What is PSNFSS?
PSNFSS is an abbreviation of ‘post script new font selecting system,’ a terminology from LaTeX. It is an additional package that is usually installed on your LaTeX system. One of its purposes is to access the standard postscript fonts that printers have built in, also known as the thirty five base fonts. Part of PSNFSS is a set of font metrics (the tfm-files) that allows TeX to use the fonts for typesetting (TeX only knows about metrics, not outlines).
PSNFSS contains the following fonts:
font family | styles | KB name | ConTeXt typescript |
---|---|---|---|
AvantGarde | 4: Book, Demi + Oblique | pag | urwgothic, using the urwgothic typescript |
Bookman | 4: Light, Demi + Italic | pbk | bookman |
Courier | 4: (Normal), Bold + Oblique | pcr | courier (tt) |
Helvetica | 4: (Normal), Bold + Oblique | phv | helvetica (ss) |
Helvetica-Narrow | 4: (Normal), Bold + Oblique | phv*n | ? |
New Century Schoolbook | 4: Roman, Bold + Italic | pnc | schoolbook |
Palatino | 4: Roman, Bold + Italic | ppl | palatino |
Symbol | 1: (Normal) | psy | ? |
Times | 4: Roman, Bold + Italic | ptm | times |
Zapf Chancery | 1: MediumItalic | pzc | chancery (cg!) |
Zapf Dingbats | 1: (Normal) | pzd | (access through symbols) |
How do I access these fonts from ConTeXt?
You can use the various psnfss font families by using commands like
\usetypescript[times][ec] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt]
Note that in the case of “helvetica” these lines should be replaced with:
\usetypescript[helvetica][ec] \setupbodyfont[helvetica,ss,12pt]
or
\usetypescript[helvetica][ec] \setupbodyfont[helvetica,12pt] \starttext \ss
since helvetica is sans serif.
Here is an example:
%\usetypescript [adobekb][8r,ec] % uncomment for old ConTeXt \usetypescript[times][ec] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] \starttext \input knuth \blank And this is some maths with PostScript fonts. \startformula {a \over b} = {c \over d} \iff ad - bc = 0, \qquad \int_0^{2\pi}\!\!\! \sin^2(x)dx =\pi, \qquad {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0, \qquad \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}{1 \over k^2} = {\pi^2 \over 6}. \stopformula Some ligatures: ffi, ffl. \stoptext
Notes
Pdftex warning messages
You are likely to get some warnings from pdfetex like
Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-times.map): cannot open font map file
but these are harmless and can be ignored.
Older ConTeXt releases (pre 2006.01.09)
If you use an older ConTeXt release (like one that came with your TeX installation) you will have to change an internal mapping of font filenames with this command:
\usetypescript [adobekb][8r,ec]
In new ConTeXt releases, this has become the default behaviour.
