Old: A Beginner's Guide to Using Fonts in Mark IV (view source)
Revision as of 10:57, 28 August 2008
, 10:57, 28 August 2008deleted the sentence about type-otf; some more explanation at the beginning
This page tries to describe how to use different preinstalled (with the [[ConTeXt Minimals]]) typescripts with [[Mark IV|ConTeXt MkIV]]. It does ''not'' explain how this works; for this, consult [http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-fonts.pdf|the new manual chapter on fonts] or documents cited in [[Fonts]]. (These things are not easy. You have been warned!)
Note that this page is ''in preparation''---these things are difficult and I don't understand them fully. Some of the fonts mentioned below don't work for me; I hope to clear this soon.
I assume here that we have a working ConTeXt Mark IV installation, for example [[ConTeXt Minimals]]. In particular, we have LM fonts, the TeX Gyre collection and some other ones.
== Available typescripts ==
</texcode>
The first line loads the file type-otf.tex with necessary definitions. The second one seems to order ConTeXt to "install" (for the current file) the given typescript (it accepts what I have earlier called a "typescript name"). The last one starts using it (you may omit the size if you are satisfied with the default).
