I have been trying for weeks to set up the Google Noto fonts for ConTeXt. I
have tried (but do not understand all the syntax and parameters of) typescripts
and simplefonts.
It seems that I probably should gravitate towards typescripts because the
typescripts seem to be what comes with the distribution of other fonts.
Is there detailed documentation describing all the parameters in detail and
giving examples? All I found is some vague examples without any explanations
in the contextgarden.net wiki.
Is there a tool that I can use to look at the .ttf or .otf file and discern the
values I need to put into the typescripts? Is there a tool to generate
typescripts from the .ttf and/or .otf files or would one be easy for me to
write in say Korn, Perl, or Python?
Please advise!
- if you know the names of the fonts simplefonts is the way for a fast setup
- otherwise you can look at e.g. type-imp-mscore and make a typescript
(in mkiv normally only a few lines so having that scripted is (1)
overkill and (2) duplicates simplefonts)
typescripts used with filenames are a robust way to be future proof as
fonts can change (for the same reason even system fonts can be be copied
to tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/data)
