Re: [NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Can't find recommended tool
Pable, thanks, but it doesn't work. so easily. mxtrun only see what is in the TeX directory tree and uses that font database. My question is how to register the font to that system so that mtxrun can find it. How does one do that with a ttf font file?

[NTG-context] (mathematics) Stretching Unicode big operator

[NTG-context] wrong interlinespace or wrong font?

(Not sure it is required, but I need this each time I install a font.) And (assuming you installed Gentium), here is the sample code: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Gentium] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Compile it with "context gentium.tex" (change file name accordingly) and it should work.

[NTG-context] faked fonts not working
Dear list,
as far as I can remember, this used to work in the past:
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\definefontfeature[fakeitalic][default][slant=.25]
\definefontfeature[fakebold][default][extend=2]
\definefontfeature[fakebolditalic][default][slant=.25, extend=2]
\setmainfont[Larabiefont][italicfont={* Regular}, boldfont={*
Regular}, bolditalicfont={* Regular}, italicfeatures=fakeitalic,
boldfeatures=fakebold, bolditalicfeatures=fakebolditalic]
\starttext
regular, {\em fake italics (actually slanted)}, {\bf fake bold} and
{\bf\em fakebolditalics}.
\stoptext
Is this a bug, or have I forgotten something?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Re: [NTG-context] Auto selecting optical sizes for a font

Hello friends.
I'm trying to design a book using the typescript you can find at the
end of this message. I'm using the beautiful EBGaramond fonts from
Georg Duffner (http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/). This font
provides optical sizes to be used in different sizes (named "12" for
10.1pt or more, and "8" for 10 or less. These fonts automatically work
as expected in latex, thanks to a recent package included in CTAN
(ebgaramond package), selecting the correct font for the appropriate
size. However, the typescript I'm using selects the "8" size for
everything, without taking the type size into consideration. Is there
any way to make ConTeXt do this automatic selection of fonts regarding
of type size? I'm using version 2013.06.10 22:51.
We have no feature 'size' (or I must have forgotten about it). As there
is no consistency in designsizes and there is always some esthetic
choice involved no automatic mechanism is (and will be) build in.
However, as the traditional tex fonts come in designsizes we do have a
way to deal with them via so called font goodies. I made you a goodie
file for ebgaramond as well as typescript. (You need to convince Mojca
to add the otf fonts to the distribution.)
Just put the goodie and typescript files in the base path and run mtxrun
--generate after that. We need to choose a proper matching math font (or
seek funding for a gust garamond math font project).
The demo file shows how to kick in

Hi Andrés, sorry for not giving more information on this, because I don't understand how it works. Here you have an example: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Optical_Size. (I guess you forgot the font assignment.) Wolfgang, wouldn't it be possible to implement optical sizes in simplefonts? So the user could benefit from ease of use.
