Hi all! I'm going to start using ConTeXt; I've been planning to do so for a few years, but now I finally have Internet access at home, so it's easier for me to look things up in the wiki (or ask here;)).
I have two questions. The first one is connected with fonts. I can't understand ConTeXt's font mechanism, which seems way too complicated for me; could anyone just tell me how I can switch to, e.g., Antykwa Poltawskiego (I'm Polish, so I'd like to use it;)) or, say, Pagella? Of course, I'd also like to be able to typeset Polish texts with them; will \enableregime[utf-8] \mainlanguage[pl] be enough (apart, of course, from adapting ConTeXt to Polish typography customs, like dots after chapter numbers etc.)? I think that that's what the wiki lacks: a beginner's guide on _using_ fonts (not _installing_ them or _messing_;) with them). If someone enlightens me on this, I could write something on the wiki about it. And the second, a bit "philosophical" question: the official manual is not so new. How do I learn ConTeXt best? I mean, are changes to the user interface since 2001 so big that I could run into troubles using the manual? Or are there some changes which make something easier/possible which was difficult/impossible at the time or writing the manual - how do I learn about these? And last but not least - Hans, thanks for such a great TeX macro package! Yours -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.faculty.fmcs.amu.edu.pl) It is impossible to split a cube into two cubes, a fourth power into two fourth powers and so on. I've found a remarkable proof of this fact, but unfortunately it's too long to fit into the signature. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : [email protected] / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
