Re: [NTG-context] is it useful to use the option "--fonts=all" when running first-setup-sh?

2019-06-25 Thread Andres Conrado
Tank you very much Pablo. I'll try that. They are proper latex fonts, tho,
so I'm no sure that will do. I also have a background i humanities and book
design, but I'm now making math books, go figure. It's very interesting
from a typographic point of view.

Now I'm more interested in seeing what happens with the last code I sent
here, in another message... "Strange behavior in somewhat complex layout"
Maybe nobody noticed it. I hope I can figure that out.

Hi Andrés,

I’m afraid that the consistency of message threads suffers with reply to
digest messages
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2019/thread.html).

At least, consider editing the subject and removing the irrelevant parts
from other messages, as suggested in:

Don’t get me wrong, a message may get no reply because it goes unnoticed.

Regarding Math Times Pro 2, I wonder whether
"\definefontfamily[mainface][mm][Math Times Pro 2]" would allow partial
usage.

But my background is in humanities and math is all Greek to me .

Just in cas it might help,

Pablo

Hi Andrés,

this sample works fine with both MkIV and LMTX (no --fonts=all required):

\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Utopia]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\input zapf
\stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
