| Abstract: |
This is a summary of issues encountered and solutions implemented in order to support some
advanced OpenType features in ConTeXt. This article describes an accompanying package
that addresses installation (using TEXFONT), accommodating extended opticals families, and
some “pro” font features. The extended character set afforded by pro fonts enables support
for comprehensive small caps, old-style figures, and the use of greek glyphs to give workable
math fonts. Although the typescripts and commands are described together, certain features
(like variant encodings for TEXFONT and the idiosyncratic method for creating new math
fonts) can be used independently of the other features described. |
