Hello Hans,
thanks for the fast answer!
I am trying to use latex fonts (to be more precize: the allrunes
font) downloaded from the
what files do those fonts come with:
tfm vf afm pfb enc map
I have 16 different .tfm files. But also a lot of .mf files.
forget about the latex macros, they are not needed
OK, but how do I get context to use these fonts? I coulnd't find any
descent documentation regarding this.
i can only locate pfb files and a map file; it looks like one is
supposed to generate the tfm's with metafont (maybe you can ask the
author to put the tfm's in the zip as well) and i'm not going to clobber
my ststem with bitmaps
it comes down to:
\loadmapfile[allrunes.map]
\showfont[frucls]
\showfont[frucln]
\showfont[fruclr]
\showfont[fruclt]
\showfont[fruclm]
\showfont[fruclq]
this should give you something (given that the tfm files are present)
if that works, you can do:
\definefont[somerunes][frucls sa 1]
\somerunes abcdef
or, depending on how the fonts are organized you can set up a system
(see type-* files)
