depending on how you use this, you can consider making those symbols
an other option is
\define\crux{\getglyph{\getvariable{Greek}{font}}{43}}
or so (untested); such glyphs also scale well.

Re: [NTG-context] finishing a module
Oh dear, thanks so much! This does it, and I'm so impressed what you
can do in five minutes - absolutely amazing! Plus, it's mindboggling to
see that all of this can be achieved within ConTeXt, without recourse
to low level stuff. One day, when life is less hectic than now, I'll
write you a long letter describing my admiration for you, Hans.
Sometimes I feel like we Context-users are like the Apple people in the
TeX world, and you're our Steve Jobs. Everything is so much more
powerful, elegant, sleek, esthetic, you name it...
Well, whatever, I will try and finish my work on this stuff and then I
would love to share it with anbody who might be interested.
Thanks, and all best
Thomas

On Jan 24, 2005, at 6:50 PM, Hans Hagen wrote: i cannot fond those fonts; can they downloaded? Well, that's the point of creating this module: fibr, greeoxon, and grbl can be downloaded on CTAN (in the packages "Teubner," "psgreek," and "Ibycus" for LaTeX). Bosporos and kadmo were Greek fonts for Macintosh that I bought about 15 years ago; they were distributed by a company that doesn't exist anymore. I created the tfm etc. for my personal use (not sure about copyright stuff; if I make the module + fonts publicly available, I might have to leave them out). gentium is a unicode font that can be downloaded as a ttf from http://scripts.sil.org for free; I just created the tfm. Teubnerc is an old Greek font that I digitalized myself; it hasn't been used for about 100 years, so according to German copyright law, it is pretty much in the public domain. This module would be an effort at some sort of Uber-package for all kinds of Greek fonts bundled into one thingy.

Re: [NTG-context] finishing a module
Thanks for your help and interest. OK, what I want to achieve is:
setting up a collection of fonts for ancient (i.e. polytonic) Greek.
These fonts need to be mixed into normal text, and there needs to be a
simple way of switching to them. For the time being, I want to use the
"babel"-encoding for writing Greek, so I need to make a couple of
catcode changes (babel uses ~ and | for accents) [I guess if I can make
this work, I will then try and see if I can cook something up that
will actually take unicode characters and transform them into something
palatable for TeX, taking Adam's work as a model). I also need to
create commands to access a couple of special symbols like koppa, sampi
and braces for critical editions.
What I have: the fonts (there's 7 of them) in TeX-readable format (tfm
+ pfb)
With the help of Giuseppe and several others, I have cooked up a macro
that will switch to those fonts and do the catcode changes etc. Thus
far, they had to be invoked with an \input for every single font.
Problems:
Depending on the Latin font used for the main document, the Greek font
needs to be scaled or it will look ugly (too small, too big in
comparison). Hence my attempt to use Context's "sa" construct.
I want to simplify things by writing a single module that will give
access to all the fonts by providing a unified way of choosing one of
them.
My idea was having a module that would provide a new command
\setupgreek that would take two arguments: Name of the font suitable
for users, scaling factor.
E. g. \setupgreek[Oxonia][1.08] This module would then provide two
commands for writing Greek, \localgreek{...} and \startgreek ...
\stopgreek + commands for accessing the symbols.
Problems so far: my module defines the Greek font as a body font. As
far as I can see, this will only work for predefined sizes [4pt,5pt
etc.]. When a user sepcifies an unusual font size for his main document
or when TeX calculates a weird size (e.g. in footnotes, Alan Bowens's
problem last week), the font isn't defined anymore, and the macro for
writing Greek doesn't work. \definefont doesn't appear to have this
problem, but it works only if I give the name of the font "manually," I
couldn't make it accept an internal macro (Taco was very helpful
yesterday, but I couldn't make it work).
If anybody can spare five minutes, I append what I have got so far;
maybe I'm overlooking something obvious. Sorry for the lengthy post and
for taking your time!
Thanks everybody!

I still get the error message. When I assign it "manually"
\definefont[Gf][somefont ]
it works. I tried every combination of \expanded, \xdef or \edef, but
it doesn't seem to work (while it does work in \definebodyfont). So it
must be something within ConTeXt that doesn't let it expand, and I
don't see how I could escape this problem. The \definebodyfont is a
workaround for now, but it has the problem that I have to give precise
font dimensions, which might fail in certain circumstances.
Thanks again

Both work for me. Unless I misunderstood what it is supposed to do.
\Gf is later used in the macros to define the Greek font. When defined
with the \definebodyfont alternative, this works; when I try the

See below for my (adjusted) input file, I hope it helps.

Using \getvalue{MyFont} instead of \MyFont will allow you to remove
the space from the definition, but that may not be what you want,
because it is more cumbersome. If that is the case, just leave the
space there.
1. After this definition, this will work:
\definebodyfont[4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,10.5pt,11pt,12pt,14pt,14.4p
t,16pt,18pt,20pt,22pt][rm][Gf=\MyFont sa \MyScale]
This, however, will not work:
\definefont[Gf][\MyFont sa \MyScale]
Both work for me. Unless I misunderstood what it is supposed to do.
2. In my module, I define some special symbols:
\define\koppa{\getglyph{\MyFont}{\char37}}
Rude, but effective:
\define\koppa {{\Gf \char37}}

[NTG-context] finishing a module
I spent some (too much) time today improving my Greek module. For the
time being, two questions remain; I'm confident that they're not too
difficult for the experts; any help would be appreciated.
I've succesfully defined my fonts and scale like so:
\def\setupgreek#1[#2]{%
\getparameters[GG][Scale=,Font=,#2]
\edef\MyScale{\GGScale}%
\processaction[\GGFont]
[ SomeFont1=>\def\MyFont{somefont },
SomeFont2=>\def\MyFont{someotherfont }]%
}
\protect
(The space after "somefont" looks ugly, but I haven't figured out how
to get rid of it; TeX will always complain if I delete it.)
1. After this definition, this will work:
\definebodyfont[4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,10.5pt,11pt,12pt,14pt,14.4p
t,16pt,18pt,20pt,22pt][rm][Gf=\MyFont sa \MyScale]
This, however, will not work:
\definefont[Gf][\MyFont sa \MyScale]
and I don't see why. Can anybody explain? I see that the \definefont...
takes care of the annoying problem with font sizes, so I would prefer
that way.
2. In my module, I define some special symbols:
\define\koppa{\getglyph{\MyFont}{\char37}}
Is there a way to give the same scaling factor here as in the
definition of \Gf? I tried
\define\koppa{\getglyph{\MyFont scaled }{\char37}}
as a first attempt which kind of works but gives me the letters "at" in
the pdf in front of the symbol.
Best
Thomas
