Hi Aditya, many thanks for your detailed explanation at TeX.SE. It seems that \showfontstrip is the way to go. It won’t be easy to explain to newcomers, but I have to try. I agree with Thomas that Porson shouldn’t be scaled. But this is mainly because the font is totally different from other typefaces with Latin glyphs (such as Palatino or Times). Hans is right that glyph boldness is to be taken in consideration when scaling a typeface. In my personal case, what bothers me most is the different x-height between typefaces. Glyph boldness when scaling is changed, but I’d say that it isn’t as obvious as different x-height. rscale=auto would only be a value for an option, not even the default. Of course, it wouldn’t be mandatory. This would not prevent from scaling manually (or not scaling at all). But it would make things much easier when trying to calculate the same x-heights. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
