Usage of Adobe fonts with optical sizes.
A few fonts like Computer Modern are available with optical sizes.

This guide should help to use fonts from Adobe with optical sizes.

==Replacements==

Adobe provides four different sizes for their fonts, but not each
of them comes with every style like Bold or Italic, replacements
for these missing styles are defined in the <code>font:optical:...</code>
setups.

==Font assignments==

Each of the four sizes is designed for a specific size, e.g. Caption is
suitable between 4pt and 8pt, the Regular size between 9pt and 12pt ...

<texcode>
\starttypescript [serif] [optical] [size]

\definebodyfont [4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt] [rm]
[tf=SerifCaption-Regular sa 1,
bf=SerifCaption-Bold sa 1,
it=SerifCaption-Italic sa 1,
sl=SerifCaption-Slanted sa 1,
bi=SerifCaption-BoldItalic sa 1,
bs=SerifCaption-BoldSlanted sa 1,
sc=SerifCaption-Caps sa 1]

\definebodyfont [9pt,10pt,11pt,12pt] [rm]

==Typescripts==

To use the font in our document the font files need to be mapped
to the different symbolic names.

<texcode>
\starttypescript [serif] [minion-pro]

\definefontsynonym [Serif] [SerifRegular-Regular]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [SerifRegular-Bold]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [SerifRegular-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [SerifRegular-BoldItalic]

\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [serif] [minion-pro]

\setups[font:optical:serif]

\definefontsynonym [SerifDisplay-BoldItalic] [file:MinionPro-BoldItDisp] [features=default]

\stoptypescript
</texcode>

==Typeface==

In the final step is to define a typeface where the normal size values
are replaced with the size ranges.

<texcode>
\starttypescript [minion-pro]
\definetypeface [minion-pro] [rm] [serif] [minion-pro] [optical]
\stoptypescript
