Hi,
I just installed the univers and it makes a nice example of typescripts.
First i copied the floppy with afm/pfb/pfm onto my disk (scratch path).
There I ran
texfont --ven=linotype --col=univers --enc=texnansi --make --install
this copies the files to the right place and generated tfm's. Also, a test
file is generated that shoul dprocess out of the box
texnansi-linotype-univers.tex
Next comes making a typescript, say typeface.tex:
% we auto load the map file
\starttypescript [map] [texnansi]
\loadmapfile[texnansi-linotype-univers.map]
\stoptypescript
% from the test file we cut and paste and edit; watch the three sets
\starttypescript [sans] [univers,univers-light,univers-black] [name]
\definefontsynonym [Sans] [Univers]
\definefontsynonym [SansBold] [Univers-Bold]
\definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [Univers-Oblique]
\definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [Univers-BoldOblique]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [sans] [univers-light] [name]
\definefontsynonym [Sans] [Univers-Light]
\definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [Univers-LightOblique]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [sans] [univers-black] [name]
\definefontsynonym [Sans] [Univers-Black]
\definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [Univers-BlackOblique]
\definefontsynonym [SansBold] [Univers-Black]
\definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [Univers-BlackOblique]
\stoptypescript
% next we create a file name mapper
\starttypescript [sans] [univers,univers-black,univers-light] [texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Univers] [texnansi-LT50138]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Univers-Bold] [texnansi-LT50140]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Univers-Oblique] [texnansi-LT50139]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Univers-BoldOblique] [texnansi-LT50141]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Univers-Light] [texnansi-LT50136]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Univers-LightOblique] [texnansi-LT50137]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Univers-Black] [texnansi-LT50142]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [Univers-BlackOblique] [texnansi-LT50143]
[encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
Now we can make a test file:
% output=pdftex
\usetypescriptfile[typeface]
\definetypeface [normal] [ss] [sans] [univers] [default] [texnansi]
\definetypeface [light] [ss] [sans] [univers-light] [default] [texnansi]
\definetypeface [black] [ss] [sans] [univers-black] [default] [texnansi]
\starttext
\startbuffer
So this {\sl is an} example {\bf of an} linotype {\bs univers} typeface.
\stopbuffer
\setupbodyfont[normal,10pt] \getbuffer \par
\setupbodyfont[light, 10pt] \getbuffer \par
\setupbodyfont[black, 10pt] \getbuffer \par
\stoptext
Again, this should run without further efforts. As you can see, we use the
original filenames prefixed by texnansi-. If needed one can also generate
the caps alternatives, but i wonder if univers is suited for that.
