Hello everyone,
After a long time I have some typesetting work in front of me...yippeee!
I am struggling with adapting my templates to the new integrated
simplefonts module, and hope that someone can help.
The three issues I am having are:
1. How does one find the proper expanded long name of the desired font.
For this project, I am using some fonts from The League of Moveable
Type (https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/).
I have reloaded the fonts, and can list them, in the traditional
manner. What I don't know is how to find the proper name for---say
Junction Light---to use as the third argument in
'\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Junction Light]'
The use of 'Junction Light' doesn't work, and neither does
'Junction-Light', nor 'junctionlight', nor even 'Junction, Light'
which I retrieve from Font Viewer under Linux. MWE follows at the
end of this email. I reference Wolfgang's response stating that the
expanded name must be used
(http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/077321.html).
$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=junction
resolvers | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf'
resolvers | caching | skipping 'files' for 'home:texmf' from

(version mismatch)
junction junctionbold
/home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/junction-master/Junction-bold.otf
junctionbold junctionbold
/home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/junction-master/Junction-bold.otf
junctionlight junctionlight
/home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/junction-master/Junction-light.otf
junctionregular junctionregular
/home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/TheLeagueOfMoveableType/junction-master/Junction-regular.otf
2. How does one switch fonts in-line for small snippets of text? I
used to use '{\simplefont[heydingsicons] q}123.345.67890', but this
now results in an error.
tex error > error on line 7 in file virtual://buffer.noname.1: !
Undefined control sequence
l.7 {\simplefont [heydingsicons] q}~123.456.7890
{\simplefont[heydingsicons..
3. This may be a more generic typescript mapping issue, but I still
struggle with understanding font mappings. I don't quite get how
the default mappings are done.
Look, for example, at Junction above. 'junction' is mapped to
'junctionbold' rather than 'junctionregular'. Is this just done by
taking the first in the list in alphabetic order?
Or how the League Gothic font is processed below. How is it that
leaguegothic is mapped to leaguegothiccondenseditalic by default?
What is the recommended way in this new simplefont scheme to set the
mappings for a document?
$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=leaguegothic
resolvers | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf'
resolvers | caching | skipping 'files' for 'home:texmf' from
'/opt/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/trees/54be04d87dd160089f572b19cb5c97e9'
(version mismatch)

leaguegothicregular leaguegothicregular

Many thanks.
