=== Switching to these fonts ==='''Even older ConTeXt releases'''
Psnfss - Old Content (view source)
Revision as of 16:28, 10 September 2012
, 16:28, 10 September 2012moved psnfss to Psnfss: move to Uppercase
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 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).
== How do I access these fonts from ConTeXt? ==
(MKII only; MKIV uses the [[TeX_Gyre]] fonts, see [[Fonts]])
You can use the various psnfss font families by using commands like
\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>
== Notes ==
In new ConTeXt releases, this has become the default behaviour.
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?
