I'll send the typescripts once I figure out some problems, but: ok, alternatively we could ship the texnansi-* and ec-* variants but who cares 1.) Hans, why does \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [file:hlhr.pfb] fail with the message below? (I can send a complete example off-list.) How does one use pfb fonts then? Anyway, \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [name:LucidaBright] works fine, so that's ok for now. Using the accents in XeTeX would require extra tricks anyway, so concentrating on pdftex and luatex seems reasonable. i have no clue ... but best test with the latest beta also, i did a fix in math-vfu (extra nil check) as some shapes seem to be missing even if it works, luatex can quit whem embedding the file (buglet) but that has been fixed by taco yesterday 2.) When reading typescripts for mkii with mkiv (ec encoding that is based on virtual fonts), I don't get any accent at all, not even š and ž that are part of texnansi encoding and are present in font.

afaik originally yand only shipped texnansi metrics
\definetypescriptprefix [e:ec] [8t]
\definetypescriptprefix [e:texnansi] [8y]
\definetypescriptprefix [e:8r] [8r]
Quite possible. Lucida doesn't provide all the ec glyphs anyway (č is
not present), but the virtual font on CTAN apparently fakes it
successfully by placing caron over c and taking two glyphs
(successfully only in technical meaning, so that it works in the first
place; typographically it's obvious that the one who did the virtual
font has never used that glyph).
however, in context we have this texnansi-* naming scheme and for a while
(as i used lucida often) i shipped the texnansi-* metrics
The metrics are there already, it's only that their naming scheme is
weird. But unless someone really depends on raw tfm names, the
following should work OK:
\starttypescript [mono] [lucida] [ec,texnansi,8r]
\definefontsynonym [\typescriptthree-lbtr]
[hlcrt\typescriptprefix{e:\typescriptthree}]
[encoding=\typescriptthree] % LucidaTypewriter
\definefontsynonym [\typescriptthree-lbtb]
[hlcbt\typescriptprefix{e:\typescriptthree}]
[encoding=\typescriptthree] % LucidaTypewriterBold
\definefontsynonym [\typescriptthree-lbto]
[hlcrot\typescriptprefix{e:\typescriptthree}]
[encoding=\typescriptthree] % LucidaTypewriterOblique
\definefontsynonym [\typescriptthree-lbtbo]
[hlcbot\typescriptprefix{e:\typescriptthree}]
[encoding=\typescriptthree] % LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique
\definefontsynonym [LucidaTypewriter]
[\typescriptthree-lbtr] [encoding=\typescriptthree]
\definefontsynonym [LucidaTypewriterBold]
[\typescriptthree-lbtb] [encoding=\typescriptthree]
\definefontsynonym [LucidaTypewriterOblique]
[\typescriptthree-lbto] [encoding=\typescriptthree]
\definefontsynonym [LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique]
[\typescriptthree-lbtbo] [encoding=\typescriptthree]
\loadmapfile[lucida.map]
\stoptypescript
If one doesn't need the texnansi-lbr synonyms, it can be done more
efficiently in a single step.
Alternatively we can of course ship the metrics, but assume some LaTeX
user with an already working LaTeX installation of Lucida - wouldn't
it be great if it worked in ConTeX out-of-the-box?
now, when yandy went out of business and tug took over, things changed and
as the original tfm (math) metrics were no longer shipped we ended up in
some deadlock: context supported the original fonts (present on machines of
users) while tug didn't ship those 8 tfm files needed for math
But now the tfm files for math are shipped, or am I missing something?
Do you mean some other math fonts? The package on CTAN has the
following tfm files (and maybe some extra ones in vf that I didn't
manage to check completely yet):
hlcda LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi lbmad.pfb
hlcdimLucidaNewMath-DemiItaliclbmdi.pfb
hlcdima LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic lbmdo.pfb
hlcdm LucidaNewMath-Demibold lbmd.pfb
hlcdy LucidaNewMath-Symbol-Demi lbmsd.pfb
hlcra LucidaNewMath-Arrowslbma.pfb
hlcrimLucidaNewMath-Italiclbmi.pfb
hlcrima LucidaNewMath-AltItalic lbmo.pfb
hlcrm LucidaNewMath-Roman lbmr.pfb
hlcrv LucidaNewMath-Extension lbme.pfb
hlcry LucidaNewMath-Symbollbms.pfb
so, at that point i simply gave up on lucida (i had my own texnansi-* +
original math tfm files) as changing context would break existing lucida
usage
interesting is that the lucida metrics (afaik) are not shipped with tex live
so we cannot create a robust solution unless we ship with the minimale:
What does robust mean? One needs to buy the font anyway, so it won't
work out of the box, but it would be nice if it worked out of the box
with the files that TUG does ship. Metrics in TeX live don't really
help without pfb files and if one installs pfb files, one may easily
copy everything else along. Of course we can add the metrics to
minimals (optional install), but I would prefer them to match the ones
from TUG (currently they are also available on CTAN).
for mkiv (luatex):
- afm files (for mkiv)
- map file (can be small one)
- only some 8 math tfm files for mkiv
for mkii:
- map file
- tfm files (dunno which ones)
- vf files (dunno which ones)
I can double-check which ones are not needed, but we could drop at

Re: [NTG-context] Lucida Fonts with MKIV
how did you set up your lucida fonts in mkiv? First of all, I did not setup Lucida for MKIV (specifically). The following fonts come with the complete Lucida set from TUG: 46 AFM's 41 PFB's 42 PFM's 164 TFM's 63 VF's I placed all 356 of these font files into the same directory (ignoring directory structure) as well as the following three files lucida.ali lucida.map texnansi-yandy-luc.tex I simply followed these steps from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida 1) Downloaded lucida-complete.zip from TUG one year ago and extracted the files into my /usr/local/share/texmf tree. I followed the instructions located at http://www.tug.org/store/lucida/README.TUG to ensure that they worked in LaTeX (and they have for the last year) 2) I copied all files (not just the AFM and PFB as the instructions suggested) into the temporary directory (as indicated above) 3) Executed the following command: texfont --fontroot=/opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local --ve=yandy --co=luc --ma --in --expert 4) Downloaded and extracted the following file into /opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/lucida-cint.zip-0.9.zip 5) Nothing to do 6) Copied the type-luc.tex (provided by lucida-cint.zip-0.9.zip) into /opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base 7) Copied the cont-sys.tex (located originally in /opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base) into /opt/context-minimals/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user and edited it adding the line \usetypescriptfile[type-luc] 8) Executed `mktexlsr` 9) and 10) Added the following code to the preface of my ConTeXt document \usetypescript[luc][texnansi] \setupformulas[method=bold] \setupbodyfont[luc,10pt] \enablemathcollection[lbr] \usemathcollection[lbr] Notice that the line \input math-lbr was omitted because it is evidently not part of my ConTeXt minimals installation (although it is in my TeX Live 2008 installation). Now, by following these steps, I am able to successfully create ConTeXt documents with Lucida fonts (with and without math) using MKII (texexec). However, using the same document with MKIV (context), the document builds fine, all text and math is Lucida, but the math fonts are upright (Roman). ___ 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 ___

Re: [NTG-context] Lucida Fonts with MKIV
Hello,
Here are some of my observations about Lucida fonts (font part for
now; math part comes later). I made a detailed check of files that are
present on CTAN.
I don't know how Hans' metric files look like, but:
- texfont --ve=yandy ... doesn't do anything here
- texfont --ve=bh ... creates a bunch of files, however *not* the T1
files which are of crucial importance to me; T1 (=ec) is only
supported via virtual fonts. (And even then the character looks just
about terrible, but still better than not having it at all.)
I have fixed the typescripts, so that one doesn't need to generate any
additional files apart from those present on CTAN (and we can also add
them to minimals, but it might be nice to cooperate with Hans first to
prevent any name clashes). I'll send the typescripts once I figure out
some problems, but:
1.) Hans, why does
\definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [file:hlhr.pfb]
fail with the message below? (I can send a complete example off-list.)
How does one use pfb fonts then? Anyway, \definefontsynonym
[LucidaBright] [name:LucidaBright] works fine, so that's ok for now.
Using the accents in XeTeX would require extra tricks anyway, so
concentrating on pdftex and luatex seems reasonable.
2.) When reading typescripts for mkii with mkiv (ec encoding that is
based on virtual fonts), I don't get any accent at all, not even š and
ž that are part of texnansi encoding and are present in font. Why is
that?
3.) When creating a devoted mkiv typescript, č is missing (and so are
ćđ, but I can live without the two of them as long as Nino is not
nearby :), however not being able to use č is a no-go for me.
I'll get to math later. At the moment I had to figure out how the
files are organized and how to use them without having to depend on
texfont.

Re: [NTG-context] Lucida Fonts with MKIV
I've also noticed that some of the math kerning seems a little off. For example, with $y(x)$ the y seems to be way too close to the (. I'm not sure how much of this is a difference in LaTeX (that I am used to) and ConTeXt's spacing and how much is due to ConTeXt+Lucida. Another example similar to this is $\sin(x)\cos(y)$. The n in the sin and the s in cos both seem a little close to the following (. Perhaps the issue is with the ( itself.
