Re: [NTG-context] Symbols
Hans,
thank you very much for this section. - I see that the approach is different
from what I was trying to do. - I will study and try it!

Re: [NTG-context] Symbols
On 11/20/2012 5:21 PM, Willi Egger wrote:
Hi all,
could someone bring light into the way how to use symbols…in MKIV
I wanted to extract a symbol from uzdr (Zapfdingbats).
(Somehow uzdr.afm and uzdr.pfb are not in my tex tree. I always thought
that they were part of the standalone but nothing surprises me as these
fonts have a history of instability.)
(Copied from an upcoming font manual:)
\startsection[title=Unicoding]
Nowadays we will mostly use fonts that ship with a \UNICODE\ aware
encoding. And
in \CONTEXT, even if we use a \TYPEONE\ font, it gets mapped onto \UNICODE.
However, there are some exceptions, for instance the Zapf Dingbats in
\TYPEONE\
format. These have a rather obscure private encoding and the glyph names
run from
\type {a1} upto \type {a206} and have no relation to what the glyph
represents.
In the case of Dingbats we're somewhat lucky that they ended up in
\UNICODE, so
we can relocate the glyphs to match their rightful place. This is done
by means
of a goodies file. We already discussed this in \in {section} [goodies]
so we
only repeat the usage.
\startbuffer
\definefontfeature
[dingbats]
[mode=base,
goodies=dingbats,
unicoding=yes]
\definefontsynonym
[ZapfDingbats]
[file:uzdr.afm]
[features=dingbats]
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer \getbuffer
I tend to qualify the Dingbat font in \TEX\ distributions as rather unstable
because of name changes and them either or not being included. Therefore
it's best to
use the hard coded name because that triggers the most visible error
message when
the font is not found.
A font like this can for instance be used with the glyph placement
macros as is
demonstrated below. In the last line we see that a direct \UTF\ input
also works
out well.

There's a LaTeX package... Anyway, thnx for mentioning LinLibertine, Wolfgang; downloding it now. Unfortunately they don't have a monospace font :-( For serious utf-8 work in an editor it's indispensable. I'm using Arial Unicode MS in the meantime (ugh). SC Unipad has the best and most complete unicode editing font out there (both mono and var options) but it's a bitmap and tied to the application. SIL has some pretty complete fonts as well. Doulos is pretty complete as far as Latin extensions are concerned, and is probably the richest font after Arial Unicode (which is still over an order of magnitude bigger). But the idea of a virtual uniode font is a good idea and I'd like to help.

There are two different lists (for new and for "old" fonts) at different versions, one of the latests being. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/aglfn.txt # Name: Adobe Glyph List For New Fonts # Table version: 1.6 # Date: 30 Januaury 2006 I have no idea what exactly is in char-def.lua (perhaps the same as in contextnames.txt, which has been generated from the old list). > > > > Hans, should contextnames.txt be deleted now?

It has been created in order to clean up the encoding mess a bit (iso-8895-X, cp125X, viscii regimes - most regi-XXX files are autogenerated from that list), but now everthing from that list is in char-def.lua. (And char-def.lua is also used for autogenerating enco-utf, used in XeTeX initialisation.)

Do you really a contextname for every adobename in the list?
I would be enough for me access the glyphs by name, I don't a macro for
every character but the list for adobenames should be filled with the
information from glyphlist.txt.

I know XeTeX offers this method but method for XeTeX and LuaTeX would
be better, it could be used as replacement for \symbol a many
cases, untill you have the requestet glyph in your font but a fallback
mode would be nice in this situation.

One thing that you can try is to add
contextname='angleleft'
to the corresponding entry in char-def.lua and then use
\getglyph{name:TeXGyreHeros-Regular}{\angleleft}
improvements for char-def.lua are welcome anyway.
Hans, should contextnames.txt be deleted now? So that only one list
will be kept up to date.
XeTeX offers \XeTeXglyphdindex{angleleft} (in LuaTeX you can achieve
the same with some coding), but I agree that some high-level macro to
access glyphs by name might be handy.

Is it also possible to select glyphs with the "Adobe names", I saw you
have a complete list char-def.lua and it would be nice to write
\getnamedglyph{name:TeXGyreHeros-Regular}{angleleft} with the same
result as above.

BTW, fea files and font features are a bit flaky these days, in the

There has to be some way, right? I'm also quite willing to look into the luaTeX way of constructing a virtual font (I need some metrical and some math symbols which I want to take from a different font), but I'm not sure if there's any example out there how to do this.
