Re: Re[2]: [NTG-context] Greek font in Footnote problem

Guiseppe and Thomas A quick run though with my test file indicates that \def\localgreek#1{\scantokens{\Gf\enablegreek#1}} will work in the body text, but only if one enters the Greek code using double braces as follows: {\localgreek{Greek code}} With single braces either the Greek turns on and

I am having trouble getting Greek in footnote environment. The Greek appears as it should in the text body, but in a footnote all I get is the input. In short, ConTeXt \footnote seems to ignore the \localgreek command. I attach a brief test file that should produce the problem as well as

[NTG-context] Greek Font Problem SOLVED

Thanks to the very kind and patient efforts of Thomas Schmitz, I no longer get ugly bitmaps in typesetting Greek but lovely script. I am posting the solution to the problem in the hope that it might prove useful to others. PROBLEM: bitmap display of Greek fonts on typesetting. These fonts

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font problem

Thomas I am a novice at Unix and the intricacies of Gerbens distribution. So I am probably missing something. But, thus far, the only cont-sys.rme file that I have found is at the end of the path (a) /Library/TeTeX/share/texmf/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (b) inside the teTeX alias folder

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font problem

Alan, that's the right file, though if you use Gerben's installer, the teTeX directory in /Library is a symlink to /usr/local/teTeX (not the other way round). I have the same installation and the same file. Are you sure it doesn't contain those lines? It should, and mine does. How did you open

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font problem

Alan, had the same problems here. My workaround (I'm not sure if it's a solution): find the file texmf.local/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme. Comment out the following lines: \autoloadmapfilestrue \resetmapfiles \loadmapfile[original-base.map] \loadmapfile[ec-base.map] \loadmapfile[8r-base.map]

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font problem

Thomas On my system the sub-folder texmf.local/tex/context contains one folder /config and this has only one file in it, /cont-usr.tex. The path to this texmf.local folder is /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.local. I am puzzled by this: I have relied on i-Installer to set up the latest version of

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font

Thanks again for helping. I'm happy to say that I'm almost home free. The trick was to go via .vpl-files and edit them. The missing glyphs were somewhere in the table, I could simply copy and paste them in the right position; I then added ligatures for all the accents/breathings etc and

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font

Willi, thanks for being supportive. In the meantime, I have taken another step: by using tftopl, I produced a .pl-file of my font and edited it. I inserted a LIGTABLE with ligature (and kerning) information. After using pltotf and using the new .tfm, I had partial success: I get a lot of the

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font

Willi, thanks for your reply! The problem is: I do have proper tfm-files, and the font is installed properly (since it works). But given that classical (polytonic) Greek demands some unusual features, I think I will have to adapt the font by hand. On the /showfont map, for example, I can see

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font

OK, another step (in the right direction?). lgr-tex is an encoding for monotoniko Greek (i.e. has only the acute accent, the only one used in moderne dimotiki Greek), so not suitable. However, it refers to a file of the CB-Greek family cblig.mf, which contains just the information I was

Re: [NTG-context] Greek font

Well, it's me again. I spent the entire weekend trying to set this up, but so far, I haven't had any real success. I tried a couple of things like different encodings with pfaedit, I tried texfont, fontinst, t1utils... I thought that defining the ligatures in a .vf-file would be the best
