A callygraphy notebook environment

A callygraphy notebook environment

Hi all,

This is more related to LaTeX than Org, but I'm sharing it here in case
anyone is interested. For a work I'm doing I've written a LaTeX
environment that tries to mimic the look of a calligraphy notebook. By
default it uses the qtmerryscript font, included in TeX live, but this
can be changed to any other calligraphic-style font. It works only with
LuaTeX, since it uses a function in Lua to add the grids.

An screenshots:

To use it in Org, a special block would be ideal. For example:

#+ATTR_LaTeX: :options [fontfeature={Color=pen},fontsize=\large]
#+begin_mynotebook
Some text...
#+end_mynotebook

I am attaching an Org document to test it.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Interesting I like them all. I converted your org file to latex and run
it with lualatex but the font used there does not correspond to all the
three screenshots.

Now I am not really acquainted with lualatex but with xelatex, I
converted QTMerryScript.otf to ttf and run it with xelatex. Nice. 

What are the other otf fonts you are using for these screenshots?

Thanks

Uwe

Hi Uwe,

Thanks for testing the document.

The default font for the environment 'mynotebook" is qtmerryscript
(shown in the third screenshot, if I remember correctly). I chose that
one because it is included in TeX live 2021.

But with XelaTeX the 'mynotebook' environment will not work, since it uses
a function in Lua to generate the grids in a notebook way.

The document itself includes some links to download the other typefaces. Look
in the non-exportable section, named 'Conf', where it says "The different options
for the environment...". Anyway, I paste it here too:

- Vladimir Script :: https://fontzone.net/font-details/vladimir-script
- Anke Calligraphic :: https://fontzone.net/font-details/anke-calligraphic-fg
- Studio Script :: https://fontzone.net/download/studioscriptctt

(The third font was not in the screenshots).

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Right. That is true, at some point I have to learn lualatex, I am
afraid..

Thanks, that was helpful.
