The code in "font-sel.mkvi" hints I could use range=chinese but it didn't work. I have to use interval {0x00400-0x2FA1F} explicitly.When you take a look into char-def.lua you can see names certain character ranges and “range=cyrillic”used such a name.For a chinese font you need “range={cjkunifiedideographs,cjkunifiedideographsextensiona,…}". Because the list with names is very long you do this setup only once with the \definefontfamilypresetcommand, e.g. \definefontfamilypreset[chinese][range={cjkunifiedideographs,cjkunifiedideographsextensiona,…}]and load this setup when you set the font with \definefontfamilyfallback, e.g.\definefontfamilyfallback[<typeface>][<style>][<font>][preset=chinese]For the moment I added three presets “chinese”, “japanese” and “korean” but they need better names, e.g. “range:chinese” because there could be also “features:chinese” etc.
Thanks for the descriptions. I have made a small test and turns out the "regularfont" has to be assigned to something or the other "xxxfont"s won't have any effects.And how can I assign the boldfont, italicfont and bolditalicfont? I'm currently using the Adobe Song Std as the regular font but it didn't come with a bold version or else, hence I might need this feature.The module provides keys to apply a certain font and feature for each alternative (upright, italic etc.)of a font, a complete list with all keys is shown in the table below. ------------------------------------------------------- | Alternative | Font | Feature | |-----------------------------------------------------| | tf | regularfont | regularfeatures | | it | italicfont | italicfeatures | | sl | slantedfont | slantedfeatures | | bf | boldfont | boldfeatures | | bi | bolditalicfont | bolditalicfeatures | | bs | boldslantedfont | boldslantedfeatures | | sc | smallcapsfont | smallcapsfeatures | -------------------------------------------------------The feature-keys expect the name from the \definefontfeature command, when you don’t specify a feature to a certain alternative the value from the “features” key is used.When you want to set a certain font for a alternative there are different ways, I’m going to show the different ways with a few examples where I change the font for italic.
Here's my code:
=================================================
\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [adobesongstd]
[range={0x00400-0x2FA1F}%
,regularfont=name:adobesongstdlight%
,italicfont=name:adobefangsongstdregular%
,boldfont=name:adobeheitistdregular%
,bolditalicfont=name:adobekaitistdregular%
,force=yes%
,features=song%
]
=================================================
and if I remove the "regularfont=..." line, the boldface Chinese
characters will use the Adobe Song Std font as well. Same thing happened
when I used the "preset=xxx" option which I don't know if it is intended
to behave like that, by the way.
Oh, and off the topic, can I use "effect" to assign the fonts? Like if I have defined
================================================= \defineeffect[mybold][alternative=both,rulethickness=\dimexpr\bodyfontsize/10\relax] ================================================= I would like to use this effect to apply to my bold fonts, maybe: ================================================= \setupfontfamily [serif] [DejaVu Serif] [boldfont=effect:mybold] =================================================I know this has nothing to do with this module. I just thought this might be interesting.
1. Use the filename of a font. With the “file:” prefix you can the tell the module to look for a file with the given name, when the file isn’t found the font from the tf-alternative is used. The file-method is also used when you omit the prefix.\setupfontfamily [serif] [DejaVu Serif] [italicfont=file:dejavuserifbold] \starttext Regular and \it Italic \stoptext2. Use a certain style. When you use the “style: ”prefix the module looks for a certainstyle of the requested font. \setupfontfamily [serif] [DejaVu Serif] [italicfont=style:bolditalic] \starttext Regular and \it Italic \stoptext3. Search for a font with a certain name. When you use the “name:” prefix the module looks for a font with the requested name. Names are internal values of a font whichis sometimes the same as the filename. \setupfontfamily [serif] [DejaVu Serif] [italicfont=name:dejavuserifbold] \starttext Regular and \it Italic \stoptext4. Use the spec information. When you use the “spec:” prefix you can request a font with a certain “weight” (bold or normal), “style” (italic or normal) and variant (smallcaps or normal).\setupfontfamily [serif] [DejaVu Serif] [italicfont=spec:bold-italic] \starttext Regular and \it Italic \stoptextThere is a possibility that I change the way to set font and features for alternativesin the feature to a way which is more compact and easier to parse in Lua.
