Hi folks.
This is what happens when you're fighting insomnia in a foreign land. I
started investigating the TeXLive tree, and came up with at least a
partial solution to something that keeps getting asked about here.
Mark Ainsworth said this at Thu, 7 Aug 2003 11:48:55 +0100:
On another track, is there any way of getting pdftex to use the pfb concrete
fonts, rather than the bitmap versions without a major hack of my map files?
Has someone written a simple little routine to do the patching
automatically. They print out ok, but the on-screen versions are really
naff.
The computer concrete fonts *do* exist in a type1 version, albeit only in
pl0 encoding. They probably only get installed when you choose the polish
language/fonts package in TeXLive. CTAN appears to have these files at:
http://www.ctan.org/getfile/?filename=language/polish/cc-pl.zipaction=/
tools/filesearch
Anyway, by creating some simple font synonyms to fonts already referred
to by ConTeXt's built-in typescript, you can access the fonts fairly easily:
%% use the Polish cc-pl type1 files that come with TeXLive7
\definefontsynonym [ccr10] [pcr10] [encoding=pl0]
\definefontsynonym [ccti10] [pcti10] [encoding=pl0]
\definefontsynonym [ccsl10] [pcsl10] [encoding=pl0]
\definefontsynonym [cccsc10] [pccsc10] [encoding=pl0]
\setupbodyfont[con]
\starttext
\input knuth
\showaccents
\stoptext
In addition, if you install the type-eul.zip files, you can use the fonts
with euler math, as well:
% http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/EulerContext.zip
% replace \setupbodyfont[con] with
\usetypescriptfile[type-eul]
\setupbodyfont[con,eul]
Hope someone finds that interesting.
