I don't know.
probably not, i once did a project where graphics came from all kind of
organizations, we ended up with (looking in the final pdf file) quite
some different lucida clones; the file was a font mess anyway so nobody
noticed i guess; the same may happen with times and helvetica
as long as the metrics/kerning match the shapes i guess you're safe; on
the other hand, i don't trust those fonts to remain unchanged, so i use
the official lucida's
So, copy the attached file (warning: very experimental!!!) to your
directory and try to use it with:
\usetypescriptfile[type-lso]
\definetypeface [lso][rm][serif][lbso] [default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface [lso][ss][sans] [lsso] [default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface [lso][tt][mono] [lctso][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[lso,12pt]
\starttext
\showbodyfont
\type{The quick brown fox jumps over the 1234567890 lazy dog!}
\switchtobodyfont [ss]
The quick brown fox jumps over the 1234567890 lazy dog!
\stoptext
alternatively you can add to your type-loc.tex:
\starttypescript [serif] [lucida] [ec]
\definefontsynonym[LucidaBright] [...] [encoding=ec]
\stoptypescript
in which case you can probably use the existing lbr definition

Hi, I assume that CE stands for Central European (normally, when you buy a font, that means not that many accented characters, i.e. many CE fonts are not suitable for german). A quick test (showfont and aesop-de) shows that at least well known accents are there. Anyway, it looks like these are real ones. Is math also included? No. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net List archive: http://archive.contextgarden.net ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

:-) Those fonts are also postscript fonts.

Is there any way I can use these fonts with ConTeXt? If yes, where
do I need to copy them and what do I rename them to?
Use the installer from Walter Schmidt's page and install the font as
described. No renaming necessary, the script does it for you.
Are these fonts exactly the same as the ones that you buy from
yandy.com?
I don't know.
Also the above site says On the other hand, only the basic font
styles (roman, sans serif, typewriter) are available, whereas the
fonts from YY include many more variants such as true smallcaps,
sans serif italic, fax, handwriting, blackletter and more) Does
CoTeXt use the other fonts that are missing?
Only if you ask for them.
I suppose it would be legal for me to use these fonts with ConTeXt?
As long as you don't distibute them, I'd guess yes. But you shouldn't
ask me...
So, copy the attached file (warning: very experimental!!!) to your
directory and try to use it with:
\usetypescriptfile[type-lso]
\definetypeface [lso][rm][serif][lbso] [default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface [lso][ss][sans] [lsso] [default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface [lso][tt][mono] [lctso][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[lso,12pt]
\starttext
\showbodyfont
\type{The quick brown fox jumps over the 1234567890 lazy dog!}
\switchtobodyfont [ss]
