Overview
This page describes how to map a Sans Serif font to the \ss command and a Serif font to the \rm command.
Requirements
This example uses Nimbus, which is a GPL font. Check to see if Nimbus is available by running the following command:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=nimbus*
This should reveal a list similar to the following:
nimbusromno9lmedi nimbusromno9lmedi utmb8a.afm nimbusromno9lmedibold nimbusromno9lmedi utmb8a.afm nimbusromno9lmediital nimbusromno9lmediital utmbi8a.afm nimbusromno9lregu nimbusromno9lregu utmr8a.afm nimbusromno9lreguital nimbusromno9lreguital utmri8a.afm nimbusromno9lregunormal nimbusromno9lregu utmr8a.afm nimbussanlbold nimbussanlbold uhvb8a.afm nimbussanlboldital nimbussanlboldital uhvbo8a.afm nimbussanlregu nimbussanlregu uhvr8a.afm nimbussanlreguital nimbussanlreguital uhvro8a.afm nimbussanlregunormal nimbussanlregu uhvr8a.afm
If the font is not shown, you might have to install the font, which can be found on some systems at:
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts
You may use a different font; please see how to install fonts to MkIV for details.
Script
The ConTeXt code to configure the font follows:
% Enable Unicode fonts \enableregime[utf] % Enable Capital Letter use \setupcapitals[sc=yes] % Define a script named [serif][nimbus] \starttypescript [serif] [nimbus] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:nimbusromno9lregu] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [name:nimbusromno9lbold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [name:nimbusromno9lreguital] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [name:nimbusromno9lreguital] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [name:nimbusromno9lboldital] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [name:nimbusromno9lboldital] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [name:nimbusromno9lregu] \stoptypescript % Define a second script named [sans][nimbus] \starttypescript [sans] [nimbus] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [name:nimbussanlregu] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [name:nimbussanlbold] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [name:nimbussanlreguital] \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [name:nimbussanlreguital] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [name:nimbussanlboldital] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [name:nimbussanlboldital] \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [name:nimbussanlregu] \stoptypescript % Define the typeface nimbus; use serif for rm-fonts, sans serif for ss-fonts. \definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] \definetypeface [nimbus] [ss] [sans] [nimbus] % Indicate the typeface to use. \usetypescript[nimbus][uc] \setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,10pt] \starttext Regular, {\it Italic}, {\bf Bold}, {\bi Bold-Italic}, {\sc KaPiTaLe} \showbodyfont \stoptext
Both scripts map the fonts names to the different (existing) font style. Usage is implemented as follows:
1. The \setupbodyfont command calls the typeface nimbus. 1. The typeface nimbus calls the typescript [serif][nimbus] for the rm-fonts, or typescript [sans][nimbus] for the ss-fonts.
The scripts then map the fonts to different font styles.
Small extension
To show how to call a typescript directly we extend the script a little:
... \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [name:nimbusromno9lregu] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [nimbus] \definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] \definetypeface [nimbus] [ss] [sans] [nimbus] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[nimbus] \setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,10pt] \starttext ...
Annotations:
- A third typescript is defined named [nimbus]
- usetypescript calls the typescript [nimbus] in which the typeface [nimbus] is defined
- typeface [nimbus] and typescript [nimbus] are two totally different things
- if the typescript [nimbus] would not be called via usetypescript then the typeface [nimbus] would not be defined
