Hello, I'm working through the reference manual trying to understand how things work in regard to fonts. I'll be submitting clarifications and elaborations to the manual in an attempt to help other non-experts to grasp the design of ConTeXt.
There's a point that's confusing to me in section 5.5, Line spacing. On page 108 of the manual it says "Linespacing alters when a new bodyfont is used or when linespacing is deļ¬ned explicitly by \setupinterlinespace (which is explained later)" But on the next page it says, "When you make a font switch the linespacing is adapted when you give the command \setupinterlinespace without any setup parameters and also when you add the key reset, for example..." So here's why I'm confused. When you change fonts, (a) does linespacing get changed automatically, or (b) do you have to say \setupinterlinespace? If (a), then why does the second quote above seem to say you need \setupinterlinespace to make it happen? If (b), then isn't the first quote above inaccurate? Is there a distinction being drawn here between "when a new bodyfont is used" and "when you make a font switch", or are those just variant phrasings for what is intended to mean the same thing? Thanks for your help, Lars ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
