Hi Contexters,
``Welcome to typeface hell'', describes my feelings correctly. I'm trying
to use the free postscript fonts that come with teTeX (urw palatino,
times, helvetica, courier and various others, you know the list) in ec
encoding.
I thinks I followed the instructions correctly, but still no luck. I'm
using teTeX 2.0 with the TeXLive binaries (the ``Gerben Wierda''
distribution) on Mac OS X 10.2.3 (Jaguar). The frustrating bit is that in
LaTeX everything comes preconfigured, but for ConTeXt I have to do it
myself. I also use this as a testcase before buying the lucida typefaces
(I want to be very sure I can install my fonts before shelling out the
money).
Here's a summary of what I've tried and noticed:
1 - I've used texfont on the type-ftm.dat file in the default installation
of the distribution. This fails, because the ec.enc file isn't found.
This seems correct, as it is named EC.enc (note that this is on hfs, a
case insensitive system). I renamed the file to ec.enc and tried again.
strange, i noticed some problems with the texnansi vector (different
versions) btu not with ec
2 - This time the encoding vector is found, and some files are generated.
However I get a nice bunch of rectangles, I assume mean that some
glyphs are missing. In fact I think the only glyphs that showed up are
`borrowed' from Computer Modern.
are you sure that you said \useencodign [ec] ?
Help!
My direct questions:
a - Did anyone succeed in using the free postscript fonts on Mac OS X,
using a distribution that I use (i.e. the most recent version)
all these fonts should work ok, did you try
\usetypescript [berry] [ec]
\setupencoding[default=ec]
......
b - What were the exact commands that you used? Can you send me a simple
test file?
c - Did you experience the same EC.enc vs ec.enc naming problem?
this is new to me, in my opinion all filenames should be lowercase
d - Do other platforms have the same problems with teTeX 2.0 (Hans: What
version of teTeX are you using on your linux system, since at your
place it obviously works ;-)
tex live
but, there are mac users on this list so ...
