RE: [NTG-context] Encoding and mapping glyphs from an expert font
Hi Thomas, Adam, and all... = Original Message From Thomas A.Schmitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] So there is no simple answer to your question. TeX knows to pick up zerooldstyle instead of zero either 1. because you have a virtual font that says MAPFONT 1, so it knows it will have to use a different pfb than for the rest, or 2. because the encoding file points to character zerooldstyle within the ttf. You are right. I just realized that I misunderstood what Hans meant by avoiding virtual fonts: I was assuming all this time that the \usetypescript[map][latin-modern-os][texnansi] setup was mapping latin modern to cmmi10, etc. I looked at the log of a test file for latin-modern-os: no mention of cmmi10, etc. I looked at the pdf, listed all fonts, and boom, only one font, lmr12.pfb. I opened lmr12 in FontLab and, lo and behold, it contains a palette of old style numerals! So what Hans meant was that there is no need for a virtual font to remap lmr itself, not that you could actually map the numerals of lmr to cmmibi without a virtual font. The OldStyle to MathItalic mappings are apparently useful for local switches like \os, but not for global setups. Oh well, I certainly learned a lot about fonts and ConTeXt this past day-and-a-half, so I guess it was not a total waste of time. Now I guess I have to make some virtual fonts (sigh), so it's now on to Thomas' how-to.

[NTG-context] table won't break across page
I am trying to create a table that breaks across pages. I used the
example from the wiki. The table repeated its headers like it should
have, but it did not break across a page; it stuck the table on one
page.
Here is an excerpt from the file:
\placetable[here][tab:insurance]{Percentage of People without health
insurance in US}{\start
\starttablehead
\HL
\VL State \VL 3-year average(2001-2003) \VL 2-year average(2001-2002)
\VL\SR
\stoptablehead
\starttabletail
\HL[4]
\stoptabletail
\starttables[|l w(30mm)|l|l|]
\VL Alabama \VL 13.3 \VL 13.5
\VL\FR
\HL
\VL Alaska\VL 17.8 \VL 18.8
\VL\MR
\HL
...
\stoptables
\stop}
Thanks
Paul

The example on the wiki is messed up. I guess I could have fixed it,

Are your source fonts really Minion .pfbs, or are they from OpenType? With OpenType, you can use some nice TeXFont stuff to select the features (OSF, SC, alternates) without having to draw from two arbitrary encodings. I am very interested in the Open Type trickery. I have been wrestling for quite some time about the problem of multiple accents over ligatures in Arabic. I can do it in Aleph but the present procedure (due originally to Yannis) is much too slow and cumbersome, especially when dealing with huge fonts (my present virtual ovf has about 10,000 characters!). I finally found a solution that OpenType might help with--multiple glyphs for one character. I can implement this without OpenType, but OpenType opens the possiblity for word searches in Acrobat of Arabic text, something that is well-nigh impossible with the usual pfb approach. I have to admit that last issue is one that I've stepped lightly around. While we will still need huge fonts, the processing of complicated accents should be much faster with the approach I have in mind (smaller otp's and ovf's). It sounds a bit tricky with the eTeX line, because of the 256-character- per-TeX-font limit. Not necessarily impossible, but certainly contortionate. I'm led to think about XeTeX--a fair number of people on the list are happy with the AAT/OpenType support they get with some very sophisticated Arabic fonts. And when you consider the educational price of a Mac mini, you're still way below the price of some software packages... :) Do you think TeXFont can be tweaked to generate ovf's and ofm's as well? From my experience, it's certainly possible. For it to be done, it needs a confluence of time, motivation, and expertise! -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Those are supposed to be ellipses of the horizontal and vertical kind to
the effect that you perceived them to be (as ?, though). Anyway, you
can compile mutt with unicode support. You need to enable unicode
support in ncurses as well. Anyway, it doesn't matter much I suppose,
but I guess it's another one of those problems with mutt...,

[NTG-context] storm font
Hallo ConTeXters, I filally prepared first version of Storm fonts support. For now next 10 families are included: Lido, Aichel, Dynamo RE, Biblon, Libcziowes, Preissig (text+antikva), Preissig1918, Solpera, Serapion, Tyfa (text). Lido is free for non-commertioal use, so you can play with. Since now OpenType and TrueType versions of Lido are available from www.stormtype.com but unfortunately no Type1 version, I included Type1 to this distrib (see its licence). There is a catalog: http://typokvitek.com/stormcontext/stocat-prj.pdf Files: stormcontext.zip support itself stormcontext-lido.zip support only for Lido font stormcontext-cat.zip catalog and its sources storm-lido.zipType1 Lido: read the licence before installing! http://typokvitek.com/stormcontext/index.html I would like to incorporate the distr to the garden, but I believe it needs some file/dir name changes. Suggestions are welcomed. vit ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] Font encoding: \uppercased: \WORD
I came across the command \WORD{} in the manual (nice place to look, eh?). This does all capitals (it can be more than one word) and doesn't have the issue with diacritics that \uppercased was having for me.
Thanks,
David

Greetings all,
Taco mentioned the command \uppercased{to get all uppercase letters}, and it works just fineuntil I try to use my self-installed fonts. The quirks come up with diacritics, and this leads me to believe that there is an [encoding] or [regime] issue here, as I had similar issues earlier with the font in general. For example, with \uppercased{Krbel} I receive: KRBEL.
Do I need to make a statement of my intent in a typescript file or somewhere else to resolve this?

[NTG-context] Another font problem
I just ran into a smallish yet annoying font problem. After getting the Adobe Type Classics for Learning CD, I prepared a couple of fonts for work with ConTeXt. I was mostly successful. I wanted to have a Garamond with oldstyle figures as default, so I used a custom encoding vector; the only difference to texnansi was zerooldstyle etc instead of zero etc. This works well, but: in German, (mainlanguage[de]), I can't get the baseline double quotes to work. In the normal Garamond, ` in the source produces the desired result. In the oldstyle Garamond, I don't get the ligature (character 132 in texnansi), but instead what appears to be two commas juxtapposed. I assume this is some fallback defined somewhere. So the question is: what feature defines this ligature? It is language-specific and works only wihtin German text. And, more importantly: why doesn't this work with my modified texnansi-variant?
