[NTG-context] Fonts and equations
I have a context document with several equations. One really nice feature with equations is that by default you can search for variable names in equation in a PDF reader like acrobat. However, I needed to configure the document to use arial for the text. Once I do this, the equations are no longer searchable. I assume something happened to the mathematics font. How to I change the font for the document text, but keep the math equations searchable? Is there a way to change the document font, but not affect the math font? Here is a sample of how I configured the font. The equations are no longer searchable. % Load the Arial font values for regular, italics, bold, etc. \starttypescript [serif] [arial] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:arial] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [name:arialbold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [name:arialitalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted][name:arialitalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [name:arialbolditalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted][name:arialbolditalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [name:arial] \stoptypescript % Now we define the 'arial' font as an available option \definetypeface [arial][rm] [serif] [arial] % Set 'arial' 10pt as the default font for the document \setupbodyfont [arial,rm,10pt] \starttext $z_1 = x_1 + y_1$ $a = b + c$ \stoptext ___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] Fonts and equations
Henri, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to add the additional fonts, but this did not seem to make a difference. The math equations render fine, but a search performed for terms in an equation still does not work when I specify the font. When I remove the font specification, it works fine. There must be some difference in the font that is used even if I don't specify a math font. Any other thoughts about why the math font changes or how to get a math font that is searchable, or get back to the default math font? -Lance -- > > Message: 4 > Date: Fri, 18 May 2018 18:55:14 +1200 > From: Henri Menke > To: ntg-context@ntg.nl > Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Fonts and equations > Message-ID: <12743277-ebd0-67c7-2393-fe33e97bf...@gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed > > > > On 17/05/18 23:19, Lance Larsen wrote: > > I have a context document with several equations.
