How to make this typescript work in ConTeXt?
Replace the \usebodyfont[myfont]
line in your example with \setupbodyfont[myfont]
to enable your typeface.
A alternative to the simplefonts
module is the \definefontfamily
command from the core which allows you to use fonts without the need to write a typescript.
\definefontfamily [kleymissky] [rm] [Kleymissky]
\definefontfamily [kleymissky] [ss] [Latin Modern Sans]
\definefontfamily [kleymissky] [tt] [Latin Modern Mono] [features=none]
\definefontfamily [kleymissky] [mm] [Latin Modern Math]
\setupbodyfont[kleymissky]
\starttext
This is rm.
{\ss This is ss.}
{\tt This is tt.}
\stoptext

I'm trying to come to grips with typescripts in ConTeXt. Amongst all the examples and all the documentation, it just is not clear what is happening.
I downloaded a new font for use with this example here. It's called kleymissky and the output of
mtxrun --script fonts --info
is here.My test file is as follows:
\starttypescript[serif][kleymissky] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym[Serif][name:kleymissky][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [myfont] \definetypeface[myfont][rm][serif][kleymissky][default] \definetypeface[myfont][ss][sans][modern][default] \definetypeface[myfont][tt][mono][modern][default] \stoptypescript \usebodyfont[myfont] \starttext {\tf This is tf.} {\ss This is ss.} {\tt This is tt.} {\definedfont[name:kleymissky] This is kleymissky.} {\definedfont[name:modern] This is latin-modern.} \stoptext
The intent is to use kleymissky for the main serif font, but to revert to the Latin Modern font for ss and tt. But that is not the behavior:
For comparison, I tried the
simplefonts
module, which ended up doing what I wanted:\usemodule [simplefonts] \setmainfont [kleymissky] \starttext {\tf This is tf.} {\ss This is ss.} {\tt This is tt.} {\definedfont[name:kleymissky] This is kleymissky.} {\definedfont[name:modern] This is latin-modern.} \stoptext
and I get:
So obviously I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot fathom what. Could someone help me to fix this typescript and/or help me to understand what is happening?
