Re: [NTG-context] Lucida fonts
I guess I will take responsibility for my own actions then. ;) Actually, as long as the Type 1 fonts continue to work, I presume I have no need for anything more. Perhaps I'm just somewhat ignorant about fonts and have no idea what "more complete" (as Hans said) means when comparing the OpenType version to the Type 1 version. If I was given a list of things that are included in the OpenType font that I do not currently have access to in the Type 1 version, then I would at least know what I was "missing".

Actually, you should apply for a special discount :P As soon as you have bought the fonts and started complaining about semi-broken functionality of Lucida while I was sitting behind Hans in Brejlov two years ago, this triggered the project of creating OpenType Lucida (and probably forced us to fix major problems in Type1 for MKII/MKIV).

Quite possible. Lucida doesn't provide all the ec glyphs anyway (č is
not present), but the virtual font on CTAN apparently fakes it
successfully by placing caron over c and taking two glyphs
(successfully only in technical meaning, so that it works in the first
place; typographically it's obvious that the one who did the virtual
font has never used that glyph).

The metrics are there already, it's only that their naming scheme is
weird. But unless someone really depends on raw tfm names, the
following should work OK:
\starttypescript [mono] [lucida] [ec,texnansi,8r]
\definefontsynonym [\typescriptthree-lbtr]
[hlcrt\typescriptprefix{e:\typescriptthree}]
[encoding=\typescriptthree] % LucidaTypewriter
\definefontsynonym [\typescriptthree-lbtb]
[hlcbt\typescriptprefix{e:\typescriptthree}]
[encoding=\typescriptthree] % LucidaTypewriterBold
\definefontsynonym [\typescriptthree-lbto]
[hlcrot\typescriptprefix{e:\typescriptthree}]
[encoding=\typescriptthree] % LucidaTypewriterOblique
\definefontsynonym [\typescriptthree-lbtbo]
[hlcbot\typescriptprefix{e:\typescriptthree}]
[encoding=\typescriptthree] % LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique
\definefontsynonym [LucidaTypewriter]
[\typescriptthree-lbtr] [encoding=\typescriptthree]
\definefontsynonym [LucidaTypewriterBold]
[\typescriptthree-lbtb] [encoding=\typescriptthree]
\definefontsynonym [LucidaTypewriterOblique]
[\typescriptthree-lbto] [encoding=\typescriptthree]
\definefontsynonym [LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique]
[\typescriptthree-lbtbo] [encoding=\typescriptthree]
\loadmapfile[lucida.map]
\stoptypescript
If one doesn't need the texnansi-lbr synonyms, it can be done more
efficiently in a single step.
Alternatively we can of course ship the metrics, but assume some LaTeX
user with an already working LaTeX installation of Lucida - wouldn't
it be great if it worked in ConTeX out-of-the-box?

Do you mean some other math fonts? The package on CTAN has the
following tfm files (and maybe some extra ones in vf that I didn't
manage to check completely yet):

What does robust mean? One needs to buy the font anyway, so it won't
work out of the box, but it would be nice if it worked out of the box
with the files that TUG does ship. Metrics in TeX live don't really
help without pfb files and if one installs pfb files, one may easily
copy everything else along. Of course we can add the metrics to
minimals (optional install), but I would prefer them to match the ones
from TUG (currently they are also available on CTAN).

I can double-check which ones are not needed, but we could drop at
least the 8r encoding.

I'll take a look. I have noticed that math-vfu does use the metric
names from the latest set of fonts.
Hoewere one needs to keep in mind that it's not 100% compatible
encoding (the "rm" doesn't 100% correspond to the same glyphs in LM,
but it's rather a roman variant of "mi", so at least the brackets need
to be taken from somewh

interesting is that the lucida metrics (afaik) are not shipped with tex
live so we cannot create a robust solution unless we ship with the
minimale:

- afm files (for mkiv)
- map file (can be small one)

for mkiv i already adapted the typescripts (in beta), for mkii we need

I have fixed the typescripts, so that one doesn't need to generate any
additional files apart from those present on CTAN (and we can also add
them to minimals, but it might be nice to cooperate with Hans first to
prevent any name clashes). I'll send the typescripts once I figure out
some problems, but:

\definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [file:hlhr.pfb]
fail with the message below? (I can send a complete example off-list.)
How does one use pfb fonts then? Anyway, \definefontsynonym
[LucidaBright] [name:LucidaBright] works fine, so that's ok for now.
Using the accents in XeTeX would require extra tricks anyway, so
concentrating on pdftex and luatex seems reasonable.
i have no clue ... but best test with the latest beta
also, i did a fix in math-vfu (extra nil check) as some shapes seem to
be missing
even if it works, luatex can quit whem embedding the file (buglet) but
that has been fixed by taco yesterday
2.) When reading typescripts for mkii with mkiv ("ec" encoding that is
based on virtual fonts), I don't get any accent at all, not even š and
ž that are part of texnansi encoding and are present in font. Why is
that?
nu clue ... maybe because yandy only bothered about texnansi so we might
as well stick to that
3.) When creating a devoted mkiv typescript, č is missing (and so are
ćđ, but I can live without the two of them as long as Nino is not
nearby :), however not being able to use č is a no-go for me.
again, maybe the font is not complete
i'm a little surprised as i'd suppose those virtual fonts to be ok
we can still consider to use the texnansi-* and ec-* variants (texfont
generated)
I'll get to math later. At the moment I had to figure out how the
files are organized and how to use them without having to depend on
texfont.
lucida was always different but afaik tug now ships them in default tex
math encoding so the math-lbr vector is useless now

Re: [NTG-context] Lucida Fonts with MKIV
I've also noticed that some of the math kerning seems a little off.
For example, with $y(x)$ the "y" seems to be way too close to the "(".
I'm not sure how much of this is a difference in LaTeX (that I am
used to) and ConTeXt's spacing and how much is due to ConTeXt+Lucida.
Another example similar to this is $\sin(x)\cos(y)$. The "n" in the
"sin" and the "s" in "cos" both seem a little close to the following
"(". Perhaps the issue is with the "(" itself.

Re: [NTG-context] Lucida Fonts with MKIV
Hello,
Here are some of my observations about Lucida fonts (font part for
now; math part comes later). I made a detailed check of files that are
present on CTAN.
I don't know how Hans' metric files look like, but:
- texfont --ve=yandy ... doesn't do anything here
- texfont --ve=bh ... creates a bunch of files, however *not* the T1
files which are of crucial importance to me; T1 (=ec) is only
supported via virtual fonts. (And even then the character looks just
about terrible, but still better than not having it at all.)
I have fixed the typescripts, so that one doesn't need to generate any
additional files apart from those present on CTAN (and we can also add
them to minimals, but it might be nice to cooperate with Hans first to
prevent any name clashes). I'll send the typescripts once I figure out
some problems, but:
1.) Hans, why does
\definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [file:hlhr.pfb]
fail with the message below? (I can send a complete example off-list.)
How does one use pfb fonts then? Anyway, \definefontsynonym
[LucidaBright] [name:LucidaBright] works fine, so that's ok for now.

2.) When reading typescripts for mkii with mkiv ("ec" encoding that is

I'll get to math later. At the moment I had to figure out how the

Re: [NTG-context] Lucida Fonts with MKIV
> how did you set up your lucida fonts in mkiv? First of all, I did not setup Lucida for MKIV (specifically). The following fonts come with the complete Lucida set from TUG: 46 AFM's 41 PFB's 42 PFM's 164 TFM's 63 VF's I placed all 356 of these font files into the same directory (ignoring directory structure) as well as the following three files lucida.ali lucida.map texnansi-yandy-luc.tex I simply followed these steps from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida 1) Downloaded lucida-complete.zip from TUG one year ago and extracted the files into my /usr/local/share/texmf tree. I followed the instructions located at http://www.tug.org/store/lucida/README.TUG to ensure that they worked in LaTeX (and they have for the last year) 2) I copied all files (not just the AFM and PFB as the instructions suggested) into the temporary directory (as indicated above) 3) Executed the following command: texfont --fontroot=/opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local --ve=yandy --co=luc --ma --in --expert 4) Downloaded and extracted the following file into /opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/lucida-cint.zip-0.9.zip 5) Nothing to do 6) Copied the type-luc.tex (provided by lucida-cint.zip-0.9.zip) into /opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base 7) Copied the cont-sys.tex (located originally in /opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base) into /opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user and edited it adding the line \usetypescriptfile[type-luc] 8) Executed `mktexlsr` 9) and 10) Added the following code to the preface of my ConTeXt document \usetypescript[luc][texnansi] \setupformulas[method=bold] \setupbodyfont[luc,10pt] \enablemathcollection[lbr] \usemathcollection[lbr] Notice that the line \input math-lbr was omitted because it is evidently not part of my ConTeXt minimals installation (although it is in my TeX Live 2008 installation). Now, by following these steps, I am able to successfully create ConTeXt documents with Lucida fonts (with and without math) using MKII (texexec).

[NTG-context] Lucida Fonts with MKIV
I am a LaTeX user for about 15 years, but I am very new ConTeXt. I am having trouble using the complete set of Lucida fonts purchased from TUG. http://www.tug.org/store/lucida/ I have followed the first set of instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida and the fonts work great for MKII (texexec). When building the same document (that works for MKIV) with MKIV (context), the text fonts are fine but the math fonts are set in Roman instead instead of math. Is there an easy way to adapt the configuration file(s) for MKII to MKIV? If this is possible but just requires a tedious process, I'm willing to do this, but I have no clue of the steps needed. I would appreciate any advice.

It seems that nothing is known yet, you should subscribe/ask on the yandytex support mailing list, I guess.
