All,

Can someone give me a short test file to see if palatino will work on  
my system (GWTeX and Tiger).


For a texfont-installed version of the metrics, this should work:

  \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi]
  \switchtobodyfont[palatino]
  \starttext
  Hello World!
  \stoptext

For the psnfss (LaTeX) version, the minimal file is this:

  \usetypescript[adobekb][8r,ec]
  \usetypescript[palatino][ec]
  \switchtobodyfont[palatino]
  \starttext
  Hello World!
  \stoptext

for that one you need to run

texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat

(since you are familiar with texnansi  although better than ec, this 
encoding was never really supported in distributions, only by mouh, 
which is why you need to generate metrics yourself)

So the question is:


Here is my 2 cents (numbers refer to the sections).


- what can go out


 \setupsectionblock  (4)
 \indenting (34)
 twoletter language shortcuts (37)


- what should go in


  \mainlanguage
  endnotes
  environments
  arrangingpapersize
  quotesquotationsnarrower
  forms
  overlays
  typescripts
  regimes
  encodings?
  columnsets?
  natural tables?


- what should be updated


  special characters: explain e.g. \{ and \[ (3)
  rename Headers = Sectioning or Structure (5)
  perhaps TABLE gets to much attention (11)
  rename Definitions = Descriptions (15,16)
  comments should be explained earlier (37)
  modules (38)

  special characters: explain e.g. \{ and \[ (3)
That brings me to a thing I miss a lot. My LaTeX book had in the end a 
few pages with special characters, which is the main reason I still look 
in it.


I'd like to see - preferably at the last pages of the manual so one 
finds them quickly in the printed version:

- somewhere: -, --, ---, |-| etc.
- somewhere: \/ (German example: Auf\/lage) to prevent the ligature
- \dots
- How to enter: $  % # { } \ (esp. the \)
- text mode accents
 \'o \type{\'o}  (maybe mention \oaccute as well?)
 \SS\ \type{\SS}
and text mode symbols \copyright, \S, ...
- mention that for different languages some additional methods exists 
(e.g. de u - ü, s - ß; or for Greek; or ...)

- mathematical input
 Math accents
 Greek
 Symbols
 Maybe also AMS Symbols

In short I mean basically the following tables from \LATEX 
Kurzbeschreibung

(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/german/l2kurz.pdf):
- Page 19, Table 4 (accents and special letters) and Table 5 (symbols)
- page 32ff, Table 6 (math accents), Table 7 (small Greek letters), 
Table 8 (capital Greek letters), Table 9 (further symbols), Table 10 
(big operators), Table 11 (binary operators), Table 12 (relations), 
Table 13 (negated relations), Table 14 (arrows) and Table 15 (braces)

Hi all, I have created a typescript for one of that defines the Utopia expert font along with a few others and tries to make use of the Fourier math font. The use of my own 'Utopia' typescript is largely historical but it is also that the default one with ConTeXt seems a little off (missing headline/display but defines some variants that Linotype is unaware of?). In any case, below is what I have to define the math section but I'm getting some rather strange results with it. In particular, I'm not getting the correct sized parantheses when using '\left(' or '\biggl(' and math accent characters (
i.e. '\hat' and '\dot') are not above the character, but in the middle of it. I don't really know if this is the best way to define a math font within a typescript but it seems to get me most of the way there. NB, it is based on some of Adam's Euler typescript.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.Cheers,Randall

[NTG-context] Re: Math typescript question

2005-11-22 Thread Randall Skelton
Thanks to all who have read this thread, but I've come to the conclusion that I can probably live without the 'amsl' module.I originally thought that all of the alignment/gather and similar commands were piled in there but after taking a look, it appears to be mainly font wizardry. Some of the definitions in math-pln are really all I was looking for.
