Thanks Aditya. I will try to work with this and see where it leads me. Will
report with results as soon as I can.

ConTeXt, and I really need it (or will be just LaTeX for now).


You are trying to follow the installation process of opentype/ttf fonts. 
MTPro2 is a type1 font and to use them with luatex, you need to create a 
virtual opentype font. See $TEMXF/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/mdpus-math.lfg 
file for an example.

Re: [NTG-context] Using MTPro2 math Fonts with ConTeXt

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Thank you for your tips. I'm using Linux. }

However, as I researched the matter, it seems to me is not a trivial
task... these fonts were made with LaTeX/Plain TeX in mind. I don't even
know how I would implement the font options (like mtpfrak, mtpcal, etc).
The font comes with two versions: Type1 and TFM (no afm). I converted from
Type1 to AFM using fontforge, and the fonts script detects the files
but I have no idea how to use them. It seems it doesn't detect the fonts as
part of a family... I don't even know where I could start to make this
work. Maybe I will stick to LaTeX for the time being.

Thank you for your time.

Re: [NTG-context] Using MTPro2 math Fonts with ConTeXt

[Jean-Pierre Delange]

Andres,

1) If you are using Microsoft Windows, you have to set up the font directory 
before using ConTeXt, where you have placed your Maths fonts (i.e. in 
c:/windows/fonts) :
set OSFONTDIR=c:/windows/fonts
then type the following in a console ( in this directory : 
~/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin) :

context --generate
context --make

and :
mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Then test a file.

2) Note that if your are using some Linux like OS, to set up fonts is quite 
different :
export 
OSFONTDIR=~/home/user/.fonts//:/usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype/:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/truetype/:/usr/share/fonts/type1/

As you see, it is better to place the different kind of fonts in a directory in 
/usr/share/fonts (and in /home/your-user-name/.fonts)

Then :
context --generate
context --make

and :
mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Then test a file.

3) You can delete the font's cache by the following command (it works on both 
Windows and Linux) :
fc-cache -v -f

Then try again a test file.
