I want to define sans to A.ttf, and if A.ttf is unavailable, B.ttf will be
used. So the question is, how to test whether a font is available? Or is it
possible to provide a list of candidates (e.g.,
\definefontsynonym[sans][name:A.ttf;name:B.ttf])?

You only have MikTeX and TeX Live. (I used to be a big MikTeX fan. Not

Hi,
I will let the other, more experienced posters answer the bulk of your

Thanks. But typography books are not the problem. I've seen many,
many, many of them, and each one makes me unhappy because I have
nowhere to try what they say. My dad is very good at typesetting,

Hi everyone,
I want to be able to use persian interface in context. So I tried to
create two files cont-pe.xml and cont-pe.tex for this purpose. Now my
questions are:
1- Am I supposed to just create these two files and then run context
--make cont-pe.
2- Can context accept these two files in UTF-8
This isn't actually a bug, \textdir TRT will reverse all text, try
setting \setupdirection[bidi=global] to enable the "experimental"
auto-bidi support.

Hi Maurício,
I understand your ambition to do it all your own way and do it at
least as well as the masters, preferably skipping the tedious process
of following their lead first ;-)
