Although the spec: interface (in addition to file: and name:) has fallback heuristics, simplefonts is more clever and does more extensive testing, But as with all heuristics, you can never be 100% sure what you get so in critical long term projects you can best use names or filename (and keep the files someplace backed up). It all depends on the situation.

If you send back some explanations then I will add them to the wiki as well. The third argument use instead of serif specserif, etc. and the fourth argument is the familyname of a font. Are these basically the same settings as used in simplefonts? No, specserif etc. use the “spec:…” mechanism to load a font (the other two are file:… and name:…) while simplefonts use the name:… mechanism to look for a font.

Courier is in the database. AGaramond is not. The wiki paper seems to state that Type1 fonts should be available via the database and \simplefonts. AGaramond is in the /usr/share/fonts/Type1 directory and is listed in the /usr/share/fonts/Type1/fonts.dir file. It does not show up in the mtxrun generated data base. set shows the following entry: OSFONTDIR='/usr/share/fonts;/home/safe/.fonts' Now if Type1 isn't included the font data base yet I can be cool with that. But in that case the wiki needs to be corrected. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/4055.html Typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/ ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
