Dear gang,
It seems that ConTeXt does not currently implement optical scaling for Latin
Modern -- at least not by default. For example:
=======
\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
Test {\tfa Test} {\tfb Test} {\tfc Test} {\tfd Test} {\tfx Test} {\tfxx Test}
\stopTEXpage
=======
In the log we have
=======
mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 2 files: latinmodern-math.otf,
lmroman10-regular.otf
=======
Is this behavior intentional? The needed sizes are certainly available
(/texmf/fonts/data/gust/lm).
yes, but there are also typescript that define the sizes (made more
sense on low res printers) .. the current defaults have been so for many
years (so the fact that you didn't notice ...)
these sizes are mostly for math and we have a 10pt lm math with built in
scritp and scriptscript
This issue came up while trying to test/implement something else. Although
Computer Modern / Latin Modern is perhaps hardly popular for contemporary
publication work, a full implementation of the full palette of optical sizes is
still useful as a benchmark, etc.
well you can load the design size typescript
(likely we will go for \enableexperiments[fonts.compact] anyway which is
also more efficient)
