[NTG-context] Installing Type 1 fonts into ConTeXt

In my experience, you have to get the coordination between pfb and tfm exactly right. Things are case sensitive etc... I'm sure there's just a typo or mismatch somewhere I renamed all the fonts according to: http://www.tug.org/fontname/html/Bitstream-fonts.html#Bitstream-fonts I did this using a script, so there very little chance of error. Also, I'm currently installing in ~/texmf, however, say I'd want to makethese fonts available system-wide, what would be the correct place to movethem? Better to put them in texmf-local or, even better, texmf-project (may have to edit setuptex.bat in that case). I NEVER install anything in texmf if I can help it. See also the MyWay I wrote on this topic, maybe something in there will help. I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

Although they officially only accept PDFs generated with Adobe Acrobat, what they mean, is that they only guarantee that proper PDFs will print. Many tools generate semi rotten PDFs. I usually run 'pdfopt' on a PDF, which web optimizes a PDF by indexing it's resources. Pdfopt usually errors on a rotten PDF, so this _can_ be an indicator whether or not it'll print with Lulu. It's no guarantee though. So Lulu's policy seems rather bad on the surface, in practice working with Lulu isn't that bad at all.

Basically Lulu will print a 9.25x6.25 image onto their paper. Then a centered 9x6 page will be cut from that. This way full bleed print is achieved.

You could use otfinstall to install your opentype fonts. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/otfinstall I already noticed that script, however... It seems texfont already has support for OpenType. It has the --preproc and --lcdf parameters. After running: texfont --makepath --install -en=texnansi --ve=adobe --co=adobegaramondpro --preproc --lcdf It generated these files: /opt/texlive/texmf-local/fonts$ ls -1 tfm/adobe/adobegaramondpro/ texnansi-AGaramondPro-Regular--base.tfm texnansi-AGaramondPro-Regular--lcdfj.tfm texnansi-AGaramondPro-Regular.tfm texnansi-AGaramondPro-Semibold--base.tfm texnansi-AGaramondPro-Semibold--lcdfj.tfm texnansi-AGaramondPro-Semibold.tfm ... /opt/texlive/texmf-local/fonts$ ls -1 type1/adobe/adobegaramondpro/ AGaramondPro-Regular.pfb AGaramondPro-Semibold.pfb ... Why should I use otfinstall instead of texfont, besides the fact that texfont doesn't work? Is texfont incomplete? Or am I doing something wrong? What are the advantages/downsides of both? -- http://blog.pcode.nl/ http://www.linkselente.nl/ ___ 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 ___

What does it do? It simply defines the size and position of these boxes (which then become part of the document). In your case any(?) print shop then knows where to crop, even without any crop marks. See also http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/technotes/pdfboxes.pdf and (only german; sorry, couldn't find it on the english wiki) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format#Angaben_der_Seitengeometrie Basically Lulu will print a 9.25x6.25 image onto their paper. Then a centered 9x6 page will be cut from that. This way full bleed print is achieved. if they don't use them, you don't need them :) I can understand some basic German. I only live a couple of yards from the border. I guess my settings would be like this: Mediabox : 9.25 x 6.25 Cropbox : 9.25 x 6.25 Bleedbox : 9.25 x 6.25 Trimbox : 9.00 x 6.00 Artbox : 9.00 x 6.00 Should I supply metadata so pdfTeX can store this in the final PDF? If so, how do I do it? But Lulu probably doesn't use them... They accept PDFs make with Word/PDF-Printer, so it can't be _that_ complex.

Have you tried otfinst? The point of all these scripts is to make your life easier in generating metrics, auxiliary fonts and map files; if you tear yourself with questions before trying them much of their interest is lost on you. You're right. I'm just a curious person. I considerd texfont to be an 'official' tool, and I'd like to learn/stick to official stuff whenever possible (at least as long as that doesn't involve me losing my sanity). Is texfont incomplete? I have no idea; but at any rate it belongs to a clearly “older” generation of scripts. The latest available version has “version=2004.02.06” in the documentation part, and even without that you can spot it quite easily since it belongs to Hans' Perl period ;-) I didn't know Hans' had a Perl period... I guess that period has passed now... 2004 has been a while... Or am I doing something wrong? Probably not. What are the advantages/downsides of both? Why don't you try it for yourself? I'll give otfinstall a shot tomorrow.
