Re: [NTG-context] the new simplefonts stuff
Wolfgang's wee bit of code is brilliant for finding out the details of
font names. The icing on the cake would be if it printed the details in
its own font so we could see what it looked like.
But in any case a useful bit of code. Thanks Wolfgang.

Re: [NTG-context] the new simplefonts stuff
On Debian, you can try: fc-list : family to list the family name. I was playing with this last night on my Debian Jessie system. The colon is a wildcard operator that will match all fonts on the system. I usually just grep the results for what I need.

of the font that \definefontfamily expects in the third argument?
For example,
\definefontfamily [dejavu] [serif] [DejaVu Serif]
works fine and sets the text in DejaVu Serif, but that’s not a name I
can find with mtxrun –scripts font:
ellen% mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern='*DejaVu*'|wc -l
28
ellen% mtxrun --script fonts --info --list --all --pattern='*DejaVu*'|grep
-i DejaVu Serif|wc -l

mtxrun --script fonts --info for Deja Vu doesn't
show that identifier anywhere. I want to find out what, for example,
Bookman is called.
\definetypeface [five] [rm] [serif] [bookman]
works fine and sets the text in some font that sure looks a lot like
Bookman to my eyes, but
\definefontfamily [five] [serif] [bookman]
doesn’t work at all and the text doesn’t show up.
ellen% mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern='*bookman*'|wc -l
5
I’ve looked all over for this... even tried understanding font-sel.mkvii
(with mediocre success).
You can take a look into the font manager of your os, attached is a screenshot
from my system
where you can see in the second column the name of the font which does also go
into the third
argument of the \definefontfamily command. This is also the same name which is
shown
in the font selection menu form MS Office or OpenOffice.
