Hi,

I have to send a document where the font used **must** be Times New

that I must use Times New Roman or Nimbus Roman. (It is a matter of
regulations, so it is not possible for me to explain that Termes and
Nibmus Roman are essentially the same).

So, is it possible to use Nimbus Roman (type1 font) in MkIV?


you can just force file:somename.afm .. mkiv will make a wide font of it 
(map onto unicode) so you should be fine


Thanks of lot!

I could not get protrosion to work (against a deadline, so I did not try 
too hard), but the basic mechanism works well. For anyone else interested 
in this, here is the typescript that I used:


\starttypescript [\s!serif] [times] [\s!name]
\definefontsynonym [\s!Serif] [file:utmr8a.afm]
\definefontsynonym [\s!SerifItalic]   [file:utmri8a.afm]
\definefontsynonym [\s!SerifBold] [file:utmb8a.afm]
\definefontsynonym [\s!SerifBoldItalic]   [file:utmbi8a.afm]
\definefontsynonym [\s!SerifSlanted]  [file:utmri8a.afm]
\definefontsynonym [\s!SerifBoldSlanted]  [file:utmbi8a.afm]
\definefontsynonym [\s!SerifCaps] [file:texgyretermes-regular] 
[\s!features=\s!smallcaps]
\stoptypescript

ConTeXt does not ship with these afm files, so I just copied them from the 
texlive directory to current working directory.


Thanks,
Aditya

[NTG-context] Using Nibus Roman with MkIV

2013-10-02 Thread Aditya Mahajan

Hi,

Is it possible to use Nibus Roman with MkIV.

I have to send a document where the font used **must** be Times New Roman 
or Nimbus Roman. I tried using a clone (Termes), but I was told that I 
must use Times New Roman or Nimbus Roman. (It is a matter of regulations, 
so it is not possible for me to explain that Termes and Nibmus Roman are 
essentially the same).


So, is it possible to use Nimbus Roman (type1 font) in MkIV?

Thanks,
