Hi,
Walter Schmidt has made the font DayRoman from Apostrophic Labs
available to TeX. Currently the support package doesn't contain any
ConTeXt support, i.e. typescripts.
I've made for me a typescript for these fonts and now Walter is
interested in including ConTeXt support in his package.
His package is distributed as zip-file that can be directly unpacked
in a texmf-tree. Thus, where should the typescript-file be located?
In my private texmf-tree i use
TEXMF/tex/context/user/typescripts/
and the file names start with "cts-" (i.e. cts-dayroman.tex).
Is there some standard how to name typescripts and locate them in
a texmf-tree, so that distribution of typescripts is possible in a
controled way?
BTW, i would prefer that
\usetypescriptfile[dayroman]
first tries to load dayroman.cts and if it is not available it tries
dayroman.tex. Then we can use the extension "cts" for
ConTeXt TypeScripts in the future.
Best,
Jens

I always name them "type-vendor-collection.tex" (e.g.
"type-adobe-palatino.tex")
and put them into mytexmf/tex/context/user
Typescripts are simply TeX files -- you could put the commands
even in your environment file or like that -- so they should
stay with "tex" instead of inventing something new that
nobody (and noproggy) understands.
BTW: My typescripts files are updated, and my site finally shows file
dates.
Grüßlis vom Hraban!

IMO, the problem is that an official external package should
not put something in user/. Therefore i would prefer something like
TEXMF/tex/context/type/, but here Hans has to agree so that
future versions of ConTeXt do not use this directory too.

ok, on the other hand LaTeXs fd-files are only TeX files too.

locating is done with kpsewhich

how about:
/tex/context/third/typescripts
cts-*.tex is ok for me, a tex suffix is to be prefered because of (1)
syntax highlighting editors and (2) kpse file searching (also, cts-* is
already denoting the kind of file)
if we can have some kind of QA on packages (say: confirmed that things
work) have no ptoblem with having a third party zip, although ctan is the
most natural place for it (but i can mirror that)
