I do not have need for the math, do you still recommend them?

Beautiful, indeed!

Btw, I was thinking whether Fonts in ConTeXt book is still relevant (from the
ToC I conclude it deals with MkIV) aand/or provides enough info so that in case
I buy some 3prd party fonts (I am considering something from
https://mbtype.com/) I'll be able to configure ConTeXt to use them?

Similar concern in regard to layouts and the other book...but, I believe that
both are very useful in any case and ordering them is a small appreciation for
the work done for ConTeXt.


Sincerely,
Gour

[NTG-context] Fonts/Layouts in ConTeXt books

2020-01-24 Thread Saša Janiška
Hello,

I'm putting all my 'eggs' into ConTeXt basket and would like to learn it as
thoroughly as possible.

Considering that I always prefer physical books over starring at my computer
screen, I wonder if the books from the subject are still relevant for learning
about creating layouts and configuring additional (bought extra) fonts in
today's ConText?


Sincerely,
Gour
