Hi Aditya,
Thanks for the hints: actually what I wanted to do was to use a calligraphic
font which is a little bit more « script-y » as you put it (in particular for
the letters A, B, D, S, U). Indeed using Khaled Hosny’s setup of xits one may
get what I wanted to do.
The solution suggested by Mikael is perfect when using Latin Modern in mkiv,
since it shows that in mkiv it is possible, and very easy, to use any opentype
font for the slots corresponding to uppercasescript and lowercasescript.
When using palatino, I have to uderstand yet how to use palatino also in math
mode… I don’t know what has to be changed in the following setup:
\definefontfamily [mainface] [math] [Latin Modern Math]
since replacing « Latin Modern Math » with « Palatino » does not work. Here is
the example in which I would like to have palatino in math mode (for instance
in \sin, or the variable x):
%%%% begin example
\definefallbackfamily[mainface][math][Asana
Math][range={uppercasescript,lowercasescript}]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Palatino]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [math] [Latin Modern Math]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
This is \type{\cal}:
${\cal ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}$
This is \type{\cal}:
${\cal abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}$
The space of distributions on $\Omega$ is denoted by ${\cal D}'(\Omega)$, while
${\cal S}({\Bbb R}^n)$ is the space of Schwartz functions, and ${\cal S}'({\Bbb
R}^n)$ is its dual.
Let $\phi(x) := \sin(|x|^2){\rm e}^{-|x|^2}$ and $T \in {\cal S}'({\Bbb R}^n)$
given above.
\stoptext
%%%% end example
When one says
\setupbodyfont[palatino]
instead of
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
then the font used in math mode is also palatino, but then the uppercasescript
is not what I would like to have…
Best regards: OK
