If you don't have installed (MKII only; MKIV uses the [[TeX_Gyre]] fonts, see [[Fonts]]) You can use the various psnfss font metrics with ConTeXt'sfamilies by using commands like <tttexcode>texfont\usetypescript[times][ec]\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]</tttexcode>, you will have to change an internal mapping offilenames with the commands
\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding]Note that in the case of “helvetica” these lines should be replaced with:
or whatever encoding you want to use. After that you can setup your<texcode>font with\usetypescript[helvetica][ec]\setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt]</texcode>
\setupbodyfont[pos]or
and similar commands.<texcode>\usetypescript[helvetica][ec]\setupbodyfont[helvetica,12pt]\starttext\ss</texcode>
Added on July 5th, 2005 (by Otared K.):After some of us had difficulties using Postscript fonts, it seems that as of ConTeXt version 2005.06.27 (and pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3)) the following declarations are the appropriate way of using Postscript fonts (in this instance we say "times", but you can say "palatino")Here is an example:
Note == Notes == '''Pdftex warning messages''' You are likely to get some warnings from pdfetex like Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-times.map): cannot open font map file but these are harmless and can be ignored. '''Older ConTeXt releases (pre 2006.01.09)''' If you use an older ConTeXt release (like one that in the case came with your TeX installation) you will have to change an internal mapping of "helvetica" the last two lines should be replaced font filenames withthis command:
== How do I get In new ConTeXt releases, this has become the default behaviour. '''Even older ConTeXt releases''' If you are stuck on Debian 3.1 like me, or are running a ConTeXt release before August 2003,you can download the adobekb.tex file from [http://levana.de/context/ levana.de].Or maybe upgrading teTeX from [http://www. backports.org/ backports] will solve that? ==(make a list for all psnfss fonts)

Psnfss - Old Content (view source)
Revision as of 16:28, 10 September 2012

installed on your LaTeX system. One of its purposes is to access the
standard postscript fonts that printers have built in, also known as
the thirty five base fonts. (Note, however, that the Adobe Type 1 (postscript) fonts have been replacedby the [http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype/T1_to_OTF_FAQ.htm OpenType] standard,available in ConTeXt through the [[TeX_Gyre]] fonts.) Part of psnfss PSNFSS is a set of font metrics
(the tfm-files) that allows TeX to use the fonts for typesetting (TeX
only knows about metrics, not outlines).
'''PSNFSS contains the following fonts:'''
<table style="width:100%; border:1px solid #DDDDDD;">
<tr style="background-color:#CCCCCC;"><th>font family</th><th>styles</th><th>KB name</th><th>ConTeXt typescript</th></tr>
<tr><td>AvantGarde</td><td>4: Book, Demi + Oblique</td><td>pag</td><td>urwgothic, using the [[modules:urwgothic| urwgothic typescript]]</td></tr>
<tr style="background-color:#EEEEEE;"><td>Bookman</td><td>4: Light, Demi + Italic</td><td>pbk</td><td>bookman</td></tr>
<tr><td>Courier</td><td>4: (Normal), Bold + Oblique</td><td>pcr</td><td>courier (''tt'')</td></tr>

<tr><td>Zapf Dingbats</td><td>1: (Normal)</td><td>pzd</td><td>(access through symbols)</td></tr>
</table>
== How do I access these fonts from ConTeXt? ==
since helvetica is sans serif.
<texcode>
%\usetypescript [adobekb] [8r,ec]\loadmapfile [context-base]% uncomment for old ConTeXt\usetypescript[times][\defaultencodingec]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]
\starttext
\input knuth
\blank
And this is some maths with PostScript fonts.
\startformula
{a \over b} = {c \over d} \iff ad - bc = 0,
\qquad \int_0^{2\pi}\!\!\! \sin^2(x)dx =\pi,
\qquad {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0,
\qquad \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}{1 \over k^2} = {\pi^2 \over 6}.
\stopformula
Some ligatures: ffi, ffl.
\stoptext
</texcode>
== Examples of mixing typefaces ==
Suppose you want
* For normal text use the Times-Roman font
* For math's use a different font, i.e. Latin Modern
then use
<texcode>
\usetypescript[modern]
\usetypescript[times][ec]
\definetypeface[MyFace][rm][serif][times][default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface[MyFace][mm][math][modern][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[MyFace,12pt]
</texcode>
<texcode>
\usetypescript[helveticaadobekb][\defaultencoding]\setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss8r,12ptec]
</texcode>
