I would like to test and hopefully use this setup for _Street-Fighting Science and Engineering_. It should also give the setup a thorough workout. But I can't quite get the preamble right. The test file below typesets text and math in palatino. \usetypescriptfile[euler-with-pagella] \definebodyfontenvironment[10.5pt] \setupbodyfont[palatino,10.5pt] \starttext \input knuth \placeformula\startformula a^2 + b^2 = c^2. \stopformula \stoptext If I add \appendtoks \rm \to \everymathematics \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal, ucgreek=normal] just before \starttext, the math is typeset in roman pagella. What am I doing silly? Also, one of my reservations about using Euler for math, which readers complained about in _Street-Fighting Mathematics_, is that v and \nu (kinematic viscosity) look so similar. Do you know any way to make them more distinguishable, e.g. by substituting a different character? -Sanjoy > To use this feature you have to use `pagellaovereuler` as your math font. > For example, to use Euler with DejaVu fonts, use: > > > \usetypescriptfile[euler] > \starttypescript[mainface] > \definetypeface[mainface][rm][serif][dejavu] [default] > \definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans] [dejavu] [default] > \definetypeface[mainface][tt][mono] [dejavu] [default] > \definetypeface[mainface][mm][math] [pagellaovereuler][default] > \stoptypescript > > \setupbodyfont[mainface] > > \appendtoks \rm \to \everymathematics > \setupmathematics > [lcgreek=normal, ucgreek=normal] > > > There is a built-in typescript `euler-with-pagella` to use > `pagellaovereuler` as the math font and `pagella` as the text font. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
