Re: [NTG-context] Re: Expert fonts
Bruce, thanks, I just realized I have learned enought these past weeks to make ttf2tex work (on my Mac OS X, it would always complain that ttf2tfm was not able to get the right combination of PID and EID, but using the -N swicth solves that). So I end up with lots of files that should be working. But it would be wonderful to have an example of a setup that is known to work--how do I access all the hidden goodies of these fonts, how do I create the mapfiles? ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Hello,
with a lot of help of Lutz (member of this list) I am now able to produce
Context files and compile them to PDF. Now I am reading the documentation
and some emails from this list to learn some details.
I played a little bit with natural tables (also read the examples in
ennatab.pdf) - but I think that is not all what is possible with natural
tables. Wehre can I find a documetation with all options for nat. tabs?
At the examples there was no table with round corners. But I found a
parameter for it -I tried:
\\eTABLE[corner=round]
with the result: every cell was round.
It looks funny but is not the thing I was looking for.
I want to have round corners arround the table:
left corner top and bottom
right corner top and bottom
1. How does it work?
2. Where can I find all parameters/options for natural tables
(I googled with no success).

Well, that is exactly what I am trying to achieve: to have descriptions of all important commands. But that is up to the users of texshow-web to supply these. Perhaps "comment" is not enough. Do you think that it is wise to have editable fields for comment and description and examples? Patrick ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Any suggestions about this? Thanks! Thomas I don't recommend converting to type 1. Better to just use ttf2tex with its expert switch. That'll get you access to all the standard expert glyphs, though you'd need to write the typescripts. It'd be nice to see someone extend ttf2tex to do this too though (it already creates all the files for LaTeX).

[NTG-context] font scaling
After doing some work, I think I now have a wonderful working
collection of classical Greek fonts. There is one thing I'd love to
implement though, but I wonder if it's possible. i guess I have to
begin by describing my approach: every Greek font is provided by a .tex
file which has the following content (in part, this is Giuseppe
Bilotta's work, he got me started on this):
\definebodyfont[10pt,11pt,12pt,14pt][rm][Gf=Ibycus]
\def\enablegreek{\language[greek]\catcode`~=\other\catcode`|=\other\catc
ode`'=\other}
\def\startgreek{\par\begingroup\Gf\enablegreek}
\let\stopgreek\endgroup
\def\localgreek{\groupedcommand{\Gf\enablegreek}{}}
Then, the file declares a couple of special symbols like so
\define\koppa{\getglyph{Ibycus}{\char37}}
The Greek font is declared by using
\input Ibycus
in the preamble of the document. I have a collection of 6 fonts; when I
want to switch between them, I just replace \input Ibycus by \imput
someotherfile. All of this works wonderfully for the time being. Now
the problem: most of the time, I want to mix Greek and Latin fonts, and
in order to do this, some sort of scaling has to be done (because the
size of different Latin fonts varies so much). Right now, I do this by
editing the input file like so
\definebodyfont[10pt,11pt,12pt,14pt][rm][Gf=Ibycus sa 1.05]
but I wonder if it would be possible to do this more elegantly: is
there a way to make this an argument that will be passed on
automatically? What I'm dreaming of is something like this
\input Ibycus[sa 1.05]
and it would automatically scale at 1.05. Any ideas how this could be
achieved?
And if anybody is interested: I'd love to share this stuff and find a
couple of beta testers to see if it works on other computers, too.
Best
Thomas

Re: [NTG-context] Expert fonts
Hi Adam, thanks a lot, I will look into it this coming weekend (yes, our teaching period has just started...). I feel pretty comfortable on the command line. My knowledge of perl is extremely limited, but I hope I can manage. I always did these things by hand because I'm too dumb to really understand how encodings work, but this might be a great opportunity to learn more about this.
