Changes

Typescripts are Beware, the ConTeXt way of using fonts and defining font familiesexamples on this page work only with MkII / pdfTeX (i.e. neither XeTeX nor LuaTeX).

Sample typescript for the free text font [http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium Gentium].Installation instructions are at [[Installing a TrueType font, step by step - Old Content]].A typescript must live in your project folder or in another folder in your ConTeXt path (e.g., <tt>(texmf)/tex/context/user</tt>)

 \starttypescript [map] [gentium] [\defaultencoding] \loadmapfile [\defaultencoding-sil-gentium.map]

% mapping from PostScript name (or visible font name, this is if it's a TrueType font) to TFM file name% The second argument means that these names are loaded with either the 'gentium'% or 'gentium-alt' names. \starttypescript [serif] [gentium,gentium-alt] [\defaultencoding]% mapping is used by two "name" typescripts \definefontsynonym [GentiumAlt-ItalicGentium] [\defaultencoding-genai101genr101] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [GentiumAltGentium-Italic] [\defaultencoding-genar101geni101] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [Gentium-ItalicGentiumAlt] [\defaultencoding-geni101genar101][encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [GentiumGentiumAlt-Italic] [\defaultencoding-genr101genai101][encoding=\defaultencoding]

 \starttypescript [serif] [gentium] [name] \definefontsynonym [SerifBookSerif] [Gentium] \definefontsynonym [SerifBookItalicSerifItalic] [Gentium-Italic]

 \starttypescript [serif] [gentium-alt] [name] \usetypescript [serif] [gentium] [\defaultencoding] % use font name mapping \definefontsynonym [SerifBookSerif] [GentiumAlt] \definefontsynonym [SerifBookItalicSerifItalic] [GentiumAlt-Italic]

 \starttypescript [fiee] [sil-gentium] \definetypeface [sil-gentium] [rm] [serif] [gentium] [default][encoding=\defaultencoding]% \definetypeface [sil-gentium] [ss] [sans] [default] [default][encoding=\defaultencoding]% \definetypeface [sil-gentium] [tt] [mono] [default] [default][encoding=\defaultencoding]% \definetypeface [sil-gentium] [mm] [math] [default] [default][encoding=\defaultencoding]

The multiple mapping is not strictly needed, but increases flexibility. To use ityour new typescript, write the following in your environment file (or single TeX file):

\usetypescript[sil-gentium]\setupbodyfont[sil-gentium,rm,12pt] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default] [em=italic] % slanted is default emphasize in ConTeXt</texcode> The map file was written by [[texfont]] and lives in <tt>(texmf)/fonts/map/pdftex/context</tt>.It combines raw TFM (metrics), PostScript name, font file and encoding<texcode>% ec-sil-gentium.mapec-raw-genai101 GentiumAlt-Italic 4 < genai101.pfb ec.encec-raw-genar101 GentiumAlt 4 < genar101.pfb ec.encec-raw-geni101 Gentium-Italic 4 < geni101.pfb ec.encec-raw-genr101 Gentium 4 < genr101.pfb ec.enc

==The next step: making it more generic== If you'd like to write a typescript that handles many more encodings, somewhat more generically, here is one model to build upon:<texcode>% type-sil-gentium.tex% Typescript for serif family SIL Gentium % This is the first change we need to make: we list all the encodings it can match,% and then use that data within the typescript: \starttypescript [map] [gentium] [ec,texnansi,8r,t5,t2a,t2b,qx] \loadmapfile [\typescriptthree-sil-gentium.map file was written by ]\stoptypescript % We use the same technique. As the encoding variable shows up in the third% argument, we use \typescriptthree. \starttypescript [serif] [gentium] [ec,texnansi,8r,t5,t2a,t2b,qx] \definefontsynonym [Gentium] [\typescriptthree-genr101] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Gentium-Italic] [\typescriptthree-geni101] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [GentiumAlt] [\typescriptthree-genar101][encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [GentiumAlt-Italic] [\typescriptthree-genai101][encoding=\typescriptthree]\stoptypescript % Getting fancy: occasionally you want to access alternates from the main font: \starttypescript [serif] [gentium] [texfontname] \setups [font:fallback:serif] % We use the new (and lives fast loading) font fallbacks to cover bold markup. \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Gentium] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Gentium-Italic] % Gentium contains only two faces, so we map everything else on Italic \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [SerifItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [SerifItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [SerifItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldCaps] [SerifItalic] % markup of \Var[alt] results in <tt>a (subtle) font switch (Gentium's alternate glyphs change only some diacritics): \definefontvariant [Serif] [alt] [Alt] % unfortunately you need to define eight synonyms to handle the fallback cases: \definefontsynonym [SerifRegular] [Serif] \definefontsynonym [SerifRegularAlt] [GentiumAlt] % you must define "Regular" for every additional variant \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldAlt] [GentiumAlt] \definefontsynonym [SerifCapsAlt] [GentiumAlt] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalicAlt] [GentiumAlt-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlantedAlt] [GentiumAlt-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalicAlt] [GentiumAlt-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlantedAlt] [GentiumAlt-Italic]\stoptypescript % sample family definition% here we define only the serif (texmfrm)/fonts/map/pdftex/context</version. \starttypescript [sil-gentium] [ec,texnansi,8r,t5,t2a,t2b,qx] \definetypeface [sil-gentium] [rm] [serif] [gentium] [default] [encoding=\typescripttwo]% \definetypeface [sil-gentium] [ss] [sans] [default] [default] [encoding=\typescripttwo]% \definetypeface [sil-gentium] [tt>] [mono] [default] [default] [encoding=\typescripttwo]% \definetypeface [sil-gentium] [mm] [math] [default] [default] [encoding=\typescripttwo]\stoptypescript
