[NTG-context] Problem with font mapping
Hello again, I seem to be running into all sorts of font problems. Now my document has suddenly turned bold. For example, running the following code results in "Test." being rendered in bold characters. \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Adobe Garamond Pro] \starttext Test. \stoptext Running "mtxrun --script font --list --pattern="*Garamond*" --all" reveals that there's something fishy about the font mapping: adobegaramondpro => agaramondprosemibold => AGaramondPro-Semibold.otf adobegaramondprobold => agaramondprosemibold => AGaramondPro-Semibold.otf adobegaramondprobolditalic => agaramondprosemibolditalic => AGaramondPro-SemiboldItalic.otf adobegaramondproitalic => agaramondprobolditalic => AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf adobegaramondpronormal => agaramondproregular => AGaramondPro-Regular.otf adobegaramondproregular => agaramondprobold => AGaramondPro-Bold.otf adobegaramondprosemibold => agaramondprosemibold => AGaramondPro-Semibold.otf agaramondprobold => agaramondprobold => AGaramondPro-Bold.otf agaramondprobolditalic => agaramondprobolditalic => AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf agaramondproitalic => agaramondproitalic => AGaramondPro-Italic.otf agaramondproregular => agaramondproregular => AGaramondPro-Regular.otf agaramondprosemibold => agaramondprosemibold => AGaramondPro-Semibold.otf agaramondprosemibolditalic => agaramondprosemibolditalic => AGaramondPro-SemiboldItalic.otf As you can see, agaramond... are mapped properly while adobegaramond... are mapped wrong.

[NTG-context] Fonts disappeared after updating ConTeXt
Hello, I just updated ConTeXt to the latest version (2009.11.13 12:45), and now all the fonts I have installed on my system seem to have mysteriously disappeared from ConTeXt's sight. Running "mtxrun --script fonts --list" displays only the fonts that are installed in the ConTeXt directory. I'm using Linux and fontconfig finds all the fonts just fine. Until now, I haven't had any problems using the fonts on my system after an update without any further actions. I did, however, run luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --generate context --make just to make sure that everything is up-to-date but that didn't make any difference. Have any font-related changes been made to ConTeXt in the past few weeks (the previous version that I used was from maybe a month ago) or what could be the cause of this?

I have to reply to my own mail because I just updated simplefonts and
noticed that the latest version behaves a bit differently. The
[oldstylefigures=yes] option still works perfectly, but now both
\setfontfeature{oldstyle} and \addfontfeaturetoset{oldstyle} result in small
caps not working at all.

With \setfontfeature{oldstyle}, I don't seem to get any small caps at all in
node mode. If I replace it with the line that you suggest below, small caps
seem to work well regardless of mode. So, problem solved for me. Thanks!

[NTG-context] Another small caps problem with some fonts (and old-style figures)
Hello again,
I just discovered another weird problem with small caps when using some
fonts, e.g. Adobe Jenson Pro or Adobe Garamond Pro.
When old-style figures are enabled, the code below generates "GEOff" instead
of "GEOFF". Another ligature bug, it seems -- which is strange because I
don't see why old-style figures should affect ligatures at all (not that I
know anything about these things), and also because the second line should
disable ligatures in small caps altogether.
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][liga=no]
\setfontfeature{oldstyle}
\setmainfont[Adobe Jenson Pro]
\starttext
{\sc Geoff}
\stoptext
I'm using the latest beta from yesterday. Again, I'd appreciate a workaround
for this, apart from disabling old-style figures.
Thanks,
Mika
P.S. Thanks to everyone who's replied to my bibliography questions. I'll get
back to it as soon as I've had time to try out the suggestions.

[NTG-context] Need help with bibliography
Hello, I'm planning to write my Master's thesis in history using ConTeXt, and I've done some experimenting on it to see if it's actually suitable for my purposes. Everything seems to be quite simple except for one thing: the bibliography. The bibliography guidelines for our history department are rather complex in comparison to the formats that come packaged with ConTeXt, and I have no idea how to implement them. So far, I've run into two problems: 1. This one's probably very simple: there's the /insertauthors macro for inserting the whole name of the author. But how do you insert just the last name of the author? 2. This one, on the other hand, is likely to be rather non-trivial: the bibliography needs to be broken up into several categories of sources. For example, audiovisual sources, newspaper sources and books should be listed under separate headings, somewhat like this: BIBLIOGRAPHY I. AUDIOVISUAL SOURCES [some sources] II. NEWSPAPER SOURCES [...] III. BOOKS [...] I've tried to decipher the source code of the Bib module but as I'm not particularly fluent in TeX, I haven't been able to make much headway so far. I'd appreciate some hints on where to start with this. I don't suppose there's any existing code for something like this? Maybe I'd be better off writing the bibliography by hand?

[NTG-context] Small caps problem/bug with some fonts
Hello all,
For some reason, the snippet below outputs 'ThOMAS' instead of 'THOMAS.'
This seems to be font dependent; at least Adobe Jenson Pro and Adobe
Garamond Pro produce 'Th,' while the other fonts that I've tried produce
'TH', as expected. I don't know whether the bug exists in the fonts
themselves or in the way they are handled by ConTeXt or the Simplefonts
module, or possibly some other part of the system. In any case, could you
suggest a work-around, please?
I'm using ConText version 2009.09.16 20:07 and Simplefonts version
2009.09.15.
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Adobe Jenson Pro]
\starttext
{\sc Thomas}
\stoptext
Thanks in advance,
Mika
