Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to call \getscaledglyph to scale a
glyph only horizontally, leaving the height untouched? Or maybe an
alternate command?
I can sort of accomplish this with (for example)
\scale[sx=0.75,sy=1.0]{}{A}, but that encloses the glyph in an \hbox,
which can be problematic. \getscaledglyph doesn't cause me any
problems, except that it scales the height too.
\starttext
\definefontfeature[whatever][default][extend=2.5]
\definedfont[Serif*whatever at 12pt]
whatever
\stoptext
Thank you. One thing that \getscaledglyph does it works agnostic to the
currently selected font. For example:
scaling glyphs in one direction is kind of bad anyway so if you want
just one glyph you can do
\inframed{\scale[width=3em,height=1ex]{...}}
or whatever suits the purpose
\starttext
% This will print a sans “A” 1.5x larger than 12pt
\switchtobodyfont[12pt,sans]
\getscaledglyph{1.5}{}{A}\par
% This will print a serif “A” 1.5x larger than 10pt
\switchtobodyfont[10pt,serif]
\getscaledglyph{1.5}{}{A}\par
\stoptext
I’m guessing there isn’t a way to use \definedfont in a similar fashion?
\definedfont[Serif*whatever sa 1.5]
Also, I noticed that \definedfont doesn’t seem to play nicely with
\switchtobodyfont:
\starttext
\definefontfeature[whatever][default][extend=2.5]
% This looks ok
\switchtobodyfont[12pt,serif]
{\definedfont[Serif*whatever at 12pt] what}ever\par
% the “ever” is not printed properly, it overlaps itself
\switchtobodyfont[10pt,serif]
{\definedfont[Serif*whatever at 10pt] what}ever\par
\stoptext
Best,
Brian
