Features
{ name = "msbm10.tfm", vector = "tex-mb" },
},
Normally users will not define such tables but the keys give an indication of what is
involved. The same is true for the previously shown tables: they are just provided in the
ConT E Xt distribution.
Text fonts also can have goodies. We start with a rather dumb one and there will be
not that many of those. This one is needed to turn a Type1 font with a rather special
encoding into a Unicode font. The next mapping is possible because the dingbats are
part of Unicode.
return {
name = "dingbats",
version = "1.00",
comment = "Goodies that complement dingbats (funny names).",
author = "Hans Hagen",
copyright = "ConTeXt development team",
remapping = {
tounicode = true,
unicodes = {
a1 = 0x2701,
a10 = 0x2721,
a100 = 0x275E,
a101 = 0x2761,
a102 = 0x2762,
Applying this encoding happens in two steps. Because goodies like this are just features,
we need to define a proper font feature set:
\definefontfeature
[dingbats]
[mode=base,
goodies=dingbats,
unicoding=yes]
We have a base mode font, so no special processing takes place. The goodies key is used
to communicate the goodies file. The unicoding key is used to apply the encoding. Of
course this only works because the remapper code is present in the core and is hooked
in to the font initialization code. The dingbats feature set is predefined, just as the font
definition:
\definefontsynonym [ZapfDingbats] [file:uzdr] [features=dingbats]
Here is a goodie file that I made a while ago:
return {
