[NTG-context] Available fonts and using them
Hello all, I have read many of the documents from the Wiki on using fonts, but I am still not sure of one or two, probably obvious, things: 1) I'm being asked to use Arial font (not my choice!) and I see from searching the context tree that there are .afm files, .tfm files and .map files with 'arial' in the name. Does this mean I can use Arial out of the box? If so, how? I've tried putting \setupbodyfont[arial,10pt] in my environment file, but it does nothing. I've tried various other things as well, copied but only half understood, from the other documents, but none of them work either! I could follow the guide on installing a new font, but if it's already available then I'd rather not! 2) How do I find out what fonts are available out of the box and how do I invoke them? Thanks, Richard. P.S. I'm using mkii -- one day I'll get around to setting up mkiv, but not today! Converteam UK Ltd. Registration Number: 5571739 and Converteam Ltd.

Dear gang, Is there a list somewhere of the immediately available fonts in ConTeXt? showfont.pdf has a few; is there an updated list of available fonts and how to access them?

The file is in the meantime sent to Hans, so that he can give me advice how to finalize it.- May be within short notice we will have a demo file. That sounds like great news; looking forward to it!

Dear crew, Is there a list of prepackaged fonts/typescripts that comes with (fp/MiK/gw/te)TeX/ConTeXt? I think it is important for that info to be made very public. showfonts.pdf has at least some of them (plus a couple of non-free ones) but I don't know if this is an exhaustive set. A new ConTeXt user (especially one from a non-TeX background) should be able to easily find a list of the fonts/typescripts available in a full (fp/MiK/gw/te)TeX/ConTeXt system. If I am totally clueless and missed this info, then I apologize:-) Best Idris Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
