[NTG-context] Re: How to use and not embed the 14 PDF standard 14 fonts?

2004-03-23 Thread Stefan Wachter
Thanks for the comments, Alex and Vit!

I now start to understand the relationships. The

updmap --setoption pdftexDownloadBase14 false

command is very useful. I managed to create PDFs without embedded fonts. 
Yet, I did not find a usable typescript that has the necessary settings. 
Therefore it would be of great help if you could attach ready to use 
typescript.

[NTG-context] 6 ways to ask for Times-Roman. Are they the same?

2004-03-23 Thread Stefan Wachter
Hi all.

Studying the pdftex.map file I found the following 6 TeX fonts that are 
used for Times-Roman:

ptmr8y, ptmr8r, rptmr, rtxptmr, tir and tmrm108r.

In the no download version of the map file, all these TeX fonts are 
mapped into Times-Roman. In the download the font utmr8a.pfb is 
embedded for them.

Are they the same? Is there a preferrable one? What role does the 
encoding play here?

Many thanks for your attention,
--Stefan
PS (Background): I try to write a type script for using the 14 base PDF 
fonts.

[NTG-context] How to rotate a single character on a line?

2004-03-23 Thread Stefan Wachter
Hi all.

I want to use some arrows of the ZapfDingbats fonts. Most of the arrows 
included in this font are directed from left to right. I tried to use 
\rotate to produce arrows directed to different directions. Yet, rotate 
produces new lines.

Example:

\definefontsynonym[ZapfDingbats][zd]
\definefont[Zapf][ZapfDingbats at 24pt]
\rotate[rotation=180]{\Zapf\char234} {\Zapf\char234}

The example is intended to produce an arrow directed to the left 
followed by an arrow directed to the right. The result however is an 
arrow directed to the left followed by a new line with an arrow directed 
to the right.

intended:
- -
result:
-
-
Does someone know how the new line can be suppressed?

Thanks,
--Stefan

Re: [NTG-context] playground for germans

Hello Hans,

Hm, how to determine whether I got the right set of files?

I just downloaded the latest beta-context, unpacked it and regenerated 
the formats. Then of course the mentioned line was uncommented.

Can this have to do with the virtual fonts? - Currently I still use the 
old fonts.

Kind regards Willi

strange, some kind of nested loading of type-syn.tex

are you sure that you have the right set of files?
