This one shouldn't be needed unless you believe that there is an issue

Ideally take the latest version of lang-txt.lua, add a line for
esperanto for each translation and send it to Hans.

We ideally need them in a similar for as for other languages.

Feel free to provide additions for French as well. (I guess in that
case Hans will send the changes for proofreading to at least another
member.)

I'm not exactly up-to-date about what other settings might be needed
in addition, but translations inside lang-txt.lua sound like a good
starting point.

I submitted the PDF to the publisher already last August. At the time I was not 
yet aware of this happy development in MkIV, and so the book was made with MkII 
using XeTeX as the backend. But in view of the various advances that were made 
with MkIV, I hope to make the next book using that one.

For the recent book I had no great need for Indic hyphenation patterns, because 
all the Kannada text fragments were quite short and hyphenation could be done 
manually. But for longer texts (as I have in mind in an upcoming book), the 
patterns will be most welcome.

> Congratulations again for your excellent book,

Thank you!

Re: [NTG-context] new font trickery

2020-12-23 Thread Hans Hagen


On 12/23/2020 11:36 AM, mf wrote:
When I started using ConTeXt, font management gave me headaches because 
I expected fonts to be indefinitely scalable and not to be designed in 
advance at fixed sizes.


That came from using software like Word, where fonts are scalable at any 
size. Since I had no background in typesetting, I took vector, 
indefinitely scalable fonts for granted.

With that mindset a 48pt font is just a 10pt font scaled 4.8 times.

Then I knew about optical sizes, which were the norm with lead glyphs, 
because they came in heavy physical sets. And so the notion that as the 
font body gets bigger, the stroke gets thinner (so it's not just scaling).


I like this feature because it should make playing with sizes easier for 
people while lighter for machines, even though fixed sizes to be 
designed in advance enforce discipline and consistency in documents.
Of course we  can still keep the abstraction because we can define 
sizes, think of:


\definescaledfont[bfe][xscale=2000,yscale=6000,style=bf]

(just made this feature work in two directions, not yet uploaded).

But you're right, we have to educate users in this.

Actually, I was wondering iif this could be abused to do vertical hz ... 
filling a vbox / page with subtle scaling. It should be relatively easy 
to implement, so when I'm bored ...

Re: [NTG-context] new font trickery

2020-12-23 Thread mf

When I started using ConTeXt, font management gave me headaches because 
I expected fonts to be indefinitely scalable and not to be designed in 
advance at fixed sizes.


That came from using software like Word, where fonts are scalable at any 
size. Since I had no background in typesetting, I took vector, 
indefinitely scalable fonts for granted.

With that mindset a 48pt font is just a 10pt font scaled 4.8 times.

Then I knew about optical sizes, which were the norm with lead glyphs, 
because they came in heavy physical sets. And so the notion that as the 
font body gets bigger, the stroke gets thinner (so it's not just scaling).


I like this feature because it should make playing with sizes easier for 
people while lighter for machines, even though fixed sizes to be 
designed in advance enforce discipline and consistency in documents.

Using the Dutch name "koeieletters" gives results.


The get the normal cow digits you have to use

- cows or
- coloredcows

When you use

- sheep,
- koeieletters or
- coloredsheep

you get sheep digits.


\setupbodyfont[cow] doesn't work because it loads the typescript for MkII.
