[NTG-context] Commissioned work - we're looking for a ConTeXt person to help us finishing a 200+ pages multi-lingual art book (with Xetex?)
Dear list, I'm part of a design group Open Source Publishing, and we use ConTeXt for a few months now. The main goal is to produce a 200+ pages multi- lingual art book for which we have in the past months some exchanges with kind members of the list about font install and Xetex. I currently work more on the design itself. To finish on time, avoid loosing time on some hazardous/random errors, and also learning ConTeXt more from the inside, we're looking for a person interested to have a commissioned work -for a fair price per day- to help us crossing the last technical problems (some of them still unknown and only potential). It's not easy for us to plan the exact amount of work, but it will certainly be closely linked to : - ConTeXt - Xetex (or another solution to use custom fonts) - Pictures - Final production of CMYK PDF's for the printer We work in Brussels but are able to travel to the Netherlands without problems. A first meeting will probably be helpful to go to more details. We'll try to push the project as far as possible this month and in July to be able to print the book in August. If you are, or you know a person interested in, do not hesitate to contact us, Pierre Huyghebaert +32 495 90 56 32 http://www.ospublish.constantvzw.org ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Installing custom fonts?
Hello List,
I'm also part of the design group Open Source Publishing (like Femke who ask
about same entry to multiple registers a month ago). Our book is building,
and it's now time to add our own custom open fonts. Quite new in the TeX
field, and having traveled a bit through LaTex and Xetex, I couln't figure
how to make it work. I guess that the TeX way of doing it is to write a map
file, but maybe is it possible to avoid it, like with the Xetex shortcut?
I'm using texexec or texexec --xtx to compile my files (without problems) on
Ubuntu Gutsy. I'm also able to use the font in other software, Inkscape by
example.
But when I add this code :
\definetypeface[InitiationRitualFont][rm][Xserif][Initiated]
\setupbodyfont[InitiationRitualFont, 12pt]
\starttext
Hello List!
\stoptext
I've this error returned :
! Font \*InitiationRitualFont12ptrmtfrm*:='mapping=tex-text at 12.0pt' not
lo
adable: installed font not found.
to be read again
\relax
\xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier

\edef \fontstyle {\fontstyle

...
l.2 \setupbodyfont[InitiationRitualFont, 12pt]
I've tried with :
- different names
- different places
- with or without the extension in the name
- with ttf or otf version of the font
- with other fonts
But maybe the problem is elsewhere and I clearly not well understand the
intrications Context - Xetex - pdftex - TeX - texexec... I've search in the
mailinglist archive and in the Wikigarden... Maybe to use something
different than texexec?
Many thanks.

So simple, that low-level one for all of us that don't need the family concept at some point (titles, etc.) \font\initiation=InitiationRitualFont \starttext \initiation Hello World! \stoptext Curious, I just have tried my previous code on the machine of Femke, with a more recent Ubuntu, and it works also! Ok, I'll upgrade my Ubuntu! \definetypeface[InitiationRitualFont][rm][Xserif][InitiationRitualFont] \setupbodyfont[InitiationRitualFont, 12pt] \starttext Hello World! \stoptext So for most of us, the two solutions seem to work. (Apart of the family concept problem, is there advantages/disadvantages to use one solution or another?)
