[NTG-context] font catalogue (re)
Hello, it is not a list of available fonts i need, but a catalogue where one can see the typefaces. In the Minimal directory there are 91 tfm files, 309 pfb files and 2043 thm files. Chap 31 'Fonts and font switches' of .. an excursion or Sect 5.1.1 in '...the 'Manual' gives no example hwo to go from a tfm fil (say tcxr.tfm) to a usable font. A possible test file of typefaces could be (for my use specimen.tex): azertyu ... AZERTY ... äëÿuüïö ... âêûîô ... ÂÊÛÎÔ ... ÄËŸÜ ... '(-è_çà) and the font file for making a PDF: % how to go from TFM to 'normal' % \starttext \input specimen \stoptext I hope this can help beginners. -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org http://www.soundsurvey.org.uk/ ___ 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 ___

I copied the PDFs and played with the rules given in showfont.pdf, using a very short sample text ( azert, capitals + the diacritics used in french german). But I am not clear with the .map, .tfm etc. -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org http://www.soundsurvey.org.uk/ ___ 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 ___
