Re: [NTG-context] Math setup with Times (Termes)

Thank you everybody very much, esp. Mojca! You almost saved my life! )

In spite of previously said, I don't like mixing Termes with Times New 
Roman, because e.g.  "M" in math looks rather like bold "M" in the text. 
But I made a hack which works for me:


{ name = "timesi.ttf", vector = "tex-mi-txpx2", skewchar=0x7F },

I just replaced texgyretermes-italic.otf with timesi.ttf. 
Unfortunatelly, I cannot modify the first line too, because some greek 
letters are missed then, but I believe one day I could manage this )


mathematics.make_font ( "tx-math", {
{ name = "texgyretermes-regular.otf", features = "virtualmath", 
main = true },

{ name = "rtxr.tfm", vector = "tex-mr" } ,
{ name = "rtxmi.tfm", vector = "tex-mi-txpx1", skewchar=0x7F },
{ name = "timesi.ttf", vector = "tex-mi-txpx2", skewchar=0x7F },
{ name = "txsy.tfm", vector = "tex-sy", skewchar=0x30, parameters = 
true } ,

{ name = "txex.tfm", vector = "tex-ex", extension = true } ,
{ name = "txsya.tfm", vector = "tex-ma" },
{ name = "txsyb.tfm", vector = "tex-mb" },
} )

Perfect for the moment! Thanks again!

Hello Hans,
And I'd prefer italic latin letters to be taken from it, not from 
Termes.


well, then you have to write your own vectors ... support for all 
those platform fonts is not on the agenda (at least not on mine) ... 
of course open type math fonts on platfotms are supported.


OK, I will be completely happy if I have Termes letters in formulas. 
They are indistinguishable from Times New Roman in this case.


P.S. I could write vectors, if someone explained me how to do it ;)

That's why I mentioned that it might be nice to have "italic" and
"roman" as names in math typescripts (math-vfu.lua) for exactly such
cases.

Then two copies of tex-mi in math-vfu are needed (some other name has
to be assigned). One where only red characters are used and the other
one where all the others are left (just comment out the rest that's
not needed). You probably need to map g, v, w, y, ... separately to
the math italic unicode range (that's not done in current tex-mi).

You may visually check if that's consistent with LM font in the third row.

Oh, I see it now. At this point:
fonts.vf.math.set_letters(fonts.enc.math, "tex-mi", 0x1D434, 0x1D44E)
the letters from tex-mi are copied to math italic, but in case of
txfonts and the chosen subset of glyphs this region is empty, so
ConTeXt most probably just falls back to "normal a" from the main
regular font, but those characters should come from the italic font
instead (I don't know if additional metrics are needed or not).

I tried to do the following for example:

fonts.enc.math["tex-mi2"] = {
}
-- now that all other vectors are defined ...
fonts.vf.math.set_letters(fonts.enc.math, "tex-mi", 0x1D434, 0x1D44E)
fonts.vf.math.set_letters(fonts.enc.math, "tex-mi2", 0x1D434, 0x1D44E)

mathematics.make_font ( "tx-math", {
{ name = "texgyretermes-regular.otf", features = "virtualmath",
main = true },
{ name = "rtxr.tfm", vector = "tex-mr" } ,
{ name = "rtxmi.tfm", vector = "tex-mi", skewchar=0x7F },

{ name = "txsya.tfm", vector = "tex-ma" },
{ name = "txsyb.tfm", vector = "tex-mb" },
} )

In this particular file it says:

(MAPFONT D 0
  (FONTNAME rtxmi)
(MAPFONT D 1
  (FONTNAME rtxptmri) -> we map that one to TeXGyreTermes-Italic in mkii

One of them is italic text, one of them is a subset of math
characters, but I need to do a simple text transform to list which
character comes from which font.

But the weird thing is that tex-mi doesn't seem to come from mi font,
but from italic part of the main font (at least all the entries in
math-vfu in tex-mi mapping are commented out and there is
fonts.vf.math.set_letters(fonts.enc.math, "tex-mi", 0x1D434,
0x1D44E)). So I'm really a bit puzzled. Is some "italic mapping"
missing in termes setup?

I understand that, but I don't know how important is "its own kerning
and metrics". That is: I'm not sure if vf changes or adds some
properties that are not present in original tfm files.

I would say that what we need to do is "parse" the vf file (using
vftothatweirdformat) and copy its contents to math-vfu. At least this
can be done automatically and reliably without having to figure out
what character comes where for dozens of fonts.

It could probably also be done in mkiv, dumped into table and then
that table could be copy-pasted into math-vfu and vf files could be
forgotten. But I'm not sure that I know where to start with that
(probably cleaner & easier) approach, so I can try the first option.

Mojca Miklavec wrote:


What are we talking about? Do you mean the old virtual fonts (.vf
files) or mkiv's virtual fonts or something completely different?


What You Don't Want To Know:

a virtual font is just a regular font but has references to other fonts 
instead, like


char 1 -> font x, char 10 (or dvi commands instead)

and then it can has kerning etc within its own set

tex itself only sees characters as things with dimensions and a few 
properties and when typesetting the paragraph uses info from the font 
with respect to kerning and ligature building


now, traditional tex has only tfm files and when virtual fonts were 
introduced the engine was not adapted at all; so, a virtual font still 
has a tfm file (with characters etc)


however, when the font is being used in the backend, an extra lookup 
takes place and when a vf file is found, information from that file is 
used for embedding (in pdftex); of course dvi postprocessors also look 
at that file


so we have:

tfm  -> tfm used by frontend and backend
tfm + vf -> tfm used by frontend, vf used by backend

on top of that a map file will point from fontname to real name (pfb) 
and this is why in a map file you don't see the virtual font names at 
all, as it's the names inside the vf that matter


so say that we have:

a.tfm + a.vf

but internally

a.vf -> font b, c, d (or further chained)

then b, c, d need to be resolved to real names

as there is no checking going on and as the tfm file has no info about 
itself being virtual you can imagine that interesting side effects can 
take place when an old (unknown of) vf lays around ... it will kick in 
at backend time (this is why the texfont script does a clean up)


in luatex we have integrated these mechanisms, so internally a font can 
have virtual properties (a few more than original tex)


however, by default luatex acts like tex, so users won't notice; as 
luatex has the backend integrated, at some point it will need the vf and 
mkiv will happily fulfill that request


but ... and this is the catch ... in mkiv we use (1) opentype, (2) type 
1 and (3) traditional tex fonts


(1) is not related to virtual fonts but we can (and do) extend fonts 
internally using virtual technology


(2) in pdftex tfm/vf files are used but mkiv does not look at those 
files but uses afm files directly (right from the start)


(3) the only place in mkiv where tex metric files are still used is in 
math as we need the additional (math specific) info


as it makes no sense to keep supporting the old math fonts while open 
type variant sare under way, i decided to stick to unicode math and as a 
result we need to use virtual font technology to make that unicode variant


for the lm fonts, this is mostly done and as they have no virtual (vf 
based) fonts it's transparent


for tx/px however, as they use virtual fonts, it gets hairy what file to 
load; technically there is no obstacle but i've chosen to stay away from 
the tfm/vf mess and use just the natural tfm variants (i.e. the ones 
that match the pfb) and therefore we might need a few extra vectors (and 
maybe font files) in math-vfu that map to the right slots; using the 
vf's as well would complicate matters and it's not worth the trouble


so, what we need to do is to figure out teh few missing files/vectors, 
add them, and then let users fill in the gaps in vectors


are you still there?

Then use a font which is in the map file and has also a font with the same name.

Does that work for you (it doesn't here, but as I said ... I have very
bad karma).
txmi is not in that map file since txmi.vf is used instead.

But at least the vf file is almost-readable.

(MAPFONT D 0
   (FONTNAME rtxmi)
(MAPFONT D 1
   (FONTNAME rtxptmri)

% this is probably character number 136 in octal basis
% and the glyph comes from font 0 (rtxmi)
(CHARACTER O 136
   (CHARWD R 0.964)
   (CHARHT R 0.342)
   (MAP
  (SELECTFONT D 0)
  (SETCHAR O 136)
  )
   )

% this seems to be letter a comming from font 1 (rtxptmri)

No vf is fine, but ... can mkiv (at least in theory) read vf files?

How does one disassemble vf files otherwise? vftosomething? I have
absolutely no idea what's in there. If mkiv can read vf, I would at
least cheat in such a way that I would read the font with mkiv, print
out the contents (what slot points to what place) and then rearrange
the contents in some more primitive format that mkiv could be
interpreting in the same way as all the other math fonts.

if someone wants more complete support .. he/she has to contribute the 
right vectors (in the case of these fonts, i prefer to stay very close 
to the raw font files, i.e. no vf because then we know what we're 
dealing with)

This seems to be using txmi.vf (and .tmf) in mkii (I suspect that, I'm
not 100% sure).

I have no idea whether Hans has already implemented reading the
original vf fonts in ConTeXt. I suspect that we need to figure out how
exactly those tx fonts work (what slot maps to what glyph in what
font).

Something like \mr could work in mkiv, but I don't think that it does.
(But should be easy to fix.)

How do you expect it to work? Just return italic cyrilic letters?
Maybe Taco knows it better - do "any letters from the font" need to
have extra parameters to be usable with math? You can of course use
   $\text{\it some cyrilic here}$
at any time.

I don't if this file is used in mkiv, but then I'm not sure how these
tfm files work without map files at all.

> but it's far beyond my understanding to fix something in it.

There is one line that definitely needs to be fixed, but I have no idea how.

Here:

mathematics.make_font ( "tx-math", {
{ name = "texgyretermes-regular.otf", features = "virtualmath",
main = true },
{ name = "rtxr.tfm", vector = "tex-mr" } ,

this line:
{ name = "rtxmi.tfm", vector = "tex-mi", skewchar=0x7F },
might need to become:
{ name = "txmi.tfm", vector = "tex-mi", skewchar=0x7F },

{ name = "txsy.tfm", vector = "tex-sy", skewchar=0x30, parameters = true } ,
{ name = "txex.tfm", vector = "tex-ex", extension = true } ,
{ name = "txsya.tfm", vector = "tex-ma" },
{ name = "txsyb.tfm", vector = "tex-mb" },
} )

But if I change that then nothing happens. Maybe the reason is that
MKIV does not read map files and consequently has no idea what to do
with txmi(.tfm) that comes from rtxmi.pfb, or at least one would need
to rewrite "tex-mi" for times.

I don't know yet how to do it (I don't know how luatex reads in pfb
files with characters with non-standard names). This support is
definitely missing from the ConTeXt core and needs both a tiny help
from Hans' hands and someone writing a vector (or some other trick to
make the original tfm file work).

Thank you, I'll try it.

Maybe you also know how to italize Roman letters? (like $abc$)

[NTG-context] Math setup with Times (Termes)

2009-11-08 Thread Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hello Gurus,

Please, please, please! I need your help badly.

The problem is with math font setup. If I use default math font, two 
problems arise:


1) Greek letters are slanted, while they supposed by our standards to be 
straight.


2) Cyrillic does not work in math, while some indexes are in Ukrainian.

I also try to setup Times New Roman (from Windows) to replace default 
math font. This would be perfect solution for me, but I've lost completely.


For my current point, I found that my TimesNR typescript behaves just 
like Gyre-Termes, so you can experiment on the latter (without need of 
Windows). This is my minimal example (see attachment also):


\usetypescript[termes]\setupbodyfont[termes, 14pt]

\starttext

Така система рівнянь має вигляд:

$это мат. текст this this math text$

\startformula\left\{ \matrix{

2 = a \cdot {2^2} + b \cdot 2 + c; \hfill \cr

1 = a \cdot {3^2} + b \cdot 3 + c; \hfill \cr

2a \cdot 2 + b = 0. \hfill \cr} \right.\stopformula

Вирішуючи цю систему рівнянь, можна отримати

всі три коефіцієнти: $c = - 2$; $a = - 1$; $b = 4$.

\stoptext


The main problem is that Latin letters in math are not slanted at all! I 
only found that some tricky conversion is done by 
original-youngryu-tx.map , but it's far beyond my understanding to fix 
something in it.


Best regards,
Vyatcheslav
