ConTeXt includes several pre-defined `typescripts'. If you want to read more details about fonts in ConTeXt, then the wiki of ConTeXt may be useful; especially the pages: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts One of the examples which I like a lot is the installation of `Lucida' fonts in ConTeXt: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida The font installation instructions use Windows-like pathnames, but they are easy to translate to `Unix-speak' too :-) To answer the original questions: ``what font families are available?'' ``I assume the Postscript base set is easy.'' There are several typescripts available as predefined typescripts in ConTeXt. A nice demo of these typescripts in action can be found at: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/showfont.pdf This example PDF includes a typescript demo which uses the standard PostScript(TM) fonts (Times, Courier, and Helvetica) too :-) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
