In both cases, the typographic quality is so low that you really don't want to go there. Word output is ugly anyway, so nobody cares if it produces artificial bold that makes it even uglier...

I AM embarassed, especially since I suspected something of the sort but didn't see it. And also because I successfully avoided quite a few premature interventions in the past months, but was too impatient this time. I am editing the Annual Report of an ornithological society. In the past, this has been done with Word, the font was Gentium. I haven't changed to ConTeXt yet, because Gentium has no bold version and I want to stick with the same font (Word produces some kind of Gentium- bold itself). That's the reason why I am looking at other fonts, with the intention of smuggling a "SimilarToGentium-Bold" into a gentium- typescript. (I know that's not done -- but it's only the Ornithological Society of Basel ) Cheers, Jörg > > Good luck > > Thomas > ___ > ntg-context mailing list > ntg-context@ntg.nl > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

There is one [ too many in this definition... Don't be too
embarrassed, when you've looked at a file or a line for three hours,
you don't see anything anymore.
Good luck

Re: [NTG-context] bold versions of fonts
Let me try again:
After installing the LinLibertine and the Junicode fonts, everything
works (including bolditalic) except the bold version.
- System: ubuntu, minimal tex/context installation
- I followed the instructions by T. Schmitz (Practex Journal 2005:
Integrating TrueType Fonts into Context). I.e., using texfont.
- After compiling the texfont-generated (texnansi-...-junicode.tex)
file, the pdf shows all the fonts (including bold).
- A testfile stalled with the error message below. After removing
the lines defining the bold version (typescript-file: see attachment)
everything except bold works. Testfile: \usetypescriptfile[type-
junicode] \usetypescript[Junicode] \setupbodyfont[MyJunicode,12pt]
\starttext etc.
- Replacing the bold ttf, vf, and tfm fonts by those I found on the
fiee website didn't help.
I suspect that it will turn out to be an embarassing error, but I
couldn't spot it. Thanks for your help, Jörg

[NTG-context] bold versions of fonts
Hi all,
I have installed the LinLibertine and Junicode fonts on Linux Ubuntu,
minimal tex version. They only work if I comment out the lines
concerning the Bold versions of the fonts in my type-scripts. With
those lines, the error is:
ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.23 13:32 MKII fmt: 2007.2.4 int: english/english
.
! Font \*MyJunicode7ptrmbfrm*:=[Junicode-Bold at 7.0pt not loadable:
Metric (TF
M) file not found.
\relax
\xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier
\let
\localrelativefontsiz...
\dodosettextfamilyB ...amily \fontsize \endcsname
\else \ifcsname
\fontclass...
\dosettextfamily ...ttextfamily \scriptscriptfont
\let \fontbody
\scriptface...
...y \c!tf \dosettextfamily \c!bf
\dosettextfamily
\c!sl \do...
\synchronizetext ...athfonts \the \textstrategies
\fi
...
l.4 \setupbodyfont[MyJunicode,12pt]
***
The lines I had to comment out are:
\definefontsynonym [Junicode-Bold] [texnansi-Junicode-Bold]
[encoding=texnansi]
and
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Junicode-Bold]
The fact that the problem occurs with two different fonts and type-
scripts should exclude a typo.
Thanks for your help, Jörg
