Is it enough when i say \definefontsynonym [PalatinoSymbols] [] \definefontsynonym [PalatinoSymbolsBold] [] \definefontsynonym [SerifSymbols] [PalatinoSymbols] \definefontsynonym [SerifSymbolsBold] [PalatinoSymbolsBold] \definesymbol [registered] [\getglyph{SerifSymbols}{\char123}] to reach the same automatism.

In both cases - declaring a symbol - using a symbol from a predefined encoding one must know which symbols are available, thus some predefined symbol-declarations could make the life easier. TS1 s a good starting-point, since it includes most of the symbols commonly available in commercial fonts. But i see, there is no good integration in texfont. Regards, Jens
