Re: [NTG-context] interesting font
Yes, sometimes life can be as simple as that: the latest version of lcdf-tools can handle the fonts without a problem. [Aside: according to Gerben's installer, this version is version 2.36, dated 2005/12/29, this is very advanced AFAICT.] Thanks, Adam, I feel a bit stupid now. I like the font. Maybe we should have a repository somewhere on Contextgarden where to put zips of metrics + map + encodings + typescripts: Patrick?

Eddie Kohler, the author, would probably want to be pointed to the font and use-case in case it's a bug on his end. It may well be faults in the font, though. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] interesting font
Dear all, quite by coincidence, I discovered a nice font for download. It is called GFSDidot and can be downloaded at http://greekfontsociety.org/ typefaces.html I became interested because it has a full set of polytoniko Greek characters, but the Latin typeface (which resembles Palatino) is very nice, too; it has (for the Regular variant) a full set of small caps, oldstyle figures, and full f-ligatures, so it's almost an expert font. The font is free; the readme says: You may use these fonts for personal and commercial use. These fonts may be freely redistributed, provided that you do not alter them in any way and that you credit GFS for this. These fonts are distributed free and may not be sold or resold for any purposes. The font comes in the usual four variants as an OpenType font. However, texfont and the lcdf-tools choked on the bold and bold italic with this message: ../include/lcdf/vector.hh:52: failed assertion `i=0 i_n' After converting them to pfb/afm (via cfftot1), installation was easy. If anyone (Adam??) can figure out what this message means, I'd be grateful nevertheless. Have a look and enjoy!
