In the fonts book I found the \definebodyfont command, but it does not
to do what I expected. What I need (for a poster) is a set of absolute
font sizes. I tried the code below. I put some quirks in, like the
huge value for "a", to see if it works, but it doesn't. It just uses
the preset proportions relative to the preceding fontsize command (in
the example, \tfx is bigger than \tf).

\definebodyfontenvironment[palatino][24pt][
   text = 24pt,
   small = 22pt,
   x = 22pt,
   scriptscript = 16pt,
   xx = 16pt,
   big=28pt,
   a = 80pt, % 28pt
   b = 40pt,
   c = 50pt,
   d = 50pt,
   interlinespace = 3ex,
   em = italic
]

\setupbodyfont[palatino,24pt]

\starttext
   \tf tf\\
   \tfa tfa\\
   \tfb tfb\\
   \tfx tfx\\
   \tfx tfx
\stoptext



When you have only a small amount of text the use of
\definebodyfontenvironment is overkill because you can use the
\definedfont command to set a certain font size.

\starttext

\start \definedfont[Serif at 20pt]
\input ward
\stop

\startfont[SansBoldItalic at 18pt]
\input ward
\stopfont

\stoptext

Nevertheless, I prefer to keep all the font and fontsize definitions and 
tweaks together in the preamble. This poster is not the only work I'm 
planning to do in ConTeXt, and I need to learn to swim while already in 
the water ;) .


Meanwhile I found the command \definebodyfontswitch and defined switches 
like \normalsize, \scriptsize, \large, \Large etc.


But this doesn't explain why \definebodyfontenvironment did not do 
anything in my MNWE. The fonts book is not very clear on its intended use.


BTW, I have no idea how all the strange line breaks crept into my code 
sample again. It seems tabs in a html mail are converted into line 
breaks somewhere along the line. I'll stick to plain text in the future.

For short texts where you want a certain style and size (e.g. a title 
page or a poster with few words) \definedfont is the recommended method, 
for larger amounts of the text (e.g. the abstract of a book) you can use 
\switchtobodyfont to change the size.
Meanwhile I found the command \definebodyfontswitch and defined 
switches like \normalsize, \scriptsize, \large, \Large etc.
The \definebodyfontswitch creates only a command which uses 
\switchtobodyfont with a fixed number of arguments.
But this doesn't explain why \definebodyfontenvironment did not do 
anything in my MNWE. The fonts book is not very clear on its intended 
use.

You put spaces before and after = which aren’t allowed there.

[NTG-context] environment flushright

2016-06-08 Thread Thomas A. Schmitz 
Hi all,

for a translation of poetry, I would like to have an environment which will 
typeset a split line in a way that the second part will be flushright - is this 
possible? So instead of

bla bla bla bla
bla

I get 

bla bla bla bla
bla

if (and only if) there’s a line break.

Thanks, and all best

Thomas

Thank you Wolfgang, that solves the mystery. (As the poster is for a 
philosophical association, "few words" is not applicable here.)

[NTG-context] beta

2016-06-08 Thread Hans Hagen 

Hi,

I uploaded a new beta. This version has (experimental) support for color 
fonts. (not to be confused with 'coloring text in a font').


\definefontfeature[svg][default][svg=yes]
\definefontfeature[colored][default][colr=yes]

% \definefont[Emoj][file:emojionecolor-svginot.ttf*default,svg]
% \definefont[Emoj][file:seguiemj.ttf*default,colored]

\definesymbol[bug1][\getglyphdirect{file:emojionecolor-svginot.ttf*svg}{\char"1F41B}]
\definesymbol[bug2][\getglyphdirect{file:seguiemj.ttf*colored} 
{\char"1F41B}]


\startTEXpage [width=10em,align=middle,offset=1em]
There are several kind of bugs, like \symbol [bug1] and \symbol [bug2],
also in \CONTEXT !
\stopTEXpage

The colr features uses (if present) the overlay method (microsoft fonts 
have that) which is quite clean and efficient, while the svg one uses 
(when present) svg information from the font. Caching the later one will 
take some initial time (due to conversion, i might figure out something 
better) and needs inkscape installed.


Attached an example. I didn't look too extensively for a font, but on 
the agenda is turning the cowfont in a color one (maybe for the ctx 
meeting). At some point I might add overloading of colors (for the 
overlay variant).


Hans

Btw, SVG fonts were removed from SVG 2.0 and considered as a deprecated feature:
