I adjusted it to my own situation (AGaramondPro, not the Premier
version). And I ran it succesfully. However, I can't see where the files
have gone? Compiling my .tex file also doesn't change anything.

I declared this, maybe I went wrong here... I tried several different
font names:

\usetypescript[AGaramondPro][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[AGaramondPro]

I also tried 'garamond', 'adobegaramondpro'.

Besides this I also noticed the script didn't support Semibold, which to
me is very essential. The Bold version of AGaramondPro doesn't have any
small caps, and Semibold just looks beter.

And if I understand the script correctly, the font in converted into
static versions supporting OsF and Sc, right? (Ruby isn't very readable,
when you're not a Ruby programmer).
