Re: how to choose a font variant "book" / LMTX

["Heinrich Paeßens via ntg-context" <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

'both' would be the way to go, how can I set this up?

I don’t use typescripts just the definefontfamily and I suppose the book variant belongs to the family but is maybe an unloved relative ...
