Hi, All--
I am attempting to typeset a book in ConTeXt, but I am having some
problems with chapter titles:
1) The font I am using for titles is completely different from the body
font. I am trying to experiment with a couple of different variants,
though. The following works fine:
\setuphead [chapter]
[ ....
style={\switchtobodyfont[CopperplateGothicCondensed, 15pt]},
.... ]
However, I may want to set the chapter titles in bold. So I've
tried:
style={\switchtobodyfont[CopperplateGothicCondensed-Bold, 15pt]},
but this doesn't work: the titles default to the body text font (a
Garamond clone). It's not that the bold font is unavailable, because
if I use the first version and add:
numberstyle=\bf
it has the expected/desired result: the chapter number appears in
Copperplate Gothic Condensed Bold. I have also looked through the
pertinent typescript and map files, and there are no misspellings;
the required font files (tfm, vf, and pfb) are all present.
Furthermore, I've checked the log file, and the right typescript and
map files are always loaded; also, there is nothing in missfont.log.
But somehow, when I specify the Bold font, it just doesn't get
loaded.
2) In order to get the titles just right, I may need to use customized
commands (used via the [text|number]command parameters of
\setuphead). But when I attempt to use such commands, TeX usually
fails with the error:
! Argument of [my command name] has an extra }.
This is not true as far as I can see--at least all the curly braces
match in the source file. Here is one example of a command that
causes the error:
\def\ChapterNumber#1 {
\switchtobodyfont [CopperplateGothicCondensed-Bold, 15pt]
#1
}
I've tried various commands; this one works:
\def\SmallSpace#1{\setupinterlinespace[line=1.6ex]#1}
but everything else I have tried fails. Is it something to do with
white space in the definition?
I am using the 2007-01-23 release of ConTeXt on 2 different machines.
Both run Linux, but on one I have teTeX 3.0, while on the other one I am
using the minimal TeX provided by Pragma ADE. I have run the same files
on both machines, and I don't think the TeX distribution makes any
difference.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
