[NTG-context] Font and Typescript Questions
Can someone please help me with the following questions so that I can use some of the typescripts that Wolfgang and some others have so kindly made available. I will use font Bera as an example, since I would like to use it. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.6 (1) How do I know if I have font Bera? As in, where on my computer do I look to see if I have font Bera installed? (2) If I do not have the font, how do I install Bera? I see that there are files on ctan. Where should I save this? (3) Once I have installed the font and I have downloaded Wolfgang's type-bera.tex file, where do I save this file? Can I save it where I save the third-party modules. Once I save it, do I run the usual texhash, followed by luatools --generate followed by context --make (4) Once I have accomplished the top three steps, how do I use it in a document? Do I just type \usetypescript[bera] \switchtobodyfont[bera,12pt] OR, do I also have to type \usemodule[type-bera] I would really appreciate any help. ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

As in, where on my computer do I look to see if I have font Bera installed? All my typescripts work with XeTeX/LuaTeX only, if you want to use pdfTeX write your own typescripts. You can show a list of all available fonts for LuaTeX with 'mtxrun -- script fonts --list' and for XeTeX with 'fc-list' on the terminal. Bera is a Bitsream Vera modification and I suggest to use DejaVu instead, you can find a link to the font in the file. (2) If I do not have the font, how do I install Bera? I see that there are files on ctan. Where should I save this? The easiest way is to install the font as normal system fonts. (3) Once I have installed the font and I have downloaded Wolfgang's type-bera.tex file, where do I save this file? Can I save it where I save the third-party modules. Once I save it, do I run the usual texhash, followed by luatools --generate followed by context --make Save the file in your local TeX tree, I have them under 'texmf-local/ tex/context/third/typescrips/'. Before you could use them TeX has to know about the file, to do this call 'mktexlsr' for XeTeX and 'luatools --generate' or 'context --generate' for LuaTeX. 'context --make' is only used to create a new format file for ConTeXt but you don't need this for third party files which are loaded at runtime. (4) Once I have accomplished the top three steps, how do I use it in a document?

As in, where on my computer do I look to see if I have font Bera installed? if you run the minimals, and probably also linux, this should tell you if the font has been cached. i'm not sure if the pattern is case sensitive. $ mtxrun --script font --list --pattern=*bera* (2) If I do not have the font, how do I install Bera? I see that there are files on ctan. Where should I save this? is it an OpenType font? on linux i just put it into my ~/.fonts/ dir.

Re: [NTG-context] Font and Typescript Questions
Wolfgang and Mohamed, thanks very much to both of you. I downloaded the deja vu font and installed it as I would install any other font on my Mac (using Add fonts feature in the font book). I see it listed now in the font book and can use it in word. However, it does not show up when I type mtxrun --script fonts --list in the terminal. I am not interested in using Xetex. I am using MKIV, which is I suppose Luatex and hence did not run mktexlsr. However, after I installed the font and saved the type-dejavu.tex file in the appropriate place, I did run luatools --generate. Do I have to do something so that it shows up in the list that I get by entering mtxrun --script fonts --list at the terminal? Thanks in advance for your help. ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
