Dear Everyone,
Following my attempts to create and learn Context's ways to manage
fonts, I would like to ask about the following:
I've created the structure for fonts in texmf-local folder and after
running scripts they are listed. The output for Roboto Flex is as follows:
identifier familyname fontname
filename subfont instances
robotoflex robotoflex robotoflexregular
robotoflex.ttf thin extralight light regular medium semibold
bold extrabold black extrablack thinitalic extralightitalic lightitalic
italic mediumitalic semibolditalic bolditalic extrabolditalic
blackitalic extrablackitalic
What is the proper way to use family name or font name to create a
typescript file and a goodies file to take advantage of optical sizes.
Google's Roboto Flex is an upgraded Roboto as a variable font.
I know that this topic has been discussed many times and I've read the
fonts manual but still have these questions. Most of the examples are
rather ready solutions or templates but not always cover ways how to
figure out values from scratch and how they correspond.
all these naames and combining them into 'regular-bold' pairs is pretty
much a visual thing as these names are not used consistently; when you
just use four fonts, a simple few line tyopescript will do (no need to
make an imp file, just put it in your style)
(variable fonts is not really improving this)
