Hi David,
the numeric values for the options are scaling factors.
These are relative sizes to the value set in \setupbodyfont (or 12pt by
default, when none is set).
So dimension units doesn’t make any sense in these options.
Your command should read:
\setupbodyfontenvironment
[default]
[em=italic,
x=0.9,
xx=0.8,
b=1.4,
c=1.6,
d=1.8,
e=2.4,
small=0.8]
Removed a size, since its value isn’t different from the default.
When you change the values for a certain font size you can use dimensions.
\setupbodyfontenvironment
[10pt]
[x=8.0pt,
a=20.0pt]
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
\starttext
text {\tfa text} {\tfx text}
\stoptext

Missing \endcsname inserted ! You can't use `\dimexpr' in restricted horizontal mode If I change the above to just: \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] then the .tex compiles and runs and generates PDF output, albeit with the wrong point sizes.

Re: [NTG-context] simplefonts vs typescripts
I am still not able to set up the Noto fonts due mostly to sketchy/lack-of documentation on setting up ConTeXt fonts. I understand I need to set up typescripts but do not understand the syntax and/or semantics of the different commands and how to map the font names/paths (otf and ttf files) to reference them in the typescripts. I would like to create a utility that will create the typescript file for MKIV from the otf/ttf files themselves. Please provide me with any help/documentation. Thanks.

You don’t have to write a typescript to use the fonts when you use the
\definefontfamily command.
When you use Windows or Mac OS on your Computer you can put the files in the
normal font folder
and update the font database with “mtxrun —script font —reload”. After wards
the following font
setuos in your document is enough to use Noto Serif and Sans. When you use
Linux you can
either put the font files in your local TeX directory or set the OSFONTDIR
variable before
you update the font database.
\definefontfamily [noto] [rm] [Noto Serif]
\definefontfamily [noto] [ss] [Noto Sans]
\definefontfamily [noto] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math]
\setupbodyfont[noto]
\starttext
\rm Noto Serif {\it Italic} and {\bf Bold}
\ss Noto Sans {\it Italic} and {\bf Bold}
\stoptext

[NTG-context] simplefonts vs typescripts
I have been trying for weeks to set up the Google Noto fonts for ConTeXt. I have tried (but do not understand all the syntax and parameters of) typescripts and simplefonts. It seems that I probably should gravitate towards typescripts because the typescripts seem to be what comes with the distribution of other fonts. Is there detailed documentation describing all the parameters in detail and giving examples? All I found is some vague examples without any explanations in the contextgarden.net wiki. Is there a tool that I can use to look at the .ttf or .otf file and discern the values I need to put into the typescripts? Is there a tool to generate typescripts from the .ttf and/or .otf files or would one be easy for me to write in say Korn, Perl, or Python? Please advise! Thanks.

Please advise! - if you know the names of the fonts simplefonts is the way for a fast setup - otherwise you can look at e.g. type-imp-mscore and make a typescript (in mkiv normally only a few lines so having that scripted is (1) overkill and (2) duplicates simplefonts) typescripts used with filenames are a robust way to be future proof as fonts can change (for the same reason even system fonts can be be copied to tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/data) Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
