Re: [NTG-context] new upload / more math
Wrong. The imperial measurement system, may give Europeans a headache, but is NOT obsolete, by any means. A good chunk of the world use the imperial measurment system and may be required in certain books, depending on a country's standards. dh - Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context wrote: > Oh, great work, thank you!

That did it. Thanks for help.
I appreciate it.

[NTG-context] Using a system font
Minimum working example:
\starttext
I want to use the Mathjax_Fraktur font, which the font-manager on Ubuntu
reports that it has.
{\switchtobodyfont[Mathjax_Fraktur] .. but, this text doesn't show up in
Mathjax_Fraktur.}
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] font problems
Hans,
thanks you for the solution to my font problem. I appreciate it.
I'm trying to understand the definefont command you used and it seems that the
arguments 'sa 1' in the macro is a size indication somewhat similar to 'at
10pt' but uses a relative size parameter as opposed to the absolute pt value.
That the numeric argument after 'sa' is a multiple of the current font size.
Thank you

[NTG-context] font problems
Here's my MWE:
Objective is to typeset a Chancery font text in the upper lefthand side
of a page, and
then do the main body in some normal font. Then at the very last print
a sign off in
Chancery. For some reason I can't get both to print out as Chancery.
Only one or the
other, but not both.
\definefontfamily [mwetest] [sans] [Liberation Sans]
\setupbodyfont [mwe,ss,12pt]
\definelayer[mwe][repeat=yes, preset=lefttop, hoffset=.125in, voffset=.125in]
\setlayer[mwe] { \switchtobodyfont[chancery,8pt] \hskip 5mm Chancery Font
Here }
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=mwe]
\starttext
Normal font text goes here. \blank[4*big]
{ \switchtobodyfont[chancery] This should be Chancery here to. But isn't. }
\blank[2*big]Note that if I comment out the \type{setlayer[mwe]} in the source
file, then the above will print in Chancery.
\stoptext
I'd like to have the layers in Chancery font and then one last text string in
the body in Chancery font. But I can't get them both to be Chancery. How can
that be done?
