Re: [NTG-context] OT: Reflections on usability ConTeXt for typesetting of mathematics
Hello ConTeXist. 0. Do you think that this is only a problem for beginners of ConText or it is a general problem of ConTeXt? 1. How many of ConTeXt users use this tool for typesetting of non-elementary mathematics? 2. Are you satisfied with the results, which produces ConTeXt (thinking in the field of mathematics rate)? In general, yes. But there are some issues with TiKZ [http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/076384.html] and in some ocasions with columns (not balanced). Perhaps we could have a bug triage system for that? 3. What things do you need to have in ConTeXt study that one could bet mathematics at a reasonable level? One reason for ConTeXt is the ability of deal with XML and produce several outputs. Separation of content and presentation is also good. 4. Is ConTeXt able to substitute LaTeX to typesetting of math (e.g. in the future)? I join one person (I don't remember who) who says there could be more examples for learning people. I think an ideal think could be to have an equivalent The not so short introduction to LaTeX. 5. Can you think of any more questions that should be here? The community is good. All posted questions have posted answers. And Hans is the boss ;-) ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Hello Wolfgang,
according to [1] and Andrea's unanswered question:
You mean that I simply don’t need \usemodule[simplefonts][size=8pt]?
in which I'm very interested: How is fontswitching to other styles
(5pt,11pt,17.3pt or bold etc.) performed with \definefontfamily?
I.e. \switchtobodyfont[17.3pt] as in following example works, but is it
in the official context line? And a, b, c, x, xx no more?
\switchtobodyfont[17.3pt] and others will give me such messages:
fontsdefining unable to define 'unknown' as
'mainface-17.3pt-rm-tf-0-a-0'
therefore I think it's perhaps not the right command.
Btw, I'd wish really complete context examples in the manuals. They could spare
some
of my stupid questions.

[NTG-context] Additional typeface styles/alternatives with Selectfont
Dear List, I think Selectfont is great -- thank you, Wolfgang, for your work. However, I miss the features to define and use additional typeface styles and alternatives. Not everything fits in the predefined scheme of rm, ss, tt, hw, cg and mm, so it would be nice to have the possibility to define additional typeface styles. (I'm thinking for example about blackletter here.) It would also be nice if one could access arbitrary typeface alternatives, however the typeface creator has named them (e.g. something like semicondensed-ultrabold). At the moment, I think, it is only possible to map a few alternatives to the predefined switches.
