and add that script to say mynames.tex and then say \usettypescriptfile[mynames] then things should work with \usetypescript [lucida] [texnansi] \setupbodyfont [lucida] So, it's definitely possible, but i'm not going to make those mappings myself -) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
