I am a beginner at TeX myself, and wanted to use this page to record
those little hints and examples which helped me over the rough spots,
in the hope that they may help others. I'll refine and extend the
examples as I gain more experience.
<P>The techniques I describe here are used to produce all of the <A
HREF="http://sattre-press.com/">Sattre Press</A> titles.
<P>I presume the reader has all the documents available from the
ConTeXt and pdfTeX web pages. Other sources of information: both

web. Searching the usenet group <CODE>comp.text.tex</CODE> can be useful
also.

portable across systems, and it should be possible to adapt the
examples to other platforms.

Everything in the TeX world has its place. There is a vast amount of material in the TeX directory tree, which on my system
starts at <CODE>/usr/share/texmf</CODE>.
<P>Further, you can customize local and auxiliary directory structures. Look at <CODE>texmf.cnf</CODE>.
<P>Experiment with the <CODE>kpsewhich</CODE> utility, particularly with the <CODE>--show-path</CODE> option, which
shows all the different places in which TeX will look for different files.
<P>Using this, I see that the current directory is always first in the path, meaning I can make all sorts of "system"
changes which effect only the current project. As far as I can tell, all files of interest are treated this way:
<CODE>.cfg, .cnf, .tex, .map, .tfm, .pfb,</CODE> etc.
<P>Once a new file becomes stable it can be promoted to later ("higher") directories in the search path. <CODE>kpsewhich</CODE>
shows that I have a personal TeX directory tree in my home directory: <CODE>/home/wmcclain/texmf</CODE>. Then there are
site-specific directories, etc.
<P>Remember: if you add or delete any files in the TeX tree (see the
list of directories <CODE>$TEXMFDBS</CODE> in <CODE>texmf.cnf</CODE>,
you <STRONG>must</STRONG> rebuild the filename database with
<CODE>mktexlsr</CODE>. On my system, <CODE>texhash</CODE> is a synonym
for this command.
<P>On Linux, I run <CODE>updatedb</CODE> daily, and use <CODE>locate</CODE> to find all those pesky configuration files.
<H2><A NAME="install">Installation</A></H2>
SuSE Linux comes with both ConTeXt and pdfTeX, but these packages are updated rather frequently and it is necessary to
upgrade without waiting for SuSE.
<P>These notes are not a replacement for the real installation docs! I just show what I actually do when upgrading.
<P>I do the upgrade in the main TeX tree: <CODE>/usr/share/texmf</CODE>. If I were ambitious I would test in some auxiliary
directory first, but I haven't had much trouble yet. I have backups and am able to reinstall pretty quickly.

<H2><A NAME="selectfont">Selecting Fonts</A></H2>
Fonts are a complicated business, but become easier to deal with once you have run
a few experiments. The primary document is <EM>Fonts in ConTeXt</EM>
(<CODE>mfonts.pdf</CODE>).
<P>Note that we tend to be spoiled by the default Computer Modern font which has a
large number of good features which just work automatically. Emulating that
capability with a new font requires a good deal of setup.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3><A NAME="selectfont-simple">Simple (and not very useful) method</A></H3>
You can simply specify a font file and use it, either in plain TeX or by using ConTeXt
macros. This is not very useful because it does not give you the convenient switching to
italic, bold, small caps, math mode, etc, which a well-defined typeface will do. However,
it is instructive to try it, just to prove that the system is setup correctly and that the
maps and font files can be found.
<P>You can (for a start) use any font listed in <CODE>pdftex.map</CODE>, presuming both
the <CODE>.tfm</CODE> and <CODE>.pfb</CODE> font files exist. (This is not always the
case on my system).
<P>For example, here is the first data line in my <CODE>pdftex.map</CODE> file:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE>
bchb8r CharterBT-Bold "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc <bchb8a.pfb
</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The contents of <CODE>pdftex.map</CODE> are documented in <EM>The pdfTeX User Manual</EM> (<CODE>pdftexman.pdf</CODE>).
For now, just note that this line refers to "Bitstream Charter Bold." The first field, <CODE>bchb8r</CODE>,
is the name of a <CODE>.tfm</CODE> (TeX Font Metric) file, and <CODE>bchb8a.pfb</CODE> is a Type1
font file. In TeX programs, fonts are identified by their <CODE>.tfm</CODE> names.
<P>Since both <CODE>bchb8r.tfm</CODE> and <CODE>bchb8a.pfb</CODE> exist on my system, I can use the font as follows.
<P>Using just plain TeX:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\font\myfirstfont=bchb8r
\myfirstfont Of wind I sang, a wind there came, and in the branches blew.
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Using ConTeXt macros:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\definefontsynonym[CharterBT-Bold][bchb8r][encoding=8r]
\definefont[MySecondFont][CharterBT-Bold]
\starttext
\MySecondFont I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
\stoptext
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3><A NAME="selectfont-typescript">Using Typescripts</A></H3>
ConTeXt now uses typescripts to define and select fonts. This is the way to go for maximum flexibility.
<P>"Typescripts are in fact just organized definitions" says <CODE>mfonts.pdf</CODE>. They are a way
of building a database of names which provides layers of abstraction. The TeX document
can be written so that it will continue to be "correct" even as major changes in fonts, families and styles
are made at the deeper levels.
<H4>typescript files</H4>
Typescripts are definitions contained between <CODE>\starttypescript</CODE> and <CODE>\stoptypescript</CODE>.
The typescripts are found in and loaded from several file sources:
<UL>
<LI>Several <CODE>type-*.tex</CODE> files are automatically searched. See the list in <CODE>mfonts.pdf</CODE>.
<LI>A file <CODE>type-loc.tex</CODE> in the search path will be searched automatically.
<LI>Any file in the search path, for example, <CODE>myscripts.tex</CODE>, can be loaded with
<CODE>\usetypescriptfile[myscripts]</CODE>.
</UL>
<H4>A simple example</H4>
For example, using Bitstream Charter again, I have these fonts on my system:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD><CODE>bchr8r</CODE></TD>
<TD>roman</TD>
</TR>
<TR>

<TD>italic</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><CODE>bchbi8r</CODE></TD>
<TD>bold italic</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
I can create this typescript file, <CODE>type-charter.tex</CODE>:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\usetypescriptfile[type-buy]
\starttypescript [serif] [charter] [8r]
\definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman] [bchr8r] [encoding=8r]
\definefontsynonym [Charter-Bold] [bchb8r] [encoding=8r]

And use it like this:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\usetypescriptfile[type-charter]
\usetypescript[Charter]
\setupbodyfont[MyCharter]
\starttext
This is roman, {\bf bold}, {\it italic}, {\bi bold-italic},
{\tfa bigger} and {\tfx smaller}.
\stoptext
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H4>Multiple fonts</H4>
I also have Adobe Utopia, so I can make a <CODE>type-utopia.tex</CODE>
typescript file very similar to the Charter example above:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\usetypescriptfile[type-buy]
\starttypescript [serif] [utopia] [8r]
\usetypescript[serif][fallback]
\definefontsynonym [Utopia-Roman] [putr8r] [encoding=8r]
\definefontsynonym [Utopia-Bold] [putb8r] [encoding=8r]
\definefontsynonym [Utopia-Italic] [putri8r] [encoding=8r]
\definefontsynonym [Utopia-Bold-Italic] [putbi8r] [encoding=8r]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [serif] [utopia] [name]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [Utopia-Roman]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Utopia-Bold]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Utopia-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Utopia-Bold-Italic]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [Utopia]
\definetypeface [MyUtopia] [rm] [serif] [utopia] [default] [encoding=8r]
\stoptypescript
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
And then use both fonts in the same job:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\usetypescriptfile[type-charter]
\usetypescript[Charter]
\usetypescriptfile[type-utopia]
\usetypescript[Utopia]
\setupbodyfont[MyCharter]
\starttext
This is Charter roman, {\bf bold}, {\it italic}, {\bi bold-italic},
{\tfa bigger} and {\tfx smaller}.
\switchtobodyfont[MyUtopia]
This is Utopia roman, {\bf bold}, {\it italic}, {\bi bold-italic},
{\tfa bigger} and {\tfx smaller}.
\stoptext
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Note that the default Computer Modern font is always available, even
when the job defines other fonts:
declare it with <CODE>\usetypescript[modern][default]</CODE> and
select it with <CODE>\switchtobodyfont[modern]</CODE>.
<H4>Questions</H4>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<STRONG>What does the <CODE>\usetypescriptfile[type-buy]</CODE>
do?</STRONG>
It loads a typescript which contains the definition of the <CODE>[serif][fallback]</CODE>
typescript which I use later.
<P><STRONG>What does the <CODE>\usetypescript[serif][fallback]</CODE>
do?</STRONG>
It simplifies the definition of my new typescript. My example fonts are
very simple and do not have slanted or smallcaps variants. ConTeXt
requires those variants to be defined. I could add dummy declarations
and define SerifSlanted to be the same as SerifItalic,
SerifBoldSlanted to be SerifBoldItalic, and SerifCaps to be simply
Serif. However, if you look at the definition of the
<CODE>[serif][fallback]</CODE> typescript in
<CODE>type-buy.tex</CODE>, you will see that those declarations have
already been made. My typescript can "inherit" from the predefined
fallback typescript.
<P><STRONG>What about the <CODE>encoding=8r</CODE>
references?</STRONG>
I specified these because that was what was listed for these fonts in
<CODE>pdftex.map</CODE>. I'll try to add more on encodings to this
document someday.
<P><STRONG>What are the parameters to <CODE>\starttypescript</CODE>?</STRONG>
Typescripts can have up to three "specifiers". It is like having a
database where you can use up to three keys to find a record. You can
make up your own values. For example, if I have:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\starttypescript[A][B][C]
% ...various statements
\stoptypescript
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
I can find and execute the typescript with:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\usetypescript[A][B][C]
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The keyword <CODE>all</CODE> matches any value:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\usetypescript[A][B][all]
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
These examples will <STRONG>not</STRONG> match typescript
<CODE>[A][B][C]</CODE>:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\usetypescript[A]
\usetypescript[A][B]
\usetypescript[A][B][D]
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
You can have lists of key values to match. If I have:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\starttypescript[A][B][C]
% ...various statements
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[A][B][Z]
% ...various statements
\stoptypescript
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Then I can execute both typescripts with:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\usetypescript[A][B][C,Z]
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Note that the search for typescript matches has a cumulative
effect. Our database allows duplicate key values and the search will
find and execute all the matches.
<P><STRONG>What are the parameters to <CODE>\definetypeface</CODE>?</STRONG>
This is where it all comes together. Suppose we have:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\definetypeface[A][B][C][D][E][F]
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
This means:
<UL>
<LI>Define typeface <CODE>A</CODE> (any name you like) in its variant
<CODE>B</CODE>, where the common variants are:
<UL>
<LI><CODE>rm</CODE>: roman (normal)
<LI><CODE>ss</CODE>: sans serif
<LI><CODE>tt</CODE>: monospaced
<LI><CODE>mm</CODE>: math mode
<LI><CODE>cg</CODE>: calligraphy
</UL>
<LI>Use typescript <CODE>[C][D][name]</CODE> to define the styles for
this variant. <CODE>C</CODE> can be any name you like, but by
convention is commonly one or more of:
<UL>
<LI><CODE>serif</CODE>
<LI><CODE>sans</CODE>
<LI><CODE>mono</CODE>
<LI><CODE>math</CODE>
<LI><CODE>handwriting</CODE>
</UL>
<CODE>D</CODE> can be any name you like. Usually it is some variation
on the font name.
<LI>Use typescript <CODE>[C][E][size]</CODE> to define the size
information for this typeface.
<LI>Use <CODE>F</CODE> for other options, typically
<CODE>encoding</CODE> and <CODE>rscale</CODE>.
</UL>
<STRONG>Example.</STRONG> Now we can interpret the setup of the font
Charter as given above:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>
\starttypescript [serif] [charter] [name]
\usetypescript[serif][fallback]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [Charter-Roman]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Charter-Bold]
\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Charter-Italic]
\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Charter-Bold-Italic]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [Charter]
\definetypeface [MyCharter] [rm] [serif] [charter] [default] [encoding=8r]
\stoptypescript
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
This means:
<UL>
<LI>Create a typescript <CODE>Charter</CODE> which packages all
the following.
<LI>Define a font "MyCharter" in its normal (roman) variant.
<LI>Use typescript <CODE>[serif][charter][name]</CODE> to define
its styles.
<LI>Use typescript <CODE>[serif][fallback]</CODE> for any styles
we haven't defined.
<LI>Use typescript <CODE>[serif][default]</CODE> for the size
information. (Found in <CODE>type-siz.tex</CODE>).
<LI>Use encoding <CODE>8r</CODE>.
</UL>
<STRONG>What are the predefined style names?</STRONG> The style names
used in the <CODE>\definefontsynonym</CODE> are special in that
ConTeXt uses them to implement the font switching macros such as
<CODE>\bf, \it, \sc, </CODE> etc. The predefined names are:
<CODE>
<UL>
<LI>[Serif,Sans,Mono]
<LI>[Serif,Sans,Mono]Bold
<LI>[Serif,Sans,Mono]Italic
<LI>[Serif,Sans,Mono]BoldItalic
<LI>[Serif,Sans,Mono]Slanted
<LI>[Serif,Sans,Mono]BoldSlanted
<LI>[Serif,Sans,Mono]Caps
</UL>

<P>We also have these styles:
<CODE>
<UL>
<LI>MathAlpha
<LI>MathAlphaBold
<LI>MathBeta
<LI>MathExtension

<STRONG>Important</STRONG>: the <CODE>\loadmapfile</CODE> macro will
<STRONG>not</STRONG> work unless the
<CODE>\autoloadmapfilestrue</CODE> line is uncommented in
<CODE>cont-sys.tex</CODE>.
<P><STRONG>Important</STRONG>: note that we do <STRONG>not</STRONG>
reference the <CODE>texnansi-raw-*</CODE> files in the font
declaration. I made that mistake in the first version. That usage works
for many characters, but not for ligatures and some other things. The
right way to do it is to reference the virtual font files, as shown.
<P>Using the font is easy:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>\usetypescriptfile[type-sabon]
\usetypescript[Sabon]
\setupbodyfont[Sabon]
\starttext
This is Sabon roman, {\it italic,} {\bf bold,} and {\bi bold-italic.}
{\em \bf This is also bold-italic.}
We have {\sc small caps} and old-style figures: {\os 0123456789}.
\stoptext</PRE>
</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The font files defined in the typescript give us a palette for
assembling new typefaces. For example, I bought eight font files, but
three are not being used, the ones that have bold and italic old-style
figures:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>[Sabon-Italic-OSF] [texnansi-saiof]
[Sabon-Bold-OSF] [texnansi-sabof]
[Sabon-Bold-Italic-OSF][texnansi-sabio]</PRE>
</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Indeed, ConTeXt does not provide a way of combining both old-style and
bold or italic; this does not do what you think it might:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE>
{\em \os 0123456789}
</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The figures will be old-style regular, not italic. The way to use
these fonts is to define a new typeface that always uses old-style
figures in the bold and italic forms. We add some lines to
<CODE>type-sabon.tex</CODE> which now looks like:

Then we can see our old-style figures:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>\usetypescriptfile[type-sabon]
\usetypescript[SabonOldStyle]
\setupbodyfont[SabonOldStyle]
\starttext
This is Sabon roman 0123456789,
old-style \os 0123456789,
{\it italic 0123456789,}
{\bf bold 0123456789,}
and {\bi bold-italic 0123456789.}
{\em \bf This is also bold-italic 0123456789.}
\stoptext
</PRE>
</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Note that the usage is a bit inconsistent: bold and italic use
old-style figures by default and do not require <CODE>\os</CODE>, but
the regular font uses the standard "lining" figures and does require
<CODE>\os</CODE> for the old-style figures. It would be more
consistent to make old-style the default for the regular font, but we
would need to make a virtual font to do that. (Reason: the regular
old-style figures are contained in the small-caps font file. Virtual
fonts allow us to assemble portions of existing font files into a new
"view").
<P>Using the scheme shown here, if we want both lining and old-style
figures in bold or italic, we have to use both typefaces and switch
between them as necessary.
<P>This example does not provide any math mode definitions.

<H2><A NAME="typography">Typography</A></H2>
I use TeX to typeset books for print publication. Just as I am a
beginning TeX user, so am I a beginning typographer and book designer
(but a very serious one).
<P>My interest is in traditional forms suitable for novels and the
like. All the examples I give below are intended for that use. I have
generally followed the advice given by these authors:
<UL>
<LI>Robert Bringhurst, <EM>The Elements of Typographic Style</EM>
<LI>Jan Tschichold, <EM>The Form of the Book</EM>
<LI>Geoffrey Dowding, <EM>Finer Points in the Spacing & Arrangement of Type</EM>
</UL>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3><A NAME="typography-wordspacing">Tight word spacing</A></H3>
Do not insert extra space at the end of sentences. Use small paragraph
indententation and do not use vertical spacing between parapgraphs.
<P>In plain TeX, tight spacing at the end of sentences is called
<CODE>\frenchspacing</CODE>.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>\setupspacing[packed] % normal word space at the end of sentences

</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3><A NAME="typography-indenting">Indenting</A></H3>
You can bring in the margins for a quotation or extract with
<CODE>\startnarrower ... \stopnarrower</CODE>. The amount of
indentation is in predefined units which are established separately
for the left, right, and middle (which does both left and right by the
same amount). For example, I could do something like:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE>\setupnarrower[left=4em,right=2in,middle=3cm]</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
And then:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>\startnarrower[3*left] % indents left margin 12em
\startnarrower[right] % indents right margin 2 inches
\startnarrower[2*middle] % indents both margins 6 cm
</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The manual shows how to combine parameters.
<P><CODE>\startnarrower</CODE> without parameters is the same as
<CODE>\startnarrower[middle]</CODE>.
<P>There is a reasonable default indentation size, but I don't know its
exact dimension.
<H3><A NAME="typography-symbols">Using smaller symbols</A></H3>
Dowding says that "&" can be substituted for "and" wherever doing so
improves the page. This is <STRONG>not</STRONG> a license to globally
replace all such occurances; I use the technique only as a last resort
to eliminate an overfull box.
<P>In the fonts I have used the full-height "&" seems too large in
body text, so I use a smaller version:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE>\def\Ampersand{{\tfx \&}}</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The italic "&" is often a fancier glyph and might be useful; or it
might be too fancy for body text use. I would use the italic version
in Computer Modern, but the regular glyph in Adobe Sabon.
<P>I also think the full-size "$" is too big in body text, and use a
reduced version:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE>\def\Dollar{{\tfx \$}}</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3><A NAME="typography-dashes">Dashes</A></H3>
The em-dash is too wide. Use a spaced en-dash instead: "<CODE> --
</CODE>". Depending on the context, it might be necessary to use a
non-breaking space (~) on either side to prevent an unwanted line break.
<H3><A NAME="typography-letterspacing">Letterspacing capitals and small caps</A></H3>
The experts say that strings of uppercase and small-cap words should
be slightly letterspaced. I find that a very little spacing is
"plenty." Sometimes it does not look right at all, and I omit
it. Note that it is an offence against typography to letterspace
lowercase letters.
<P>Since getting a tip from Hans Hagen, I have used these macros:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>\def\CapStretchAmount{.08em}
\def\CapStretch#1{\def\stretchedspaceamount{\CapStretchAmount}\stretchednormalcase{#1}}</PRE>
</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Which is used as so:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE>\CapStretch{\sc The King in Yellow}</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3><A NAME="typography-hanging">Margin kerning: Hanging punctuation and protruding characters</A></H3>
The typography references say that a justified margin does not look
"optically" straight when the characters are "mechanically" aligned to
that margin, because some characters are too light to color the
margin. The margin looks straighter if they are pushed farther
into it.
<P>I have seen very few examples of this technique in the real world
(other than photos of Gutenberg's Bible) so it is hard to judge its
proper use. Experimentation and considered judgement are required.
<P>The technique is supported by pdfTeX and ConTeXt. See Hàn
Thê Thành's dissertation: <EM><A
HREF="http://www.pragma-ade.nl/pdftex/thesis.pdf">Micro-typographic
extensions to the TEX typesetting system</A></EM>, and <EM>Fonts in
ConTeXt</EM> (<CODE>mfonts.pdf</CODE>).
<P>Note that in TeX the technique does not merely stretch the
whitespace between words; it actually enters into the line-breaking
algorithm and can greatly alter a paragraph's setting.
<P>ConTeXt comes with a couple of prededefined settings. You can see
the definitions in <CODE>type-exa.tex</CODE> and
<CODE>hang-def.tex</CODE>. To move the small puncuation marks a full
em into the margin, use:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE>\usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [pure]</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
To use a slightly less drastic style which also shifts alphabetic
characters very slightly, use:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE>\usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [thanh]</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Margin kerning is enabled with something like:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>\usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [thanh]
\usetypescriptfile[type-sabon]
\usetypescript[Sabon]
\setupbodyfont[Sabon]
\setupalign[hanging]</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<STRONG>Important:</STRONG> The case for the default font, Computer
Modern, is more complicated. Hanging alignment must be defined before
the font is loaded, but Computer Modern is loaded before our
definitions. The solution is to load it again after the definitions:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<CODE><PRE>\setupfontsynonym[cmr10][handling=pure]
\setupfontsynonym[Serif][handling=pure]
\setupfonthandling[normal][left=1,right=1]
\usetypescript[cmr]
\setupbodyfont[10pt]</PRE></CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
You can customize your own settings. In fact, different fonts need
different settings. For example, I added these lines to my
<CODE>type-sabon.tex</CODE> file (stolen from
<CODE>hang-def.tex</CODE>, still to be adapted):
