Hi. I want to use Computer Modern Unicode fonts in my document. I made a link from $TEXLIVE2010/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/cm-unicode to $CONTEXT_MINIMAL/tex/texmf-fonts/opentype/public but couldn't get CM-U font in the document. What should I do to use them? I'm using MkIV. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov

This is probably due to the fact that Context MKIV uses a database for its info on fonts. I would suggest, that you copy the font from TeXlive directly into the tree where the minimals reside an run "context --generate" to update the database. Willi On 30 Sep 2010, at 10:05, Vladimir Lomov wrote:

you have to make typescript for them as they are not supported out of the box; we use lm fonts (which are unicode) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

LM have no Cyrillic, but CM-U have, and I think that is why he wants to use them, and IMHO it deserves including a typescript for it and may be including the fonts in minimals too since there seem not to be any Cyrillic CM fonts there.

Yes, exactly. CM-U has Cyrillic while LM not. And I fount 'type-cmu.mkiv' but couldn't get it to work.

the database is not needed when filenames are used Ok. Suppose that I place in currect directory the file 'type-cmu.mkiv' (attached, sorry Wolfgang, I don't mention in the file that I changed it, I need it for test only) and run as usual $ context ex_ru.tex (and I also change '\usetypescriptfile' to '\usetypefile' because then I see in terminal output that local 'type-cmu.mkiv' is used) but again I don't get CM-U fonts.

Hi Wolfgang. Do you know the usual delay time betweeen upload and when fresh files will be in minimal? P.S. Seems that uploads not go to minimal.contextgarden.net or source.contextgarden.net immediately or automatically. -- An atom-blaster is a good weapon, but it can point both ways. -- Isaac Asimov

Only god knows that, I think. Delay for updating ConTeXt is 15 minutes, but only if something changes then everything else will be updated as well. The rest is updated at least once per day, but there are some other triggers ...

They do go automatically, but not immediately (given the frequency of updates of modules, I never considered this to be a problem so far; but we could add a trigger on modules website, so that the update would happen automatically; just not now since the modules might change). Mojca

I thought that some daemon makes updates: after someon upload new file on garden daemon updates files for context minimal, so I assume that daemon do it once a day. I'll wait.

Hi Mojca.

source.contextgarden.net: 2010-03-30: not sure what this means.

This means that source browser for ConTeXt dates back to the times when Hans was releasing a new current version of ConTeXt every few days. Now he started distributing the betas on a regular basis and current ConTeXt simply hasn't been updated since March. The source browser only shows the current version of ConTeXt.

minimals.contextgarden.net: Last modified - 2010-09-30 - setup .

This one might be an indicator of last update, yes. But then it's best to check http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/beta/tex/context/base/cont... or maybe the files you are interested in: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/modules/t-typescripts/tex/context/... which date to 30-Sep-2010 14:19 Mojca PS: I will try to remember to add these font to minimals in a month or so

1. If I comment '\usemodule[fnt-29]' (seems that I don't have it) and '\ctxlua' line and add '\input ru_li2.tex' after it then I don't get CM-U, but I see in output message that 'cmunrm not found'. 2. If I move fonts (or link) from $CONTEXT_MINIMAL/tex/texmf-fonts/opentype/public/cm-unicode to $CONTEXT_MINIMAL/tex/texmf-local/fonts/opentype/public/cm-unicode and run context on the same document it will work. As well as if fonts are in $CONTEXT_MINIMAL/tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/opentype/public/cm-unicode the document will be ok. My first place to put fonts was incorrect. -- Eagleson's Law: Any code of your own that you haven't looked at for six or more months, might as well have been written by someone else.

Hi.

I meant that I ran (several times) 'context --generate' after I made a link to cm-unicode.

You actually need `mtxrun -script fonts --reload` to update font database.

the database is not needed when filenames are used

Hi.

I want to use Computer Modern Unicode fonts in my document. I made a link from $TEXLIVE2010/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/cm-unicode to $CONTEXT_MINIMAL/tex/texmf-fonts/opentype/public but couldn't get CM-U font in the document. What should I do to use them?

you have to make typescript for them as they are not supported out of the box; we use lm fonts (which are unicode)

LM have no Cyrillic, but CM-U have, and I think that is why he wants to use them, and IMHO it deserves including a typescript for it and may be including the fonts in minimals too since there seem not to be any Cyrillic CM fonts there.

If these are the huge traced cm supers I'd rather not have them in the minimals but as extra as they consume a log of space. If it's just cyrillic .. maybe it's more interesting to use fallbacks, given that we have a cyrillic only variant available for that (there are type ones as we have support for the t2* encodings in mkii). Btw, one of the reasons why lm/gyre have no cyrillic (or had cyrilic removed) is that in spit of all efforts to locate people, no one is willing to check them and do some quality control. It has been discussed before: if there is a group of volunteers the glyphs might show up again in the fonts.

Hi. 2010/9/30 Hans Hagen :

...

If these are the huge traced cm supers I'd rather not have them in the minimals but as extra as they consume a log of space. No, it's otf fonts. For reference you could see this branch: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm-unicode/fonts/otf/

If it's just cyrillic .. maybe it's more interesting to use fallbacks, given that we have a cyrillic only variant available for that (there are type ones as we have support for the t2* encodings in mkii). It's not the only way to get Cyrillic as any other language in ConTeXt.

Btw, one of the reasons why lm/gyre have no cyrillic (or had cyrilic removed) is that in spit of all efforts to locate people, no one is willing to check them and do some quality control. It has been discussed before: if there is a group of volunteers the glyphs might show up again in the fonts. If I not mistake part of work in cm-super was done by Vladimir Volovich (or whole work?).

So, I should ask Wolfgang Schuster (author of type-cmu.mkiv) what could be wrong with the document? May be I do completely wrong with that typescript? Khaled Hosny == KH: KH>You actually need `mtxrun -script fonts --reload` to update font database. I tried. Without success. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov
