%D Watch out: as we define inside macros in sometimes special ways,
%D an occasional \type {\normaldef} is used in order to please the
%D \MKVI\ parser.

%D Beware, we use a special set of parameters here:
%D
%D \starttabulate[|l|l|]
%D \NC system variable (fixed) \NC \type {\s!text}           \NC \NR
%D \NC system variable (fixed) \NC \type {\s!script}         \NC \NR
%D \NC system variable (fixed) \NC \type {\s!scriptscript}   \NC \NR
%D \NC system variable (fixed) \NC \type {\s!x}              \NC \NR
%D \NC system variable (fixed) \NC \type {\s!xx}             \NC \NR
%D \NC variable (value)        \NC \type {\v!big}            \NC \NR
%D \NC variable (value)        \NC \type {\v!small}          \NC \NR
%D \NC constant (regular key)  \NC \type {\c!interlinespace} \NC \NR
%D \NC constant (regular key)  \NC \type {\c!em}             \NC \NR
%D \stoptabulate
%D
%D The math related ones are similar to the ones used in \TEX\ itself,
%D the size related ones show up as keywords in the user interface
%D when switching sizes, and the two constants are used in key|/|value
%D situations.

%D We should consider design sizes ... maybe kick 'm out which removes
%D the size code and simplifies things considerably. After all, there
%D will be no latin modern math in sizes.

\writestatus{loading}{ConTeXt Font Macros / Initialization}

%D Documentation is somewhat messy as it contains bits and pieces of
%D previous versions.

\unprotect

%D There are several ways to specify a font. Three of them are
%D pure \TeX\ ones, the fourth one is new:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \font\name=cmr12
%D \font\name=cmr12 at 10pt
%D \font\name=cmr12 scaled 2
%D \font\name=cmr12 sa 1.440
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D The non||\TEX\ alternative \type{sa} stands for {\em scaled
%D at}. This means as much as: scale the bodyfontsize with this
%D factor. The scaled option is not that useful as one needs to
%D know the design size.
%D
%D Because \type {sa} (scaled at) and \type {mo} (mapped on)
%D are not low level \TEX\ supported alternatives, we have to
%D test for it ourselves. In doing so, we need an auxiliary
%D \DIMENSION. We cannot use \type{\scratchdimen} because font
%D loading can happen at any moment due to postponed loading.
%D We could instead have used dirty grouping tricks, but this
%D one works too.

%D
%D Fonts are defined in separate files. When we define a font,
%D we distinguish between several styles. In most cases we will
%D use:
%D
%D \startlinecorrection
%D \starttable[|l||]
%D \HL
%D \NC roman regular serif    \NC \type{\rm} \NC\FR
%D \NC sansserif sans support \NC \type{\ss} \NC\MR
%D \NC type teletype mono     \NC \type{\tt} \NC\LR
%D \HL
%D \stoptable
%D \stoplinecorrection
%D
%D The number of styles is not limited to these three. When
%D using Lucida Bright we can for instance also define:
%D
%D \startlinecorrection
%D \starttable[|l||]
%D \HL
%D \NC handwritten  \NC \type{\hw} \NC\FR
%D \NC calligraphic \NC \type{\cg} \NC\LR
%D \HL
%D \stoptable
%D \stoplinecorrection
%D
%D Within such a font set (\type{cmr}) and style (\type{\rm})
%D we can define a number of text font alternatives:
%D
%D \startlinecorrection
%D \starttable[|l||]
%D \HL
%D \NC typeface    \NC \type{\tf} \NC\FR
%D \NC boldface    \NC \type{\bf} \NC\MR
%D \NC slanted     \NC \type{\sl} \NC\MR
%D \NC italic      \NC \type{\it} \NC\MR
%D \NC boldslanted \NC \type{\bs} \NC\MR
%D \NC bolditalic  \NC \type{\bi} \NC\MR
%D \NC smallcaps   \NC \type{\sc} \NC\LR
%D \HL
%D \stoptable
%D \stoplinecorrection
%D
%D Internally fonts are stored as combination of size, style
%D and alternative, e.g. \type{12pt}+\type{\ss}+\type{\bf}.
%D Users are not confronted with sizes, but use the style or
%D style+alternative to activate them.
%D
%D During the definition of a bodyfont one can also declare the
%D available larger alternatives:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \tf \tfa \tfb \tfc ...
%D \bf \bfa \bfb \bfc ...
%D \sl \sla \slb \slc ...
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D The smaller ones are automatically supplied and derived from
%D the the bodyfont environment.
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \tfx \tfxx
%D \bfx \bfxx
%D \slx \slxx
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D There are only two smaller alternatives per style. The
%D larger alternatives on the other hand have no limitations.
%D
%D These larger alternatives are mostly used in chapter and
%D section titles or on title pages. When one switches to a
%D larger alternative, the bold an other ones automatically
%D adapt themselves:
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \tfd Hi \bf there\sl, here \tfb I \bf am
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%S \startnarrower
%D \typebuffer
%S \stopnarrower
%D
%D therefore becomes:
%D
%D \startexample
%D \getbuffer
%D \stopexample
%D
%D Maybe this mechanism isn't always as logic, but as said
%D before, we tried to make it as intuitive as possible.
%D
%D So a specific kind of glyph can be characterized by:
%D
%D \startnarrower
%D family (cmr) + bodyfont (12pt) + style (rm) + alternative (bf) + size (a)
%D \stopnarrower
%D
%D The last component (the size) is optional.
%D
%D We introduced \type{\tf} as command to call for the current
%D normally sized typeface. This commands results in roman,
%D sans serif, teletype or whatever style is in charge. Such
%D rather massive switches of style sometimes take more
%D processing time than comfortable. Of course there is a
%D workaround for this: we can call fonts directly by means of
%D commands like:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \rmtf \sssl \tttf \rmbsa
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D One should realize that this fast calls have limitations,
%D they lack for instance automatic super- and subscript
%D support.
%D
%D This leaves us two more commands: \type{\tx} and
%D \type{\txx}. These activate a smaller and even more smaller
%D font than the current one and adapt themselves to the
%D current alternative, so when \type{\bf} is active,
%D \type{\tx} gives a smaller boldface, which in turn can be
%D called directly by \type{\bfx}.
%D
%D These two smaller alternatives are specified by the bodyfont
%D environment and therefore not necessarily have similar sizes
%D as \type{\scriptsize} and \type{\scriptscriptsize}. The main
%D reason for this incompatibility (which can easily be undone)
%D lays in the fact that we often want a bit bigger characters
%D than in math mode. In \CONTEXT\ for instance the \type{\tx}
%D and \type{\txx} commands are used for surrogate
%D \cap{smallcaps} which support both nesting and alternatives,
%D like in {\bf\cap{a \cap{small} world}}, which was typeset by
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \bf\cap{a \cap{small} world}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D And compare $\rm \scriptstyle THIS$ with the slightly larger
%D \cap{THIS}: \ruledhbox{$\rm \scriptstyle scriptstyle: THIS$}
%D or \ruledhbox{\cap{x style: THIS}} makes a big difference.
%D
%D The \type{x..d} sizes should be used grouped. If you
%D don't group them, i.e. call them in a row, \CONTEXT\ will
%D not be able to sort out your intention (\type {x} inside
%D \type {d} inside \type {x}. etc.). The following table
%D demonstrates this:
%D
%D \def\FontState{\setstrut\ruledhbox{\strut Hello}}

%D   {everybodyfont,everyglobalbodyfont}
%D
%D Every change in bodyfont size has conseqences for the baseline
%D distance and skips between paragraphs. These are initialized
%D in other modules. Here we only provide the hooks that
%D garantees their handling.
%D
%D At the system level one can initialize thing like:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \appendtoks \setupspacing \to \everybodyfont
%D \stoptyping

%D \macros
%D   {globalbodyfontsize,localbodyfontsize,bodyfontsize}

%D Here we have to distinguish between the global (overal) bodyfont
%D size and the local (sometimes in the textflow) size. We store
%D these dimensions in two \DIMENSION\ registers. These registers are
%D not to be misused in calculations.

\ifdefined\globalbodyfontsize\else \newdimen\globalbodyfontsize \fi \globalbodyfontsize=12pt
\ifdefined\localbodyfontsize \else \newdimen\localbodyfontsize  \fi \localbodyfontsize =\globalbodyfontsize
\ifdefined\bodyfontsize      \else \newdimen\bodyfontsize       \fi \bodyfontsize      =\globalbodyfontsize

%D When we assign for instance 12pt to a \DIMENSION\ register the \type
%D {\the}'d value comes out as 12.0pt, which is often not the way users
%D specify the bodyfont size. Therefore we use normalized values. They
%D are cached to save overhead in \LUA\ calls.

%D Scaling macros:
%D
%D This system is somewhat complicated by two (possible conflicting)
%D demands:
%D
%D \startitemize
%D \item We support wildcards like \type {sa *} which will adapt
%D       to the current size. This is also the default specification.
%D \item We support named scales like \type {sa d}; beware: \type
%D       {x} and \type {xx} are valid scales but they are not alway
%D       the same as the ones used in for instance \type {\bfx} because
%D       there the sized come from the bodyfont environment. In the
%D       future there maybe a switch that also honors the environment
%D       in named scales.
%D \stopitemize
%D
%D Keep in mind that the smaller sizes are just for text super and
%D subscripts while larger sizes can be used in titles where for
%D instance math follows the size.

%D In the following macros we use \type{\currentxfontsize} to
%D hold the current x||size of the font. This enables us to
%D support for instance \type{\sl} inside a \type{\tx} switch.

\newconstant\currentxfontsize

\def\xfontsize{\ifcase\currentxfontsize\fontsize\or\s!x\else\s!xx\fi}

%D Now we enter the area of font switching. The switching
%D mechanism has to take care of several situations, like:
%D
%D \startitemize[packed]
%D \item  changing the overal document fonts (including margins,
%D       headers and footers)
%D \item  changing local fonts (only the running text)
%D \item  smaller and even more smaller alternatives (super-
%D       and subscripts)
%D \stopitemize
%D
%D \TEX\ offers a powerfull family mechanism for super- and
%D subscripts in math mode. In text mode however, we don't use
%D families for the smaller alternatives, and therefore have
%D to take care of it otherwise.

%D \macros
%D   {definebodyfontenvironment,setupbodyfontenvironment}
%D
%D The relationship between the several sizes of a font, is
%D defined by:
%D
%D \showsetup{definebodyfontenvironment}
%D
%D Later on we will see how these parameters are used, so for
%D the moment we stick with an example:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \definebodyfontenvironment
%D   [12pt]
%D   [        text=12pt,
%D          script=9pt,
%D    scriptscript=7pt,
%D               x=10pt,
%D              xx=8pt,
%D             big=12pt,
%D           small=10pt]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D The first argument specifies the bodyfont size to which the
%D settings apply. All second parameters are specified in
%D dimensions and tell us more about related sizes.
%D
%D Afterwards, one can change values with
%D
%D \showsetup{setupbodyfontenvironment}
%D
%D When instead of a size the keyword \type{unknown} is
%D passed, fractions (relations) are used instead of fixed
%D sizes.

%D {\bf Remark:} We need to cover the following cases, otherwise users can
%D get confused:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \setupbodyfont[23pt]
%D
%D \definebodyfontenvironment[23pt]
%D \setupbodyfont[23pt]
%D
%D \definebodyfontenvironment[23pt]
%D \definebodyfont[23pt][rm,ss,tt][default]
%D \setupbodyfont[23pt]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Beware: while some font defs can be global, the bodyfont
%D environment checks local. This means that multiple local
%D checks resulting in definitions are not that efficient.
%D So, apart from an occasional switch, one should define an
%D environment at the outer level.

%D We default all parameters to the main bodyfont size, so the next

%D
%D All parameters can be redefined when needed, so one doesnot have to
%D stick to the default ones.

%D \macros
%D   {definebodyfont}
%D
%D The next step in defining a bodyfont involves the actual font
%D files, which can be recognized by their extension
%D \type{tfm}. Installing those file is often beyond the
%D scope of the user and up to the system administrator.
%D
%D \showsetup{definebodyfont}
%D
%D This commands takes three arguments: a (series of) bodyfont
%D size(s), the style group to which the definitions belong,
%D and an alternative, as specified by the \TEX\ (math) families,
%D extended with~a, b~\unknown.
%D
%D We show two examples, that show all the alternative
%D scaling options. The \type{\tfa} alternatives can be
%D extended with \type{\bfa}, \type{\slb}, etc. or even
%D \type{e} and higher alternatives. The magic scaled
%D values are derived from plain \TEX's \type {\magstep}:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \definebodyfont [12pt] [rm]
%D   [tf=cmr12,
%D    bf=cmbx12,
%D    it=cmti12,
%D    sl=cmsl12,
%D    bi=cmbxti10 at 12pt,
%D    bs=cmbxsl10 at 12pt,
%D   tfa=cmr12    scaled 1.200,
%D   tfb=cmr12    scaled 1.440,
%D   tfc=cmr12    scaled 1.728,
%D   tfd=cmr12    scaled 2.074,
%D    sc=cmcsc10  at 12pt]
%D
%D \definebodyfont [12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt] [rm]
%D   [tf=lbr  sa 1,
%D    bf=lbd  sa 1,
%D    it=lbi  sa 1,
%D    sl=lbsl sa 1,
%D    bi=lbdi sa 1,
%D    bs=lbdi sa 1,
%D   tfa=lbr  sa 1.200,
%D   tfb=lbr  sa 1.440,
%D   tfc=lbr  sa 1.728,
%D   tfd=lbr  sa 2.074,
%D    sc=lbr  sa 0.833]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D The second example shows that we can define more sizes at
%D once. The main difference between these examples is that the
%D Computer Modern Roman come in many design sizes. This means
%D that there we cannot define them in bulk using \type{sa}.
%D Instead of \type{rm} (roman) one can define \type{ss} (sans
%D serif), \type{tt} (teletype), \type{hw} (hand written),
%D \type{cg} (calygraphic) and whatever styles.
%D
%D The first argument may be a comma separated list. This,
%D combined with specifications using \type{sa} can save a lot
%D of typing. Although all arguments should be specified, we
%D treat the second argument as optional.
%D
%D Defining a bodyfont involves two actions: defining the
%D specific style related alternatives, like \type{\rma},
%D \type{\bfa} and \type{\rmsla}, and storing the definitions
%D of their bodyfont size related fonts. The first step is
%D bodyfont independant but executed every time. This permits
%D user definitions like \type{\tfw} or \type{\bfq} for real
%D large alternatives.

%D If we move design size info to the lfg file (after all only lm
%D has design sizes) we can get rid of much code .. 2012 or so.

%D The next two macros are user ones. With \type{\setupbodyfont}
%D one can set the document bodyfont size, font family, style
%D and/or options defined in files, for example:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \setupbodyfont[modern,12pt,roman]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D This command affects the document as a whole: text, headers
%D and footers. The second macro however affects only the text:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \switchtobodyfont[10pt]
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D So we've got:
%D
%D \showsetup{setupbodyfont}
%D \showsetup{switchtobodyfont}
%D
%D Both macros look alike. The second one also has to take
%D all kind of keywords into account.
